    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.

    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.

    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!

    Very inexpensive, good food. Now it's not a high end meal, it's a buffet, but I was very happy.

    It was a dreary Friday night and Chinese food from one of our long time favs seemed in order. We…read morewere seated by the huge fish tanks which we love and greeted by our friendly waitress. She brought us a pot of tea and some hot sake that was kept warm in a tea pot filled with warm water which was really great. She also brought a beer that we had to open and pour which seemed odd since they have a full bar. I started with some hot and sour soup that arrived lukewarm at best. The flavor was good with just the right amount of heat but it definitely needed to be warmer. Our main entrees were the shrimp, chicken & scallops with garlic sauce and vegetables; the eggplant and shrimp; and the healthy steamed chicken with broccoli. It really pains me to say this but all three dishes were not served hot and the sauces were really not heated through and the flavors were so disappointing - nothing like the Chen's we knew and loved. The veggies in the first dish were raw and hard peppers and onions and carrots and the broccoli was very raw and barely even heated in the healthy chicken dish. The shrimp were very good and the eggplant was tasty. Maybe there is a new chef or this was just an off night. Very disappointing meal, we are sorry to say.

    My new go to Chinese place since moving out this way. Very cool restaurant, delicious food and good…read moreportions and a nice lively staff. Would say the best Chinese spot in the cranberry area for sit down.
