Our go-to place for Vietnamese since she opened. The best place for Vietnamese food in the lower garden district.
Couldn't wait to go there, always a great bowl of Pho. The owner and staff are so nice it's fun just to walk in. The area I'm staying in Pennsylvania finally got a Pho shop, before that it was a 1 hour drive to get to one. So needless to say I was looking forward to Lily's.
Food was delicious and service was fast and friendly. The spicy tofu was some of the best flavored tofu I’ve ever had and the fried tofu egg rolls were crunchy, and delicious and served with a fresh plum sauce that was outstanding. The flavors were all interesting and well balanced. Will definitely be back!
Lily is a fantastic person. Her customer relations skills are top-notch. 👌🏽. If you love Vietnamese food, this is the right place to get it.
This is such a delightful place with a floral ambience and good basic Vietnamese food. We enjoyed the rainbow roll, tofu bahn mi, and two bowls of pho tai nam. It’s so soothing to be able to drink beef broth and to pile on the bean sprouts and basil leaves. I’ll come back any day.
I have found my new neighborhood Pho place! So excited! Ordered the shrimp pho with dumplings....delicious! Broth was so flavorful. The cafe is on the smaller size & cozy.
The service was quick, efficient & friendly.
The best pho ever! It’s evident that the broth is made from scratch. Between the pho and the Vietnamese iced coffee, Lilly’s is easily our favorite place to go when we need to shake back. The customer service is always top tier— without rushing you, they get you in and out; so it perfect for lunch.
ordered the following:
spicy tofu with steamed veggies
steamed veggie dumplings - see picture
crispy fried egg rolls (vegan)
chrysanthemum tea, sweetened
THE DUMPLINGS ARE AMAZING!!! Lilly’s never misses. Staff are all sweet and kind. Great environment. Highly highly recommend. I love coming here. Food is OFF THE CHARTS AMAZING
Absolutely loved this place and the expansive variety of food they offer! We tried the pho, bun (noodle salad), bahn mi and taro spring roll appetizer. Everything came out so fast and fresh; the experience was quintessential Vietnamese comfort food. They are very vegetarian/vegan friendly. Flavors are on point, I highly recommend any protein cooked with lemongrass for fresh aromatics. I will say that I preferred a noodle dish over the sandwich as the bread was a little tougher. Either way, this place is a Vietnamese staple and a must try in Nola!
Top place and the best pho I've had since visiting Vietnam! Plenty vegan options, beautiful setting and service was super friendly, attentive and quick!
Also loved the watermelon bubble tea. Delicious and refreshing!
Lily’s is fantastic! It has a warm and inviting vibe! I love that you feel like you’re with family. The decor is very late 90s/NY/kitschy cafe decor and filled with floral decor and interesting wall decor. A great menu of Banh Mi sandwiches, soups, salads, iced teas, juices and coffees. Try the lemongrass chicken Banh mi. Award winning spot and I see why! You won’t be disappointed with this place!
Excellent. I had the shrimp and avocado salad and it exceeded my expectations by a mile. Fast and friendly service a huge plus.
This time back I had the spicy tofu appetizer and the pork dumpling soup. Both were good.
The Pho with brisket and meatballs was great, I did the add quail eggs and shiitake mushrooms. Excellent.
Try the butterfly shrimp rolls they are very special!
