an empty restaurant with tables and booths
Rick N.

At first glance of the exterior you know it's going to either suck or be amazing. Glad to report it was absolutely the best Chinese food I've had in years. I always compare all Chinese buffets or take out places to NYC and this is the first restaurant in 20 years that I can say compares! Buffet was refreshed at least 4 times while we were seated. Everything was made in small batches and nothing sat for long. Absolutely loved every single thing I tried as did everyone else at the table. Can't recommend this place enough! Don't walk, run to En Lai and enjoy all the flavorful dishes they have to offer!

Bugs in my food

I hope you like bugs, DO NOT EAT here. Others have warned of the bugs in the dining area. I recently found a bug in my food. It appeared to be what looked like a sweat bee. I wasted my money and it was take out so I know they will not refund me. You could not pay me to eat here again. Save your money and your stomachs.

Vegetarian options

The lunch buffet was affordable and even came with refillable drinks. The dining area was clean, quiet, and there was a lot of seating available. There were many vegetarian options including vegetable egg rolls, lo mein, and fried rice. The food was flavorful and enjoyable.

Chicken Balls, Egg Rolls

I do have a weakness for Chinese buffets, and En Lai isn't the biggest or best, but the food is good. It's clean, with a buffet that is on the smaller side - two islands for entrees and fried foods, one island for fruit and desserts with ice cream and soup. The food is hot, fresh and tasty, and servers keep a close eye on it, but as at most Chinese buffet/restaurants the dishes are always better off the menu.

Beef and broccoli!

See all

Not authentic. Tastes like microwave food. Bummer because the owner is super sweet. Nice little place as well. Food thumbs down.

I ordered the chicken and broccoli with egg drop soup for delivery. My order came in the time they quoted. The food was great and fresh!
