En Lai Chinese Kitchen

In the mood for some Chinese food one night and though we'd try something new. Same menu as others but portions and flavor are opposites. Lo mein was flavorless, as was the crab Rangoon. BBQ spare ribs and fried rice were really the only things we thought were good. Sadly I have yet to find a good place for Chinese food in town. Depressing.

Best general tso in town

I stopped in to the En Lai for some take out.  When I walked through the door I was grossed out by the decor and how extremely dirty the place was.  If the lobby is filthy then I can only imagine how the kitchen is kept.  This place is in desperate need of a remodel and an update.  It is not an appealing place you would want to go.  All the fixtures were covered in an inch dirt and had not been cleaned in what looks like years.  The fans and lights above where people eat have a mountain of dust and dirt looking like it could fall into your food any moment.  It was almost closing time or I would have just walked back out the door and went somewhere else.  Well enough about the depressing and dirty lobby.  

The food itself was the traditional Chinese buffet and take out food.  It was average at best.  The portions are quite large and the price was good.  It was nothing special by any means and I recommend going somewhere else.  Its hard to go into detail about the food because the look of the place just dominated my experience and opinion.  It just looks like they don't care.  They had a lot of employees working and were not very busy so you would think they would see the place was kept clean.
