Cool Lala Modern Asian Cuisine

Walked in just after Cool Lala opened for the night and there were plenty of seats available. The servers were very friendly and our drinks came almost instantly after ordering. Had the Tofu and Korean Fried Chicken starters and wow, they were packed with flavour and cooked so well. For our mains, the Spicy Chicken, Beef Cheeks and a side of rice (if you want rice be sure to order a side) and the chicken was crispy with an amazing chilli sauce, and the beef cheeks fell apart. The atmosphere was great (very little people there) and the tables and spaced comfortably apart. Well done, will definitely be returning.

Really nice vibe and the staff are friendly! Korean Fried Chicken was delicious. Veggie Oyster Sauce Stir Fry was really bland and a bit too much broccoli compared to other veggies. The Sweet & Sour Pork was tasty, the pork was very moist and flavoursome. Didn’t expect so much ice in the cocktail, not my personal fav, but tasted okay.

Our friends who live locally took us here for dinner. The food is simple yet delicious. I love how they suggest food for our table. The sides of kimchi and seaweed is also nice. A blend of all asian food. I also like how unique the cocktail they offer. I got the one with the popping bubbles and it was yummy. The wait person are also very friendly and accommodating. I highly suggest this restaurant when you visit Airlie.

This place serves amazing asian food!! The cocktails were incredible. We came for a xmas party for 30ppl. We had preordered our food which came in handy as everything came out pretty fast and well organized. Drink service could have been a little faster but we were ordering cocktails so understandable that they take time to make. Everything was fresh and delicious! Overall very satisfied and will definitely be returning!

Good food, good atmosphere, nice friendly staff. The fish tartare which costs $24 is really really small portion so takes that in mind. I love the ramen and fried rice, beef cheek is a bit bland. We came the second time, and the blu chic mock-tail is worse than the first time, so not consistent, you can see in the first pic i post is the second time, and the last is the first. While the first time i came it has a strong blue colour, with jellies and popping pearl while 2nd is almost light blue and popping pearls only, tastes like regular soda. Ramen and fried rice saved the day.

The restaurant is not cramped up, like some are in Airlie. Service team are very pleasant. We had the Korean Chicken for entree it was so yum, sticky and delicious! Main - Beef Cheeks ! So tender and flavourful! but remember to order a side as it doesn’t come with vegetables. Then we had Thai fried chicken which was good too, but would be even better with a small salad beside it, like a green paw paw salad! We will definitely be back.

A very interesting, modern, Asian Fusion restaurant. I was there on Halloween night, without a booking, and just got the last table. Very roomy restaurant, but also a very busy place. The locals must like it ! Food was great, lots of variety. I had the Pad Thai, which was delicious, but just a touch too oily for me. Staff very friendly. All dressed up for a big night. Nice background music.

Had both lunch (dine in) and dinner (takeaway) on my recent visit with family to the Airlie Beach for a couple of days. Loved everything we tried. Stand outs would have to be the Taiwanese Chicken Bites and the calamari. Decent beer selection. Great service and location

Definitely worth a visit if you're a fan of Asian food. The spring rolls don't look like much but are made fresh in-house daily and quite tasty. It's worth ordering at least a few. The fried chicken wings and the som-tam were both excellent and delivered a satisfying level of spice. If you like your food spicy, this is the place for you. There are also a number of different hot sauces you can order on the side if you want to dial up the heat even more. Can't really think of anything negative to say about this place. The service was prompt and friendly, if perhaps a little stressed with the large number of customers dining in. Prices are quite reasonable and we got a large, filling, spicy meal for not a lot of cash.

Amazing food, drinks, a bit loud but it has amazing customer service and is just plain epic.

Went on a Wednesday night and was happy with the food. I had a chilli chicken dish and that was very nice. Wife had chicken with ginger but it lacked much flavor except for the ginger. Would return again and try something different next time. Worth visiting if in the area and recommend by the locals which is always a good sign.

We chose to visit this "Taiwanese" restaurant on our first night in Airlie Beach, and that was no doubt an absolute nightmare. If you had any decent experience with Chinese or Asian food, you will find the dishes at this restaurant worse than your wildest imagination. I cannot understand who in their right mind would think this restaurant deserves any respect for their food. The Chinese, Filipino, and Thai dishes we ordered were all overly greasy, improperly seasoned, and absolutely nasty. We had to put up with this prolonged excruciation because they stopped serving us any food for 45 minutes until we reminded them. As we were about to leave this shitshow, the waitress carelessly cleaned up our table and spilled grease onto my wife's pants. To finish with the cherry on top, the waitress mistakenly added $3 to our bill. That finally concluded the shitshow, almost literally. We had to try to make fun of how much of a joke this restaurant was so that our heads didn't explode due to insanity. We made this terrible mistake on New Year's Eve in 2019 and would like to share it so that you don't have to in 2020. Happy New Year!

Fresh , tasty Asian cuisine . Set menu Yum Cha during the day or choose delicious things like slow cooked beef cheeks with pineapple or chicken bites or crispy calamari rings . Too many to name. Fresh and delicious. The service was first class for this little cafe. Highly recommend.

Food was delicious for a random beachtown Asian mix. They hand make things like dumplings and spring rolls so the cost is not cheap cheap. Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed.

Nice little place near the Airlie beach pool, refreshing beers, amazing hand made gyoza and spring rolls.

We visited the restaurant on New Year's Eve in Airlie Beach, and I felt my life flashed before my eyes. We entered the restaurant with good level of optimism, and little did we know what was about to transpire. The shitshow started off with the fact that the three items we ordered weren't even available. Then the food was overly salty and greasy; the world's worst criminals probably deserve better meals than this. This so-called Taiwanese restaurant has the audacity to serve Filipino and Thai food when it cannot get anything right. On the other hand, they even completely forgot to serve us the terrible food and made us wait for almost an hour before we reminded them. A few minutes later, my bowl was taken without being given a new one during our meal. The worst part was my pants were ruined because the waitress carelessly spilled grease without realizing it. Lastly, we almost paid $3 more for our bill because the waitress made a silly mistake. This restaurant owner should have really been a comedian because the restaurant was a complete joke. I have not hated anything with passion as much as this restaurant. Our heads almost exploded just like the beautiful fireworks outside at the beach. If you have any respect for yourself and Asian cuisines, please do not consider this restaurant unless you are taking your worst enemy for a treat.

Skip the stir fry. My dining partner had chicken dish to start which he liked. By both our stir frys left much to be desired.
