Reviews

My daughter and niece highly recommend this place.  Unfortunately, Monday was their resting day.  We finally get to get this place on Tuesday.  It’s definitely worth the wait.  The restaurant is very small with just a few tables for dine-ins.  The entire menu is a giant poster on the wall with a picture for each menu item.  This makes ordering a breeze.  The setup of this restaurant is very simple and it’s right behind the counter for customers to see.  A small counter for making the noodle, two large pots to cook the noodles and cooking the dishes.  A showcase to store all the garnishment and a small space to prep dishes before serving.  After receiving a beef noodle soup order.  Someone brings out a few prepared doughs, roll it a few times to flatten it to the proper thickness, cuts it, handle pull it and then puts it in a pot of boiling water to cook. Simultaneously, another person brings out a container of beef noodle soup stock to heat up.  The noodle and the beef soup gets mixed in the bowl with garnishment and it’s ready to be served.  The man in charge at the counter is the owner. An immigrant from ShannXi  long time ago.  Friendly fella.  Vegetarian options: You can request to add different garnishment and they will try to accommodate.

Lili's is a unique Chinese restaurant experience with the famous hand pulled noodles. I enjoyed dumplings and scallion pancakes as well as several other dishes overall, not as spicy as I expected. The service was very friendly, the seating is very Spartan and extremely limited for dine in. For the past 4 years this has been my daughter's most favorite restaurant in Amherst.

This restaurant was a unique dining experience.  The food here was absolutely delicious.   We were able to enjoy the dumplings, their famous noodle dish and their fried rice.  The food was served fresh and fast.  There was plenty of free parking in the back of the strip mall.  I am looking forward to going back again soon.Food: 5/5

A very simple but absolutely authentic food from northwest China. The stewed beef noodle soup is so delicious and the meat is extremely tender. The scallion sprout and pork is a little spicy but very flavorful. Definitely need to come back often.

Very friendly establishment with some of the best food I've ever had. Cannot recommend highly enough!Food: 5/5

Biang biang noodles are to die for, I will forever be dreaming of the meal I had here. Their cold spicy noodles are also the best I have ever had. Will be driving 3 hours back just to experience this again.Food: 5/5

I ordered #14. I have not had noodles this good for more than a decade. The noodles were freshly made by hand and you can see them being made from scratch in the kitchen. The beef toppings on the noddles melt in my mouth. Oh amazing!Food: 5/5

Travellers, this is a fantastic Chinese restaurant that you should visit. All the noodles and dumplings are handmade right there and they are the star of the menu. The dumplings are also scrumptious and are handmade. The dumplings and the noodles are made and cooked perfectly, even after the 30 minutes takeout ride home. The biang biang noodles are wonderful. The Sao Zi noodle soup is spicy and flavorful and is a favorite on the menu. Again, the noodles are wonderful and taste like my grandma from Italy made on holidays. The scallion pancakes are a wonderful starter to the meal. This restaurant is a taste of Xi' An in Amherst. Check it out. We recommend.  TL;DR, Fantastic take out.

I am not usually a fan of this kind of food, but I am now! This little shop is  scratch cooked food beginning to end. And it's flavorful, beautiful and delicious. An amazing gem in western Massachusetts!Food: 5/5

It's definitely worth stopping in at Lili's for home-cooked, authentic Xi'an Chinese food. Don't expect typical sweet American Chinese food. This is a family-owned and operated restaurant and they really are passionate about serving high-quality food. The prices are great, at around $10, the portions are large, and the hearty food will leave you feeling satisfied. The dishes here are not greasy at all and Lili doesn't cook with added MSG if you care about that. I recommend EVERYTHING here because it's all homemade with high quality ingredients and delicious, but my favorites are anything with Lili's homemade noodles - Sao Zi Noodle Soup and Biang Biang Handmade Noodles. I have to stop myself from eating all of them at once; the noodles are that excellent.
