“Love the Mongolian beef. Free appetizer coupon from instagram was nice. Had the crab wontons which were delicious. Got a side of lo mein. So good. Great service. Got a specialty cocktail. Forgot what it was called. Good but a little too sweet for me“

“From the minute we walked in everything was wonderful. Our server was friendly and beyond accommodating. As was the chef when we requested a dish not on the menu. The food was exceptional. The best Chinese food we’ve ever had in the suburbs. Definitely compares to Chinatown.“

“This place was so good! Our waitress was the best! They were able to accommodate my picky eater, and she really liked her food! We all did! We got pot stickers, crab rangoon, a won ton soup, orange chicken, general tso chicken, chicken and rice (no sauce), and sweet and sour chicken (sauce on the side). We will be back!“

“The dumplings are soooooo good. Staff was friendly and answered my questions about some of the dumplings

If it weren't so far away from where I live, I'd be here all the time. I had to take a special trip 40 minutes just to eat here, but it was worth it! I can't wait to come back.“

“Absolutely delicious! The hot and sour soup brought the heat, but didn't over power the flavor. We also had a variety of the dim sum, the best was the pot stickers. Fun atmosphere, great service“

“First time diners, very impressed, will definitely come back . Despite an unassuming storefront in a strip mall, the place was clean and the food was fresh and delicious. Ordered several Northeastern Chinese specialties - all pretty authentic. Business was brisk, which is always a good sign.“

“Family of 4 - myself and son split the All you can eat Sushi, while my husband and daughter split a couple of the Chinese entrees. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Everything we received came out fresh and delicious. Everyone left full and satisfied with their meals! I think this might be a new favorite spot. There was a lot of food we wanted to try and can't wait to come back to try more!“

“It's a bit of an older place, just vibes-wise, but it just means the food there is amazing since the chefs are so familiar with every dish they make. The waiters and waitresses, despite not speaking English as a native language, are all so kind and considerate as well! I highly recommend the Hainan chicken rice and the Vietnamese iced coffee. Also, the pricing is insanely good for the quality of food. Looking forward to going again!“

“awesome food awesome drinks awesome service five stars easy“

“First time ordering take out from here. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, beef lo mein, beef and broccoli and crab rangoons. Everything was delicious! We also got mango and watermelon smoothies. So good! We will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“I ordered from Rose's for the 1st time today. Absolutely delicious food! My ordered was delivered quickly and was piping hot I highly recommend Rose's 🌹“

“I always get the same things when I come here (beef fried rice and sometimes orange chicken), but whenever I do, the food is always delicious. It's always seasoned so well that you don't need soy sauce for the rice. I've been to plenty of Chinese food places and not a lot of them can accomplish that. 10/10 every visit.“

“I find some of the low reviews here baffling. I think some people may be confusing this restaurant with other Chinese restaurants due to its rather non descript name. Make no mistake, the food here is excellent and punches way above its price point.Coming in the first time I was pessimistic. It seemed your standard pre prepared food menu ready to dish out quickly to the lunch crowd panda express style. I quickly became a huge fan after eating large well prepared portions I would expect from a normal sit down restaurant. Yes it's your standard generic fare but made so much better.Great food, great price. Appreciate these places, the owners care about making something good.“

“Scrumptious!!! Huge portions!! Will definitely return!!“

“If I could give the service 10/5 stars I would. Not only is the food some of the best around. They are amazing in service, kindness. This is a place I’ve gone to for a good while. I can’t help but rave about them. If you want some great Chinese come here!!“

“Their barbecued pork and roast duck are my favorites. It's a pity that every time I want to buy one, I only buy half of one. It's hard to believe it's such a coincidence. A little weird. Since I can only buy half of one and it’s hard to deal with it, I won’t consider buying it now.“

“nice service, food ok, prices & portions ok“

“the scenery is fantastic and the food is so good everything is good there“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“Very good Chinese food 🍱 best in the neighborhood:)“

“Road tripping and looking for vegan food. This place has options. If you are staying by the Comfort Inn and Suites Chicago airport then take a 2minute walk over here to eat. Great food, friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Vegetarian options: Delicious vegan vegetarian options“

“For me, this is THE best Korean-Chinese spot in Chicago. Sure, there are places like Yu's Mandarin, Chef Ping, Great Sea, Great Beijing, etc but they don't focus only on Korean-chinese food like Lai Lai do, hence in my opinion, Lai Lai serves the best Jajangmyeon and Jjambbong.

