Anthony's take
By Anthony Martinez, The Leander Local · Visited 2026-06-29 · Updated August 2026
Twice in one week. Yeah, I know. Lali Son Fast Food, unassuming as it sounds, managed to pull me back to its Leander lair. This isn't about white tablecloths or pretentious plating. It's about getting down to business with flavor. Those dumplings, for starters, were a revelation. Steaming, fresh, each one a perfectly crafted bite that vanished too quickly. Then came the Shezwan Chicken noodles, a medium spice kick that wasn't just heat, it was a full, vibrant assault on the senses, exactly what I needed. On the second visit, I dove into the Chicken Biryani. That, my friends, was a masterclass in balance, every grain of rice and tender piece of chicken infused with a spice level that felt utterly, gloriously right.
The Order
Go for the dumplings, definitely. The Shezwan Chicken noodles, medium spice, if you know what's good for you. And don't walk out without trying the Chicken Biryani.
That's the word on this one.
I'm working through every spot in Leander, and posting my own take as I go. Get the next one before everyone else, one email a week.
