China Lily

Awesome Chinese food. I got it Togo. And everything was fresh hot and delicious. I want in there on a Monday afternoon and it was dead and I was worried on how it would come out. And I was wrong. Awesome place

Best and freshest I have had since moving to Orlando 10 years ago. We used to order weekly but moved downtown and can’t find anything that compares!!! Seafood and veg is always fresh and every sauce is full of flavor. Portion sizes are generous for pricing. Wonderful soups and apps. Can’t say enough great things about this little gem. Beef, chicken, seafood or veg you can’t go wrong! They will make it your way!

So disappointed with the service… I ordered online to have them deliver and 45 minutes later still had no food. I called and asked if my order was received and on its way and the man, without apologizing, said it was on its way. I live less than 5 minutes away so I was upset when 20 minutes later my food had yet to arrive. Again I called and again not even a sorry. Just asked if I wanted to cancel my order… I will not be ordering here again.

I have been meaning to post about China lily but haven’t had the time. I usually order shrimp egg foo young or a beef dish. It’s decent but the food isn’t what makes this place good. My favorite waitress always is happy to be there and is so open with the customers. She makes the experience great and worth the dinning in, and is great with the kids. Unfortunate she is planning on moving and will not be there any longer, this also means we will no longer be ordering from there. The other workers want to get paid and move along instead of enjoying the job with the customers.

I went for the first time today. The guy working behind the cash register was nice, but not too helpful. He wanted to provide the minimum amount of service. Then again he did seem to have a lot to do on his iPhone. I had General’s chicken. The chicken tasted like it was fried in old oil. It tasted like burnt peanuts. Unfortunately, there are few good sit down Chinese restaurant in the area.

Seriously the best Chinese food I have had in Orlando. There is a little Chinese place a few doors down, this one is for sure better! Their house fried rice is truly amazing, egg rolls aren’t greasy at all and taste super fresh. You can tell all the veggies they use are really fresh too. I recommend this 100%!

We drove by several restaurants on a Monday night trying to find a place to eat and ended up here. It was ok, not the best chinese but not the worst either. I would recommend the Lo Mein and the Curry Rice… I am very grateful it was open and the service was really good!

Their delivery is way fast! Always hot and fresh, great items on the menu

We tried this place as takeout. The good: quite a bit of food; in fact enough left over for another full meal (this is what we are used to from our prior area). The bad: charged extra $ 4 for brown rice and didn’t tell us till we picked the food up (who charges extra for brown rice? That is not very customer friendly IMO). The worst: bland, tasteless food. We ordered Hunan Chicken which was supposed to be spicy and was not. I didn’t even see any hot peppers in it. The vegetable Lo Mein was bland. The General Tso’s had mostly breading underneath the sauce and barely any chicken. The taste was like waiting for that surge of flavor that started to get there and never quite made it. As with most places down here the prices are well above anything we ever paid back in the NJ/​NYC Metro area. No bonus like up north where if you spend over a certain amount you get a free soup or appetizer. Another disappointment in a long quest for god Chinese food.

Best Chinese anywhere!
I have been consistently disappointed time and time again with Chinese food around O town till I went here. Everything here is delicious and fresh. No need to go anywhere else. PERIOD.

Best «NY Style» Chinese in SW Orlando. Food is always delivered fast and arrives hot. I have been ordering from here a couple times a month for several years and the quality is always consistent. Haven’t had a bad thing on the menu.

One of the best Chinese food places I have ever been too… and believe me, I’ve been to a lot!