Now, Jajangmyeon comes in many varieties, but most people aren't aware of the differences:

Regular Jajangmyeon: All ingredients are stir-fried, then water and starch are added, resulting in a familiar starchy texture with added sugar or salt.

Gan Jajang: Cooked with just oil, it tends to be more oily and has a stronger "fire" taste from longer stir-frying, often more salty.

Uni Jajang: Ingredients are minced, so the dish lacks visible ingredient shapes and texture but brings out most flavor.

Sam seon Jajang (precious ingredients from sky, land, and sea): Originally with expensive items like shrimp, abalone, and pork, now often substituted with squid and cheaper ingredients.

Tray Jajang: Essentially +2 portions of Sam seon Jajang without the expensive ingredients.

I mention this because in Chicago, there are very few places offering these varieties, and even fewer doing it well. No one specializes in it quite like Korea, and the closest I've found to matching Korean taste is regular Jajangmyeon from Lai Lai.

I can also go on about Jjambbong and the chicken as you see on the picture but perhaps on another review...“

“The garlic beef was delicious. I loved everything we ordered. Fried rice, chicken broccoli, sweet and sour chicken and my absolute favorite garlic beef. Prices are excellent and portions are ample. You could eat in the restaurant but that’s not what this place is all about. It’s a to-go place. They only take cash which is fine by me.

Parking: Strip mall with plenty of parking.“

“Second time ordering. The food is absolutely delicious and they deliver pretty quick. Two and a half years looking for good Chinese and I found it. Five Stars.“

“This is my favorite place for Chinese I've tried a lot of Chinese restaurants and this one is really good considering Chinese is my favorite food. The prices are reasonabe to. I like the fact that there's not a lot of salt in the food.

Parking: It's a small parking lot but no cars are never in the spaces so easy to run get your food and go. They don't have chairs and tables that's the only thing that's bad cuz I like to sit down once in a while“

“I work nearby and wanted to check this place out, it’s close enough for me to just go pick it up. Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon and Spring Rolls are all delicious! I have tried the lunch specials too all priced right , the taste and quality and quantity of the food was perfect!? ?“

“Our long time search for GOOD Chinese food is over. Everything was delicious. We are first time customers and it was amazing! We had the beef n broccoli (so much flavor!) , the BBQ pork ?, pork fried rice (I added spicy oil n red pepper flakes), and egg roles. My roommate said this is so good. We need to remember the name. Easy enough. This is our new Chinese restaurant ? ? ?“

“We ordered the dinner special last night. This includes an entree, fried rice and an egg roll. I got the shrimp kow, and my husband got mushroom egg foo young. The shrimp kow contained a generous amount of large shrimp and an assortment of veggies in a white sauce, which was highly seasoned. Bok choy, mushrooms,broccoli, peapods, water chestnuts,celery and adorably thinly sliced carrots. I loved it! My husband must have enjoyed the egg foo young...it's all gone! The dinner came in a black takeout container that was divided into two sections.Very nice. The shrimp egg rolls were huge and rolled very fancy! All the food was piping hot and ready for pick up in 15 minutes! The service when ordering and picking up was very courteous and accommodating. Prices were very reasonable!

Vegetarian options: A whole section of vegitarian options including tofu.“

“Love their panang curry chicken!“

“Food is very fresh and delicious“

“Whenever I try a new old style chinese restaurant, I get shrimp with lobster sauce and bbq pork something, like bbq pork fried rice or vegetables, etc.

Shrimp with lobster sauce is a very nostalgic food for me. It was something I tried 15~ish years ago from this small chinese restaurant near work. It was $5.45 lunch specials at the time, and I wanted to try something other than monglian beef, generals Tsao chicken etc.
And i fell in love ever since.

