This is an asian fusion place right by the river in Basel. As it's typical for the area, they have a lot of fusion stuff. Is it the best asian food I've had? not by a long shot... but you have to come here with adjusted expectations. Everything in Basel is super expensive, this is no exception. The portions are super small for the prices you pay. Add on top of that that none of the dishes really feel authentic and you are bound to be a bit disappointed. With that said, the dishes here are lighter than most of the other food in Basel... they have lots of veggies and some healthy options as well (again, healthy might = small portions in this case). read more

I was happy to find this place. It's always a big roll of the dice when traveling and looking for good places to eat. Usually there is no shortage of Italian pizzerias on any given block, however Lily's was an unexpected and refreshing option. Outdoor seating on a warm afternoon and great service made for a pleasant experience overall. And the food! Asian fusion - and by Asian I mean all over Asia - lots of different influences, however mostly Thai. The Pad-we-ew was phenomenal and the flavors/spice were a nice change from the cheese and bread staples of Western Europe. Tempura shrimp, salad, spring rolls, dumplings, and a cold beer rounded out our meal and all were delicious. Save room for one meal at Lily's and get a little kick when traveling in Basel, SWITZERLAND. read more

Lily's Stomach Supply - Food is on the way... outdoor tables at Lily's. Also dog friendly! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Basle, BS

A reliable Thai fusion place right off the river in Basel. Environment is lovely with indoor seating or outdoor seating. When the weather is good. Tables are community-style with benches. Service is friendly & personable. International clientele so wait staff are all proficient in English. Good selection of appetizers: edamame, pork belly, naan. Edamame are solid and nicely salted. Pork belly is tasty but I admit I prefer my pork belly either braised to utter tenderness that just melts in your mouth or deep fried like cracklin'...this was sort of half-way between the two, so a bit puzzling to my palate. Naan was not very authentic--too thick and lacked the random burnt bubbles authentic naan gets in the oven. Yoghurt/cucumber dip was great--very refreshing. Papaya salad was crisp and just spicy enough. Not too fishy. Pad Thai was reliable, solid. Bean sprouts were crispy. Butterfly rice noodle salad dish was surprisingly refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day. Coconut milk dressing provides a nice tempering balance to the ginger. Mango bits were also tasty balance to the crispy cucumber/carrot curls. Highly recommend the ginger/yuzu spritzer--light, refreshing. It was cold, but not iced. I wonder if they would add ice upon request--with asking next time. They have a pretty interesting cocktail menu but I didn't try anything on it. read more

While I recognize that many (many!) people love this place - it's always packed and very noisy, I find it just ok. I've eaten in 2x and gotten take-away once. It's pure fusion - very common in Basel - so the menu is kind of all over the place (Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indian, etc.) and many of the flavors aren't that distinct. It's "seat yourself", so you're apt to be ignored - especially since, with the crowd, you are likely to go unnoticed as you walk through the door. As for the food sampled: 1. Fried whole fish - looked impressive and is one of the better dishes I sampled here. Note: this is not available for take-away. 2. Shrimp pad thai - without a doubt, the worse pad thai I've every had. Oddly off-putting bitter/sour flavors, not enough salt, gummy noodles. Yuck! 3. Massaman curry - very solid rendition and something I would order again. It's Switzerland, so expect everything to be way more expensive than expected. This place is no exception. read more

Lily's Stomach Supply - Whole fried fish - very good! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Basle, BS

I really love Lilly's (on the surface). The place is really nice, and had a great BoHo atmosphere. The service is usually pretty good. AND the Thai Iced Tea is so scrummy! I went here yesterday with a group of friends and had a Latte Machiato which is alright..not as good as Sutter or the other Basel cafes. But it was OK. Me and a friend decided to share a portion of spring rolls..and this is where the three star's come in. It was 13.50chf and when they arrived there were 5 VERY tiny spring rolls. They were about the size of my big toe!! (Which isn't really big). It was beyond disappointing. Plus there weren't really any vegi's in the spring rolls..they had vermicelli noodles and not much else. As far as value for money goes they are the worst..Mr.Wong's is better in this case. read more

This is a place I go back to every now and then as the food is good, not too expensive and you don't need reservations. You share a table with other people. Try the ginger lemon tea! read more

This is one of rare places you can have business/casual date lunch/dinner with friends or alone. Service can be slow depending upon how busy it is but friendly service. Most dishes are around 20-25 CHF and with one appetizer sharing and one drink, it usually costs under 40 CHF per person and you get full after dining. Not bad deal at all in Basel or anywhere in CH, unless you go for simple pizza or pasta only. It has separate simple take-away corner where you can get meal with grab-to-go condiments like soy sauce, chili sauce. * For some reason, I felt the portion size came a little more for dine-in. read more

Do you want really spicy Asian food? this is the place :) Of course, you have mention...you want Asian (or whatever country) spicy ;) otherwise you will get Swiss spicy .. So far, I have had Green thai curry with tofu (instead of chicken) and the Indian dish with puri. Both were wonderful and the quantity was enormous (compared to some other places). I wish they had more veg. options..... The staff is very friendly and will try to accommodate your needs though (like green curry with tofu instead of chicken). Now I go here almost every month. read more

Lilys is really good Asian fusion food, if you know what to order! Basically, the curry dishes are great, as are most of the main starters. Some of th items are not very good value, like the Roti bread (2.50 for 2 flour tortillas?) but the main dishes are reasonable. Great service, I like the decor, and right off th Claraplatz. Great casual spot to meet up with some friends read more