This chinese restaurant is clean, the owner is a friendly and accomodating man. Food is very food and well cooked! A+++

When I first moved to this area I hunted for a decent chinese place. This place won. The food is pretty good and prices aren’t bad. I usually go for the beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, or pork fried rice. All very good and what you would expect from a chinese restaurant.
The service used to be better. Granted I’ve never dined in at the place (always take out) but the people on the phone have become less concerned with customer service. Not bad, but not as good as it used to be.
The only reason if didn’t give 5 stars is 1) I’m not a fan of the egrolls. I believe they used ground chicken in it and it’s always LOADED with pepper and spicy. Second reason is their «delivery» is awful. I was so excited when I saw their website and online ordering, so I tried it one night. Turns out it is a third party company so it took over 90 minutes to get my food. ***DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY!!!*****

The China Lilly offers some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time and the service on my visits have been excellent.
Let’s start with the egg rolls. They are not the usual tasteless greasy cylinders that most other places serve. These egg rolls are very flavorful and addictive!
One one of my visits I had the boneless spareribs, which was a very generous serving of tender chunks of pork in a delicious sauce. The accompanying fried rice was also superb.
For Mother’s Day this past weekend, my family wanted to take me out to lunch so I, of course, picked the China Lilly. This time I tried the Cantonese duck, which surprisingly didn’t take as long to cook as we anticipated. The crispy skin and succulent meat was greatly complimented by the curried rice we orderd. My husband had the crispy beef which has also become a favorite of ours.
And — my favorite part of all — they give you Dove chocolate samples along with the usual fortune cookies when it comes time for the bill.
Definitely worth checking out.

I would definitely agree with Josh B. in saying that this is definitely one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area. They are quick and I have never had a bad meal here. However, I am not a huge fan of their eggrolls and sometimes the staff working the front can be less than enthused about working, but other than that, I would definitely recommend them.

China Lily is probably one of the better Chinese restaurants in Ocoee/​Winter Garden. The food is fresh and the portions are always satisfying. The Mongolian beef is fantastic and the egg roll is amazing.
Only complaint is consistency of the rice. Sometimes it comes out a little greasy. It has only happened a couple of times over the 30 or so times we have eaten at China Lily.
Good choice for takeout Chinese.

We used to go to China Lily often when they first opened, but they have deteriorated significantly in the last year. The last few times, I really wanted to like the food, but it has just gotten so bad, I am afraid we have to find a new place to go. This last time, we ordered Moo Shu Pork that was so greasy and salty, it was inedible. They used to have the best Moo Shu in the area. I also found the wonton soup to be awful, as well. We won’t be back.

Believe It Or Not, I really do hate to be the table challenge at a restaurant but oh well, sometimes you just have to go for it!
I rarely get much good out of chinese soups, but since I would not be getting the value (?) of the white rice, I went for it anyway. Asked if I could substitute a soup in lieu of the white rice with my dinner. I was pleasantly obliged, so Won Ton soup was my starter., well after a few of them wide crunchy chip things.
Now I’ve always wondered what species of critter is in the meaty center of a won ton. I even dared asked once long time ago and was told: «meat». Perhaps somewhere in the Chin-​english translation some significant question-​answer parameter was lost? I no longer ask.
My dining companion had the egg drop soup. I actually preferred the prevailing egg taste to that of the won ton critter for the first time in many decades, of my limited chinese dining.
I choose the Beef n’ Broccoli in brown sauce entrée. This was a good entrée. The beef was tender and the broccoli was steamed to my favored degree of firmness with an easily yielding texture. Their seasonings, though hard to deconstruct on my palate, were very delicious in this entrée! Perhaps a ting of star anise was in there?
Whatever, it pleasantly gonged my yum-​yum sensibility enough to box up the excess portion for a lunch. Had it for lunch next day after supplementing with some more of my chopped up broccoli and — gee, I saved an $ 8.00 lunch. Well, actually made the dinner cost a little more reasonable. Good stuff.
So, Simply put, China Lilly is on my go-​to list for a Dinner/​Lunch. Expect very friendly service in this establishment! I believe you too, stand a fair chance of a 4 star experience.

I got coupons in the mail for this place and decided to check it out. Good move!
Food is fresh, delicious, well seasoned, and reasonably priced. The dining area is clean, comfortable and intimate.
Solid choice for strip mall Chinese dining.
