    Shrimp and broccoli pork fried rice, house special lo mein, pan fried wontons, chicken wings & pork fried rice, wonton soups, and donuts.

    Still my go to spot. Great lunch special, and easy to order online now, love it staff is very friendly and quick delivery. Adding picture for reference: I ordered Shrimp and broccoli pork fried rice, house special lo mein, pan fried wontons, chicken wings & pork fried rice, wonton soups, and donuts all during their lunch special. I believe I paid less than $40 for all of this. 3 of us and we had leftovers. All tasty, fresh and perfectly.

    Do NOT order food from this place!!! The delivery person shows up with this bag and tells me oh it's because the soup on top was heavy. When I opened the bag, well this is my dinner. Disposed of it immediately. Horrible food and treatment of customers.

    Top is hunan chicken and bottom is boneless spare ribs

    It's pretty great! This is the second time that I ordered and they knew my location because of the number that called which is great. It saved me time with telling them the address and number.

    Only thing missing my Asian plates with chopsticks-maybe next time:) Featured: General Tso's Chicken, Steamed Dumplings & Egg drop soup

    OUR SEARCH IS OVER...Since moving to Kearny in 2010 I tried several "so-called" good Chinese Food places and none even come close to Lily House. Finally!!! (I was spoiled with great options in all directions leading home when I was in Elmwood Park/Saddle Brook/Garfield) I was 1 try from commuting back North to my old faithfuls. We've been ordered from Lily House at least 3yrs now...I've jumped around the menu a few times and what I've tried has been continuously delicious. Favorites are: Fried Wontons and/or Steamed dumplings, General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Chicken Chow-mien, Beef and Broccoli, Shrimp in Lobster Sauce, Steamed Chicken, pork fried rice, white and/or brown rice, Egg roll, Wonton soup, Egg drop or wonton egg drop, crunchy noodles:) Their dishes are generous with the meats and not overly sauced & sloppy; DEFINITELY recommend this place!

    We ordered Singapore Mei Fun, which was spicy IMO, and General Tso Chicken - yummy - during a lunch. They are very good with timing, we were told to wait 30 minutes and food was delivered right in time. They charge $1 for delivery though.

    Ordered here for the first time because a friend told me it was a really good spot for Chinese. I ordered 2 lunch specials for me and my coworker and the lady said 30 minutes and the delivery came exactly on time. The food was really good, i would definitely order again. It may be my new Chinese food spot! I ordered beef with broccoli and fried rice, really good.

    Shrimp and broccoli with garlic sauce
    Kay J.

    Best Chinese food I've had in a long time. The food taste fresh and like actual food not mystery meat. I ordered shrimp with broccoli steamed with garlic sauce, it was great! The shrimp was awesome unlike other places! Will be my go to Chinese store from now on!

    Pork fried rice.

    It isn't very authentic Asian food. I wouldn't recommend if you are longing for Asian food. For something to go home it is fine I guess

    You definitely don't go here for the atmosphere-you go for the food. It was a cold night and I was…read morein the mood for some ma la flavors to get warm. I had seen this restaurant a couple of times so decided to give them a try. It is a small place, with four tables that seat four people, and a couple that seat two. One of the side walls is covered with printouts of a number of the dishes, which can be helpful for those that don't know what some of the dishes look like. There is only one person working both the register and the tables, so patience is appreciated here. Did I mention earlier that I was cold? We walked over from the parking lot under the highway (free on Saturday nights) and was very chilled by the time we entered. Cold and hungry, we ordered lamb with cumin and ma la pot chicken. My companion ordered snow pea tips and vegetable mei fun. To start, we split an order of pan fried vegetable dumplings. The waitress checked to be sure that we wanted all that food for two people-the ma la pot chicken alone is big enough to split between two people (or one VERY hungry person). Reassuring her that we wanted all that food, we settled down to wait. The dumplings came out first, and we are still trying to decide what the filling was comprised of. Carrots, cabbage and....daikon? Not sure, but it was delicious and increased our expectation for the rest of the meal. Next came the ma la pot chicken and I immediately understood why she wanted to confirm our order. I definitely was not finishing all of that in one sitting. The chicken had some lovely crunchy bits around the edges and while the dish itself is dry, the chicken was not. The ma la flavor filled my mouth and warmed my stomach. Lamb with cumin is a great dish to pair with rice, and half a bowl of rice was gone before I even blinked. My companion noted that their vegetable mei fun was flavorful and not oily although the snow pea tips could have been more tender. Overall, the meal was flavorful and a prefect choice on a cold night. I need to come back here and try out a couple more dishes that I usually order, and try a new one or two (spicy and sour potato, shredded???). Yes please!!

    Had the pork fried rice. Good arbiter of the food. Not bad but not my cup of tea. New to try the…read moreother offerings and maybe the stars will increase. Also no snark odd large size rice. Just one size.
