And we are back again!!! The personalized service, food portion, and attention to detail when my water gets low (cuz I need a lot! lol) is everything. Don't come here looking for fine dining unrealistic expectations. It's great food with love from a family kitchen. read more

Lei's Asian Bistro - Pad Thai with Chicken specially made to order for shellfish allergy - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

It's been a couple of years since I've been in Lei's Asian Bistro, my wife and I were meeting another couple for dinner and they had never been here before. The restaurant is a family owned and operated restaurant. We met the young couple who owns it and had a nice conversation with both of them. The wife was actually our server, I tried the Hot and Spicy soup which was indeed spicy. I also had an excellent egg roll along with the spicy version of the Szechuan chicken and both were delicious. My wife passed on the appetizers and ordered the Seafood Delight which she said was delightful. It had a light, white sauce and was very flavorful. One of our friends had a chicken and rice stir fry and the other had Wor-Sur-Gai. Both of them enjoyed their meals. The food and service were excellent. We'll be back. read more

Lei's Asian Bistro (Polaris) Would I spend my own money here again? Yes--but I'd order differently. Quick Facts * Price: $44.71 after tax for two entrées, appetizer, soup, and drink. * Parking: Large shopping center lot. * Atmosphere: Quiet, spacious, clean. * Wait: Food arrived hot and in a reasonable amount of time. * Value: Good portion sizes for the price. * Lunch Deal: Free soup with an entrée Monday-Saturday (11-3), with the option to add an egg roll for $1. Lei's Asian Bistro feels like a neighborhood restaurant. Nothing flashy, but clean, comfortable, and somewhere you could easily sit and enjoy dinner. Every dish arrived hot, and the portions felt worth the price. Crab Rangoon The wrappers were crispy and fried well, but the filling was heavier on cream cheese than crab. The sweet-and-sour sauce was sweeter than I usually like. I wouldn't reorder these. Wonton Soup 1/2 The broth was decent, and I liked the wonton noodles. The pork was the issue for me. The broth contained very little pork, and the filling inside the wontons had a dense, chewy texture with a flavor I couldn't enjoy. I ended up removing the filling and eating the wrappers instead. Pork Singapore Noodles The seasoning reminded me of chicken ramen noodles. Not bad--just not something I'd specifically come back for. The pork, however, was excellent. The cut and seasoning were my favorite part of the entire meal and made me interested in trying another pork dish. Chicken Lo Mein I didn't taste it myself, but my dining partner described it as flavorful and said they'd absolutely order it again. Final Thoughts Lei's didn't win me over with the appetizers, but it showed enough promise that I'd come back for another pork entrée and let the rest of the menu make its case. Confidence Level: 6.5/10 Recommended: Pork entrées, Chicken Lo Mein. Skip (for me): Crab Rangoon, Wonton Soup. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious, service is great and the restaurant is always clean.

I tried Lei's Asian Bistro with a friend. I had Hunan beef and it was delicious! Their egg drop soup was amazing! It was probably the best I have ever had. Our server was very nice and attentive. The restaurant ambiance was okay, but nothing special. All in all it was a great experience and I will definitely be back soon. read more

Got takeout and was really happy with it. Portions were a good size, and everything had a lot of flavor. The chicken lo mein was so good, and the General Tso's chicken with white rice was very solid. If you want more broccoli, order the $5 side, the main plates are mostly chicken, which I personally prefer. The place itself is lovely with lots of seating. The order was ready on time, stayed hot on the drive home, and was ready to eat right away. Will definitely be back. One of the better Asian spots in Columbus. read more

Walking in, the guy was like on the other side of the restaurant scream out. Sat here of to go? First impression. Failed Im not at your house, I'm your customer ‍ Told me to seat anywhere. Whatever. I seated and he handed me the menu. I told ordered the lunch menu l, I think I ordered the General Tao Chicken, came with 2 broccoli. lol I'm not kidding. White rice too Probably won't be back, don't care much for it. But seem like everyone like it, go give a tried, maybe the guy will walk up to you when you walking in instead of screaming across the restaurant read more

I ate here for the first time. Wow! So delicious! I had the Mongolian chicken and fried dumplings. The flavors are so amazing and everything is cooked to complement the blend of ingredients. The service is outstanding. Please go and enjoy this gem! read more

The place was very clean smelling and looking when I first walked in. The service was very prompt. I ordered Togo since I was staying in the hotel next door. Got my food in less than 10 minutes. They did give me the wrong rice but when he read off what was in the bag I caught it. They let me keep the mistaken rice. The food was really a lot better than some other Asian food places I have been. Very reasonably priced for the amount of food I got. Definitely recommend to anyone craving Asian food in the area. read more

Their food is exceptional and the service is nothing short of excellent. I have a shellfish allergy and Kim revised the Pad Thai sauce to be sure that it was accommodating and considerate of my allergy. The place is clean and the music creates a comfortable atmosphere. I love this place and this is my seventh time, their food is truly authentic and the portions are great. read more

Our first carryout after seeing good reviews. The egg roll w shrimp was good but overly crisp. Hot and sour soup was inedible, not sour but extremely peppery, no pork/meat present. We ordered sesame beef and general tso shrimp. Both entries were coated in a sweet brown gelatinous sauce. We could NOT differentiate between the "beef" - (looked like chicken), or "shrimp". Awful stuff, we won't return. read more

The greeter and the waitress were nice, the place was clean and the service was good but I was disappointed with my food. I ordered tofu pad thai - they call it pai thai - which was shown on the menu with a chili pepper which means hot and spicy. The waitress checked to make sure I wanted it hot and spicy. I said yes. When it arrived, it was neither hot nor spicy. In fact, it wasn't even tangy as most pad thai is. It was just sweet! Eww. The waitress did bring me hot chili oil to add to it which I appreciated but why should I have to do that? Especially after the checking? It also had no bean sprouts which I think is the only time I've ever ordered pad thai and it came with no sprouts. My friend was satisfied with her egg foo yung. read more

