It was a very decent Chinese spot. A little pricey for a lunch special. It ran around 24 dollars including tax - i had the Bento box. it was a filling lunch which included a Miso soup and Salad (carried ginger dressing.) The Crispy Seasame chicken was delightful and still don't quite understand how they got it so crispy lol. The issue I had was everything seemed to be a bit watery but didn't impact the taste too much. Some details needed to ironed out - my Sapporo beer was luke warm, so was my water and I wish they had soy sauce on the table. Service was swiftly, we love that. read more

This was a sort of business brief lunch. Met a colleague of mine at noon, weekday. It was getting filled fast. I reviewed the menu on my way there: sounded inviting but the actual dishes were just okay. They were freshly made given it just opened, but my chicken and vegetables left a greasy layer over my palate. Sign of poor quality oil. My colleague had a bento box. I noticed she ate all but the sesame chicken. The service was flat: order, bring food, give a cheque. But it is a fairly affordable lunch /dinner place on the UES, 61& Lex, so this sort of in-and-out ambiance/service to be expected. 3.5 stars. read more

5 stars for the GLUTEN FREE general tsos chicken! It was SO good, gf or not. We also had spring rolls which were good, pineapple fried rice which was just okay (wouldn't get again) and a gf chocolate cake that was good! Highly recommend, especially if you're gluten free and missing chinese food! read more

Overall: the food, environment and service was good. We had the gluten-free sesame chicken, General Tso's chicken, and steamed pork dumplings. Both chicken dishes were fine but if you are looking for an appetizer I would recommend avoiding the GF steamed pork dumplings - they tasted very doughy (wish I went with the fried ones instead). read more

Sigh, another New York place I NEED in Arizona. Never have I ever seen gluten free low mein EVER. And it was sooooo good. Looked and tasted just like the regular version. Also got the crispy orange chicken gluten free (not on the menu but they said they could do it for us). I've missed orange chicken. So crispy and tangy and slightly sweet. It came with orange prices and spicy pepper!! Also some broccoli which was nice and white rice. Also got the crispy spring rolls because can't get that gluten free anywhere else. Divine. Came out nice and hot and had the perfect crunch and a delicate sauce to go with it. Split all this with a friend and we had enough for another small meal each the next day. I will be dreaming of this meal for a long time. Huge portions. Came out fast. The fried food didn't seem oily and gross. Pretty nice restaurant inside as well. read more

If you or a friend are gluten free, 100% head to this place. A couple of my friends are celiac/gluten free and hadnt had chinese food in ages, so they were really excited and this surpassed their expectations! Took a while to get seated a bit past our reservation time, but once seated, food came extremely fast and service was solid. Lettuce wraps were amazing, sesame chicken was super good. The thai iced tea was a great refresher. We felt the lo mein was alright but not as amazing as the others. Overall it was great food and i never felt like i was missing out bc it was gluten free. Its a casual NYC spot filled with groups of people, so nothing too fancy. Prices and portions were solid too! Highly recommend if in the area and want some food that is tasty and will arrive fast once seated / ordered. read more

Great little spot with some solid sushi and gluten free Chinese food. Small but pretty clean with quick service. I do wish everyone's food came at the same time though. They had a full 15 minutes between the first dish and last delivered. We got the gluten free spring rolls and gluten free sesame chicken and it was really good! read more

Sushi was just ok. Service and ambiance was ok. Spicy Salmon roll was kind of junk. We should have kept walking. I wouldn't make this a destination. I wouldn't come come back either. NYC has great sushi this wasn't great. Recommend NO read more

The menu was pretty extensive, though it did feel a bit on the pricey side. Many of the options weren't all that different from what you'd find at a standard Chinese or Japanese takeout spot, but I suppose you're paying extra for the UES location and the polished, pretty presentation. Overall, nothing we tried was disappointing, but there are definitely other spots nearby where you can get more value for your money. read more

