" Lily's has a cozy, homey atmosphere paired with gorgeous Vietnamese subs that fill my cravings every time. The beef satay sub is divine—everyone should have one at least once! The fresh ingredients shine through, and you can tell that they really care about the food quality. My only complaint is the wait time during peak hours, which can stretch out a bit too long. But honestly, it’s worth the wait for such delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Lily's after hearing amazing reviews, but my experience fell short. I ordered the chicken sub expecting juicy, fresh meat like described, but it was dry and bland. The bread was fine, but I wanted a more flavorful meal. Their iced Vietnamese coffee was refreshing though. Maybe I'll give them another chance with a different order. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! The moment I walked into Lily's, the aroma of spices enveloped me, and I couldn’t wait to sample their menu. I went for the 'Lily’s special' sub and it was phenomenal! Each ingredient was meticulously chosen, and the layers of flavor complemented each other exquisitely. The service was also impressive. The lovely lady at the counter was friendly, welcoming, and made excellent recommendations. It felt great to support a local business that genuinely cares about their food and customers. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly disappointed! The meat used in the sub I ordered tasted stale and unappetizing, while the bread was not fresh either. Thankfully, I had spicy sriracha to load it up with flavor. It felt like a hit or miss, but I think my patience for trying again might wear thin. The service was excellent, but sadly, that couldn't save the experience. My supreme hope was for a flavorful meal, but it fell short. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the BBQ pork sub yesterday and absolutely loved it! The bread was crispy, and the flavor was so rich I could eat it every day. The atmosphere was cute; perfect for grab-and-go. The staff were super friendly, which made me feel welcomed. I will absolutely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found this place through word of mouth and I'm so glad I did! I tried their beef sub and it was everything I hoped for. The balance of fresh veggies and tasty beef was incredible. Just the right amount of spice made it a star on my list. I have to say, the staff made my experience even better; they were so welcoming and cheerful! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are craving real Vietnamese food, Lily Vietnamese Submarines is the place to go! Their banh mi is absolutely fantastic, with fresh ingredients and a perfect balance of flavors. The bread is soft yet crunchy, and every bite bursts with flavor. Just the right amount of pickled veggies and sauces that remind me of my time in Vietnam. They have very friendly staff as well, making the experience even better. I can’t wait to go back for another delicious sub! " (*Curated Review*)
