Ordered Drunken noodles, Basil fried rice and Red curry. Handles down it's one of the best in Charlotte. They even helped me out by customizing the food to be Vegan. Would definitely visit it again.
March 2025
Ray Lai is hands down the best Asian spot in Charlotte. Their food is unreal. everything’s fresh, flavorful, and cooked amazingly. I’ve been to a lot of places, but their sesame chicken and sushi stand out to me. The way they style the plate is exiting. Portions are more than enough, prices are fair, and the service? On point. They know how to take care of you. If you’re in the area and not hitting up Ray Lai, you are missing out.