The first thing I noticed walking into Lei's is it is very clean, organized and the are playing soft, peaceful music. I ordered lunch cashew chicken and my mom ordered Pork Egg Foo Young. Most restaurants don't even make egg foo young anymore because it is labor intensive. My meal came quickly but the egg foo young took awhile. Good things take time! When it came out, it was super fresh, hot and fluffy. I'd never seen it so fluffy before and the owner said that's the sign of freshly made egg foo young. They are also very friendly and accommodating here so I'm sure you'll love it. read more

My husband and I love this place. Everything we've had here is so great that we frequently drive down from Delaware to get lunch or dinner at Leis. The fried rice: Great taste, seasoned nicely with lots of meat. The beef chow fun: A personal favorite of mine. ALWAYS good. The salt and pepper chicken wings: Delicious! The sesame chicken: Crispy! It's always nice to have the chicken fried nicely so it stays crispy while swimming in sauce. The staff is always friendly, and the ambience is typical Chinese food joint, clean with calm music. read more

I doordashed this to my hotel, so I wasn't expecting the food to be super fresh. However, the sesame chicken was still pretty crispy and hot, with lots of sauce. I know I didn't order the veggie plate, but I was expecting more than just four pieces of broccoli. The fried rice was good. The crab rangoons were delicious and they tasted like they just came out from the fryer despite me eating them 30+ minutes after they were made. The tiramisu was so fluffy and light, not overly sweet and I really enjoyed it! read more

I ordered takeout through grub hub, which was an easy experience. The expected arrival time was very reasonable. The delivery was timely and my food arrived hot! The food was extremely tasty! The spring roll was crispy and the filling had a very fresh taste. The steamed dumplings tasted great with or without their dipping sauce. The Singapore Style Noodle was perfect, and the portion was very generous. The Szechuan Trio House Special is also delicious and has a nice amount of spicy kick. The food here is both delicious and served in generous portions! I can't wait to try other menu items! read more

Adding on to my previous review, they topped my last experience. It was my 5th time coming here and they remembered my exact order, and gave us a complementary dessert. Their pho again was amazing, even better than when I had first had it. I can't recommend this place enough. I've brought all my friends to this place and none of them had any complaints, they all loved this place. read more

Good value and the sesame chicken and crab rangoons were great. Fast , consistent service.

Food isn't bad. I'd say 3.5 out of 5 stars General tso is crispy and not overly sweet. Beef noodle dish was good. Most of the flavor was in the beef though. Noodles could use more flavoring. Fried rice also fairly good. Again, most of the flavor was in the beef read more

One of my favorite little hidden gems in Columbus. Never super busy or loud with a fully packed dining room. Every time I've been in there are only ever a few customers, so a good spot for a date or catching up with friends. The food exceeded my expectations the most. The beef and broccoli always tastes super fresh and sautéed in plenty of sauce so it's not lacking in flavor. The chicken is consistently crunchy and not chewy like it's been sitting out. On top of it all, the owners and their children are very kind and cordial. Would happily go back to dine in or take out anytime. read more

Originally going to order take out from Lei's Asian Bistro, but seems like they had been expanded their dinning area since I last been here [which is like a year back ]. So end up dine in at the restaurant. I always prefer on their noodle dishes than the stir fry. This time I tried their Beef Ho Fun and they taste decent. read more

Amazing food and service was fantastic Very friendly Enjoyed the crab and shrimp egg drop soup was delicious

The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to name foods that were gluten free and why. He went above and beyond in providing service, refilling iced tea without needing to be asked. The food was delicious! read more

Passing through, stopped for gas and thought we were hungry for Asian food. Staff was friendly and kind. My date ordered Chicken Singapore noodles. I ordered the basil chicken. The yellow curry that came on the Singapore noodles was absolutely incredible. In the basil chicken, the sauce was delightful and savory. The chicken cooked perfectly and the fried rice that came with it was pretty standard. The PORTION SIZES. This is worth even the dinner prices. The Singapore noodles came with no less than 13 million total noodles. I'll likely never be back through here but if you're coming through, this place is outstanding. Also, we're from Texas and love spicy, we are realizing that even though we asked for extra extra spice, it's not spicy. This doesn't mean it's bland, but don't expect any kicks anywhere. If you're more local and used to Ohio spice, the way it comes I'm sure is just fine. read more

We ordered takeout on Christmas Day and it was delicious. They had plenty of vegetarian options, we loved the general Tso tofu as well as the the home style. We loved the lo mein. Overall the mixed veg and fried rice was ok, but would rave about the tofu dishes read more

Food and service were fantastic. Wonderful place with friendly staff. Will come back here again!

Needing some pho? They've got ya covered. Sesame noodle- check! Lo mein that's satisfies the lo mein connoisseur in the house? House lo mein for the win! Pad Thai? Yum. In short even down to the classics like sweet and sour or general tso's they've got you covered. High quality delish. read more

A new renovated space that seems perfect for a simple family dinner. The service was efficient and friendly. The owner seems to know a lot of the regulars. We went on a Friday night and the place had a steady stream of both takeout and dine in customers. The vegetables are very fresh and the food has a lot of that quintessential "wok hei / dragon's breath" in their dishes. I'm looking forward to more of an authentic Chinese menu soon (ie: salted fish fried rice) to come per the owner. Everything we had was really good. Wish the black pepper scallops wasn't breaded and deep fried, but overall it was an ok dish and some people might like that. read more
