| - Okay, so I hate to be the debbie downer around all these 5 star reviews....but I was not impressed with my first experience at Lili Café. I discovered this place on Yelp after searching for new vegan/vegetarian friendly restaurants in the area. They have different tofu and tempeh options that come in rice bowls and various sandwiches.
The restaurant itself is very quaint with a little patio area for outdoor seating. I stopped in 2 hours before closing and already, almost everything was out of stock, so I was not able to get what I originally planned on getting. Instead, I ordered the tofu banh mi, which to my surprise, was pre-made, refrigerated, and simply heated up when ordered. Call me crazy but I was expecting everything to be fresh. The banh mi came out half of it warm and the other half still ice cold. The bottom of the sandwich was soggy and the old tofu was completely dried out and chewy. I give them props for trying to stay true to the traditional banh mi ingredients. If it was fresh, it would've been 100 times better. While I was eating, there were about 10 flies trying to attack me for my food. The door was open so I guess it's unavoidable, but I'd like to enjoy my food without swatting flies away the entire time.
