Lee’s Kitchen + Cocktails

Greyson & Jackie were wonderful and very welcoming. If you're looking for a place with great drinks , stellar food and an over the top customer experience, Lee's is your place. Holmes

We were greeted and sat immediately on a pleasant but cold January Wednesday evening. The interior was clean and well decorated, and we had plenty of space at/around our table.Our server walked us through the small but plenty-diverse menu, and we settled on a Vermicelli bowl and their 24-hour Pho. I really wanted to try the shaken beef, but it was quite chilly outside and the Pho just felt right.Both of the dishes really were good! The broth of the pho was complex, and the meat was well cooked... nice and tender and lightly salted. We did have to ask for more sriracha cause we like it spicy.The Vermicelli was lighter than expected (especially for the pork version), but that was actually a pleasant surprise. We finished most of both dishes to be sure!Prices were reasonable and the location was off the beaten path. It's a toss up as to whether I'd drive back out to try that beef dish! Thanks Lee's!

Visit Date: August 30, 2024You know how sometimes you get bored of your kitchen and want to eat out, but don't want to splurge? Lee's Kitchen is the perfect place for one of those nights.My mom said this place was good, having been here with my sister before.We shared the fried oyster mushrooms and spicy garlic basil green beans. I got the Hainan chicken, my dad got the short rib beef pho, and my mom the drunken noodles. Everything was delicious, as was the service (he explains how to eat the Hainan chicken to people who are unaware)! The restaurant is very clean and decorated well.

The food is fresh and decent. I think you can get pretty good Vietnamese for cheaper elsewhere in the city though. Although the ambience is more upscale, and the service was great too.

I was looking for a casual Asian spot to grab dinner outside of my usual choices and came across Lee's Kitchen.Tucked in the corner of a massive shopping center just off 290, this place didn't disappoint! The food was phenomenal. Both dishes my party tried were outstanding. The Brisket Pho was super filling, with a generous portion of meat and the Ribeye Fried Rice was just as flavorful and generous in portion size, making it hard to pick a favorite. If Brisket isn't your jam they also have other proteins to choose from.We didn't get cocktails, so I can't comment on those, but I imagine they must be good if the food is any indication. The service was a little spotty not bad, but not exceptional. The atmosphere is more fast-casual, but the prices are not, which would be my only complaint.If you're in the Westlake/Oak Hill area, it's worth stopping in to try or grabbing it for takeout.

Just went to try the new brunch menu here. I was looking forward to this since I'd heard about the new menu. There were six of us today so we had a reservation. We sat at the tables with the bench seating. We were seated promptly with water carafes on the table. One of our member was eating vegetarian and the brand new brunch menu didn't have vegetarian options yet, but it's coming soon. So she and one other party members ordered off the original menu with no problems. We tried the kimchi fried rice, shaved Brussels chicken salad, Korean fried chicken salad, and the spring rolls with grilled pork (my fav)! All of it was great. I suggest giving this new brunch menu a try. But come by any time for their wonderful "regular" menu.

Drove out to visit after winning a gift card here, and it was an enjoyable experience! Located out in Westlake in a large shopping center, Lee's offers a straight forward menu with modern, healthy dishes and variety for everyone. Service was casual but attentive, food came out pretty fast, and everything was fresh and made to order. Overall, we enjoyed everything we tried and I look forward to revisiting to try their pho, hainan chicken, ribeye fried rice, and desserts!QUICK FACTS:- Parking? Yes, plenty of parking in a large shopping center lot.- Reservations? Not required nor necessary. Call ahead for a larger group, as the interior is cozy.- Happy hour? Yes, 3-5pm! $2 off snacks and cocktails/wine/beer.FOOD & DRINK RATINGS:- Happy Days Strawberry Lemonade (3/5): This was bright and fun but not worth $8 in my opinion. It watered down quickly and had more carbonation in it than flavor.- Thai tea (3/5): Basic and just okay. Not the best Thai tea I've had but it wasn't bad for $5.- Shrimp and pork spring rolls (5/5): These were great! Simple, made to order (we asked for no mint), and the peanut sauce was yummy. A little hard to dip since stuff would fall out, but tasty!- Fried oyster mushrooms (4/5): I love mushrooms, especially oyster mushrooms. These were good. The seasoning and crispness of them with the aioli was perfect. - DanDan noodles (2/5): Unfortunately I was so disappointed in this dish! Lacked flavor, very bland. There was only one single spice I could taste in it and it was weird. The noodles were good/perfectly cooked, and the portion was generous. But they were so boring and lacked that flavor bomb that DanDan noodles usually have. For $18 I definitely would not order again.- Shaken beef and egg fried rice (4/5): This was the complete opposite of the DanDan noodles. Incredibly tasty, the meat was very tender, and the sauce was good. Could have been thicker sauce, as it was a bit watery, but it didn't affect the flavor.

Here's a sweet find... The owners of PhoNatic opened Lee's Kitchen, an upscale Vietnamese restaurant, about 7 months ago. It's unlikely you'd stumble upon it as it's located in a quiet, far corner of the Village at Westlake mall. There's tons of parking and a Tesla supercharger station right there.Inside, the room feels like a crisp summer dress in clean blue and white colors. Very sleek and pleasing. Shockingly, we practically had the place to ourselves for a Saturday lunch. Ha! That's not going to last long. We enjoyed the espresso and the lychee martinis. We also shared a good convo with bartender Jonathan who got us all excited about his mezcal offerings. Going to have to head back for a happy hour soon.The star attraction for me was the very comforting, both savory and umami beef pho. So delicate and balanced, I felt like I could taste each ingredient. There's an area to sit outside that had also beckoned when we arrived, but I'm glad we opted for the cozy indoors.

This was a cozy little restaurant with good service and great food. The vermicelli bowl with pork was a huge portion and was very flavorful. The shaken beef was also a good portion and was very saucy. Would definitely come back here to try other dishes. Plenty of parking available.

Really cute restaurant! The pho was cured 1-2 hangovers before (LOL) -- in all seriousness, the service is great and the food is even better.
