    Lily produces a top tier culinary experience in a romantic/moody setting. Rob, the chef, helped us find some menu favorites for our first time in his restaurant and the staff didn’t skip a beat with great attention to detail in dish timing and bussing. We tried the beef tare tare, Ahi Poke, chow fun & small bowls of the Beef noodle soup. The first two dishes were physically and mentally stimulating with large breakable house made crackers for scooping of the eclectic ingredients that all danced together in unison while still standing out individually for playful bites. The chow fun was an indulgent & richly flavorful dish with many satisfying textures. Finishing with the beef noodle soup was the perfect cap with it’s subtle comforting broth, bouncy noodles & tender brisket. The non-alcoholic beverages are a must try!! Do not leave without trying the Mango Passion Sinh To!!!! My wife and I have found a new favorite in the Richmond District.

    Great food and cocktails. The Thai shrimp with lychee was flavorful. I also enjoyed their Suan Lychee cocktail (Sabe vodka sake, lychee puree, lime, basil & mint leaves). Will definitely go back to try other dishes.