The absolute best for GF Chinese food! We got this for dinner as a delivery order. The packaging was great and it wasn't soggy like some heated and packaged food tends to get. Can't speak to the ambiance or the service necessarily, but the menu was clear with GF items and is definitely a place to add for the Celiacs! read more

GLUTEN FREE CHINESE FOOD THAT IS DELICIOUS! It is impossible to find delicious GF Chinese food but Lili and Loo have cracked the code. They understand how serious Celiac is and Sandy our waitress made us feel safe and taken care of. The restaurant is cozy and clean. The Sesame chicken was sweet and crispy, so were the egg rolls and the fried rice was amazing and the surprising winner? Their GF carrot cake and GF chocolate cake. I have also ordered delivery and it comes perfect and on time! read more

My friend is gluten free and recommended we go try this place out since they offered both a GF and a regular menu! We walked in and were seated right away by the door at a small table! The place was packed! Like I mentioned, 2 menu's & a drink menu! They only have beer, sake & wine! I ordered a glass of wine, kani salad & chicken pad thai, he ordered bbq ribs & GF shrimp noodles. The food was okay - it wasn't as tasty as I expected - maybe a little on the bland side? We asked for some extra soy sauce on the side! All in all, if you're GF & want Chinese food, def recommend you give it a try! Service was quick and all the people working were very polite and positive energy overall! read more

Needed some NYC styled Chinese food, specifically general tso's, ever since I had to go gluten free. This was incredibly crispy. However, the meal was extremely heavy and I was so tired afterwards. Service wasnt spectacular, they did their job and food didnt take too long. I also got the szechuan beef but this didnt particularly have the szechuan spice to it. Anyways, thankful theres gluten free options for asian food like this place read more

Delicious food, nice Service, nice prices. Some of my favorites are from every area of the menu, but whatever I've had here is delicious . Please see my earlier review for more details. The other night I went in and had some delicious wonton soup, crispy rice with spicy, tuna, one roll of spicy tuna sushi. And my pink lemonade, which I like a lot. Great food, great service. Food is served in a very timely manner. I really like it here. They also have a gluten-free menu with many selections read more

Does not match New York City's three Chinatowns in quality or quantity, but eminently serviceable, efficient, and clean -- and definitely deserves better than the Yelp 3.7 it has now. The separate menu for gluten-free, offering unusually ample choices, is a strong point for those who need gluten-free. read more

ordered their pork & wonton noodle soup recently and the broth had an interesting floral note. it makes me wonder if they steep the broth in jasmine tea leaves. whatever the technique, it gave this traditional dish a modern upgrade. service continues to be very reliable. read more

FOR ALL MY CELIACS OUT THERE GET YOUR ASS HERE NOW The inside was a little crammed but that's NYC for you so don't let that steer you away. We went at lunch time and seated right away which is good because we were excited to try but also sad because this place deserves more love Our waitress was very sweet and checked in on us when only necessary We got dumplings, lo mein, and general tso. My friend was so happy she was able to have all of that again because she hasn't been able to for years and it tasted GOOD I didn't get anything none GF so I can't comment on that department but for the GF food, GET IT !! read more

Lilli & Loo - Gluten Free Lo Mein Noodles - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

A gluten free Chinese place?!? We saw this place on tik tok and wanted to check it out due to my fiances gluten allergy. They have so many gluten free options it is definitely a must try place for any gluten free people. I rate this as I am gluten free. We started with the spare ribs and sushi roll. The spare ribs were good and probably the best thing we had. The roll was good but not spectacular. I wouldn't be mad about eating it again but wouldn't go out of my way to get it. We then split the lo mein noodles and general tso's chicken. For gluten free, these were very good. The chicken had a good spice on it. The lo mein were garlicky and cooked perfectly. For gluten free food, this was very good. I would give it 3 stars as regular Chinese food but if I had an allergy and didn't have too many options this gets a 4 read more

Hosted a small bridesmaid dinner here and the staff was very accommodating! Food portions were great and we enjoyed the variety of options. In terms of authenticity and deliciousness level, I saw some mixed reviews but I guess for my purposes as a host I was happy!

