Lilly's Dim Sum Then Some

The name is a little misleading. If you want authentic dim sum, the only option you have in Central Arkansas is Chi’s Restaurant on Shackleford Road. Lilly’s has some appetizers that resemble dim sum, but nothing authentic or unique. I honestly don’t understand the hype about this place. The food is okay, but not exceptional. I’m also not quite sure if they really want to be a restaurant that features Asian cuisine or if they’re more intent upon going a fusion route. In either case, they miss the mark. Some of the dishes are tasty like the chicken curry and the panko crusted orange roughy- but there’s nothing exceptional here. One plus- the wine list offers a wide selection – in terms of vintage and price. I don’t mind going here, but it’s just average as far as value and execution. The average mom and pop Chinese takeout restaurant provides just as many options at a far more reasonable price. more

Lilly's Dim Sum Then Some is just that. The dim sum is second to none. The spring rolls are great. Good selection of vegetarian and healthy options. Portions are decent for the price, especially the salads and soups. Location is a little underscale, but the interior makes up for it- kind of contemporary asian. The private dining room is great for parties, and they have begun giving cooking lessons. This is a great place for a date or dinner with the whole family. more
