This place is amazing and they have a full GF menu (BACK AND FRONT!!) with so many GF options that you can’t find anywhere else. We had the shrimp tempura, pork dumplings, and beef kung pao which were all delicious. Highly recommended!!

Good Thai food, quick and easy. I wish you had more control over spiciness when you order (my Pad Thai had good flavor but zero spice). Can’t complain though, and didn’t get sick.

Lilli and Loo is amazing. Their GF food options are incredible. I found their gf dumplings a little thick and chewy, but everything else was delicious and scrumptious! I’ve eaten here a few times without a problem (other than overeating!). I’m a sensitive celiac and they take great care at L&L. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lilli and Loo!

Man if you miss fried food like tempura style and spring rolls, and even pork dumplings, they have them and they are highly competent! Very large gf menu.
Nice simple ambience. Good service.

The absolute best for gf Chinese in the city! They have set the standard and nothing has been able to come close. I will go here no matter where in the city I’m coming from, it’s 100% worth it! So grateful they understand and respect food allergies.

Great gluten free Asian cuisine!! I loved getting to have gluten free pork dumplings as an appetizer. For my entree I ordered Shanghai Noodles. Extensive gluten free menu so I’ll definitely be back to try something new on the menu too.

Such a treat to have some of my favorite dishes for the first time since my celiac diagnosis! The pan fried pork dumplings and the sesame chicken were my personal favorites. I will absolutely be back the next time I’m in New York.

Absolutely loved it! The owner of Lilli and Loo used to run my favorite Asian fusion restaurant in New Jersey. I was so sad when his previous place closed. I am over the moon to find him and his fantastic staff once again, back at it with an expanded gluten free menu that is delicious. For those of us with food allergies like gluten, milk, and soy, seeking Asian fusion cuisine in NYC, Lilli and Loo has to be your destination!

While the food was delicious my daughter who has celiac still got glutened. We put in our online reservation our needs. We confirmed the allergy multiple times with our waitress. And she still had the worst reaction from which she is still recovering. No chance it was from anywhere or anything else. So sad that this happened.

Been here a ton of times and they are very good with celiac. I wish they labeled their dishes GF VS normal because I get anxious they switch the dishes (they look the same)! But have eaten here 2-3x and haven’t gotten sick. I’ve had fried rice, noodles, pad Thai, and a few different starters

Lilli and loo has a full gluten free menu. The gluten free items dont even have an upcharge, same price as the regular menu. Though this place is a bit pricey. My daughter has asymptomatic celiac. We ordered toast pork fried rice, shrimp lo mein and pan fried dumplings. All dishes were delicious especially the pan fried dumplings. We will be going back for more.

This place was amazing! It was the first restaurant I’ve been able to eat real Chinese food since getting diagnosed a decade ago. We got pork dumplings and sesame chicken! Sesame chicken was breaded and cooked in separate oil from other glutenous items. Food was amazing and the staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free, they automatically bring out gf soy sauce instead of regular when you alert them of an allergy. I’d make a trip back to the city just for this place :)

This place has made a very solid rebound since they relocated. At the old spot I used to get cross contamd quite a bit. Happy to report I’ve eaten here many times as of late without much issue. once in awhile something goes slightly awry, but its never been bad enough to stop lollll. Just a touch of pain the next day. I think they’ve wisened up on how to actually do things more safely, at long last, cause I haven’t even had the slightest cross contam lately. And thank god cause it’s absolutely delicious and essential to my well being in life that I have Chinese food of this caliber

Insanely wonderful food, my non-gf family said my gf food was just as good as regular gluten Chinese food. It tasted just like I remember it tasting. The food came quickly, the service was great, and the sake we ordered was also some of the best we have all drank. Lastly, it was busy but we made a reservation so we had no wait. 10/10 I highly recommend and look forward to returning!!

We met some local friends for dinner tonight & had a great time! They had a separate gf menu with plenty of choices so we ordered a lot & shared everything family style. My favorite was the rock shrimp tempura appetizer, since I can hardly have that anymore. We also had the edamame, boneless bbq ribs, chicken salad wraps, pad Thai & chicken fried rice.

My celiac partner and I had a good experience here. Our main meals were mediocre and tasteless, but the appetizers and sushi with crunch were amazing. We will definitely be back, but only for sushi and appetizers. The pork dumplings were scrumptious. Prices were high.

Food may be GF, but it’s terrible. The Lo Mein was broken spaghetti with a few sliced veg and a tasteless sauce. Pork dumplings were mealy on the inside and had zero flavor. Disappointed for the cost of the items.
