We just moved from Houston and we're trying to find a good restaurant that sells spring rolls and pho. This place is it. The spring rolls are super sized, meat is flavorful and they set the stage for the tasty Pho. We also had the dumplings and a couple of egg rolls. Everything was top notch. It's a small dining experience but seats well and the focus is definitely on service and flavor. Can't wait to try more options. It's decorated like a quaint little diner and had 80s music playing when we were there. Great job Chef! read more

This is a cute little Asian fusion spot, and it really impressed me. The food was flavorful and delicious, with generous portion sizes that make it well worth the visit. The soup was especially nice, rich in flavor and comforting. Service was quick, responsive, and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. read more

Horrible experience with pick up order. This place is always so good but boy were they off. Placed an order for orders of two shrimp springrolls and two plates of hunan chicken n shrimp in white sauce. I confirmed my order like 3 times with the girl on the phone. Please bag separately. They give me a time and I show up to wait n wait n wait. I pay for the order and wait, finally asked about it. Ok so they are a little busy . They bring it out. Two big bags I assume all is there. I get my order and leave , get home and there is only one meal not two. Open the meal and no shrimp...unbelievable pure chicken,. I call up there and the girl says we have you down for 1 plate and no shrimp. Wait What!! Unreal ,no apologies other than there was a miscommunication. Really? I repeated it 3 times.. Spent $54.00 for 1 plate chicken and 2 orders of spring rolls. Horrible customer service, expensive too While the chicken was good our other party didn't have a meal! Definitely have no desire to go back. Our favorite server, Alice was not there otherwise my order would've been correct!!! read more

Amazing ... glad they were out of dumplings so I could try something different. A must visit when in town. read more

Quality of the food was excellent. The portions are large. The service is friendly and fast. If you want a "nicer" dining experience this is not the place. But if you want delicious, hot, and savory food in a comfortable, inviting, and cozy, setting then this is it. read more

This is the 2nd time I've come here & this place is right on! The food is consistent & delicious every time. The service is helpful & fast. I love this place because it's super authentic. Although it's small, it is always busy, which I'm so glad for because that means they'll be here forever. I also like the fact that they have tvs all around of different cooking shows of Asian foods, I love watching that while I wait for my food. It just makes me hungrier. read more

I eat here a lot! And when I get it to go is when they usually mess up my order. When I eat there, the service is really good. I have no complaints. The waitresses are attentive and always check on you which is always a good plus I usually get the Singapore Street noodles And those are really good. I've been tried the pho yet, but I want to the place itself is really cool kind of relaxing when it's not busy but when it's busy, it's loud but that's good for the The restaurant. Always support local. read more

Great customer service and good size portions. Everything I've tried has been excellent. Love the chicken curry.

Food here was okay. Appetizers were the best part, we got spicy garlic edamame and fresh spring rolls. For the main entree got the Thai chicken basil. Chicken was rubbery and portions were big. Flavor was okay, but felt missing some key spices to help enhance the flavor. I would recommend condensing menu down, can be overwhelming. Service was okay, felt rushed to order leading to not being able to enjoy the meal. read more

The Pho is delicious, a 4 star. The rest of the menu is so so. If you are wanting something other than soup, go elsewhere.

They served crab Rangoon without crab. Plus didn't have pork fried rice. The soup was served with very little chips.

Isabel our waitress was very nice and attentive. The portions are large and prices are fair. Food is excellent. Cozy atmosphere.

One of my very favorite places in all of South Texas. The Pho is absolutely perfect. My husband had the combination fried rice that could have easily served 4 people. The service was very polite and helpful and just the right amount of attention. The ambience is homey & comfortable. We will definitely be back. read more

Love their food and their portions sizes??? My goodness two can eat off one plate and still have leftovers. Their honey chili chicken is a favorite of mine, comes out hot and unbelievably crispy each time. The place is quite small and does get busy, so it can be a little warm in there at times. Also, sometimes the music is a bit loud. Otherwise, Lei Kitchen is definitely worth the stop for delicious food. read more

The food here was good, but unfortunately the hospitality completely ruined the experience. Our server did not seem to know what she was doing and was very inconsiderate. She made multiple mistakes with our order and then essentially told us to deal with it and still pay for the incorrect items. There was no accountability or attempt to fix the issue, which was extremely frustrating. Good food isn't enough to make up for poor service and lack of professionalism. I wouldn't return because of the service alone. read more

Best Asian food in corpus! Always yummy! My favorite place for curry and their drunken noodles dish is amazing! read more

Pregnant and craved chinese food and so I ordered off uber eats and it gave me food poisoning. I got General Tso's chicken, egg drop soup, and egg rolls I don't know which did it but i suspect it was the chicken. read more

Good authentic cuisine-may have to wait a bit because they get busy -but worth it! I like Vietnamese food so this hits the spot.

