I say lee-chi but have heard lai-chi used. A quick Google seems to suggest that it's lai-chi in China and Vietnam (where they are native), but that Americans use lee-chi.
How quaint.

I've seen them around and have eaten them from time to time.

Never seen it before, but it looks like it rhymes with tai chi.

Lih chi.
They're so tasty. They look daunting but eat like a cherry

Even Pokmon knows how it should be pronounced.

I can confirm that all the Vietnamese people I know, and I know quite a few because I live there, use lai-chi.

Same experience. I bartended in a Japanese restaurant back in the day and it mostly had Chinese servers and they always said lai-chee, but Americans usually say lee-chee.

At least in California, most people I've heard correctly say lie-chee. I have heard a few lee-chees, though, and I always do a double take.

Lie-chee, which is apparently the UK pronunciation according to Wikipedia.
