We'd been planning to go here for a couple of years, but kept having to postpone. they've really pared down their menu offerings over time, and there were some things that I wish I'd had the opportunity to try. The duck spring rolls were excellent. Also really like the soft fried tofu we added to the garlic noodles, but felt like they should have had more garlic. The chicken banh mi was tasty, but not very authentic and definitely needed more pickled veg and more acid

Lily is a beautiful restaurant but it seemed unable to serve a good meal to a large party. I was there once before with a party of 2. It was okay. But today they could not handle a larger party at all. The drinks and food came out really slowly. Some things made no sense. They served appetizers before 3 persons in our party had received drinks. The food was no longer hot when it came out. Some of the dishes were not prepared correctly. The mussels had way too much sand in them to eat them. They left the front door open when it was too cold out to do so. We were wearing coats inside. Some of the dishes tasted good but on the whole they were too heavy. They served eg rolls in little dessert cups. Nobody in our party liked their meal. We won’t be going back.

There were 3 times that items that we didn’t order were put on our table. And then the items that we did order were delayed and one we chose not to receive as it would have taken too long. I was surprised our waiter didn’t really apologize for the mistakes or wait times. The food was good and our best bite was the duck egg roll, but nothing was really notable, especially for the price. We would not chose to go back anytime soon.

We’ve been here 3 times now and I will come back. Every item that I’ve tried from their menu has been outstanding and the service is great. We’ve asked recommendations from the waiter and they have always hit the spot.
