So I'm gluten free and basically haven't had good table service Lo Mein in a decade. Today Lilli changed that. To start we got the GF Oriental Pork Dumplings split pan fried/steamed. The steamed were good, pretty doughy, but the fried were better. Then 2 GF entrees, the Lo Mein w shrimp and the Spicy Maki Combo. Again, this is a rare opp for good gf spicy tuna/salmon sushi (they even have flakes/tempura type options). And the noodles were show stopping. I drank Dura beer which is labeled as "crafted to remove" gluten. Didn't look into that but it was good. Atmosphere was quiet despite the place being decently sized. Super fast service. read more

Very disappointing. Very little taste. Service was fine. Ambiance is nice. Happy that they have a full gluten free menu for those who need it, but that doesn't mean that you can forsake taste and creativity. Unfortunately nothing special and given the other Asian food options in the area it is unlikely to be around very long unless they significantly up their game. read more

I've been reviewing restaurants on Yelp for years and then recently discovered I have celiac. Now I'm going to restaurants which are safe for celiac. I've gone from foodie to celiac. It's a switch! First, the ambience was sweet and had a good fib. There was energy walking in immediately. All the tables were full and from conversations, many locals. The staff was attentive and friendly and then I mentioned the who celiac thing. The waiter immediately changed tones and menus c he brought a gluten free menu and explained how the back of the house deals with gf-- including separate fryers and gf shoot sauce I've never had lemongrass soup and it was tasty. It's marked spicy but I was expecting hot. It had a hint of spice and not it wasn't overpowering. It was good and I will have it again. The sushi was fine not excellent. Just okay The sweet chili sambal entree was exceptional. It had an assortment of vegetables, including okra!! The spice was just right. I will come back and my non celiac partner enjoyed his food immensely and agreed to return. All in all, for a celiac and non celiac customers, it was a great experience read more

I came to Lilli and Loo for lunch with my friend who is gluten-free, and she was so excited to find gluten-free sushi on the menu! Apparently, it's rare to find places that offer gluten-free crunch and tempura, so that was a big win. We tried a few rolls that were pretty good--not mind-blowing, but definitely enjoyable. Our server was super friendly, and the restaurant itself was very clean with a nice, relaxed vibe. I want to try their gluten free Chinese/noodle dishes next time. Overall, a solid lunch spot, especially if you're looking for gluten-free options. read more

Made reservations two weeks ago to meet with family and they call one day before to cancel. They don't have the decency to let us know a week ago. I would not recommend going here. The person on the phone was very rude and referred to their 3 star sister restaurant. Please don't make plans to go here especially if you are from out of town and they leave you hanging with no reservation less than 24 hours before. Greed has overtaken this restaurant if they are willing to sell out with less than a day to close for a private party. read more

Gluten-free chinese. There's only 2 places in town for that. I love the kung pao or spicy chicken w peanuts as well as Singapore noodles. It's pricey if you can eat regular chinese but I find I leave light and not in a food coma. The service is so so friendly. Small space though. Mostly health-conscious people dining in.

The actual food was pretty good, the issue for me was the service. I walked in and stated I had a reservation (I made it on the website), she was unable to find it even though I had a confirmation email. After 5-7 minutes, she seated me and my friend. We ordered drinks and our meals. The drinks came and were good. Then they brought over the food awhile later and brought the wrong dish for me. I noticed the moment they said it as it was a shrimp dish and I had beef. They were very confused and I showed them again what I ordered and they left but gave my friend her food. They came back 6 minutes later and brought the wrong food AGAIN. I explained AGAIN what I ordered. 5 or so minutes later they finally brought me the right order. It was tasty but an annoying process. They also asked me and my friend to move tables as a different guest didn't want a certain area? The guests then stopped them from asking us, so we stayed. It was awkward. read more

Our server was very nice. We ended up here because of all the great gluten free options they have - things you can't typically find gluten free! The dumplings were extremely doughy, making it very difficult to get by the texture. The gluten free general tsos was amazing, and their gluten free chicken lo mien was pretty good too. Overall a good experience! read more

We order from Lilli and Loo Chelsea often. Usually the gluten free vegetable and avocado sushi rolls are good. Tonight we got 1/2 the amount we've previously gotten for the same order. One of the vegetables in the veggie sushi this time was iceberg lettuce, which was a poor substitute. I also ordered a GF miso soup that had so little miso in it that it tasted more like water. Very disappointing read more

Soooo impressed with this place!! Gluten free Asian food that doesn't taste gluten free. I got the calamari and the pork dumplings from the gluten free menu and could not recommend them enough! The server was so helpful and sweet in talking about my allergies and what she recommended from the menu. For my main I got a sushi roll with tempura that was very good but next time I'd prioritize trying the noodles or the general Tso's chicken which I've heard great things about.

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.
