Lily's Restaurant

Okay so I tried this place and could not have been more disappointed. We ordered egg rolls, crab Rangoon, wonton soup, pepper steak and orange chicken. The egg rolls, crab Rangoon and wonton soup were awful. I didn't think it was possible to truly mess these items up but they did. They could f-up a cup of water. The entrees were okay, not great but okay.The restaurant look run down and the service was about was expected but over all not worth the trip or the money.

The Chinese restaurant that we normally go to for wonton and hot and sour soups was closed today. So we went to Lily's. It was the best hot and sour soup I've ever had. Filled with veggies and just enough hot to make your sinuses feel some relief! The egg roll was similar to ever other egg roll. Definitely will go back!

Big time props for Lily recently- I've ordered from them 3-4 x over the last few months and each time it was progressively better. The food was super fresh and the chicken was very tasty. Their hot and sour soup is top 3 I've ever had and the egg rolls are crunchy and perfect. They definitely have picked up their game and I will gladly continue to return.

There are some aspects of Lily Chinese that I believe are 5 star worthy, while others only merit one at best. Let's start with the good: Their egg rolls are the best around. Period. Portion sizes are great. They are one of the few places that can make my favorite dish (Beef w/ oyster sauce) the way I like it. Their House Lo Mein is very good. Their lunch specials (which include a generous portion of your favorite dish, fried rice, and an egg roll) are dirt cheap and usually can provide two meals unless you're a big eater. They're also open on holidays - even Christmas - which came in very handy one year. The not so good: their fried rice is just not very good. Bland and at times almost like white rice with vegetables. My main complaint is that no matter how many times I say I want a dish to be spicy, extra spicy, super duper extra spicy, or "en fuego" spicy, they're rarely ever achieve it. A few times they've surprised me, though. Overall, Lily Chinese is very solid Chinese takeout option in the 44138 area.

Wok of Falls much better. Got sick after last order of General Tso. Too much breading on chicken. Way way way too saucy even when I asked light. Rice was good.

New to the area so trying to find a new local Chinese food takeout restaurant & we decided to first try Lily Chinese Restaurant. Ordered the sweet & sour chicken entree with fried rice & egg roll. The egg roll was delicious but did not enjoy the chicken & fried rice nearly as much which lacked much flavor other than an over abundance of salt. We will most likely be trying a different Chinese restaurant in the area our next round.

I love the vegetable egg rolls and fried rice. My wife likes the vegetables with cashews. Great price, fast service.

Not great! There was a gel like substance in my broccoli and chicken lunch special. The fried rice used was not a properly made fried rice. More like a regular rice trying to pass. Cannot complain about the lunch special price though $5.25. I may try again just to see if they had an off day or batch.

The only reason Lily got two stars is the pick up order was ready on time. We had ordered from Lily in the past and the food was good. This time the food was quite a let down. The fried rice was burnt and didn't look anything like fried rice. For a chicken meal it was hard to tell. Very little chicken. The crab Rangoon's had very little stuffing and were like eating fried chips. Very disappointed!

This place has really gone down hill in the last several years. Tonight was the icing on the cake. We got take out and of course she said pick up in ten minutes and then it wasn't ready. My husband went to get the food and he ordered seafood soup. The soup that was in our bag wasn't seafood. My beef and broccoli was terrible. The beef and the broccoli was so unevenly cut that some of it was under cooked. The gravy was too thick and coated everything. Throughly disgusted.
