Lili's 57

I have celiac disease, and as a New Yorker, have been mourning my favorite Chinese-American dishes since I got my diagnosis. Lilli&Loo has a fully GF menu with all the classics! We tried the spare ribs, dumplings, lo mien, house special fried rice, and sesame chicken. They were all excellent (and I haven’t experienced any celiac symptoms, so they are actually doing it right!) And for the first time since I started having to eat GF, I didn’t feel like I had to settle for second best due to my food hypersensitivity. This is definitely first rate, delicious, Chinese food and I am so thankful it’s here!!!

The best sushi I’ve had in a while. I’m gluten free and also can’t have sesame seeds. They have an entire separate gluten free menu! I felt safe ordering things which is usually hard at a Chinese restaurant since soy sauce has wheat. They use a different soy sauce for people with allergies. I would definitely return!

Excellent service and amazing gluten-free options for those with food allergies! I tried the pom-teriyaki grilled chicken with veggies, my Celiac husband got General Tso's, and we shared the pan-fried potstickers. WOW, I didn't even know potstickers this soft and tender (but that actually stay together and don't fall apart) and flavorful were even possible gluten-free. They were beyond tasty, and I'd recommend them to anyone! The only downside to this restaurant at all was that the tables were really tight and the music was a bit loud, plus the people next to us were so loud we couldn't have a conversation apart from them. I understand this is pretty normal as far as spacing goes in NYC, but we were visiting from out of state and weren't prepared for the close quarters. Still, the food was worth it, and if we lived closer, we'd be back. 🥟🥢
