What Ian F likes about Lai Lai Restaurant:
If you grew up with neighborhood Chinese food in NorCal like I did, this place is *exactly* what you're looking for. The model airplanes everywhere are nice, too. Double Rainbow ice cream rounds out the excellent vibe. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, accessible doorway and wide aisles. Didn't go into the bathroom. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner View all feedback. What Natashka J doesn't like about Lai Lai Restaurant:
The service and Crab Rangoons were great. The sweet/sour pork and calamari is why I won’t return. Maybe I came on a bad day, or the reviews are from people who have similar taste buds to my clients husband who recommended it. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 5 View all feedback.

It's the best mandarin food I ever had. The service is excellent and the owners always feel at home. Can't wait to get back to the north so we can eat there.

Since I was a kid. Always treated like family when you're here. Price good for the amount of food you get. A true Millbrae gem.

The best Mongolian beef EVER. Sizzling rice soup and Walnut Prawns were also amazing! Loves this place, food and service!
