On a cold, rainy night, I found this place. It wasn’t crowded but customers came in to pickup their take out orders. My server was excellent and attentive. The Sweet Tea was favorable without the sugar over taking the taste. The dish I had, I loved it. Long strands of egg. Something I haven’t seen since I was a kid. The flavor was so good, I took some home!!

Pretty solid place for Asian food! They serve both lunch and dinner portions during lunch, so I’m assuming you can get either portion size during dinner too. We went at an off hour so the place wasn’t too busy. Our server was attentive and the food came out fairly quickly. I got the sesame chicken lunch portion – tasted great, perfectly portioned, and very fairly priced! If you’re in the area and craving dine in/takeout Asian food, this is the place to go.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rai Lay, and it was an extraordinary experience. The food at Rai Lay was nothing short of phenomenal. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with exquisite flavors that delighted my taste buds and left me craving for more. From the first bite to the last, I was immersed in a culinary journey of pure bliss. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the presentation was impeccable, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the meal. Rai Lay truly excelled in delivering a remarkable dining experience through their exceptional cuisine.

New Asian Bistro that opened up in the shopping center. Decided to try while in the area. Sushi was good, so was the Pad Cha. My only wish, was they had more of extensive cocktail selection. It’s somewhat limited

We will definitely return to Rai Lay—we found a gem! The food and service was amazing—we were pleasantly surprised! I think our waiter’s name was Stephen—he made a great recommendation of Kao Soy (something I wouldn’t have tried otherwise) and I LOVED it! It was very rich and big enough for two honestly! We loved the summer rolls and Shrimp Tempura Rolls that we had with Jasmine tea to start with. We also had Panang Curry with Chicken that was good! I would highly recommend Rai Lay for all Asian food lovers!

Great place to eat. Tara had the spicy tuna roll and Tom Yum soup with Shrimp. I had spring rolls and the Angry Cowboy. All were delicious and just the right size. Excellent service! The staff was very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend trying this place. We will be back many times.
