Still to this day, the delivery is still fast. This is my to go Thai place when I'm home alone and got no food. I love this place a lot since the Thai food is very affordable. Almost all the main entree dishes are $13 when you select chicken. Thai iced coffee with milk is at $4.50, which is very affordable compared to other Thai places that are so expensive these days. Currently my favorite dish from them is the Pad Woon Sen, which consists of cellophane or glass noodles. It comes out really hot and fresh when I open the container. The noodles are really thin and soft. The seasoning of the onions and egg make it really good and you just cannot get enough and makes you want more. I lick and eat everything off the bowl when it comes to this dish. read more

Food was pretty good. I was really impressed with the summer rolls. If you are ordering take away or delivery you are all set. I walked in and immediately smelled fabuloso and my nose immediately wanted to leave but I gave it a try. The service was wonderful. read more

I got delivery on a snowy day and the food was still quite decent! It took a while but thank you for delivering. They were quite reasonably priced at $13 per entree and I got 2 pad see ews with tofu. I wasn't expecting a lot to be honest but good if you're looking for a decent price! read more

*DEAD ROACH IN MY FOOD* I visited here for a quick lunch date yesterday. I ordered a Pad Kee Mao and half way through eating I discovered a medium-sized dead roach with it's full body in tact. I immediately spit out what was in my mouth and, after confirming what I was seeing, notified our server. That was the extent of the response: no manager came over, no sincere apology was offered, and there was no acknowledgment of how serious and unsanitary the situation was. Finding a roach in food is not a minor inconvenience, it's a serious health and safety issue. As a business owner, I understand the responsibility that comes with serving the public. There is an obligation to ensure cleanliness, food safety, and proper customer care when something goes wrong. Will not be visiting again. read more

I was craving for simple Thai food and nothing had to be unique, so I decided to place an order for delivery from Lily Thai restaurant. - Thai Fried Rice with Pork, White Rice: I actually impressed with this dish because the rice cooked perfectly not too soggy and taste better than my expectation. 9/10 - Yum Koong Grilled Shrimp: shrimp was too dried 6/10 - Pad Thai Shrimp: as I don't have a high hope on Pad Thai in US as long as it is not too sweet, I'm ok. 7/10 In my opinion, this place is good if you want to have delivery order. I walk my dog by the restaurant often and doesn't seem to be a special place to sit and eat. I love fancy place but sometimes I want something simple too so this restaurant will be in my easy and simple list. read more

The free mushroom soup tasted like nasty unwashed mushrooms. The lunch special is cheap for the area but the food is not very good. The only redeeming thing was that it only cost $10 for lunch read more

I liked the pad thai, tofu, and soup i got. My friends all enjoyed the meal, there was only one other table seated so i guess its not the norm for dine in. Service was nice and quick, everything tasted good. I knew this place because I previously ordered online and it was great through online but i think better in restaurant (more fresh, fried tofu didnt have to sit in a container, and pad thai seems very pretty lol) Would recommend and would come again. And for the prices, you really cant get better. read more

Solid Thai spot. Iv ordered from them three times already and they have been consistently great. I get the masanum curry and spring rolls. The portions are great and it's super tasty. read more

Went for the lunch special got a phad Thai , Thai iced tea and spring rolls for $21 Going back I'd just grab the phad Thai lunch special with the salad it was delicious Phad Thai Was piping hot full of peanuts , very yummy, the spring rolls where skinny and came with 6 I believe (kind of underwhelming) Thai iced tea was exactly what you'd expect and they didn't add a sh** ton of ice like some places do Would be a 5 star rating if the price was a bit lower or if I had just gotten the phad Thai - the reviews saying this place is not so great are bs or from 5 years ago read more

Lily Thai - tray of noodles and salad - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Got this as a random take out one night, did not disappoint. Curry puffs were amazing, flavorful and substantial filling. Pad woon sen was good, not the best I've had but not the worst. Delivery was quick. Would definitely order from here again. read more

Lily is one of of my go-to takeout spots. The prices are decent and orders are usually ready to go in a few minutes. I love the panang curry and the noodle dishes are great as well. Last time I treated myself to spring rolls and was pleasantly surprised it came with 4-5 rolls, however the filling was pretty skimpy. Hot tip: if you order through their website they will email you a discount coupon afterwards which is always a surefire way to get me as a repeat customer. read more

This is my favorite Thai food in nyc. I drive back from upstate ny now where I moved just to get food here. I usually get the Massaman curry because it actually tastes like curry from northern Thailand. read more

