LILYMU

Came here for dinner with my partner and had the set menu. The choice of dishes, and the order in which it came was great. The prawn in betel leaf was a strong start - shocked at how much flavour it packed for what we saw. All hits, no misses. Highlight was the eggplant fingers with the grated cheese, spectacular gimme 14. And the taro mochi ice cream, get in ma belleh. Service was 10/10, staff were attentive, friendly and made our experience even more memorable. Was surprised by complimentary dessert (complimentary cause it was a celebration dinner). Coming back soon. Shout out to Dora our server turned friend, you made our night!

We enjoyed a classic feast menu last night, and everything was absolutely delicious. Our waiter, Roshan, was very professional and took great care of us throughout the evening. Waitresses Nora and Dora were attentive and consistently checked in to make sure we were well looked after. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the overall experience was outstanding. We can’t wait to visit again — a well-deserved 5-star review. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I booked a table of 6 with the $119 p/p set menu. The service from the start was fantastic, staff very friendly and attentive, we had one in the party with very specific dietary requirements and the staff and chef handled this amazingly and my client who usually ends up with bland food got to experience the yummy meals we had slightly modified by the chef. The highlight for me was definitely the beef short ribs, however the Sandos are absolutely delicious and I could have eaten just a plate of those and be happy. Highly recommend to try

Nice place great atmosphere and decor , fancy meals but not really that sophisticated but trying to be , great portions if you are a sparrow , had one of set banquets for 3 people . The presentation and quality of taste is not enough to make up for the tiny portions .Left still hungry due to such small portions served for 3 adults! I get it , it’s fancy it’s fusion and has a nice decor but remember your clients are adults not sparrows !! We left hungry and did a Makkas drive through !

The food was excellent, starting from the natural oysters with that kick of dressing, and the fried prawn dumplings had a delicious taste. The main was the wagu beef with potatoes and barramundi parcels with the coconut curry was cooked well Dessert was little different with sago on the bottom with a coconut flavour and small pieces of mango and gelato with a nice smoke coming from the bowl, for that fancy look. Only issue was there seem to be a lot moths flying around which was starting to be a bit annoying while eating. price was quiet reasonable !

Unfortunately the festive feast did not meet my expectations. I'm very shocked the reviews of this restaurant are high, I don't know if it was bad luck or a bad day in the kitchen. Oysters were standard, kingfish ceviche was too sweet and I was shocked they served me stale sweet potato chips. The bread from the chicken katsu sando was dry, I felt like I was eating a dry chicken sandwich with hardly enough sauce. Beef tartar rice cake was good. Wagyu gyoza was terrible, the meat was soggy inside, the dumpling dough was uncooked and sauce was terrible. Everything just tasted bitter. I was accidentally served lamb sausage bao buns, which they let us have on the house. Even this tasted like a standard bunnings sausage sizzle in a bao bun. The cauliflower was soggy. Meat saam was good, not enough veg for 3 people mostly made up of pea shoots, rice was ok too. Halo dessert consisted mostly of ice, there wasn't enough icecream for 3 people. The positive was the rice and beef tartare, even so it didn't blow my socks off. This is my attempt at optimism. The customer service was excellent, however at the end of the day I'm paying for food and it makes a big part of my review. A note for future diners, because this is an indoor outdoor restaurant I wouldn't come here on a very hot day as there's only fans, no air-con. The challenge with Lilymu is that it tries to be pan-asian, they lack fundamental skill in balancing flavours from salty, sweet, sour and umami. An array of asian ingredients are listed but not well executed and it ended up leaning towards only one flavour profile. You can definitely get better quality food elsewhere in Sydney especially at this price.

This Asian fusion restaurant offers a cool, spacious setting with a quiet ambience. The dishes are rich in flavour and highlight the chefs’ creativity. In my opinion, they pair well with rice or bread rolls (with a crunchy outer layer), as the flavours lean toward the salty side. While the prices are on the higher end, it’s worth trying and returning to explore more of their menu.

Such a great atmosphere and lovely flavours in the food. We were served champagne to start and that really set the mood right. The staff were very accommodating and helped us take photos for the hens reveal. Such a cute interior made a beautiful background for photos.
