Food was blah. Too much vermicelli in the spring rolls and not enough flavor. Same with main dish, chicken was overcooked.

Saturday buffet is eat in or by the pound. Three of us stopped in last Saturday food was excellent and she does all the cooking. If you can tip well, she deserves every penny!

This was a perfect stop to grab takeout and go to Castle Danger brewing post hike. Lots of options!

The food was amazing and the food servers were so polite and were understanding when I needed to run to the car they said ok and when I asked them a question they answered in a kind way and they have good boba and me and my sister liked each other’s boba instead 😋

Great food- has many gluten-free and vegetarian options. I had Szechuan tofu which comes with a nice variety of vegetables. The medium spice was a nice hint of spice without burning my mouth. My husband enjoyed the chicken Kung Pao. What he noticed initially was it was not deep fried. Service was also great; very friendly and helpful.

We discovered Lilly’s last year and came back hoping it was still there. The pad Thai did not disappoint! Very flavorful.

The food was good, but the wait was quite long. When we ordered online from website we did not know we would be texted and when we went there at the estimated time, we were not served our food and were made to wait. An hour for an order with two entrees seem like a long wait to me.
It’s a small restaurant that has a Buffet during my trip. There was only 1 person working so the service was a little spotty meaning it was hard to get a hold of her because she’s probably cooking to refill the buffet line. They also do take out orders as well. The food was pretty good considering what I just mentioned. There was outdoors seating which I took advantage of. Parking from what I can see is slim pickings unless they have parking out back. I was there traveling via bike. Overall considering everything it’s not a bad place. It’s very subtle good. You’ll have to ask for water which we were provided with bottled water which is not too bad. The plates and utensils were paper plates and plastic forks and spoons. The Pad Thai wasn’t really flavorful but had big shrimps.

Prices are kind of steep but the food is good quality. Not a sit down place, just for take out. Will purchase again.

My wife & I are not Two Harbors residents, but our daughter lives in Two Harbors. We have given Lilly’s a try twice….once for last summer’s visit & this summer. We have been disappointed both times. I love salt, but Lilly uses an overabundance of it in every dish I’ve tried so far. For the cost of food, the portions are much smaller compared to traditional Chinese restaurant cuisine. The food also taste different than what I’m used to eating and can’t quite figure out what spice or flavoring she adds to make the meal taste dissimilar than what we are used to. I ordered a quart of pork & shrimp wonton soup and when we arrived home the quart was 2/3 full; short of at least a cup of chicken broth. They are the only Chinese restaurant in Two Harbors I believe….so if you are willing to drive to Duluth and try another highly reviewed Chinese restaurant, you’ll have to do so. On a good note, the staff seem friendly and I get the sense they aim to please. All in all, I’m disappointed & likely won’t return to try another dish for a third time.
Parking: The number of parking spaces on Lilly’s lot looks to be around 3 spaces. You can park at the Vanilla Bean restaurant parking lot. However, the VB has posted signs saying VB parking only. Lilly’s “is” wheelchair accessible .
