" It's a lovely café with a nice atmosphere! I tried the tofu pho and the flavors were quite nice but maybe not too authentic compared to what I've had before. The portion size was generous, and the service was excellent. I see the potential for this place; just a few adjustments could make it even better. I'll probably come back and give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lilly’s is a nice cozy spot, perfect for small gatherings. We ordered a mixture of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. One dish that stood out was their caramelized tofu. The pho could use a bit more seasoning, although it was still enjoyable. The environment is pleasant and the staff treated us kindly. Overall, a positive experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were super friendly! I tried the spicy tofu dish and absolutely loved the flavors. My partner ordered the shrimp pho, which was equally delightful. The prices are incredibly fair for the quality and portion size. I'll definitely recommend this place to others looking for hearty Vietnamese comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Lilly's Café with my family, and while the atmosphere is delightful, the food did not meet our expectations. The pho was good, but it lacked the depth of flavor that I usually enjoy in Vietnamese broth. The service was friendly, and we appreciated how quickly the food arrived, but we expected a more authentic experience overall. I think I would consider giving it another chance, possibly on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a nice little place! I decided to stop by Lilly's after a long day of exploring New Orleans. The staff was welcoming, and the menu had plenty of options. I had the spicy tofu with rice, and even though it wasn't a traditional dish, it was remarkably tasty. The atmosphere provided a great break amidst the city bustle. I could see myself coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are into Asian fusion, you will love Lilly's! The food crossed several Asian cuisines, and while some items were a delight like the avocado spring rolls, I found a few dishes a bit off the mark. The service was fast, and the staff were friendly. However, I don't think it tastes like authentic Vietnamese food, so keep that in mind if you are looking for the real deal. Overall, it was a fun experience, just not what I expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family tried Lilly's last weekend, and we enjoyed our meal. The pho was enjoyable, the broth quite flavorful, but a touch on the oily side for my taste. The portion sizes were great, particularly for the price. We really loved the vegetarian spring rolls, which were loaded with fresh ingredients. I could see why other people rave about this place as well! " (*Curated Review*)
