"Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Came for restaurant week and tried a variety of dishes. Beef carpaccio my fave and I also loved my shaking beef salad, so tasty and lots of crunch! Every dish was delicious, unique and generous portions, so we all left very satisfied. Staff is super friendly, attentive and got a chance to chat with Chef Robert who was so nice! Cocktails were well balanced, and they had a long list of mocktails too which I love. Thanks for a great experience, Lily!!"

"The menu at Lily restaurant is a true culinary masterpiece. Each dish I tried was expertly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients that burst with flavor. The attention to detail in every plate was evident, and I appreciated the chef's creativity in creating unique and delicious flavor combinations. The wine list was extensive, offering a wide selection to pair with the meal. The waitstaff was knowledgeable and passionate about the cuisine, making excellent recommendations and ensuring that every need was met. The service was prompt yet attentive, allowing me to fully enjoy my dining experience without feeling rushed. If you're looking for a truly exceptional dining experience in San Francisco, Lilly restaurant is an absolute must-visit."

"Good food, nice atmosphere and service was.... Well, if I could just get a smile or two from the server or a friendly grin from the Latino chef cooking Vietnamese cuisine, then the meal would be a so much more of an experience. I tried so hard to get a nice reaction from the chef as we dined at the Chefs counter. I gave him a thumbs up when we tasted the fried fish he made and received a glare back from him. I smiled again as he served us the Carpaccio he whipped up and again.... Nothing. He even turned to his assistant and mumbled something as he looked at us then laughed. People choose to sit at the Chefs Counter because they enjoy watching all the action. So SMILE at your guests. We're paying your wages! Anyway, food was salty but tasty, my gfs drink was an iced green tea cocktail with gin. But I'm pretty sure they forgot the gin. Very watery and very weak. Bread pudding dessert was really good though. Jack fruit pizza wasn't too bad either. I don't recommend the Carpaccio wth bone marrow. The deep fried fish was crispy and delicious. You have to ask for lettuce, rice paper and sauce to go with the fish. That is a MUST!"

"Came here for lunch. There were only a couple tables to choose from for walk ins. We had the lunch special that was $32 for a drink, appetizer, and entree. I thought this was very reasonable especially for the large portions. The drinks were nonalcoholic, pretty, and very creative. Mango salad was refreshing. The pork bowl was probably the best of the entrees we had. The French dip was good but hard to eat."

"The place is a little more run-down and smaller than expected but the food was great! We got the jackfruit pizza, broken rice plate, and heritage pork bowl. Everything was super picturesque and tasted amazing. The owner was also super friendly and came by to chat with us a few times. They do charge a fixed 20% service fee which I'm not super fond of restaurants doing unless it's super high end or for large parties."
