Plus ASSI got tons of Asian Ready hot/cold foods to go and you can eat at their food court. 🥰, Love the Spicy Noodles i ordered its...read full review
The food is good but make sure to check your bag I tipped and asked her did she put soy sauce in the bag and she said yes knowing she didn’t and I have a large shrimp fried rice for little ones and no sauce ugh I’m more mad at the lie if it was a accident then ok but for me ask and tip and not get what I asked for is a slap in the face!
Best Korean Chinese food in Chicago! A hidden gem!

Lai Lai is a popular Korean-Chinese restaurant known for its flavorful dishes and generous portions. Customers often praise the shrimp fried rice for its great taste and abundance of shrimp. The orange chicken is highlighted as nearly perfect, being crispy and well-sauced, while the honey shrimp has good flavor, although some found its texture a bit hard due to over-battering or double-frying.
The gun poong chicken stands out for its crispy drumsticks coated in spicy sauce, making it a favorite among regulars. Additionally, Lai Lai specializes in Jajangmyeon, a dish that comes in various styles, each offering a unique taste. Many believe Lai Lai serves the best Jajangmyeon in Chicago, with some recommending the regular version for its authentic flavor.
Despite some service hiccups, such as missing condiments, the restaurant is generally well-regarded for its friendly service and tasty food. Overall, Lai Lai is considered a solid choice for anyone craving Korean-Chinese cuisine, making it a go-to spot for takeout in Chicago.