The food, ambiance, and service were all just ok. Definitely can find other better asian food spots in the city.

Delicious food and amazing service! Gluten free menu! My favorites were the pan fried dumplings and spare ribs!!

my favorite spot to take people after visiting the met! also amazing gluten free options

Extremely busy from the moment they opened, reservations are a must. The food was fine, if not memorable. What stayed with me from eating here was the feeling that we were bothering the staff with our presence. There was no warmth or welcoming here. Based on this alone I would not return. read more

We stopped in for a cold drink and an appetizer to share, we arrived shortly after 12 and the restaurant was quiet. The gluten free menu was expansive offering most classics like fried dumplings, fried rice, sushi, sesame chicken etc. We have a great gluten free chinese spot near us, so we decided to try something that they don't offer. We tried the pan fried pork dumplings. It came with a tasty dipping sauce. The pork itself was great, but the dough on our dumplings was undercooked. Fried side was cooked fine but the opposing side was thick and chewy and was goo on the chopsticks. Sadly this is the only food item we tried. Many others have raved about this place but we probably would try somewhere else next time we are in the area. I had a Cosmo, taste was off but drink was strong and it was $10 so a deal in the city. Staff was nice and attentive. read more

Ordered a few things on postmates - it was just ok overall. The food came pretty quickly. The beef noodle soup had a good portion size and nice broth, although the texture of the beef was a little gristly. The shrimp stir fry lunch special had good flavors, but it came with a small portion of shrimp and could use more spice. read more

Finally, A good new player in Chelsea! Nice renovation of bakery place, with beautiful softly lit Asian art back dining space, friendly & attentive staff, a bit higher 'Chelsea' prices but worth ambience; btw, seems food good, although alone 2X's I had only Shrimp & Pork bit spicy Wontons, which are very yum.

We happened upon this restaurant while walking around the city we decided to give it a try since the menu offered many options. I had sushi, Sexy Pink Lady roll; it was really fresh and so good! My friends had beef fried rice, shrimp pineapple fried rice, chow fun noodles and chicken teriyaki. They all thought the food was great. The portions are very nice, you won't leave hungry. Some of us shared a bottle of wine, they don't have a large selection but it was a good wine at a good price. The service was good, they quickly set up a table for 5 for us. read more

I have eaten here regularly (1 time/week) since before 2015, through 3 locations. Food has always been average, pickup troublesome. Today was profoundly disappointing. It will be a long time before I eat here again. Had a 12:30 meeting so ordered at 11:45. Pickup scheduled for 12:03. Actually got food after 12:20, late for meeting and had to eat through it. When I expressed disappointment I did not got apology or expedition. While they acknowledged I am (was) a regular, I got an argument. Don't need aggravation with my lunch esp as a historically repeat customer. Several other asian cuisine places with less drama (inc. across street). Bye-bye. This is Manhattan- time matters read more

I appreciate that this place makes my little one happy with dumplings and where I can eat Singapore Noodles without worry. It's an all time favorite dish of mine that I just need from a takeout place but more times than not, getting it results in a rash of sorts on my cheeks. So this place makes me happy. Inside is basic but meets my needs, it's clean and the servers do their jobs well. I would go back. I just haven't been able to make it to that end of town lately. read more

This was a perfect spot for a rainy day dinner. The service was quick and helpful. We got the Phoenix roll which was amazing, some of the best sushi I have had in awhile. We also got the Mongolian beef, which was flavorful but not my personal favorite. Gluten Free: They had a separate gluten free menu, with a very wide selection. They had many options for food I have not seen available gluten free in awhile. Staff was knowledgeable and I feel safe eating here, highly recommend. read more
