Great Lake is now closed; the head chef purchased Lai Lai in 2015 and brought most of the menu there.

Great Lake Chinese Seafood is an authentic Hong Kong-style Chinese restaurant near the corner of Carpenter and Packard. Known for their live fish tanks and dim sum (go on Saturday or Sunday at peak times and you can order from carts as well as the menu), they have a large selection of genuine (and well-executed) Hong Kong dishes as well as some more pedestrian Americanized standards. The seafood and beef dishes are exceptional.

They do takeout, but no delivery.
