| - Lilly's Thai & Vietnamese is a nice little Thai restaurant tucked away in a small shopping center. The atmosphere is nice and laid back with plenty of space. They serve wine and beer. Overall my experience here was pleasant, mostly due to our server. However, I have mixed feelings about the Thai food here. Let's get started.
A friend and I ordered the Sam Rot with chicken ($9.95), the red duck curry ($16.95), and the Lilly's chicken wings appetizer ($6.95). I have had Sam Rot before, so my opinion probably isn't well educated here, but it seemed like a sweet dish. It was lightly fried and served with a sweet slightly sour and savory sauce. It was well prepared, no grease, and had a nice light (although sweet) flavor. Interesting, but not overly impressive. The Lilly's chicken wings were well done as well, but again lightly sweet. The style seemed slightly Chinese. They were good though so no complaints. The duck curry is where I had a little disappointment. The serving at first seemed large enough, but upon further examination there was very little duck for the price. A well known Thai restaurant nearby has three times the amount of duck for nearly the same price. The duck itself was tender and not gristly. It was well prepared. The curry was very light on this dish, and used more like a sauce. It had a good flavor but was a little bit too sweet. The cooked veggies were good but nothing to rave about.
Overall this is a decent Thai restaurant. Would I return? Well the menu is large, but the food seems a little too sweet for my Thai tastes. I would like to explore some of the other menu items though.
