Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

My husband is Chinese American, I used to live in Asia, and we are fairly discriminating when it comes to Chinese food. Lai Lai passed our test. First let me say what it is not. It is not gloppy. The spicy pork hops were spicy and crispy. The Chinese broccoli was fresh and crisp. We like it. Hope you do too.

They should rename their restaurant to the "New Lai Lai" since they are not affiliated with the previous lai lai. This can also help filter out all the poor comments left for the previous owner. For the longest time, I've avoided this place though it's in a good location (opposite meijier, rave motion, ample free parking). I mean.. Who would go to a restaurant with only 2/5 stars. Just like many of you, when I heard that the former great Lakes chef happen to be working in lai lai, I had to give them a chance. It is then I learnt that the place in under a new management. It felt so nostalgic when I was given a free bowl of boiled soup. I miss great Lakes soups. For those who are new to lai lai and great Lakes, it's a great restaurant. They serve both Chinese and American Chinese menu. I don't think they have dim sum tho.

Someone told me that Lai Lai was under new management and the new owners were the former Great Lakes chef... did I run out of the house to go eat? No!! As time passed, read an article on annarbor.com , the profile reconfirmed the new ownership... did I run out of the house to go eat? No. I decided to wait, since a group of friends were going to meet up at Lai Lai for dinner... and waiting for the day to arrive was killing me. Now, just a little background... I loved Great Lakes... back in college days, my buddies and I went to Great Lakes 2x to 3x a week... and when I heard they closed, it was a sad day... so I was beyond happy to hear that Lai Lai was under new management and that the new owners were former Great Lakes chef! The menus were similar or same to the old menu from Great Lakes - they have to menus... depending on your race, they will either give you the American menu or Chinese menu... ask for the Chinese menu if you don't get one. We ordered the following from the Chinese menu - Shrimp Ball Dumplings - Pan Fried Dumplings - Eggplant with pork hot pot (casserole) - salty fish with chicken and tofu hot pout - green string beans with pork - beef chow fun - morning glory (veggie dish) - honey glazed shrimp As I dived into the dishes, old memories started flashing... I missed the food so much, it an honor to once again be able to enjoy them! With each bite of food, I was in heaven. Now, I kept the rating to 4 stars because the service is slow.... so don't go here expecting quick service... they have two waitress and the host and all three work the tables... when we got there it was busy and we had to ask five times to the tea to get the tea.... so don't be surprised if there's gap between first dish and when the next dish will arrive. Overall, if you were a former fan of great lakes, then this place is a must place to visit. I know I'll be back to try other dishes that I have missed. I'm happy to see this place under new management and doing so well. I'll be back for sure.

The food was very good and we were enjoying our lunch until a cockroach climbed on my back. We will never go back there again!

I came in for a late Sunday lunch so the place was very quiet. The service was warm and welcoming. The lunch specials looked perfect but were not available on Sunday so I ordered the vegetable lo mein and asked if they would make it spicy for me. it was quick, hot and perfect. Great stop for a neighborhood restaurant.
