Laiwah Chinese restaurant

We've been buying here for 30 years, but last year and then this week will be our last times. Sesame chicken dried out and hard with little sauce, sour soup was thick with a strange aftertaste, fried rice marginal. Time to go elsewhere.

Everything missed.

The wontons look like a spoon full of cream cheese and just twisted in the middle by some type of thumb and pointer finger grab and twist. Photo attached to show what I received. Looking back at older reviews they look like you'd expect. Weird short cuts like that are also reflected in the taste of the food. The fried rice lacks flavor and the lomein noodles are angel hair. The chicken has a weird consistency. What is going on?!

Also attached a photo of the inside of the wonton which separated oddly and was not creamy. This place is probably due for an audit.

Only 2 tables, but that's OK, cause nobody there. My happy family was sad and like brown water. Very salty, very chewy. Ordered fried rice, but they said I can't have it. I said it's ok, $1 extra. I got white rice. I need water quick!

beautiful food and it was the best chinese food ive ever had.

I ordered chicken lomein, wonton soup and egg rolls. I was shocked when I went to pick it up and it was $31.00! The "lomein" was angel hair pasta. The soup tasted like dirty water and was $12.00! And the egg rolls were all crunch and not much filling. I will never order from here again. East China was closed today so I tried this place. I'll stay with East China...they are reasonably priced and great food. Laiwah was just awful.

Prices are too high. Quality has been going downhill for a while. As much as I hate to walk away from a locally owned business I won't be back until prices come down.

Portion sizes were tiny, wontons were hard, chicken was below average. If you want good Chinese in Apple Valley go to Egg Roll King.

Just no. This is low effort even by my lazy standards. One could obtain similar results with a microwave.

The food here is really good! I had the general Toso chickan :)

Best in Apple Valley. Have loved this place since the 1980s. Lo Mein noodles are better than you have had anywhere else.

I will start this by saying I remember when they used to be called Little Walk and then changed to Lai Wah. I grew up in the area and the food was always good and a good deal for the price. As I read the reviews now, it makes me sad because it is not the Lai Wai I grew up with. The original owners sold the restaurant to one of their chefs and everything changed. I can't remember if it was Lai or Wah that died shortly before the sale, but the new owners are a far cry from what the place used to be.

Overall, good menu options and good food.

i ordered chow mein expecting noodles and i was given chicken and celery in a pool sauce with a package of crispy chow mein snack pieces. and on the website it says the meal is $8.75 when in actuality it is $11.50, $12.32 with tax. the wontons were also overcooked and chicken was bland, not even a trace of salt at the minimum. i would give negative stars if i could.

Mediocre, I’m sorry to say needs improvement. We’ve gotten take out 5-6 times, just not worth it. I will not order from here again.
