The food is consistently delicious. The customer service is excellent. Lil and her team are so nice. I recently ordered Laksa but with wontons and they happily accommodated my request and it was absolutely delicious. Pad Thai is delicious and you might as well order a dozen spring rolls because you will not be able to eat just a few. They are that delicious. Enjoy!

Lil's portions aren't so lil and the food is delicious! I really enjoy her weekly specials and the Tom Yum soup is jam packed with flavour. If you wanna try something new, you gotta eat here.

The food here is so delicious and portions are huge! I had the chicken pad Thai and I had to get a to go container. Not to mention it was the best pad Thai I've ever had! My wife got the Singapore noodles and they loved it! Would 100% recommend this place, the servers we all so nice as well

A friend and I ate here during lunch on a Friday. It wasn’t crowded & we were greeted soon after entering the restaurant. I ordered Vegetarian Pad Thai without eggs and an egg roll. Everything is cooked to order and hot upon arrival. I wish there were more veggies in my dish, but despite that, it tasted great. It was covered in crushed peanuts when I first got it, but in my photo, they’re mixed in. Lil came out to make sure we were happy with our food. What a nice touch! The prices are decent & the portions are HUGE. I had enough leftover for 2 more meals! I can’t wait to go back. There’s a free parking lot on the side/in back of the restaurant. 👍🏼👍🏼 I brought my husband the next day and ordered a veggie spring roll & vegetable pancit. Both were delicious and the pancit was a huge portion. You’ll always have takeout here!

Such a cute little place, feels like you're eating in a family dining room beside the kitchen. Portion sizes were huge, and everything was so good. Lil is super sweet, will definitely be back next time we are in town.

We have eaten here at least a dozen times, not including ordering take out numerous times. We have tried many things from Lil’s menu, and we have loved everything. We always leave very full and with lots of leftovers, the portions are very generous. The customer service is amazing, everyone is so nice, they genuinely care for their customers. The food is made with love, we will continue to come back.

Got the Pad Thai and the Sweet and Sour Chicken. The Pad Thai was so gross and not even close to actual Pad Thai. Most disgusting sauce Ive ever tried. And I love Pad Thai. The S&S chicken was less gross but still not very good. I was very disappointed.

The portion sizes are huge! It was our first time there today and it was absolutely amazing, the service was impeccable. The food came out very quickly and was served nice and hot. Definitely eating here again and would highly recommend to anyone. Vegetarian options: They had a few vegetarian options as well which was amazing to see.

We chose this place because we wanted to eat a good dish that will go well with rice being asian . Walking from a free 2 hr parking lot nearby, the town was empty so we were surprised to see quite a number of tables filled with customers at 230pm. The serving wait time was reasonable, staff were courteous. We ordered their Lil s special fried rice ($17) which was tasty & had a lot of ingredients added like shrimps, pork, chicken, egg etc. Then we also ordered the deep fried spring rolls which were 12 small pcs per order of $8. and they were crunchy & delicious. We also ordered the sweet & sour pork with pineapple ($24) which we just found to be a bit bland. Basically it looked like boiled pork meat, sliced thinly into strips then added to a sweet sour sauce with sauted aromatics such as garlic, onion, red bell pepper & pineapple chunks.

Omg...I finally went to this lil Asian resto and I was astounded. Youd figure a place like this is not so well recognised for its amazingly delicious authentic food while place charge a high price for not that good food. This place gives you serving portion which are huge and I feel are so much needed. You will always take home some of it. Service staff were amazing and very personable. I just cant get enough on how good the food was. Beats even places like peace I would say...and coming from me....that says a lot. Check out the chicken fried rice and the chicken curry I had so far. Or the mushroom fried rice...I am gonna order this food so many times now...comfort food...this is where you get them.

I came in during the lunch-hour-rush, to place a take-out order. There was a bit of delay, but that was certainly understandable, given the hour of the day. The staff were courteous and very attentive. As for the food, I was ECSTATIC to see Filippino food on the menu!! My heritage is Filippino - not by birth, but through my parents; and I am always happy to see such wonderful cuisine, anywhere I go. This is a great place to eat. The staff are top notch, and the food is excellent. I will most certainly be back when I am in Sault Ste. Marie, ON, Canada, again. Highly recommend.

How do I write these folks the best review ever? What a gem of a restaurant in Sault St. Marie! The vibes in there are excellent, very quiet and comforting and nice natural light with gentle music in the background. The food is AMAZING. I would recommend the Pad Thai with some tea. The portions perfect/a bit on the larger side. Not too expensive. Flavors will literally bless your tongue. The ladies that work there are sweet angels. If you like Asian food, this is the spot. Thanks y all!

I hit this place for lunch today with a friend. We work downtown so it is a nice comfortable walk for us. I got the lils spicy noodle dish. It had chicken and shrimp in it and a nice level of spice (not too bad though). I also go 2 veggie spring rolls. The noodles were very tasty and well prepared. The spring rolls were crispy and delicious. I will be going back for sure. I am a big eater and I am stuffed.

A restaurant that is very much in the process of still getting settled into the space. It has a very mismatched home brew vibe to it but we will get to that later. Food is 6/10 for us. We ordered the wonton soup, $5, chicken pad Thai $10, and two egg rolls $2.50 each. The wonton soup was fairly lack luster, had an almost Campbell chicken soup broth and the wonton was very under seasoned. The predominant taste was salt, to the point the last 1/4 was a struggle to eat. It had very little texture or body. The chicken pad Thai was ordered at a medium spice, tasty, good texture contrast but fair sparse on other ingredients. Without the spice it would be very salt forward. Kind of middle of but would order again. The egg rolls were excellent for the most part and oddly light. The one downside because the filling was a bit more loose it was odd to eat at points. Drinks are pretty much a fail here. Unfiltered harsh city water and very bad coffee, by far the worst in the city. I could write an essay on its faults but will just say dont order it if you value anything besides the caffeine hit. Service was 7/10 attentive enough, fairly friendly but the staff organization was all over the place made you feel unsure where to start. Hopefully as the business matures it will sort out. Ambience 2/10 they have been in the spot for a few months but still feel very just moved in and there really isnt much decor to speak of. Mismatched basic plates, random things around and raw sound treatment on the walls. It doesnt really have a vibe that says come in and relax. Definitely more of a take out place feel. Over all we will be back to try a few more things and see how it progresses from here. Just will skip the coffee... Vegetarian options: They are available but I have not tried them myself. Parking: Local 2 hour free parking is near by behind the building as well as paid street parking in front.
