This place is a solid four and a half stars, but since I cannot do halves I picked a five star.
It was my boyfriend's birthday, I decided to come here as a surprise. I left him in the car and explained that I was doing a surprise dinner and the waitress took my order and sat us in a secluded area without a hitch. +1 Star.
Upon entrance into the dining room the perfume of a sweet curry fills your nose and starts your appetite. I had ordered two appetizers - pork satay and the summer rolls. The pork satay was beyond description - buttery and slightly charred - absolutely delicious. +1 Star. The summer rolls were crisp and fresh. The shrimp in the rolls were a beautiful pink colour and perfectly cleaned. +1 Star.
I had ordered two entrees - crispy duck and the pho dac biet xe lua. The crispy duck was very good, although the garlic was a little strong and the duck was not crispy. +1/2 Star. The pho dac biet xe lia was awesome! The broth with additions was flavourful and robust. It contained a generous portion of all the meats and delectable bits of tripe and marrow. +1 Star.
All in all, I have and will continue to recommend Lilly's to anyone who likes Vietnamese and Thai food. I myself will continue to be a patron.
