Lai's Restaurant - Wawa

What a disappointment. First, although the pandemic is (I hope long behind us, Lai's former dining room is vacant. This restaurant is takeout-only. The person who took my order at the counter was barely pleasant and also not helpful. I asked which dishes had a lot of vegetables; she pointed to one with three kinds of meat. There is a section of vegetarian dishes, but none have tofu. So I guessed Chicken Vegetable with Almond. That turned out to be a good guess. The dish had lots of crispy veggies. That's the good part. The dish was bland. I tried the two packets of soy sauce. Then I discovered that the bottom of the container was covered with a layer of broth-like liquid that diluted the soy sauce so much it added no flavor. I've never seen Chinese food like Almond Chicken in a broth. (Maybe the Independent supermarket on the highway has frozen food with veggies that you could heat up in a camp stove or in your motel room? I didn't check.

Absolutely the best chinese food I ever eaten. The staff was very nice. Everyone should try the fried rice just to be absolutely astonished. IT WAS SO GOOD. I would run, run from far away to come eat here.

Food is very good. Take out only, so can’t comment on the atmosphere. Food is fresh and tasty and I recommend it especially if you are on a long trip, like we were. Waiting time is about average for a Chinese restaurant, so I recommend calling ahead.

Absolutely the worst Chinese food I ever eaten ...gotta be new owners as I eat here 3 times a year . Everyone should try the fried rice just to be grossed out ..friendly service
