Lily Sushi Grill & Seafood Bar

We absolutely love it!!! All you can eat! Excellent service, our waitress was very helpful and sweet. The food was fresh and very very good. Will be returning very soon. Highly recommended

Awesome sushi!!!
I love all you can eat sushi!
Fantastic idea of only allowing certain amount ordered at once, so your sure to finish what you order.
Have gone many times and never disappointed.

Terrible experience. Lousy food, poor communication with customers, rude manager. Worst sushi restaurant in the Lehigh Valley.

Watch what you order. Went in for all you can eat sushi, sounds simple enough. The AYCE is brought to the table after you order, it is not buffet. The menu has a great assortment of rolls, sashimi, nigiri and the food was fair, have had better, but for $ 10, it was ok. The first round came our pretty quickly, the 2^nd and 3^rd took about 10 minutes to get the waitress to check back on me to order. Now the catch, $ 10 lunch special is for rolls only, if you order anything else, the price goes up. Buyer beware! Went in expecting a $ 10 lunch and when the bill came it was $ 22. Asked the hostess at the register about this, obviously a common issue, she said to me «didn’t the waitress tell you about the pricing?» Explained that she had not. Nope, she didn’t care that it had not been explained to me, pay up. I won’t be back.

As a sushi lover, I really liked this place. 10 dollar all you can eat sushi is awesome. In philly that would be $ 25. Rolled to order and a good selection. Seaweed salad was delicious and no complaints on the rolls. I didn’t care for the tea very much. I’m sorry but don’t ever serve me lipton tea, especially luke warm, that’s gross. Overall good sushi, and I’ll be back.

The food is good– if you get it. The sushi took forever to come out, and when it did, came out 20 minutes apart from each other. Also, half of what we ordered was overlooked by the cook staff and never came out at all.
I’ve never left an all you can eat place still hungry, but it happened tonight because they never brought any food.
Only eat hear if you want to spend all day sitting around hungry.

Good sushi with a very fair price. Got the all you can eat lunch. Leaving as a very happy and full customer! I tried the raw sushi and surprisingly, the sweet potato was great!

Consistent high quality, good service, fun sushi all you can eat lunch menu. Favorite place in allentown.

One of the greatest sushi deals in the Lehigh valley! They have a lunch special for all you can eat sushi for $ 10/​person until 3pm. This was my first time there and we arrived around 2:30pm and were immediately warned to place our orders soon in case we wanted to order more, which would need to be done before 3pm. This deal even included all you can eat appetizers, soups and salads. We order edamame, miso soups, house salads, dumplings and crab rangoons. Then we got at least 5 – 6 different sushi rolls for 3 people and were stuffed by the end of the meal! Sushi fish was not top notch fresh but was still good quality. Had a good experience my first time and am looking forward to coming back soon. The exterior of the place seemed sketchy and random off the side of the road but upon entering the interior was surprisingly nice. Definitely will be back, service was great as well.

Compliments to the chefs for great food. It was extremely tasty with clean presentation. I asked for spicy and it came out perfect.
The service was nothing to be desired. We were rushed to order our food. The waitress was already bolting from our table before we even spoke our full order. I ordered the hibachi which was suppose to come with soup and salad. After my main dish came out, the waitress then asked if i was suppose to get soup and salad. (Biggest pet peeve of mine is getting appetizers and salads at the same time as your main dish).
My girl friend ordered the all you can eat lunch sushi. They didn’t even bring out some of the items she ordered.
Had to ask twice for water.
They rush us to pay and ended up charging us for three meals when there was only two of us.
The atmosphere is nice and I will be returning with hopes of better service.

My expectations were pretty low based on other reviews. The sushi was just ok but for $ 10 all you can eat lunch it was decent quality. Probably could charge $ 15 and get away with it. I had seaweed salad and hot & sour soup as starters and tried 4 different rolls. The spicy tuna was just «meh» but the other stuff was good enough.
The server (Ivana) was a bit frustrating. I had to keep waiting and waiting for a freaking napkin. She kept saying «oh yeah ill go grab that napkin» then would forget each time she brought something out. Can a guy wipe off his face?! Apart from that she was nice enough and helpful.
I’m giving it a 4 not because of great food but because it is more than you’d expect for the price tag. Dinner is $ 20 and unless the dinner rolls are MUCH better it’s probably asking too much. But I can’t speak to it.
Give it a shot. Don’t expect to be in and out in 5 minutes though. Definitely a sit and wait type of joint. Decent atmosphere.

