The egg drop and sour and spicy soup were fantastic! However, the main dish, pepper beef from the lunch menu, was not as impressive. The meat was stringy and didn’t meet expectations.

Food and service were good. The Lunch menu was simple and decently priced, but the lunch portion was a little small.

First time here. Got mine to go. Great service. Crab wontons could have used more filling but were tasty.

We ordered Shrimp with egg and cilantro, Mala Squid and basil eggplants at LaiLai and it's very tasty. They don't use MSG so you won't come home thirsty which we appreciate. The chef uses spices to give that flavorful taste. The service is always attentive....Read More

I've eaten there twice. Each visit they were very clean, the food was high quality, flavorful, and not greasy. The Szeuchian and Mongolian Beef plates were both very.

Dine inDinner$20–30I'm not supposed to have too many carbs. The Szeuchian beef without the egg rolls & rice would be low carb.

Wonderfully authentic food-the Thai Curry Shrimp is wonderful! And we also love the Kung Pao dishes-eggs rolls and dumplings are great too!

The fried rice was was very nasty. I hate what they called fried rice now. All that it was was literally white rice with a tiny bit of soy sauce salt and pepper and egg. They didn’t put no onion or veggie in it. I...Read More

Mrs Lisa has always been friendly and the food at Lai Lais is some of my favorite Chinese cuisine in town. The schezuan chicken dish is a personal favorite. Restaurant is unassuming and they serve some authentic dishes.