I got the Pad Kee Mao lunch special for pickup. My food was ready quickly and I had no issues picking it up. The meal itself was alright. I felt like it could use a bit more flavor. The portion size also seemed a tad small, but for $9.53 in New York City I'm still happy with it. Overall, I would go back again if I was in a pinch and needed a quick bite. read more

Lily Thai - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Got takeout from here and I must say I am generally selective when it comes to Thai food. I usually find a spot and stick to it but this place was delicious. We ordered the spring rolls and were pleasantly surprised when we received 5/6 little spring rolls instead of the 1 we thought we would receive. The spring rolls were crispy and flavorful. The Pad Thai with chicken was great. Not too greasy like some places and just enough food to fill you up. We also ordered the Thai Fried Rice with chicken which is a spicy fried rice. It was not overly spice but just enough spice to satisfy you. We also ordered the chicken wings and while I did not have any, I was told that they were spectacular. I would definitely order from here again! read more

This is my go to Thai restaurant not only for its great affordable pricing as so many restaurants in Williamsburg are now so pricey. This restaurant keeps the bar high with good quality for a decent price. I likethat they reached out to me by phone to confirm my off-menu item. You guys should definitely add the pineapple fried rice back please. Favorite dishes beef pineapple fried rice, their Chicken Pad See Ew is my absolute fav and their chicken pad Thai is amazing. You will not go wrong with orders from Lily Thai. Thank you for always providing us with a great meal! read more

Lily Thai - Pad Thai Lunch Special ( ONLY Mon-Friday) - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here on a weekday for a late lunch. The restaurant was empty but they were sending out a steady stream of orders for delivery. I ordered a lunch special of red curry with rice and a salad; also got an order of wings to start with. The wings were fresh and had a hint of heat. It came with about 5 pieces -not whole wings. The starter salad was delicious and had a light housemade chili dressing. It was the perfect start. The red curry was a generous portion for lunch and was hot and delicious. The service was wonderful as we were the only customers in the restaurant. Really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and will def be back. read more

We've been coming to Lily Thai for over 20 years and mostly have been satisfied. Tonight we ordered a takeout dinner including their Duck Tamarind entree, which costs $18. The dish, which we've ordered many times before, is supposed to consist of half a duck, but the portion we got tonight was at most one quarter of a duck. Furthermore, rather than consisting of slices of duck, we received a dish containing mostly small bits and ends. When we called to complain, the person on the phone was completely unapologetic and asked: "what do you want we me to do about it?" He claimed at first that it was half a duck, but waffled and then admitted that it was less than half. Above all, we're disappointed because this is a restaurant we really like. read more

Lily Thai - bowl of cooked beef - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I don't think it's fair to give a bad review for this restaurant as I can't fairly judge yet but my first order was not good. $6.50 for crab dumplings - I thought they would be something interesting but they are literally just Japanese shumai. Taste like the cheap ones you get at the cheap Japanese place down the street. Disappointing and not worth the money. Also got the pad woon sen. Not very good. Not good at all. But the soup that came with the lunch special was tasty. Mainly just broth but good broth. Will order again and try the big soup. read more

A very very solid place. The food is cheap and reasonable. Free delivery too (but with a reasonable 'convenience fee'). Delivery man is a chirpy sweetheart so tip well. Food is amazing of course! read more

Good is 4.5/5! The -0.5 is for the sweetness of the ribs. While the ribs are extremely tender and melt in your mouth, it's very sweet. The Thai sausage came w limezoieces, chilies, small dice red onion read more

Food was good. Nice shy guy working there. They put a lot of tofu in the curry which is rare and therefore so so so so appreciated! Will be coming back if I'm around. Reasonable price, got a curry and split an appetizer with a friend and we both paid under 20 dollars I believe read more

A friend came over for a Friday night hangout and after the day I had; I needed THAI! He had a favorite spot in the neighborhood when he lived here a while back and we decided to stop into Lily Thai. We waited roughly 20 minutes after placing our order...and there was NO ONE THERE. It was completely empty. Our appetizers arrive; chicken wings and spring rolls. Those spring rolls were super tiny not enough to feed a grown hangry adult. The chicken wings were pretty good but didn't have enough sauce! I was wanting more... Minutes after our entrees arrive; chicken pad Thai and spicy Thai fried rice with pineapple. WOW. Can't believe I'm saying this...but..the chicken pad Thai is BETTER than Mr Thai! Don't tell them I said that! It was absolutely delicious and I would've cleaned the plate but was sooo full! Other than waiting a bit too long, this place stole my heart with the best Thai food in NYC read more

I just moved into the neighborhood but have already ordered from this place twice! It's a no frills Thai restaurant located in east Williamsburg that apparently has been around for a while. Since I ordered during the pandemic they're only allowing pick up from this restaurant. I ordered the pad thai and pad se ew dishes during my visits. Both generous portions and made well. The prices for these dishes are great too! I'd definitely order from here if you want a hearty portion of the Thai dishes we all know and love. read more

Always great food! My favorite Thai in the hood hands down for the past 15 years!! Totally recommended.

