Lillie’s Asian Cuisine

Overall a pretty good experience. We had teppanyaki and the food was very good. The appetizers were on the small side but our chef was funny and playful. We sat at a table with some other people who had no interest in talking to us so we just talked amongst ourselves and enjoyed our food.
The cocktail menu was limited but there is a nice selection of beer and wine. Next time we would like to try the sushi.

Wow what a pleasant surprise! Authentic Chinese food in the heart of downtown Las Vegas! I was shocked because I saw the 3.5 star rating on Unilocal and wasn’t expecting much but wanted to eat some Chinese food while hanging out on Fremont St. So glad I took a chance on this one!
First off the service was phenomenal. Adam was super friendly and had some great food selections. He recommended the sea bass and I’m sure glad he did. The sea bass was amazing! Perfectly steamed and dressed with soy sauce, green onions and ginger. Just the way I like it and how my grandma used to make it. Yum yum yum!
We also ordered the beef brisket and tendon noodle soup. The noodles were cooked just right, the flavor of the broth was nothing short of spectacular and the tendon and brisket were tender. Just amazing.
I will be back sooner than later. Just thinking about that meal makes me want to go back right now. Seriously the best authentic Chinese food I’ve had in Vegas thus far.

Excellent service … Excellent staff !!! And even better the food is magnificent … Highly recommended if you want yummy authentic Chinese food — took the leftovers back to the hotel and thought … Shoot! I didn’t grab a fork !!! Lo and behold they put two sets in there … We loved this place

We ate here twice during our visit to Las Vegas. The first time, we ordered spring rolls and marinated jelly fish followed by kalbi steak and roast duck. The spring rolls were ok, but the jellyfish was spectacular… a bit spicy, crunchy and gingery with a little vinegary kick that was addictive. The kalbi steak was well-​marinated and delicious and the roast duck was roasty, toasty, ducky goodness. We went back again after seeing a show and just had the marinated jellyfish (I wish I had a plate of it now) and wor wonton. You have to ask for the big bowl (entrée sized) unless you want the small cup. We both had this as an entrée and it was packed with pork wontons, shrimp, cha shu pork and veggies. We would eat here again!

Located near the Carson Tower in the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino, Lillie’s Asian Cuisine provides you with a choice of an entertaining Teppanyaki experience or a menu that includes a mixture of Cantonese, Szechwan and Pan Asian dishes.
Unfortunately while Lillie’s menu spans different Asian cuisine, it barely provides a sufficient representation of each. For menu selection, two stars. After being deprived of ramen/​saimin for over a week on a cruise ship, I was craving hot Asian noodle soup. The only offering on their menu was the Cantonese Won Ton Noodle Soup for $ 15. They also had a large cup of Won Ton Soup for $ 8 and a large bowl of Wor Won Ton for $ 11 but neither of these selections were offered with noodles with is standard at most Chinese restaurants; hence the below average rating.
The addition to my noodle soup I ordered Crab Rangoon which was the worse I have ever eaten. Although I didn’t care for the taste of the pork won tons, I thought the soup was tasty and noodles were good. For food taste, three stars.
In terms of value, I would consider the food over priced. Maybe the intent of the pricing is to reflect Lillie’s as an upscaled Asian restaurant, but clearly that could not be the case with the cheap chopsticks they offer. In addition, you can get much better value for your money at other nearby Las Vegas establishments. So for value, one star.

Benihana wanna be
Soup was fishy
Dressing was good on salad
The veggies were over cooked and some were undercooked. Hard to fry broccoli
And sprouts at the same time.
Chicken was overcooked
Scallops were good
Service was good

Food was good but waitress SUCKS (Christina). No personality what so ever, lazy and seems like she hates her job. Half the fun is the experience. AVOID her so you can enjoy the dining.

I came to the Golden Nugget to see a show and decided to have dinner at Lillie’s. I was seated promptly in a mostly empty restaurant. I was brought my iced tea quickly and then I ordered.
For starters, I had their marinated jelly fish with sesame oil, chilis, and some thinly sliced pickled vegetables. The sauce made with the oil and chilis gave the jelly fish a very good taste. This was the first time I had jelly fish and I found it good. Chewy and not too flavorful in itself. It needs a good dressing, like pasta, to give it some flavor.
For the main course, I got the curry chicken clay pot. The dish was listed as spicy and it was. When brought to the table, my server cautioned me not to touch the bowl as it was very hot. When he removed the lid of the pot, the dish was bubbling from the high temperature. I let it cool for a minute or so. The thing that caught my eye on the menu was the chicken was in a coconut curry sauce and it had pineapple as well as mushrooms and some normal vegetables in Chinese food. The pieces of pineapple went well with the heat of the curry. The portion was large enough it could be split by two. I wasn’t going home after dinner or I would have taken some home in a take out container.
My server suggested three items from the menu and I ended up with the lemon yuzu cake. It was quite good and a nice finish to the meal.
Service was excellent. Iced tea was refilled often and for each course the server and the manager came by to check and make sure everything was OK.

