First impression was very clean, small and quaint, about 6-8 tables. The booths had adorable over stuffed chinese characters to dine with. We were given menus with a bowl of peanuts, which were enjoyable to munch on while looking over the extensive menu. We ordered the Chicken Wonton Soup. The broth was delicious, and the wonton wrapper was like rice paper, very thin and pleasant, not a typical thick wrap that hides the flavor of the meat inside, which was a tiny chicken Meatball. Next were the fried pork wonton. Delicious. Again, the outside didn't over power the flavor of the pork inside, perfectly and evenly fried. Roast Pork Fried Rice was not typical roast pork, it was authentic and so good! Rice wasn't sticky, it was moist and delicious. I ordered the Lamb and scallions. This was next level. The amazing flavor and tenderness of the lamb. Not a store bought scallion with heavy onion flavor, this was vegetable-like. Lastly the Beef and Mushroom stir fry. Again, flavorful and tender, we would have preferred less mushrooms, more beef. Excellent food experience. Only negatives: Everything came out as it was ready, not in soup, appetizer, entree order, so the fried rice came out first, then an entree, then the soup.....And the service. Painful. The family sat at a back table on their phones and computers, not checking in at all for drink refills or even the bill.

10/10 this place is a must. The best hot and sour soup I've ever had. I'm highly impressed and recommend this place. The shrimp w bok choy and noodles was just as delicious. They should raise their prices honestly for the quality, I'll be coming here weekly. Plus the squishys are just too cute. The service is amazing. I'll be coming weekly for the hot and sour soup and to try everything on the menu.

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area and has the most authentic food. Every time we order something new off the menu, it never disappoints! Highly recommend trying the spicy items on the menu.

Haven’t been here for quite a while,somehow the business today was not as good as it used to be. But the taste of the dishes are still authentic! Everything were delicious and the experience was quite enjoyable for the whole family. They also have the lovely cushions on the benches which made my girl quite excited. Recommend everyone to come and support local business.

Hands down the best Chinese food in Long Island! As a Chinese American growing up eating home cooked Chinese food everyday, I was happily surprised by how authentic Lily’s foods are.

This restaurant is a must for anyone who wants to enjoy good, authentic Chinese food. I’ve been going to this restaurant for many years, and I’ve never once walked away disappointed. The people who work there are very friendly and accommodating as well. Give Lily’s Chinese Food a try, I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.

Eat here dozens of times. Best grilled lamb leg on LI. Served with hot steam👍🏻. Freshly-squeezed watermelon juice is the new arrival. Environment is always clean and good.

Best Chinese restaurant near Stony Brook! They open every day around 11 a.m. except Tuesday is 2 p.m. They provide dine-in options as well as delivery from UberEATS. Every dish is delicious and the best about this restaurant is that the quality of the food is stable and even better than before. Here is a list of recommendation based on my preference: 1. baby napa in duck soup (BEST!!!) 2. Sliced fresh beef with soft tofu in spicy mala source (this is spicy) 3. Stewed Trotter with Chestnut (this is sweet) For the Peking duck and lamb leg, you need to check if you have to reserve it a day prior to your meal. Another highlight is that they deliver the lunch combo to Stony Brook University which is only 10 bucks for a rice bowl + soup or 15 bucks for a special one + duck soup. Try the rice bowl of sliced fresh beef with soft tofu in spicy mala source! It is my favorite among all the rice bowls. Nowaday Juyoige is my routine lunch option. ;p

Our go to place for all things Sichuan in Suffolk county! Ju You Ge is a family owned business and you feel at home the moment you enter the restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing, we always sit on the U shaped couches with the soft toys. The food is decently priced too. The servers speak good English and will happily explain the menu too. The Mala Tang menu is a great choice here. Beef mala Tang, shrimp skewers, dumplings in chilies oil, Dan Dan noodles are a few of our favs here.
