Quick info
About Lai Do 2
Lai Do 2 is a Chinese takeaway in Wolverhampton, found at 254/256 Penn Rd. Orders are taken by phone, and payment on delivery is cash only, because the business does not accept credit cards on delivery. That is worth knowing before dialling, so customers can have the cash ready when the order arrives. The Chinese menu lists vegetarian dishes alongside meat dishes, which gives a choice for each kind of order. Walk-in is the booking format, with no table reservations.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the food itself, calling it the best Chinese takeaway they have found, with so much flavour and delicious vegetarian and meat dishes, and several say it is consistently good. Delivered orders are described as arriving piping hot, and reviewers single out a polite phone order taker and a polite driver. The recurring complaint is timing. Several reviewers say delivery or collection ran far past the time they were quoted, and one says the food arrived only warm. Another says a collection promised in a short window took much longer, so the meal ended up in the bin. One longtime customer also believes they were overcharged and says the driver would not hand over a receipt. A separate reviewer describes overcooked, dried out spare ribs, both plain and with barbecue sauce.
