Lei

Lei is a wine bar in New York that serves Chinese food and wine together. The menu includes Wuxi-style short rib, fried squash, cocktails, and sticky toffee rice pudding, with Chinese dishes given a modern treatment. Walk-ins on a Friday night have waited three hours on the waitlist, and walk-ins are sometimes taken only when a reservation is booked 30 minutes later. The interior is small and the portions are on the smaller side.
