I had a great experience at Water Lilly Cafe. The quaint cafe was medium size and decorated well. There are no paper menus and the menu is on a board and a digital option was provided in the form of a QR code. The ambiance and music gave a calming vibe. The service was great from when I walked in the male server was friendly and attentive. He also has great hearing as I made changes as he was walking away. The beef pho was delicious. The soup being deeper in color than I was used to. I think that’s because the rare beef was different than other restaurants. It was rich in flavor, easier to chew, and more kid friendly. I cannot wait to bring my daughter here because she loves pho but the rare beef at some places have made her choke in the past. The veggies in the pho was fresh and good just what I like. Sriracha and hoisin sauce provided. The veggies come in the soup so if you don’t want that option best to say it ahead of time. They have big portion sizes, I got a small pho and it was more pho than I was expecting. The pho was really delicious I cannot stress enough I couldn’t put my chopsticks and spoon down till I was finished. The stir fry I got was Pad Prig Pow- Thai Chili is was good. There were a lot of veggies and I added chicken and shrimp. The ratio of veggies to meat was a little below average. The flavor of the sauce was good, spicy but not too spicy. I would’ve preferred it spicier but I forgot to request that when I ordered. The rice was cooked well to pair with the sauce, what I mean is my rice that was without sauce was a little tougher than I expected but the rice covered in sauce was perfect. So I just mixed it up till my bowl was saucy and it was good. The red peppers in the stir-fry was super flavorful and my favorite. I had an sweet iced green tea and water to drink. The beverages were good and I was sad I cannot have gluten because I really wanted a Thai iced tea. The server recommended curry to other tables that asked about his favorite thing on the menu. Overall my experience was great, the food delicious, and I hope to come again.

I have been coming here for years. I love it. I don't have a favorite meal but I order the summer rolls every time. This is some of the best food I've ever had and the best Thai food.
