Decided to try Lilli & Loo on a rainy summer night. Since it was raining, outdoor dining really wasn't an option. The workers then opened the windows, put up a divider, and sat us right by the windows, so we were "outside", without the rain. We ordered and got our food within ten minutes! The portions are big and the prices are decent. The food was very tasty. The establishment itself is not sketchy and very clean, but not too fancy. read more

Um hello giant lunch! I ordered delivery for lunch on the Yelp app, and it came 30 mins earlier than expected -yayyyy. I got a Thai basil bento box which comes with rice, dumplings, California rolls, salad and soup. What a spread. Didn't love the California rolls, I think it was mock crab. But everything else is legit. Love getting this much food for lunch, because that means I can have second lunch later in the afternoon. read more

Delicious food! We love their Kung Pao chicken, beef & broccoli and the chicken fried rice!

Lilli & Loo is always a required stop whenever I am back in New York City. As someone who cannot eat gluten, I had given up hope of having satisfying Chinese food long ago, but my hope was restored with Lilli & Loo. The gluten free menu is expansive, and filled with all of your favorite dishes across cuisines (not just Chinese). The pork dumplings are incredible (we always request fried), and a satisfying start to the meal. My wife and I are very partial to their Kung Pao or Orange Chicken dishes, and we always get the Singapore Noodles. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes, and we have yet to be disappointed with the gluten free food we have received. I can't wait to be back in NYC to stop by and grab some of my favorites again soon! read more

Love this place quality of food service and prices of the food menu are soooo reasonable. Lilli & Loo Thank you for feeding me and others during this Quarantine you safe our life. May the almighty Godcontinue blessing w read more

After becoming dedicated to my gluten-free diet, one of the foods I missed the most was Chinese food. I came across this place in a blog for celiacs and those with gluten sensitivities and this place is my favorite spot for gluten-free Chinese. I have dined here at least 10 times and I have never been sick after eating here. The amazing gluten free food keeps me coming back time and time again. My favorite dish here is the Chicken and Broccoli from the GF menu. Can't wait to visit again soon. read more

Passable Chinese food with a decent lunch box special that helps to entice its clients into quantity over quality. $16 a meal. 3.25/5 stars as a lunch spot. read more

Love their food. A little pricey but have never had a gluten allergy and decent servings. Nice quiet atmosphere and incredible hospitable staff. read more

Why is it that they send me food for delivery today and the only thing I get is chopsticks and my food, No Napkins No Fork & Knife. They do this every time and I recommend this place to my clients. I will not be doing that from now on read more

A little gem that's clean, friendly, and very good food! Walked by and decided to get takeout. Offered ice water in a glass while I waited. They agreed to my custom order of corn egg drop soup with wontons and it was excellent homemade dumplings and soup was not oversalted! Chicken chow fun was cooked to perfection too and very generous portion! Would not hesitate to eat here again. read more

This restaurant was incredible at accommodating my gluten allergy. They knew exactly what on the menu I could and could not have and mentioned how things were prepared separately before I asked. I had the gluten free spring roll which was so crispy and delicious. Non gluten free people are my table said it tasted incredibly similar to the egg roll they ordered. The dumplings were phenomenal as well, they were so fluffy. I got the lo mein for dinner which was also really good! I ate so many items that I haven't been able to order out before so I was ecstatic. read more

Used to be better. Lately, the food has been tasteless and watery. The wonton soup was almost pure MSG. A great shame, because it's a pleasant enough place and the staff are nice. But when the Mongolian Beef is indistinguishable from the Diced Chicken and Shrimp, there's a problem. We won't be eating here again. read more

Delicious gluten free options. We ordered with the intent of having leftovers but ended up cleaning our plates!

Still delicious and amazing all these years later! God bless them and their tasty gf food!!

I have been gluten free for 7 years and this is by far the best GF Chinese food I've ever had! So many options, such great flavor. General Tso chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside but the Magnolian Beef was my favorite. Highly recommend! read more

Best gf Chinese in the country. I've been coming here for years. Never a miss. Good menu variety. Can't go wrong.

Ordered lunch today. The quality of the food was poor, tasteless, not fresh, and expensive.

