I used to really like this place but when I took the lid off my beef & broccoli with lomein tonight I smelled a sour smell, almost like gasoline. When I scooped the lomein onto my plate, the smell was even stronger. I tried a few bites & it tasted off (this is something I’ve ordered before). Idk if it wasn’t fresh? Or the dishes they used to cook weren’t clean? Hoping I don’t get sick! This food isn’t cheap either. I spent $60 for myself & 2 kids.

1st. Place was 30° inside. Order wasn't ready the 30mins I waited before picking up. Watched them microwave the spare ribs, grab scoops of pre-made fried rice and fry them again. Total disappointment to a place that has been good... seems like old lilac blossom is back.

We finally found a good Asian restaurant. We get our orders to go. Many places when I tell them extra spicy sometimes I don't even get spicy. I believe this is our sixth time getting takeout and order was exact. Each time the quality of the dish was excellent.

This is NOT a typical greasy spoon, everything 10-15 minutes, takeout spot -
The food is always fresh & delicious.

It’s clean inside, the husband & wife are ALWAYS as friendly & accommodating as they can be, given the language barrier.

Their children are kindly & well behaved, & Zindy will help with translating when necessary.

This is my GO-TO spot when I’m craving high-end Chinese takeout, at a reasonable price.

Go ahead & treat yourself to Lilac Blossom!

Food was okay. I had to use the restroom and they wouldn’t allow me. I mean I asked, the person at the register straight up said “no”, and walked right back in to do her work. It’s a pretty basic thing and if you don’t allow your customers this, I don’t think anyone who has had this experience will feel like coming back. I don’t know what hurts them so much, really. Super disappointed!

Disappointed. Very greasy. Too much sauce. I was hoping based on reviews it would be just a good decent place but man what a disappointment.
