My lovely wife and I were visiting Edgewater on a very rainy Saturday. When the steady drizzle turned into a downpour, we thought it would be a good idea to go for an early lunch. We decided to check out En Lai Asian Grill on Broadway. It supposedly opens at 11AM, but when we tugged on the door it was still locked. Seconds later the proprietor came to open the door, and we sat at the window table so that we could watch passersby battling the elements. We practically had the restaurant all to ourselves during this early lunch slot, and that was fine with us. We were pleased that they offer lunch specials, and they are good on a Saturday as well. Each lunch special comes with a can of soda. I went with a plate of beef lo mein, certainly a decent sized portion for lunch that satisfied my craving for noodles. My love enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken, which comes with fried or white rice. It was nice that the sauce was served separately in the bowl (with a few chucks of pineapple) so that they do not soak the breaded pieces of chicken. I wouldn't say En Lai is a destination restaurant, but the food is pretty decent and our total bill including tax was under $20 for our two lunch specials - not too shabby. Now about that rain...

Great value - the food is nothing super unique and although they had "hot and spicy" tagged to a variety of dishes, I found it to be quite un-spicy. For example, I got kung pao chicken and there was one red chili pepper in it. The flavors were good, but rather Americanized Chinese food.The lunch special offers great value though - pair some dish with fried rice for basically $10 feels like what so many places had like 10 years ago.

Good only okay Asian food. It's far from the best but it's not bad though. En Lai is a pretty Americanized Asian restaurant in Edgewater. Has quite a few classics as well as modern. This has pretty okay prices. Came here for a lunch and wanted Chinese. It's not that big inside but it wasn't busy when we came in. There's many people who order takeout. Helps it not be as crowded. It's about $12 for an entree. I got the General Tso's Tofu. This is a typical version. Hot sauce. The tofu was crispy and not tough. Basically it's okay for Asian. It's better than it looks. The prices are pretty affordable for big portions and there's plenty for vegetarians.

We love this place!Great fast and fresh food that we enjoy often. I really don't agree with the rating it should be a solid point higher. I enjoy the egg rolls, lo mein, orange chicken and curry chicken.

I've gotten takeout from here twice now. I'd say it's pretty quality, although from going inside to pickup, all the tables are deserted and the lighting is pretty dim so it's kinda weird vibes. However, the food was great. The fried rice and crab rangoons were tasty! I loved the string bean chicken, and the General Tsos was also really good -- it had broccoli in it which was unusual but a nice addition. In general I would say it's always been hot and fresh, but some pieces of meat and veggies could've been better cooked.

Decided to give this place a chance. My first time having their food. I found them thru Uber Eats and it's close to my apartment. I order Curry Fried Rice with Beef, 2 Egg Rolls, and Coke. The menu was easy to read I had no problem placing my order. I didn't excepted to be so much good I have leftovers for the next couple days. The Curry Fried Rice was good. Not too spicy just a right amount. With Pineapples, Peas, and Carrots. Instead of white rice I substitute with Brown Rice. The Egg Rolls was good. Extra crispy how I like it. The next time I'm craving Curry I will come to the restaurant with my boyfriend.

En Lai is our neighborhood Chinese takeout go-to. Of all the Chinese delivery restaurants in the Andersonville/Edgewater area, we've always liked it the best. Dishes here taste a bit fresher and of higher quality than some of the other options in the area. While I know it isn't the very best Chinese takeout I've ever had, it's the best within our delivery area by quite a lot.Our go-to's are the basics, but they are always done right: pot stickers, sesame chicken, combination lo-mein, beef fried rice, beef with string beans, orange chicken...They typically deliver pretty quickly as well. Every once it a while, it will take the full-quoted time, but more often than not, they are quick.Thankful they are in the neighborhood!

Delicious. It was such a beautiful day that we walked from our place to Whole Foods. On the way there we saw this place and checked out the menu and decided to order. Sooo good! We went light probably because we had just spent the afternoon buying groceries and new we had a ton of food at home. Picked up salt and pepper tofu and beef chow meln. Both containers contained hearty portions of delicious food. The tofu was super tasty! This may become our go to place nearby right in our hood! Sorry...no pics. We were ravenous when we got home and ate ASAP. Next time...I promise.
