They have the biggest gluten free menu I have ever seen in my 3.5 years being gluten free! It is so hard to find places with Asian gluten free option. It was amazing choosing from such a big variety of foods for once. Even gluten free spring rolls! They were delicious. So was my main entree. I ate everything since it was so delicious. Severs are very friendly and its a nice atmosphere at the restaurant with nice decor. Really a great place!

Stopped in for a quick bite. Had the spicy tuna roll. All around ok. I wouldn't tell anyone not to go here but my 1 experience was not extraordinary.

Horrible place. My friend and I asked to sit up stairs and the hostess said no. She didn’t provide a reason, just “no.” As we were getting seated, I asked the man seating us if there was any extra seating upstairs. He tried to ignore me. As he was walking away he turned his head and said “She already said no” very coldly. Do not go here. Really nasty service.

Hands down one of my favorite meals EVER (like, ever ever). I lived within Lilli and Loo’s delivery radius on the UES and have since moved away, but whenever I go back to NYC, it’s on the top of my to-do list.The black pepper tuna sushi roll (actually, all their sushi!) is amazing, and their gluten free Chinese food is out. Of. This. World.Lots of vegetarian options, too, and their WHOLE CHINESE FOOD MENU can be made gluten free. Some favorites include pan fried pork dumplings, chicken and broccoli, General Tso’s chicken, moo shu pork, and basically any of their appetizers.It’s small but they have about 10 tables, beer/wine/cocktail, delicious Thai iced coffee, an event space upstairs, and it’s really just so damn good. Stop at Baked By Melissa or Sprinkles Cupcakes for gluten free desserts afterwards!

the service was ok. I went with a few coworkers. one of my coworkers ordered a drink but had to re ask for their drink after getting their food as the waitress forgot. I asked for general tso's tofu, extra spicy. . . but there was no spice. the hot and sour soup was amazing, however my tofu was over cooked which lead it to replicate the same texture as chewy foam. the restaurant itself was really clean and pretty. . . I just seemed like the waitress was extremely distracted.

Very good gluten free General Tsos. The Singapore noodles were also really good. It is so nice to have so many gluten free options at a Chinese restaurant. That is rare. The tempura shrimp appetizer was the least good. Not very crisp tempura and I wasn't a big fan of the sauce (a mayonnaise based sauce) but it was a generous portion. Service was nice, expedient.

I haven't ate American Chinese food for at least 15 years. This restaurant helped me experience my childhood growing up eating Chinese food on the weekends. I love this service and it's a very beautiful looking restaurant.

Tofu spinach soup was boiled spinach with fresh tofu and salt for $7.50. Edamame were uncooked, the lemongrass limeade was Sprite with some lime in it, watered down. And the sizzling tofu came warmish, not hot, with uncooked broccoli, 1 mushroom, and very oily. It separated on my plate! We never even got water, and we waited for the server to come back, and she did not come back for the entire meal to check on us. And there is no soundproofing in the restaurant so you can hear everyone's conversation very clearly. There's absolutely no privacy. Not impressed AT ALL.

Pad Thai was delicious and so was the lettuce wrap. Not 100 percent sold on the cross contamination but they do Cooke with gluten. Other than that nice service and good food

Ordered sashimi, and they forgot to give me wasabi or ginger. When asked for it, they only gave wasabi. I think they need to be told exactly what you want from them.

So we used to live in NYC.We moved to Denver CO 4 years ago. While we LOVE living in Denver it is nearly impossible to find good gluten free Chinese food.Whenever we come to the city with the family I take my daughter here. Today we traveled 1500 miles and all she wanted was LILY'S. Her favorite is the pan fried dumplings and the general Tso chicken.The following is a review written by my 9 year old daughter Vivienne, "Lily's was incredible and the service was amazing and most of all the gluten free food was like heaven on a plate 😍👍👍👍."

Good food, but the service was horrible. Very slow service - had to ask multiple times for food, took 45 minutes for some plates to come out. We had a large party reserved so they knew we were coming.

Finally a decent Chinese restaurant! NYC has tons of places yet I couldn't seem to find one I liked. Places I grew up with on Long Island were SO GOOD and I could not find a place in the city to match that quality I was used to.But Lilli and Loo did it. Have ordered from here a couple of times and am always very satisfied.Why 4 stars instead of 5? Because I've still had Chinese food that's been better than this. But no qualms with this place. Definitely give it a go.Prices are reasonable.

We like a lot to go out. Last night we came to this delicious place which friends recommended to us. We enjoyed a delightful experience there with superb cooking and an experienced crew and an impressive cuisine. We put this venue in our phone list and we will definitely return very soon. We warmly recommend.

Average Asian food, masked in a big “fancyish” real estate local, with a not welcoming nor nice host at the entrance’s counter. Good gluten free options.

Way too expensive for the quality of food served. I’ve gone twice now just to give it another chance but I again regret eating here. It’s almost inedible and we always barely touch our food.

Honestly it may be due to covid19 and that they are serving leftovers but I just got food from there today and it was awful ! I had to throw it out . So disappointed and a waste of 30$ . The only thing that was good was the thai iced tea . DO NOT RECOMMEND

Visited with some friends and had a great time. The servers were nice and the place looked neat and clean. The lunch specials menu was to the point. The place is quite small, so not the ideal place for big groups. Overall, it was generally nice. The Teriyaki chicken bento was alright.

OMG yum! This was some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. Gluten free Chinese food is so hard to find - especially general tso chicken! This meal was perfectly mouth-watering 🤤. The flavor and crispiness was 💯. I'm still thinking about it weeks later!