Delicious south East Asian food with an extensive menu to choose from! The place was packed when we got there but the food was worth it. We had the mapo tofu udon noodles with ground pork and the char siu pork buns, both dishes were great, big portions, full of flavor! read more

My boyfriend and I ordered to-go from this place last year during peak COVID. I believe we ordered the curry and the bibimbap. We were underwhelmed with the flavors of our dishes and never went back until a few weeks ago. We decided to give it another try since the reviews seemed promising. Big mistake. Beef spring rolls: (4/5) they are massive which justifies the price. The beef was tasty and the veggies were fresh. I also enjoyed the added crunch. The peanut sauce was yummy. Drunken noodles: (1/5) the main take away from this dish is it severely lacked the delicious UMAMI flavor Asian inspired dishes typically have. It was very strange and hard to describe but it completely lacked depth of flavor and it didn't taste "asian". Didn't enjoy this one at all. Thai chili basil with beef and shrimp: (1/5) the same thing with this dish. It was sorely lacking in depth of flavor. Didn't have umami taste. The only thing I tasted was lots of salt. It was not appetizing. The service was good and the ambiance of this place is nice but sadly, the food did not live up to the hype. We were completely thrown off by our dishes and will not be returning for a 3rd try. :( read more

I heard about this place for a while. I stopped at the car wash on Saratoga and decided have lunch by myself while the car was getting washed. It's a little small hole-in-the- wall type restaurant but very neat and clean. My waitress was an Asian girl named Alice, she was nice and sweet. She bought me a coke before I knew that they had beer. I told her I wanted beer and she let me keep the diet Pepsi anyway. Got the Sapporo for the first time, it was delicious. I ordered the wok combo, beef, chicken, shrimp and white rice. You also get a small bowl of egg drop soup, all for $18 on the lunch menu. The stir-fry was really flavorful and cooked well. The stir-fry portion size was adequate even big however, in my opinion the rice was too small. I had finished the rice with only half of the stir-fry. Next time I'm getting extra rice. Bought the leftovers home and gave it to the wife. Over all it's a good place for Asian food but the portions are bigger and cheaper at Nina Raman. I'd say the flavors are a bit better over here tho.‍ read more

This place is everything prior reviews say. There are so many choices on the menu m, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese. We had the avocado spring rolls, pork egg rolls, beef drunken noodles (pad kee mao), and Thai curry chicken. Everything was delicious. The drunken noodles were some of the best I have had anywhere. read more

This was my first time here and the flavor was really good but the Chinese sausage was really over cooked almost burnt! And there was also suppose to be chicken and shrimp but there was only two shrimps in the entire dish. But I really enjoyed the flavor of this fried rice.. this one was called the Yangzhou Fried rice. I would definitely eat there again though because the flavor of the rice was really good. read more

The service was great, our waitress was kind and helpful. The food was great, my boys are picky when it comes to pho broth but they gave it a 9 out of ten! Spring rolls are huge, only get 2 (can be shared). read more

Tried this place for the first time at 1:30 on June 16, 2025. We avoided the lunch hour, but still this small restaurant was packed. Every table was taken and now I know why. I love Asian food of all types so am always anxious to try new places. I'm usually disappointed, but not this time. Food and service were exceptional. I would have to say the red seafood curry was one the best I have ever had - certainly the best in Corpus Christi. The black pepper beef spring rolls were huge, like burrito size, and very well seasoned. They are not afraid of using spice here - my kind of place. One of my new favorite restaurants in Corpus Christi. Thanks for the pleasant surprise. read more

Came here maybe 2yrs ago while my wife and I was on vacation. Tried this spot at random and so happy we did. I had got 2 different flavors of wings, I believe the thai basil peanut and the chili rock flavors. Both were bomb but the chili rock was my favorite. I also got Lo mein which im picky bout but it was real good like how it used to be back in fhe day real flavorful not dry but not to greasy either. We returned this past weekend to find everything just as good as it was a couple years ago. Im not from texas but have lived in Houston for the past decade and this is still my favorite asian food ive had in all of texas. Maybe even back home in Fl too. wish it was closer to me lol read more

Love their egg rolls!!! Sweet owners, clean food truck! Highly recommend for anyone who has not tried.