Went here for the first time today to try their food and ordered to go. The lady at the counter was not knowledgeable about what on the menu was GF vs not GF, so that wasn't reassuring given this restaurant advertises they specialize in gluten free food. We then told her to pack the GF vs non GF foods separately, and of course, they were packed together. Very annoying when people have one job and can't get it together. I ordered the scallion pancakes which ended up being very doughy with barely any scallions and looked undercooked. Not impressed. My sister loved her GF sushi though so an extra star for that. read more

Food was excellent. We are vegetarian and ordered the Spicy Thai Noodle, the General Tso's tofu, and the veggie dumplings. Highly recommend! read more

Okay Chinese food with lunch specials. But doesn't mean I don't like this kind of thing lol Food: Sesame Chicken Lunch Special: Super good but you can't really go wrong with this option. Very typical option so I felt very basic but I didn't care that day. The additional rice, roll and dumpling were a great compliment as well. Overall: Can't really screw up this kind of meal. This food was good and the price is always good so overall come here for a quick lunch if you want to get some Asian food around Midtown East. read more

Lilli & Loo - Sesame Chicken Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Ordered Lilli & Loo for lunch on a rainy Friday through seamless. Order came on time and was still hot. I got the thai basil chicken lunch special that came with a miso soup. Miso soup didn't have much flavor. The dish was chicken, bell peppers, onions, okra in a brown sauce and there was a choice of brown rice or white rice option. The chicken and veggies were decent, but the sauce was very salty. Generous portion and decent meal, but not very spicy when it was supposed to be. read more

Cool cozy Asian restaurant! Very good food and drinks. Especially Shanghai Waton! It's under appetizer but I can just have it as my main. Will definitely go back and order this again. read more

The best gluten free Chinese food I've ever found! The staff are wonderful and always so kind when I come to pick up takeout. Highly recommend. read more

I've eaten all over the world and hence the rating of 1 when comparing. 1. Terrible service when it comes to taking an order. The woman who picked up the phone yesterday around 8pm for dinner delivery..OMG. rude as hell . Couldn't understand what I was saying. I had to repeat twice. Dont pick up the phone next time. 1 star rating. 2. King Pao was 80 % vegetables with carrots and peas and a little chicken. No salt and all spice. 1 star rating 3. Sesame chicken was decent but still this dish alone was a 2 star rating. 4. VEG friend rice. Too soggy and spicy. Rating 1 5 Time taken. 10 minutes to cook and deliver. Meaning the food is pre cooked and made .. I only ordered the food because my hotel suggested it. The owners need to read their reviews! Poor poor service and food. read more

I found this place because of it's gluten-free selection. It's the only gluten-free Chinese food I know of in NYC and it's delicious. Great service every time. Have never had to wait. I dream about the fried dumplings and crispy sesame shrimp. The family and friends I have brought there that are not gluten-free agree that the food is great. Lots of gluten-full options too. read more

My family was in New York and we found this they have very good food and GF options anyway very very quick service and drinks were out right as I finished asking good food and service ambience is background New York driving. read more

Very poor customer service. Glitch on order from restaurant end without an apology. Very unfortunate. Very rude. read more

This place is fine- nothing memorable in particular. Everybody liked their food. They do have a lot of gluten free options, even for dishes that normally aren't gluten free like tempura. So if you are gluten free, it's a good find. However, usually lots of asian dishes are rice based and already gluten free. Ambiance was okay, service was not bad- just nothing particularly stood out! read more

This the most legit gf Chinese food I've ever had. Authentic tasting and amazing fast service. Will be a regular here. Shout out to the boneless ribs, Lo mein, and general tso chicken read more

we had this delivered while we were staying in NYC and I think about the gluten free general Tsos every day of my life.

