I wanted to try this place after a few people recommended it to me. I usually go to another Chinese restaurant, but its nearly 30 minutes away from me and I wanted something closer. So, I tried this place. When I arrived, there were no other customers in there, but I proceeded to order anyway. There are no prices on the menus so I had to open a flyer up to see what they sold and how much everything was priced for. I saw a Pork or Chicken Egg Foo Young lunch special for $4.99. I asked for Shrimp Egg Foo Young instead with Shrimp fried rice. It was after lunch, so they added a $1 to my order. This is sorta pricey to me being that you only received rice with whatever lunch entree you order. There is no egg roll or soda. You must pay extra for those items. Ive never been charged for an egg roll when I order a special at other Chinese spots. That was $5.99 + tax for only 2 patties and some rice. Whats special about this order? So, that was strike 1. I get my order and take it with me not bothering to look at it. Once I got a chance to open it, I noticed there was no shrimp in my shrimp fried rice, only onions. Strike 2! Tried the Egg Foo Young patties and poured the gravy on top. The patties were greasy and the gravy was salty. Strike 3! The food could have been better. The taste wasnt completely bad, but those things really turned me off to this restaurant on my first visit. Ive had better food. I dont think I will be back.

Used to love this place until I found three bugs on my broccoli. When I complained they offered to make a new one the next day. Of course I didnt want it the next day after that experience. I ordered another entree two weeks later. First of all, they gave me a smaller size than what I paid for. Secondly, the shrimp was not clean. I will not be eating here anymore!!!

We have been ordering En Lai for almost 20 years, the food is always excellent, delivered on time or early. The portions are large - enough for 1 extra meal for each order for us. The prices are competitive. Have occasionally ordered from other restaurants, but are always disappointed. Have never been disappointed from this En Lai restaurant! Great food!

I been here a few times. I had good and bad experiences with them. The last time, the pea pods were amazing. Another time, I bought both fried and steamed pot stickers, the fried ones were burnt and the meat was crunchy (like egg shells crunchy), but the steamed ones were great! The service is very friendly and just all around kind.

This place is great. Food is tasty and priced right. Hearty portions of food and good selection. It has a decent little self serve dining area with tables and chairs. Delivery is fast!! It may not be fine dining but it has been good every time Ive been here for 10+ years.

Love their Orange Chicken and fried rice! Their orange chicken isnt like other Chinese restaurants where it tastes like they just put sweet-n-sour sauce on fried chicken.

Could be better. Customer service was good and fast but the food isnt the best. The wonton soup tasted plain and the shrimp fried rice was hard.
