Lei's Kitchen — Restaurant in Sacramento

I've been coming here for years. The owner knows me and quickly takes my order as it doesn't vary much from some of her best combinations. Knowing how to order might help some with their first time. For instance, don't order something heavy in oils with Chow Mein noodles, then complain of it being a heavy dish. Try it with white rice first. Her Mongolian chicken, ordered spicy with green beans instead of onions is to die for. The white rice goes well with that. If you're ready for a burger, try a jalapeno cheese burger (I'd ask for no lettuce/mayo) with some garlic fries. Her pot stickers are artfully fried and come with a sauce she's been refining since I've been coming there back in 2015. This is not a franchise restaurant, the food shows. Moreover the lady running the place has expressed more generosity than I've seen from some local businesses owners and makes a sincere connection with her customers. You can't put a price on an honest connection. *Pictured below is the Mongolian chicken (spicy /no onions, with green beans), the salad, and her pot stickers. I would try that...

There was only one person working when we arrived. She was friendly and helpful enough but, strained to keep up with providing adequate service for everyone. Burger and fries were good. Bento box salad was good as was the Mongolian Chicken. They are not afraid to put some heat in the General Chicken. The won ton soup and potstickers were not bad. Chow mein was so so. Fried rice was really bad. Number of stars in each category in order of weight: Cleanliness:3 Food:3 Service:2 Friendliness:4 Price:4 Atmosphere:2 Decor:2 Restrooms: External...

We were greeted by a nice lady at the counter but I guess she was the only one cooking so it went a little slow and I guess you was the only one working but she got to us finally the burger and fries were pretty tasty and we order some Chinese food but it wasn't so great the fried rice we had was a little stale and the rest of it was just okay say the least and what I make a trip back probably not it's a very busy area and no parking unless you want to pay and I'm not that close to town oh well better...
