Lai Lai Chinese Restaurant

This place was once a great place to go for Chinese food. Those days are gone.
The $ 8.99 buffet is filled with stale food, hard white rice, and the containers with soup and sweet/​sour sauce are filled, not replaced, when empty. The utensils in the buffet area all have stains.
The fried chicken was hard. The breaded chicken was 80% breading. It had so much breading, some of it was still gooey inside.
The iced tea had many particles floating in it.
It is sad to say this place has lost it’s luster.

Came here because of the good reviews… The buffet looked like it was a day old. The lady working here was rude and didn’t provide ANY customer service whatsoever. She kept walking away from us and never came to check on us or give us the bill. When we put our cards to pay she stuck her hand out telling us to give it to her rude as ever though. The food was HORRID and overpriced. This is NOT good chinese food AT ALL. Its a pile of SLOP. don’t go here. We should have saved our money and ate at McDonald’s or somewhere else.

While the outside looks pretty rundown (and the inside is a little outdated) the food here was good. I enjoyed a lunch buffet that was a bit overpriced at $ 8.99 and a $ 2.00 coke. A $ 12 lunch is a tad high for this venue, especially since the service was decent, but nothing to get to excited over. Price and service is why this isn’t a 4 star place. I’ve had better buffets for a lot lower price with the drink included.
Overall, it is Douglas and the only Chinese place around. I will return because like I said, the food wasn’t half bad. I didn’t order off of the menu so I can’t judge that. A few improvements may be in order but overall its a nice little place that I will frequent when in the area and am craving chinese.

Solid neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Good thing too, as it’s the only one in Douglas. Mostly your basic Chinese dishes, generally things seemed fresh. Service is accomodating and prompt. Some alcoholic drinks on the menu as well, if you’re in the mood. I’ve been here a few times, and I’ll be back I’m sure.

Came to Douglas from Tucson to visit a friend. Much to my amazement, I found Lai Lai. It was 8:10pm when I got there and even though they closed at 8:30, the owner Marie let my buddy and I still dine in. The food was amazing. Fresh vegetables, and the meat was delicious. After my meal Marie sat down and chatted with us for a good 45 minutes. Best chineese food I’ve had in the state. I highly recommend the mongolian beef and kung pow chicken. Steamed dumplings were great too. I will definatley be making special trips to Douglas for this great restaurant.

I use to live in Douglas, AZ small little town, LAI LAI Chinese Restaurant is the best Chinese resturants in the area they have really good dishes such as the Lo Mein, Mongolian Beef, Egg Roll, Sesame Chicken, and many more. They have a good variety of lunch buffet items and at night they have order in dishes THEY DONT HAVE BUFFET AT NIGHT, but when u order the menu items they are priced at a reasonable price and they definitely give a very good quanty so its a very good deal. i really miss lai lai and AZ i havent found a chinese resturant like LAI LAI in LA yet, which is kinda sad since LA is such a big city … oh one more thing, they sell alcohol so… :-)
