Lilli and Loo New York Reviews
Delicious gluten free food options - dumplings, spring roll, lo mein. 10/10 highly recommend
Nice restaurant with great gluten free options! Great food, so many options for gluten free, got food quickly. In the photos listed we got a starter salad and then i got the steamed vegetables with the ginger basil sauce and rice - it was very good! The sauce was not overpowering with ginger. This restaurant is on the smaller side so I would recommend making a reservation especially if you are dining during common dinner/lunch hours (call to make a reservation) and please use the address listed on the website! The address listed on google is the old address. However, both locations are only a 2 minute walk from each other if you mess it up.
My girlfriend and I went here for dinner on Saturday night (Lexington Ave location) and we really enjoyed it! The food and drinks came out in a timely manner and it was delicious, the staff was kind and very knowledgeable about the menu. They even have a separate gluten-free menu with tons of options. The atmosphere was chill, the space was not as big and it can get packed so definitely make a reservation ahead of time especially for a large party. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Thai food!
I had an unusual situation in that I was hosting a wedding banquet but the restaurant was unable to accommodate a few of my gluten free guests. I worked with Maggie to come up with a sample platter for each person that would be safe for them to eat, and she had them delivered to the venue. She is wonderful and I heard that the food was fabulous! Thank you for making the dinner special for everyone, Maggie!
The best gluten-free Chinese food I’ve had. The General Tso’s was made with white meat and the crispiness and heat was on point. My fiancée has celiacs, but I could attest that this tasted like the same. They have gf desert, Thai tea, and wine mixer drinks as well. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who has celiac or eats gluten free.
I am still eating here as I write it but this place is so amazing that I have to write a review straight away. I am gluten free so by default my expectations are not too high (because gluten free food is usually not delicious) but here… here is like heaven on earth. Full gluten free menu, the food is fresh and so delicious! The service is so nice and kind despite clearly being very busy inside the restaurant and with pick up orders. Cannot recommend enough!
Lilli and Loo is a fantastic spot for lunch! We ordered the Kung Pao Tofu, fried rice, and some sushi a la carte — everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The lunch deal is such a great value, and the service was quick and efficient, which made it perfect for a midday meal. Definitely a go-to for tasty food and a smooth dining experience.
The food here was definitely one of the highlights of our NYC vacation! There are so many gluten free options, and everything we got was absolutely delicious. My favorite was the sesame chicken (soooo good!!). Such a treat to have good gluten free Chinese. Will definitely be back next time we’re in NYC!
This place serves Chinese, Thai, and Japanese. Everything looked delicious. We ordered Crispy General Tso's Chicken and was the bomb! It was so crispy but so tender at the same time. I couldn't stop eating. Masaman Curry was good but had a unique flavor. Not quite sure what it was but little different then what I'm used to.
Excellent Asian cuisine, NY style. We called ahead and reserved. The staff is very nice. We had gluten free versions of tempura shrimps, pork dumplings and sushi. I had the General Tso with chicken GF. Gluten free has it's own separate. The other party members had good food too. It has very nice and very spicy chilies inside. They have good Japanese plum wine. Comfortable seating and nice atmosphere with simplistic but canning decor.
Excellent service and amazing gluten-free options for those with food allergies! I tried the pom-teriyaki grilled chicken with veggies, my Celiac husband got General Tso's, and we shared the pan-fried potstickers. WOW, I didn't even know potstickers this soft and tender (but that actually stay together and don't fall apart) and flavorful were even possible gluten-free. They were beyond tasty, and I'd recommend them to anyone! The only downside to this restaurant at all was that the tables were really tight and the music was a bit loud, plus the people next to us were so loud we couldn't have a conversation apart from them. I understand this is pretty normal as far as spacing goes in NYC, but we were visiting from out of state and weren't prepared for the close quarters. Still, the food was worth it, and if we lived closer, we'd be back. 🥟🥢
Went to Lilli and Loo with some friends for a group lunch. A few of my friends have dietary restrictions and Lilli and Loo has gluten-free menu options. The service was good and we got our food quickly. I got chicken pad thai it was good. I would say this is a solid choice if you are in the area. The menu had a lot of options, there was sushi, there was Chinese and Thai food options. So something for everyone. And for NYC it wasn't crazy expensive.
Lilli and Loo is where I get my gluten free goodies. The chelsea location might have the better location, but the UES location has the better tasting food IMO. My usual order is the gluten free beef lo mein which I've always gotten from the one on UES. I ordered from the chelsea location (because door dash chose that one) last night and it was dry, bland, and tasted like disappointment.
I came to this restaurant based on my co workers suggestion but after having the food I urge everyone not to visit this restaurant Truly a dissatisfying experience and disappointment on Thai cuisine . I ordered Thai basil curry with chicken and it was tooo sweet and not even spicy ( I requested extra spicy ) They initially gave me small amount of rice but with Thai food you need rice . The server was very rude . Growing up I visited Thailand as if it were my second home I know how a real Thai food taste like but this was a total disgrace to Thailand and I felt like I wasted my time and money here.
I did not love this place. The problem with pan Asian restaurants is that none of the dishes taste authentic. The sushi was weak and had no flavor. The rice was barely covering the black seaweed. Even the ginger was weak. The pad Thai was too sweet. The chicken was dry. Not enough vegetables in it . The service is great though.