*Seamless Lunch Order* Great sushi lunch specials! $10.50 for two rolls (6 pieces for a roll) and a miso soup! Standard menu item selection. Delivery was very quick. I'll order there again. read more

Lilli & Loo - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

3.5 stars, rounded up for how amazingly sensitive and awesome they are in accommodating dietary and allergy needs. Well-paced service, only one hiccup in our service, friendly, clean, no frills, affordable (I got a drink, app, and hearty entree for $30, including tax and tip, in this area, an I ordered from the regular menu! Friends who ordered from the lunch special menu got an even better deal!), flavorful, and all with hearty portions. They were even gems about offering to split our check five ways, even though we forgot to ask for it before we ordered. Solid option in the 'hood! read more

Wow this is one of the best Chinese food establishments I ever ate in. The food was fantastic and the service was top notch. It seems like before COVID-19 this was a more upscale restaurant but now is more of a casual, takeout restaurant but very clean. Next time I'm in this area of Manhattan, I'm definitely coming back for this delicious food! read more

I've been gluten free for years and unfortunately that means no Chinese food. I've tried a couple of places over the years but have always been disappointed. I am so glad I came across this spot! I ordered through Postmates and got the crispy sesame chicken and the pork dumplings (steamed); totally hit the spot! The chicken was perfectly cooked and tender, and the dumplings were so delicious! I will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

With the exception of a couple of GF dishes at PF Changs, before moving to Brooklyn, it had been much too long since I was able to feast on Asian food. There are SO many options here! And unlike Louisiana, I only needed to ask for the gluten-free menu for my food to be prepared in a safe manner to avoid cross-contamination. I ordered the dumplings after much back and forth. I mean, all those dumplings for just me??? Or should I get the spring rolls? Or ...? So many opportunities!! I ordered the dumplings anyway and our attentive server recommended I order them pan fried rather than steamed. They were very tasty!! My husband agreed. The only thing more difficult than deciding on a safe appetizer was trying to decide which meal to get. I settled on the Pad Thai for $12.50 on the lunch special menu. It came with soup or salad (the egg drop soup was delicious). My food was brought out very fast and it was flavorful and so very satisfying. The portion was large and I was lucky enough to have leftovers. GF soy sauce and a couple of desserts were even offered (blueberry pound cake and something else I can't remember). Everyone working was phenomenal. Our server was particularly on top of things and our water glasses were always topped off right away and our plates whisked away expediently. I didn't like the set-up near the bathroom. There really wasn't a place to wait to use the bathroom when it was already occupied, aside from leaning against a counter of supplies while delivery drivers rushed past. But I understand space is at a premium. I would just make sure those supplies are out of reach from customers for sanitation reasons. I cannot wait for another excuse to hit this place up. It has given me life. read more

Lilli & Loo - My GF pad Thai and my GF dumplings after my table mates each tried one. - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

It gets four stars because I do come here often and enjoy it every time I come. I don't venture through the meats though. I always order noodles or tofu plates and they don't disappoint. My favorite is the curry noodles because they are light and thin. The sauce on the Mee Goreng was not what I expected as I've had it before and it's usually spices not a heavy sauce. I'm weary of trying their sushi because they are a Chinese restaurant not Japanese. The bubble tea is delicious and frothy. It definitely adds the calories but the flavors are good and they are fast when you're on your lunch break. Not bad...not the best. But it'll do. read more

My first time going to Lilli and Loo and I chose it because it offers a gluten free menu (in addition to their full menu) and the location (near the 59th st. bridge). It was very exciting to see how tremendous their gluten free menu was, when so many other places offer a fraction of their menu to GF diners. I chose the boneless spareribs (yummy!) and the sesame shrimp. Shrimp was a nice size portion, a little gloppy, but lots of shrimp and lots of flavor. My friend ordered off the regular menu, having the corn/egg soup and the chow fun and she eat every morsel. In full disclosure, I left with a stomach ache. But that may have been because I ate it all, and I'd do it again. read more

Wow, what a find for safe gluten free Asian food! We ordered steamed pork dumplings (haven't had these since we had to go GF), boneless ribs, sesame chicken, vegetable fried rice, and a few sushi rolls. Delicious and no one had any issues. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to NYC! read more

Love this place! Perfect for a quick but delicious meal. My faves are the GF poke bowl, GF pan fried dumplings, and salmon love sushi entree. Also, this is one of the few restaurants in NYC that offers a gluten free option for just about every dish on the menu. read more

AMAZING gluten free options!! So happy I've found this place! And their to go orders are always ready so quickly and packaged very well! Will definitely keep ordering regularly. read more
