I went to Lai Lai Wok with 3 other people, and we all woke up the next morning with FOODPOISONING. Do not eat here unless you want your day to be ruined.

One of the better chines options on campus. I like their beef with broccoli and chow fun. When I feel sick or stressed, an order of chow fun and wonton soup is my feel-better food. One thing I don’t like but completely understand is that they give people different menus based on if you speak chinese or not.

This is one of my Favorite places to eat as you can do so very healthy. They will steam your food, and it is pretty cheap and taste good. Downside: They will charge you a Credit card fee under $ 10, the restaurant cleanliness is C grade. You have to get your own water or tea, and they prefer you clean your own tables. So no worries about tipping.

Good Chinese restaurant. I order only from the«authentic»(Chinese) menu. I like the soup and fish dishes here. Portions are generous. You’re supposed to get your own water, utensils, etc and clean up the table when you’re done. Therefore, tipping really is optional here.

Restaurant review This place has slowly grown on me since my last visit. It is not a nice chinese restaurant by any means. Old furniture that belongs in the 80s, but if you are asian and understand home cooking this place will remind you of a home cook meal from home. Many of the dishes are nothing special and could be prepared at home, however students usually don’t know how to cook or it is simply faster to come here for dinner. You either order at the desk or sit down and wait for the waitress to take your order. I ended up selecting the pork chop rice which I was surprised came with a egg and dice pork along with the fried pork. The size of the dish was very filling with ample rice. You also can get free tea from the machine. My wife had the salted fish/chicken with rice. A bit on the salty side, but still the chunks of fish were fried with the right crunch. Overall the portions are large and you can get a taste of home cooking with dishes not found in many asian restaurants. Pros: home style asian food, relatively inexpensive, no need to tip as you bus your own tray after eating, free hot tea Cons: the inside decoration and furniture is very dated, confusing menu for non-chinese guest Hidden deals: Daily special written on the board
