Lilly's Café - LA 70130

Let me say I was not my best when visiting Lily’s cafe but just what I needed after my wedding night! Cured the hangover right away with their delicious pho!! The broth was soothing and not overly salty and well balanced! The noodles were perfect and the meat ratio was generous! The bahn mi was also delicious with just the right amount of crunch and softness. The summer roll was also perfect, and again the ratio of filling was generous!! The restaurant got packed fast as this was around lunchtime but there were a fair number of customers getting carry out too! I would highly recommend getting there earlier if you can. Lily herself even came by to check on everybody and greeted everyone despite how busy it was!

The yummiest Vietnamese on magazine! The staff is friendly while they rush around assisting, giving out good communication to the people waiting and queuing at the door. I only have a pic of my completely empty plate because it was too good not to finish. I had the rice spicy chicken and it had a good heat, not too spicy.

Great spot with delicious food and even better value! Lilly’s cafe was a pleasant lunch affair for our group of six. We had a combination of summer rolls, fried shrimp rolls, and vegetable rolls. I had these for my main, the other people in my group had pho. We phoroughly enjoyed our food. A great restaurant to escape the typically greasy cuisine of the south. Highly recommended visit. Lilys have clearly won many awards for their outstanding restaurant (pictured). I have never particularly understood some of the more brothy Asian cuisine such as pho or ramen. I understand it’s nice, as people I’m with often request it, but to me it is somewhat boring tasting, and does not fit my typical meal time requirements. Certainly a suitable dish to be had when escaping from the heat.

I rarely eat Vietnamese food out being Vietnamese born nothing beats my mom’s food, however I had a good hunch coming across them on google, I was really impressed with their Pho broth (usually ruined with too much sugar) was warming and comforting. This is Authentic Vietnamese Owned and Run, really welcoming and friendly.

The Pho Combo is the best we've had and the spicy beef Banh-mi-Poboy is worth visiting New Orleans all by itself!! Wow, this place is amazing!!! The steamed pork dumplings were awesome and the grilled chicken salad was delicious, and that sweet and sour vinegarette, oh my, soooo good on the salad!

Really friendly people and profesional, but food (especially taste) could be better. We ordered pho and bun with pork. The pho noodle was too soft and the broth wasn’t beefy enough. The bun didn’t have enough veggie and the pork was not marinated well. If we could be blunt, they didn’t taste authentic enough to our liking. But we still appreciate their smile and friendliness. And the table across us was super loud we could hear their entire conversation. Not nice, folks. Lastly, the price listed wasn’t what we paid. All items were “inflation adjusted” (or so we think) by $0.4-0.6. It would’ve been great to know beforehand.

Lilly’s is such a healthy and authentic pho place. Super reasonable prices and a great selection of vegetarian options. The butterfly shrimp rolls with plum sauce can’t be beat! Also the lemon grass tea warmed me up on this cool fall day.

Such amazing food! Very authentic, and an extremely unique combination of flavors, but oh so good!! Very tastefully decorated little cafe with very nice folks working here. Make it a point to eat here pho sho (you'll understand after you visit here)!!