One of the better Chinese restaurants in Vegas.

I’m not happy at all… Americanized terrible food all I gotta say is good luck… The dim lights don’t hide the crappy food

Didn’t really hit the spot after a night out. And everything tasted overly salted. I love me some Asian food, and look to that for comfort food — this place didn’t hit that mark.

We have done the hibachi grill twice now and both times have been pleasant. It is expensive but the food is pretty good. I got the filet. It was tender but lacking somewhat on flavor. They give you two sauces too dip your food in which are pretty good.

Good if not a little pricey. My son chose this place because they have Teppan Grill. He is only 13 and an adventurous eater. As Teppan goes, it is about what you expect. As this is located inside the Golden Nugget, everyone is pretty happy and easy going. Our table mates were delightful. I will say we ate at the first sitting, 5pm. This review may not be applicable later in the evening and reservations were suggested for the teppan part as there is limited seating. If you are going for the other foods, there is more space but this is still a restaurant on the small side for Vegas. I would go again. Cost $ 100 (tip included) for two teppan meals and a glass of wine.

This review is for the staff! The food was good! However, the manager and server were completely terrible, unprofessional and rude. Never the less my 12 year old daughter for a dirty thong under our teppanyaki table. When brought to their attention the rudeness intensified. I was in utter Awwww at the way this was handle. Mind you not even a apology, yet an accusation that it was from us. We had all young children. I am so absolutely disgusted. I would NOT EVER RECOMMEND!!!

This review is for the service and not for the food, because I did not get a chance to taste any. It’s like 8:40pm and HALF the restaurant was empty. But the hostess said they were all reserved and the three of us would have to wait 40 mins. I am sorry but you are not even a three star restaurant so please don’t be such a snob and turn your customers and hotel guests away, when half your restaurant is empty on a Sunday night. I’m sure half of those reservations won’t even show up. And just by looking at your menu, I can tell it’s not even decent chinese food. Better than Panda Express at best.

We came here to celebrate my aunt and uncle’s 60^th wedding anniversary. We decided to take them out to dinner and we were staying in downtown LV, we wanted to keep it close so everyone could walk to the restaurant. Located in the Golden Nugget, the place is on the smaller side. We made reservations so they could accommodate our party of 10 people. We ordered several dishes to share family style. The best dish we had was the Honey Chicken. Very tasty and not real sweet as you’d expect. I would definitely get that again. The roasted duck was good as well. The vegetables were very good. Most of all it seemed our meal was MSG free.
With all the great places to eat in Vegas, this was one of the better Chinese food places I have eaten at in a casino. Most of the good places to eat Chinese food is in China town. I would definitely try go back again.

On my last visit here, a Caterpillar Roll was smooth and very mild, while the taste of a bowl of Hot & Sour Soup was ultra-​spicy and harsh. Kung Pao Chicken with water chestnuts, Green Bell Peppers, celery, onion, and fresh white chicken meat was very good, as was the service. Water refills gratefully arrived unbidden.
Meanwhile, Diane enjoyed her selections of Wonton Soup and Honey Glazed Shrimp.
4 stars overall!

Food here is not good. We came here for the teppanyaki but was disappointed. The fried rice was so bland and tasteless. The quality of the seafood and meat is mediocre at best. My hot and sour soup was more sour than anything. Our server was great but the food. No. Sorry, needs a lot of improvement.

This place wasn’t to bad. I definitely wouldn’t come back for the Sushi but the main dishes were pretty good. I had the sea bass and it went down pretty smooth. Pretty pricy place just for one person with drinks, I spent around $ 118.00 just for me with a desert.
The service isn’t the best here, they make you feel rushed and the waitress seem like she wanted to be there at the same time.
I’d look else where if your looking to spend that kind of money

This restaurant located near the pool in the Nugget is actually much better than I expected it to be. I had my doubts because of my previous dinning experiences at the Nugget restaurants.
We opted for the teppan grill verses ordering off the menu. It wasn’t something that I had done before, and when in Vegas, give everything a shot. It was a lot of fun and it was quite entertaining. It was more than what I thought it would be. The food was good and the services was top notch.