This place was on my bookmarks for a year and I finally got a chance to try it out! I loved the interior and the little decors that made the restaurant unique. There were so many items on the menu and I wish there were some pictures of the items to make it easier to choose!! We got the pho & jjampong which were SO GOOD! Unfortunately the side dish of beansprouts were not very fresh so we didnt use it in our soup. The jjampong was super yummy! Loved the broth it was very flavorful and spicy. read more

I am baffled by the highly positive reviews for this restaurant. My experience was not good. The older lady who took my order which was more than $20 asked if I wanted my change? I said, "I guess not." Ha ha. But I thought I'd get my to go order promptly in return. I was wrong. It sat on a rack for at least eight minutes before a younger waitress asked my name and brought it to me. The quality of the dinner didn't match the price. The beef was fatty and over-boiled and they were chintzy with the vegetables. There were literally about four tiny, tiny strands of carrot in the meal. No condiments were provided, not even soy sauce in my to go order. I don't like to have to leave a negative review but I feel it's my responsibility to report this so that they might do better in the future for other patrons. read more

The food was DELICIOUS and can compete with Houston restaurants. We got the salt and pepper fries as an appetizer and it was DELICIOUS! I would highly recommend this place. The service was also really good. read more

Excellent food, I was surprised at the variety! I ordered a spicy kimchi udon noodle soup with chicken, combination pho, and chicken lettuce wrap, and all were delicious!

I would recommend giving Lei Kitchen a try! read more

Reasonable prices for the large portions that are served. Would absolutely recommend, and will be back! read more

LEI KITCHEN - Rainbow teriyaki chicken (super delicious) - Vietnamese Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Tried Lei Kitchen based on a friend's recommendation. Now we're going to be GOOD friends because this place is GREAT! Great food, great service, great prices. We got there in prime time for the dinner hour. There are probably about a couple dozen tables inside so be forewarned. There were still a few available, but I could see where they could fill up quick. The menu is pretty diverse - covering many regions of Asia, along with some "fusion" choices. There are also the standard, Chinese American food options; General this, Orange that, Sesame this.... But, I go for outside-the-box and they've got it. I ordered the Spicy Thai Udon Noodles with chicken. The plate came loaded with good chunks of celery, onion, bok choy, carrot and very moist, tender chicken. And underneath was fresh, tender udon noodles. All in a spicy garlic sauce. Outfreakinstanding!! My wife ordered the Bun Thit Ga (Vietnamese Rice Noodle Salad with grilled chicken). It came with an excellent helping of chicken and avocado on the salad. Bonus! You normally don't see avocado on there. It works well! The nuoc cham sauce that comes with it is quite tasty as well. As mentioned, I'm looking forward to coming back (often) and trying the other dishes. There's so many, I know I'll be happy for quite a while. read more

LEI KITCHEN - Spicy Thai Udon Noodles with chicken. Excellent! - Vietnamese Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Our party of four adults wanted to try a different Asian place so we chose this tiny restaurant near Weber and Saratoga. It only has about 12 small tables but was bustling when we arrived. We were greeted, given a large menu and then gave our smiling waitress our drink orders. The menu is extensive with familiar Chinese selections plus pho, Thai dishes, Korean dishes, Vietnamese dishes, Japanese dishes and interesting choices like salads and vermicelli bowls. We chose dumplings and soup for appetizers, then seafood fried rice, cashew nut chicken, snow pea beef and chicken lo mein for our entrees. Each plate was delicious, the best Asian food we have had in some time. Huge portions, every veggie was fresh and sauces were excellent. The soup was good (could've been a bit warmer in temperature) and the dumplings were full of meat as were the eggrolls. This tiny place is very clean; no junk on the floors, no tables waiting to be cleaned. They do a brisk takeout business too. Our waitress was very efficient, knew the menu and was kind enough to ask the chef about a couple of special requests from our table. They do have beer and wine available. They have a sign near the cash register that states "Due to inflation we have been forced to increase our prices. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for supporting our business." Prices are high. Total for four entrees, four soups, an order of eggrolls, an order of dumplings, three teas and one water was $94.61 without tip. We did have enough leftovers though for another meal! We will be back soon. read more

Popped in around noon on a Wednesday with a craving for dumplings. I've ordered DoorDash from here before but this was my first time inside. It was bumpin people wise and music wise, a little on the loud side but the playlist was energetic and a good vibe for an afternoon rush. The menu is large and making a decision was the hardest part of the experience. I went with the steamed dumplings, the Korean Fried Chicken wings with a side of Kimchi. Dumplings were not as hot as I would have liked but delicious. Wings were fantastic, the sauce is a perfect balance of hot and sweet and they were crunchy while also being very saucy. The side of kimchi was tasty I do wish the portion was a bit bigger for $6. Service was also pretty good for the lunch rush. Can't wait to try more of the menu! read more