I joined two locals to eat at Lily's Stomach Supply on Sunday, May 18. Delicious food and great service despite being very busy with the dinner crowd. most places are closed in Basel on Sunday, but this place is thriving with people. read more

For Basel, Lilly's offers something different. Various Asian foods make up the menu. The papaya salad is actually spicey, as well as the whole fried fish. Both very tasty. The chicken satay comes with an overly sweet peanut sauce. I've been at Lilly's a few times & ordered various items & I've not been disappointed. The service is decent. It is seat yourself during the slower hours and "wait to be seated" during rush hours. You can ask for an English menu. A glass of tap water is 2 Swiss Francs, which is completely ridiculous. They do have an outdoor area during the warm months, although the smokers tend to hang out there. read more

I love Lily's Thai! A casual and affordable (which is unique in Switzerland) restaurant. The seating is banquet style, shared tables, which makes it very interactive and a place full of energy, again unique for the solemn and serious Swiss. The food is the highlight, spicy fusion, my favorites are the Curries, but anything I have tried has been delish! read more

How could anyone rate this place so high? This is not Thai but eclectic mix of Asian food. Very pricey and not so tasty not to mention noisy. I mean I can't believe how bad food tasted here. Those who like Thai food ought to check out hole in the wall Thai Cafe. read more

(Rather 2.5** than 3) Even though the broad selection of Asian Food (Thai, Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese, Indonesian) might sound tempting I do not recommend to go there. The staff is super nice and friendly but at the end of the day I think you mostly pay for the food at this kind of restaurants hence only 3** stars. Sorry lovely staff. The three of us each tried one dish: the assorted starters, Thom yum gung shrimp soup and salmon teriyaki. I had the salmon. It was good but to me the sauce and marinade was not really teriyaki. The slice of salmon was quite small and the plate was dominated by vegetables. They were mentioned on the menu but ordering salmon I mainly expect salmon not veggies. I tried the soup and again, to me it's not the original taste of a thom yum. I looove a good thom yum soup. But to get my love it has to taste of fresh ingredients that give it this special fresh sour taste and it has to be spicy on some level. Lily's soup was ohhkaay but not the right taste. Then I had a look on our friend's assorted starters and honestly pitied him: 2 falafels, 2 tiny spring rolls, a tiny bowl of salad and small satay skewers... I usually am a fan of assorted plates as to me it's first about taste and quality and only thereafter about quantity. I really did not envy my friend. Unsurprisingly our palate was a little unsatisfied after these meals so starter plate guy and I felt ready for dessert. We both chose the macha roll and that roll actually would give a 2** star rating justice: a naked plate, no decoration nothing and a 6 cm "roll" still wrapped in foil. Unwrapped it was nothing else but a waffle biscuit shaped like a tube and filled with macha cream. In a good tea house you might get that for free with your cup of tea... Totally doesn't qualify as a dessert, dear restaurant manager.. So instead of ending on a high note the meal ended with a single biscuit. I'm not going back there.. And again. I think only 2 stars might be enough.. read more

This is one of my few places I like to eat in Basel. The food is descent for an Asian Fusion restaurant. My favorite dish is the Lamb with Rice, Dal and Pappadam. The curries should include a scoup of rice. This place is full all the time. The prices are ok for people living in Basel but the prices are definitively overpriced compared to Noohn but then again all the dine in restaurants are about the same price and over... read more

Love their curry dishes n most of their appetizers n soup. Wouldn't get the Thai tea though it just isn't the same from we are use to in U.S. Don't think they used condensed milk. read more

Well... if you are asian and eat a lot of asian food, do not go to this place. We want to try asian food in Basel.... wrong decision. They have vegetarian bakut teh.... really? Bakut Teh? Vegetarian? read more

Interesting diversity of Asian dishes in a lively/casual setting.

Communal tables with Asian cuisine; mostly Thai. Very tasty and a good variety of dishes.

Fried rice is good with lime otherwise it's salty! Between this place and the Nooch, my vote go to the Nooch....just because they use less sodium. read more

I come here every time I pass through Basel. Good Asian food from a range of countries right in the middle of Basel at Clarasplatz. I love the options (all good), both spicey (yum!) and not. I have not found a better som tam, though I have searched. Seriously, try it! read more

If you go to Art Basel, World Watch Fair in Basel or other fairs and need to find something nice and quick to eat, this is the place to go. Casual eating with various types of Asian food. The Thai curries are good. I like particularly the Pad Thai! read more

Not the best place but def nice to get away from the standard heavy food you get in this area. Solid at best...

The atmosphere is ok. The food ok. Way overpriced. If you look for authentic thai food I wouldn't recommend this place. It's ok to grab something to eat if you're super hungry and on the way to the cinema which is in the same building. I once ordered the thai beef salad and was disappointed. The taste was ok but instead of calling it a beef salad they should call it an onion salad with a little bit of beef on top. The curries have nothing to do with real thai curry, it's more like a soup. And when you order the fried rice with shrimp, it comes with no more than 3 shrimps in it. The chocolate cake is very good though. read more

great place to eat for smokers and for people who have never had authentic Asian food - because if you have, then you will feel a bit disappointed with the taste and the quality of the dishes they serve at Lily's. For example, the beef pad thai is too salty (too much soy sauce -- the rice noodles got completely BLACK!!!!) The dishes at Lilys are definitely edible but by no means special/great. The atmosphere is ok. i guess one should not expect great atmosphere/service for this price level. it is a nightmare for non-smokers, though. I doubt that I'd visit this place again... read more

Asían fusión, brings diversity in Basel. Chichen cashew nuts is my favorito. It is pricey but all Restaurants in Basel are. Good option if you like Asien food read more
