good food, delivered to my door, at affordable prices. I love Lily's for lunch, for dinner, or for late night study snack. I've had their pizza (good, esp for the price, when compared with other places), their nachos (ok, could have used more guac and probably not the best as a delivered food), onion rings (yummy!) and something else...don't remember. anyway, can't beat the convenience if u live in shuangjing.

Yesterday night I ordered for the first time (Sihui) and the food itself was ok. However, this morning I woke up at five in the morning and have been visiting the toilet every half hour since then. Not cool. I’m sure that the Lily’s food was the cause because it didn’t eat anything else the whole day. I usually never review any restaurants but because it was my first experience with food poisoning I guess I felt obligated to mention this. Won’t order their food anymore.

Just wanted to say, some of the dishes on the new menu are really excellent. They have Hot Turkey open face sandwich, Fish and Chips, Shrimp Quesadilla, and a new wrap called 'Ross Mums Wrap', a suggestion they apparently received from one of their customers. How many places do you see who take suggestions from customers and then execute it live on their menu? This follows up the pulled pork sandwich from last year- Lilys was the first place I saw this in Beijing, and now you can see it on many menus around town. Keep up the great work.

I have nothing bad to say about Lily's. The prices are very fair, the food is good, and I always enjoy the meal. I see that there were some problems in the past, but I have been going there every few weeks for about 4 months, and have never had a bad experience.

I like to get up early and try to breakfast places in Beijing, and the jumbo breakfast at Lily's in my opinion is batter than all the other beijing places for american breakfast. The bacon is crispy and perfect, and the country ham is the best. It is a generous plate of food at a fair price and the coffee is good and you get refills. I am pretty sure ou will not be disappointed if you get up early and head to Lilys for the Jumbo breakfast.

Each time I visit the diner, I come away satisfied. Joe and Lily have been delivering high quality american fare to the ShuangJing area for over 2 years now. It starts with their passion for the food. There are plenty of knock off western restaurants in Beijing who serve dishes but could care less about how their western food actually tastes. Joe and Lily have enough experience to actually have a sense for how the food they serve should look and taste. That is a competence you just won't find at any locally owned western restaurants. Joe is always experimenting with dishes, adjusting ingredients and looking for new things that work. Take for example, his hand-made buns, I have been in the diner several times when Joe was experimenting different seeds on top and different ingredients about to adjust thickness. Joe and Lily care about their dishes and try to innovate. Have you tried the pulled pork sandwich? It is really good and it took Joe many months to source the right pork and get this sandwich just right. Now you see other restaurants copying the pulled pork sandwich- Lily's was the first to bring it to Beijing. Or how about the Lily's burger which includes coleslaw in the burger- it simply works and is very popular. They have a small location, but Joe and Lily keep it clean and prices affordable- which is not easy for a restaurant is Beijing these days. I highly recommend a visit to Lily's American Diner.

Yes this delivers an menu names which we all love. But the flavour of the american food doesnt come close to real American food.Lillys food doesnt come close to any of Element Fresh, Union Bar and Grill, Blue frog Burgers .Not even 50 % close.
Unless you are starving for American food you go here and the other choice is chinese food which for some reason you dont want to eat then lily`s works.

Lily's used to be a good place, the food was always decent. It seems that the quality of food gets worse everytime I eat there. That is the problem with a businesses in China. Once they gain a loyal following and or fame, they cut corners to screw people over until they finally close down or sell shop.

The Chinese do not get that in order to have a successful business with longevity, you cannot screw people over. I will no longer patronize Lily's there are far better venues to spend my hard earned RMB, Lily's is not one of them.

The last two posters have been trashing the same places at the same time(if you take a look at their tracks). But they may have some points - beef has the taste and flavour of beef and pork has the taste and flavor of pork... Lucky for me, I never was served pork when ordering beef, or the other way around. And I am really not sure why would any restaurant replace pork with beef because neither of them is expensive item anyways.

I just couldn't help defending Lily after reading her interview in Agenda and becoming a regular customer ever since. This Lucy-Liu-like girl is surely hard-working, honest and very sweet!

Food is authentic for sure, even the pumpkin pie and turkey sandwach they make occasionally are very good. And you just can't believe the money you pay for those food! The imported Dr. pepper and raw beer are only RMB 10. And even so, they still have daily happy hour with discounts on most drinks if not all. Checking their daily specials is fun and exciting.

Service is great too although some times it takes a bit longer for them to cook. But I understand they have a small staff and a small kitchen. Enviorment is probably the worst of Lily's. But considering their background, it really is the best they can possibly do.

I think Lily is the Chinese version of the so called 'american dream'. And she just keeps getting better and better. There were a few times my friends and I had to wait for a table!

Lily's has gone down hill since her famous review in the Beijinger. The place is no longer open 24 Hours, even though I just got a menu that says they are open 24 x 7. The other day, the pizza arrived via delivery and the pizza looked like someone tossed it around and stomped on it before delivering it. When I called and complained they exchanged it but the second pizza was cold.

The quality has gone down so much due to her popularity that she no longer cares about customer service or customer satisfaction.

Sad, Lily's used to be a good place for food...