I love brown starch sauce that is made with, and it needs to have black beans and stripes of pork and egg. But some restaurants tend to make this with white sauce with pea and ground pork, or just not enough salt or msg.

Well, this place make it perfectly how I wanted, and less than 9 bucks. You can't beat this deal.
The only thing to critize is that chicken fried rice was not good...it was dry and maybe a day old.

Bbq pork was also really good, cut thick the way I also like it. You can taste rice oyster sauce, and vegetables were cooked well.

It definitely reminded me of the old spot that I loved and will be coming back to try more dishes.“

“I went here for dinner and took home pepper steak, shrimp fried rice and chow foon. All was delicious. Chow foon was the best Pad Thai noodles I’ve had so far. The veggies were crisp and the sauce was mild not too sweet. I would recommend coming here.“

“We have been ordering from here for several years. Food is worth the price“

“My first time going here and the food was amazing… I normally would drive to oak park to get Chinese food but since I stay literally 6 mins away from here I decided to try… food was fresh… very flavorful and I loved it… I will definitely be a returning customer Cindy customer service was great as well.. and their CHOW MEIN is the absolute best I’ve ever had everything was made fresh to order… the beef fried rice good the spicy beef was good everything was great“

“I was in area and stopped in. The nice woman at the counter suggested the General Tso Chickin. I proceeded to order the combo which came with fried rice and an egg roll.
All of which I felt was very delicious and portion size was more than I could eat in a sitting.

Thank you for the great food and conversation while I ate in your restaurant!“

“This little place is so humble but with BIG flavors. Ordered: Fried rice, with fresh vegetables .Szechwan Fish, amazing flavor. Singapore Chow Mein Fun, bold and smokey flavor that everyone has to try, amazing. These are the little places that are always exceptional. Thank you.“

“I come back. Then on the day I call to get my order that you said I could pick up when I decided to come back to get. You act like it never happened. And at some point in the conversation said that I called the wrong restaurant. China Kitchen staff I wish y'all all the best. And please try to be more truthful when dealing with your loyal customers.“

“Food is great I've ordered there a couple times already. they don't deliver to me and I'm only 3.4 miles away so I have to go through grubhub which raises the prices on the items when ordering which is terrible. Otherwise, I recommend them so far the best Asian food in Schaumburg.“

“I have ordered for years! Always happy!!! My favorite is Chicken with String Beans/no spice. Perfect!! My husband loves Shrimp and Broccoli ,never a problem!!!“

“Our Family has been going to Lucky Wok for years. Cannot say enough about how fast the team is to get you what you need and address any issues you may have with your order. So glad they are so close and so diligent with their service. Can't say I've seen this level of service since I used to go to old Orange Garden on Irving 25 years ago. Congrats on the having an amazing team.“

“I have been ordering from Leus for 15 years now. I realized today that I have never reviewed and wow, do they deserve it. The owners are the absolute sweetest and most gracious couple. Their selection- from their orange chicken, chicken sticks, to their sushi rolls, to my favorite staple of fried rice and egg rolls, ALL of it is unmatched. Seriously, I could eat just their egg rolls and be thrilled. I order from them every single time I am in the area. They are the only place I have no doubt whatever I try, it will be super tasty and be made with love.

Sometimes waits are longer, so it’s good to order ahead — but believe me, be patient, they are worth it!!!“

“The food here is sensational. I ordered the orange chicken and it was around $8. That is an incredible price. My mouth was watering before I had my first bite. The food was so good I had to edge and I could barely control my urges. I 100% recommend and I will be coming back:)“

“Classic cozy Asian buffet. Crabs offered on Sunday so the whole place is packed. Had a wait time of at least about 20-30 minutes. New crabs came out about 52 minutes after the tray was set. Food was okay for buffet quality. Fair diversity in selection of food. I only go with my parents since it is one of their favorite buffets for the crabs and price. Price was just around 20 per adult before tax. Drinks, other than water, cost extra and you have to ask staff for a refill.“
