If you're looking for a clean Chinese buffet in the Branson area, this is your best option. The restaurant is clean and the service is consistently good. Food is added to the buffet regularly, in small enough portions to prevent running out or items going bad. They are never too busy and servers are attentive. I recommend a visit to... More

good value for the price paid. Lots of choices, it's clean..you might want to go close to the busiest time to avoid food that's been sitting a while, as with any buffet.

This is a great little place to eat. It is VERY clean and the food is yummy. The selection is good and everything seems fresh. You can get the buffet to-go as well and pay by the pound, which is a great option if you're on the go. Compared to other Chinese buffets in the area, it's a great value... More

Now here is a place to visit. Buffet looks small but really it is fine as all the choices are fresh out of the kitchen, fresh everything, all the time. The atmosphere is clean and fresh. Price is low for what you get. Will go there again and again. Very pleasant hub/wife owners.

The food and service are consistently good. I wish the restaurant had poached salmon and sushi in the buffet, but it is worth going here for good Chinese food, if you're in the Hollister Missouri area.

My dad and I tried it out while he was up here for a visit. It was my first visit as well. The buffet was not that elaborate, the selection was limited and the taste was bland at best. sorry

My husband loves this place because it has the cheesy shrimp he likes. The rest of the food is good just a really small selection and the service has always been good, the servers are all young and they do a good job!

I ate at Lai Lai's for my first time yesterday. The food was very good. I agree with Kelly R's post. The food was fresh, and full of flavor, and that's what I like. I will go back, and bring the rest of the family with me.
