When I say the freshest, tastiest, homemade Chinese Cuisine I've ever had. Walking around the area, I looked up & seen a bright light that read Sushi Bar and happy that I walked in. 45 minutes before closing but that didn't dim their politeness and professionalism. I was the only patron & was very well taken care of. Even the green tea was fresh and soothing. Affordable pricing Delicious fresh sushi Hearty soup & Attentive serving A must go!!

My family has been going here since they came to America from Vietnam. The nostalgia and food here always reminded me of good memories and the quality has never wavered. The bad reviews on here really think they are doing something but instead they’re just tearing down a small family owned business. I hope they don’t take them to heart. The staff here are always the best. Will always love this place.

Lai Lai Restaurant exceeded our expectations! We’ve been living in Orlando for 5 years, and this was our first time dining here. We started with the fried wontons, which were absolutely delicious, crispy and packed with flavor. For our main dishes, we had the pepper steak with fried rice and the chicken lo mein, and both were excellent. The flavors were spot-on, and everything was cooked perfectly. On top of that, the service was amazing, attentive, friendly, and fast. We’re definitely coming back and highly recommend this place!

NO BUFFET! Please note there are OLD PHOTOS on Google showing photos from years ago when Lai-Lai used to have a buffet. Since the pandemic sadly, they have not been able to re-open their buffet - and DO NOT PLAN TO OPEN IT IN THE FUTURE. They still have the empty buffet tables in the restaurant (as they are very large units and have not been removed yet) - so if you dine in - you didn't miss the buffet - they do not serve the buffet anymore. I've noticed a few reviews mentioning the buffet so I don't want anyone else to come to Lai-Lai under false pretenses expecting to eat at a buffet. Also - Google shows 'all you can eat' and I do not see anywhere to suggest an edit for that - so be aware - it is NOT all you can eat, as the buffet is no longer in existence. IF you want delicious, authentic Asian Cuisine and incredibly fresh, delicious tasting Sushi - this is your place! We've been eating here since 2002 (when we found the restaurant) and have been eating here faithfully monthly all that time. The restaurant is family owned and they treat you like family. I once sat at the sushi bar next to a man telling one of the owners that he lived in Japan when his dad was stationed there in the service and he said that Lai-Lai's sushi is the same as the quality they serve in Japan at the best sushi restaurants. I haven't been to Japan but I know Lai-Lai's sushi blows away other restaurants. They don't cover their sushi in heavy overdone sauces, they season the fish lovingly with wasabi, lemon, etc. - to bring out the true flavor of the fresh fish. The atmosphere is always clean and quiet. It's a perfect place for a large family party or date night. NOTE: Make sure to CALL them first before stopping out to make sure they are open as they have been hosting a lot of private parties. I assure you though - they are well worth the trip! Try them! You won't be disappointed.

Delicious! The sushi was really good. My family loved their orders as well. We went on a Sunday and were the only people there which was weird but then realized it was only 3pm so we beat the rush lol but the service, staff, food quality and cleanliness I give 5 stars!
