About Kim Lai

Kim Lai is a Chinese Restaurant located at 599 Lafayette Rd # 12 in Portsmouth, NH. They offer a variety of Chinese dishes for local customers. You can contact them at (603) 430-0761 or +1 603-430-0761.

According to recent customer reviews, Kim Lai offers some particularly delicious items, including the crab rangoons. The chicken wings are noted for being large, and the house rice is described as moist and plentiful. While the shrimp with lobster sauce was mentioned as being a little salty, the shrimp itself was tender. The bone-in ribs had great flavor but were slightly overcooked. Many customers express intentions to return, and one reviewer specifically mentioned awesome service.

However, another review indicated that the restaurant may not be very accommodating for gluten-free diets. This customer also experienced a server who was not very attentive, had difficulty understanding the menu, and was hard to understand verbally, requiring assistance from another staff member. On a positive note, the lunch portions were generous, and the prices were considered reasonable. The bathrooms were reported to be clean.

Overall, Kim Lai seems to offer tasty Chinese food with some standout dishes and generally good service, although those with gluten sensitivities may find limited options, and attentiveness of service might vary. The restaurant provides generous portions at reasonable prices in a clean environment.

Very yummy. Second time here. Crab rangoons are delicious. Chicken wings were huge. House rice was moist and plentiful. The Shrimp with lobster sauce was a lil salty but yummy tender shrimp and the bone in ribs had a great flavor but a weee over cooked. Definitely going back. The service was awesome.

Decent food but not very accommodating for gluten free. Wasn’t very busy but server was not very attentive. She didn’t understand the menu and was difficult to understand so another staff member helped explain the options. Food portions were generous for lunch items we ordered. Prices were reasonable! Bathrooms are clean and my fortune came true…I was hungry after 1hour 😆 not exactly what you want when going out for lunch.

Totally skimped all our dinner specials. 3 different combo plates and ordered other sides. And totally skimped me on rice and chicken. I always order from this place. And she says that they’ve been doing this for 20 Years which is a lie. Never coming back here again. Disrespectful. Spent over 70 dollars and barely any food.

Very good chicken pad thai, right amount of spiciness. Crab Rangoon hit the spot perfectly, plenty of cream cheese. Even with the weather being terrible they still got it here when they said they would! Very friendly and patient service over the phone when placing order.

Ordered lunch on New Years Day. Limited menu, I understand that due to holiday and lack of staff. I ordered chicken and broccoli and had to add rice which I'm glad I did because the rest of the meal was terrible. All broccoli with a few pieces of chicken and carrots. The sauce was watered down and seemed more like chicken broth. The meal was expensive for mostly broccoli. If you don't want to service the public correctly on a holiday then don't open. Not a good start to the New Year Kim Lai. Won't order here again.
