I ordered general tso's combo plate, and a roast pork yat gaw mein soup. The soup was soo good! My son had the general tso's chicken, and he said it was very good. The egg rolls were delicious! Delivery was a little late, but everyone was very nice, and the food was great!

Very poor customer service. Waited a long time for my order. The guy at the counter was rude.

ZERO STARS!!I have ordered from En Lai Chinese Kitchen for 35 years. It used to be a mom and pop operation, but has changed in recent years. The quality of the food has deteriorated. The service which had been excellent is now disrespectful and sloppy. They rarely get the deliveries correct, and when faced with their mistakes are unapologetic and uncaring. Buy your food somewhere else!

En Lai is your typical small Chinese fast food restaurant that does not have seating to eat in. They excel at some dishes while others are okay. Love their beef/chicken with broccoli. Their barbecue spare ribs could be more meaty, tender and sauced so I go with the boneless ribs instead. They are very busy during meal times with a steady rush of customers. It's best to plan and call ahead for delivery or takeout during peak dinner and lunch times. They have the standard two woks for cooking main dishes and one wok for frying rice. They can be heavy handed or inconsistent with seasoning some dishes but you can ask them to adjust for low sodium or less seasoning. The place looks run down but their food is good and seems to be prepared in a sanitary way.

Typical Chinese restaurant. Highly recommend their steamed dumplings and scallion pancakes. Their home made ice tea is very good but too sweet so I dilute it. Their ingredients are fresh and if you ask for $1-2 extra shrimp it’s really extra on your fried rice.

If I could give zero stars I would. Omg WORSE WORSE WORSE WORSE Chinese restaurant in the city of Yonkers!!! I'm being very honest. And to make matters worse they are the most expensive too. My order total was $65 and when I asked if they have some sort of deal if you spend over a certain amount and he said I'll give you 2 can soda. The food was disgusting!! The chicken and broccoli was whiter than snow and no sauce. The steamed dumplings were stale and fried rice was hard.Save your time, money and appetite and go to either Panda Chinese restaurant on Yonkers ave or Empire Wok on McLean. Their food is really good and they give you a good deal if you spend a certain Amt. Empire Wok especially they have the family Pak meal. from one customer to the next PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY At En Lai!** Update- found rat shit on my chicken wing. Omg I tossed everything out! I will call the health department to file a complaint.
Chicken wings and Chicken dumpling is very good and freshly made.We come back to try other dishes

Really tasty Chinese food. The pork fried rice and the four seasons are my 2 favorite dishes. Service is a bit slow but at least the food is good. Tried other Chinese restaurants in Yonkers but not is as good as this one.

I have been consistently buying at this place for the past 2 weeks and noticed the guy at the counter is manipulative and petty. He charged me the price of a usual order of shrimp and beans and gave a small amount of white rice. I know the portions of food here is usually big and was disappointed with the small portion of food. I told him that I wanted the lunch special but he argued, saying that I pointed at the flip side of the menu and that side of the menu is not 'lunch special' when it was clearly lunch time. I mean you serve and charge lunch special during lunch time, that's the logic. He did not offer to reduce/refund the amount paid. Money minded and seriously not good customer service. Please go elsewhere if possible.