The lunch special is a steal, but given the competition for thai food in all of NYC including Brooklyn, there's just no reason to settle for mediocrity. My barometer is always the Pad Kee Mao (spicy noodles), and it was a disappointment here. It was drenched in oil, and with ground chicken instead of nice pieces of chicken; something I hadn't seen in this dish before. The decor is nice, and service friendly, but I'll probably go a little further for thai rather than return here again. read more

Lily Thai - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love the location and the atmosphere is very calm. The service is also excellent and very attentive. I used to be an avid Thai food eater and I do enjoy cooking it at home. But, since it is so simple to make, I have a problem paying so much for it. Our bill for two people here was about $87 before tip. We ordered a leaf wrapped fish dish that was $19, it was very delicious but very expensive. This was the best dish ordered. We had the Curry Puff appetizer and it was very sweet. The Duck Salad has really old and tough duck meat on top, more like duck jerkey. I also ordered the Red Curry with Tofu, which was about average. The jasmine rice was a little mushy. The Chocolate Lava cake was overcooked, so there was no lava inside. I also had the fried bananas with ice cream, this dish would have been better with coconut ice cream, or something with interest. read more

I was really pleased with this place. Definitely on par with Sri, right down the road. Although, it's really funny to me (and very telling) that Sri has become the standard to which all other Thai places are judged. The nice thing about this restaurant as opposed to Sri is that there is actually a place to sit. Imagine that! Instead of sitting at one of just a couple 2-seater tables, Lily Thai has tables that can comfortably seat a group of 4. There are roughly 10 tables, as opposed to 3 or 4 tables. You do the math, but this is a much better option if you're out with more than one friend, or at least one friend who enjoys their personal space. The ambiance is also much classier. They have cloth napkins, glass cups, and a waitress who speaks perfect English. Unlike Sri, she is not the line cook. Service here was attentive and pleasant. My entree was also much cheaper than most Thai places. It was $9 for vegetarian duck pad kee mao. Perfect levels of spicy, and very well cooked. When she first brought it out, it almost looked burnt, but I think that it was smoked to give it extra flavor? Regardless, it tasted great. The portions were a little smaller, but I actually prefer that because it saves room for dessert! I had the lychee ($4), which I've never had before. It came in a large wine glass and tasted a lot like pears. Not overly sweet, and the perfect compliment to a moderately spicy dinner. If you're never had it either: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lychee http://thaifood.about.com/od/thaicookingessentials/ss/lycheefruit_6.htm I'm a fan of both Williamsburg Thai places, but I'd say go to Lily Thai if you're getting anything other than takeout. read more

Such reasonable take out! The Pad See Ew and Pad Thai were just right in terms of portion, and were packed with flavor instead of being dry which some Thai food tends to be when delivered. The chicken chunks were also very generous, with each dish only being around $9 - would definitely order again! read more

Just went here and was impressed. Pros: 1. Forks, not chopsticks = the owners/cooks are probably actually thai. 2. M asks about Thai Coffee and is given a sample - a healthy wine glass size one free. 3. Pad Kee Mao ($8.50) with beef was solid. NOT greasy. Right amount of spices, plenty of peppery beef, & lots of veggies - bell peppers, onions, jalapenos, tomatoes even (which weren't bad surprisingly). The chicken one came with more noodles and less veggies. Cons: 1. Lighting design. We ate in. It's a long narrow restaurant so where the tables are there are no windows - and there are dimmed recessed lights above. Fine for us as we all got dishes under $10 but if I was going to pay more, I'd like a better ambiance. 2. M had the Pad See Ew which was semi-bland. Tasted the same as Pagoda Thailand and Siam Orchid. read more

Lily Thai - Sweet Thai Coffee. - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

With all the Thai food in and around Wburg I'd say this will have to be a hard pass. The shrimp tasted extremely odd (not like any crustacean I've eaten but more like something I've never put in my mouth nor want to ). After eating the "curry" (more like water with color) my stomach began the most intense uproar I've ever felt. Luckily no food poisoning to report. I'm not sure what's going on here but one red flag is all I need. Overall you've been advised, proceed with caution. Why the three stars, delivery was well within the delivery time, food was piping hot and the spring rolls (although filing is non-existent) were the highlight of that ordeal. read more
