Lillie's Asian Cuisine - Lake Charles

My experience here today was not a pleasurable one. I ordered the Pho and while the broth was good the basil and bean sprouts looked to be at least a week old and a prelude to a bad case of diarrhea. My wife 's wonton soup had no wontons but some dumplings or gyoza. So disappointed as past experiences were better. The Manger Craig seemed irritated and almost confrontational saying that 's the way it is. He did offer to bring something else and my wife ordered the Orange Chicken which was good. I opted to not order anything else as I 'm leary about that sort of thing if you get my meaning. We had the egg rolls as an appetizer and they were good and recommended. I would have liked to order sushi but unfortunately don 't serve that before 6pm, sigh...just disappointed. I don 't recommend this restaurant in the Golden Nugget at Lake Charles choose another...please.

I was there last night for my birthday since we just had arrived to lake Charles. My experience was awful I don’t wish it upon my worst enemy. From the moment the server took our order and brought our drinks we never saw her come back up to our table until we flagged her down because we needed a drinks refill. We waited over 50 minutes for our food and despite we had someone in our group with a pork allergy the appetizer never came out. Since that was the managers excuse as to why our food took forever. Our food came out 10 minutes after we got the manager involved. Nobody came to check up on us after the fact, our server was more focused on closing down her section , I hope she was able to get out on time. No apology from management, lack of accountability and self awareness from the manager and the staff. Very disappointed, the food wasn’t even that good the temperature was off, the chicken fried rice tasted generic and bland. After waiting 1hour we had no choice but to eat it like that. Never coming here again! Honestly I’m better off eating frozen Asian food from the grocery store than to come back to this horrendous place!

This place has delicious food! The calamari is so good. The drinks are pretty good as well. Some of the waiters are great and others not so much. My appetizer was sent to the wrong table and she never realized I didn’t ever get my appetizer. Didn’t apologize, all she said was “My bad”… I’ll make sure not to have her as a waitress next time I stop by. Other than that. Everything else was great.

I had a pleasant experience at Lillie's and really enjoyed the Thai Shrimp Salad. The description is in the photo from the menu and the salad is absolutely excellent. Fresh mint, thin sliced broiled shrimp, onion crunch and many more delicious items. I had the Godzilla roll as well, which was very good. At times the right chef will make the Godzilla No rice, but they all manage a reduced rice version.

The food is good. Very over priced. Open concept atmosphere. The food is good. Not great but good. They have a vast menu with lots of variety. Pho, sushi, sashimi, stir fries, pad Thai, Chinese American take out, and much more. The staff works quick and are very polite. We had absolutely no issues. It is however an open area, directly next to the casino. This means people starting at you and walking directly up to your table while your eating. This also means a mouth full of cigarette smoke as you take a bite of your food. Not my favorite place but no real complaints.
