"I've always passed b this restaurant & have been wanting to try it for years. I finally had the opportunity to take a good friend out, unfortunately, it was not such a nice experience. Food was average, a vegetable dish we ordered was good but the soup was bland; pricing is moderate. The service really needs improvement. The servers were not pleasant or welcoming & nobody came back to ask if everything was alright or if we needed anything else. There is no sense that the workers are happy to be there. It was a let down, I do not recommend this restaurant."

"The modern but friendly atmosphere is welcoming. Small room. Open kitchen. Everything look divine. Portions are relatively large all around. The issue I had was that the food overall was pretty bland, which is really unusual for Asian cuisines. The night we went there was a lovely two piece jazz ensemble, very friendly (except for the very loud guy sitting next to us -- which translates practically on top of us)
I had a pork wonton noodle soup, which is enough for three. My son had a Bento box, which he loved. Our dinner companions had a veggie moo shu, which, again, bland, but decent. More than the normal 3 or 4 pancakes. Dinner for four of us was about $70.
I would give them a second chance and just ask for them to amp up the spices."

"What a great find for gluten free Chinese! My husband and toddler both have Celiac Disease and we have been looking for a gluten friendly Chinese restaurant for some time. We were not disappointed in the least, they had a huge gluten free menu (in addition to their regular menu), everything was delicious and we cannot wait to return!"

"We chose Lilli and Loo for its extensive Gluten free menu. We ordered 2 chicken dishes ...the Kung Pao and the Chili...both were sensational ...bursting with flavor and the most tender chicken we have ever eaten. Service was super fast and efficient.
Will definitely be back on our next visit to NYC."