It is really not my style to compose an inflammatory review for a restaurant because I tend to always look for the bright side of things, and I can usually find them. But I sincerely believe that the manager or owner of this restaurant ripped me and my date off.
This restaurant seems to be making a decent name for itself, at least in my small circle of friends, due to the all-​you-​can-​eat sushi buffet. Not only that, but the buffet is half-​price before 3:00. Who wouldn’t want AYCE sushi for approximately $ 10?
Now, the bad part — and reason for my negative review — is the fact that my date and I got to the restaurant just a few minutes before 3:00, and the hostess (after checking with management) refused to make good on the lunch price, effectively making the meal cost twice as much as it should have. I’m sorry, but this is a bad business practice, and one that cast a shadow on an otherwise excellent meal. My date agreed that the both the sushi, appetizers, and green tea ice cream were all actually quite good. However, the fact that I had to pay double what I should have to me means that my meal was half as good as it should have been, making a four-​star meal a two-​star review, minus an additional star for lousy waitstaff.
I’m sorry to say that I won’t be returning to this place until management gets their act together.

Décor nice
Ambiance nice
Service Very slow
Also not too keen on the assumption that as a big person I am coming just for the AYCE option. I wasn’t.
My wife and I had originally planned to have what was listed on the online menu as a sushi bento box for $ 11 but that item was nowhere to be found on the actual menu, they should probably consider updating their online menu.
We considered leaving but instead opted to try the Teriyaki Bento Box. My wife got shrimp and I got Chicken. We both also chose the brown rice option.
Both were off to a great start with probably the most flavorful miso soup I’ve had anywhere in the Lehigh Valley with fresh shiitake mushrooms, chive & french’s fried onion bits. The only think I didn’t much care for was there was a mushroom stuck to the bottom of my soup bowl which made me think that I wasn’t eating out of a clean bowl.
The Salad with Creamy Ginger dressing and a chunk of cucumber I thought was quite good but my wife thought was too soupy.
Then the meal came. The Bento Box was huge. The Shumai shrimp dumplings were good, the brown rice was good, I also liked their brand of soy sauce thought it was very flavorful. The tempura shrimp, broccoli & sweet potato was good but my Chicken Teriyaki was less than impressive and worst of all was the flavorless California roll that came with the meal. People rave about the AYCE sushi. and I’m sorry but if had to base this review strictly on the roll that came with my bento box you could be sure I would never eat here again for the sushi.bleech.There are better places in the Lehigh Valley to go to for that. I had also hoped that by choosing the brown rice option which was a dollar more that they would’ve made my roll with the brown rice as well, which lead me to feel that the sushi isn’t fresh or made to order.
The green iced was good.
Took a really long time for our waitress to bring us a box and then the bill. Really, not that busy to warrant such slow service.
Why no chopstick option? This is the only time I’ve never had that option. I guess they only give you chopsticks when you order the AYCE sushi. which is kinda funny because sushi is finger food.
I’ll stick to Ichiban & One Third when I am jonesing for sushi.

Cute waitress this afternoon! She was the highlight. The food had plastic in the food called over a manager type and she stuck her finger in my food and removed the plastic then said «it’s okay». GROSS. Additionally the spicy shrimp roll was shrimpless in 2 pieces. Not going back

Came in for lunch today with my lady. :-)
The Allentown roll was amazing. We also really enjoyed the perfect match roll. The lunch all you can eat menu is small but it’s only $ 9.99 so enjoy the gems it has on it. I know I’ll be back to check out the dinner menu.
Service was good too our waitress was polite well spoken and attentive.
Thanks for a great lunch!

For $ 10 ayce sushi, I’d come back.
The first round of sushi and appetizers arrives in a decent amount of time, but after that, the waitress takes forever (15 minutes) to come by again for more orders. There weren’t that many people there, maybe like 4 – 5 other tables – so it was weird that we didn’t see the waitresses often. They’re pretty slow to clean up the finished plates/​dishes (we stacked them) and refill drinks.
A few of the things we ordered and were pretty good were: Allentown roll (fried), Philadelphia roll, spicy tuna roll, king roll, etc. The dumplings were really good, and the seaweed salad wasn’t too soggy-​like. Miso soup lacked tofu cubes, but the broth was pretty good. They also offer brown rice instead of white rice, but it’s an extra $ 1 per roll.
I also asked about an appetizer that didn’t come in the first round, and she tried to claim that we didn’t order that appetizer. We only looked at her blankly, beginning to doubt ourselves… and when she gave us the order paper back it clearly said we ordered it. So maybe she just forgot… or didn’t look at that part of the paper?
Anyway, the rolls were really good, and make sure you know the rules to the ayce sushi place, they charge for any uneaten pieces. And it was convenient that the waitress knew that we wanted to split checks.

Our go-​to sushi spot. We eat there every 4 – 6 weeks and are never ever disappointed.
This is so not a buffet. It is freshly prepared all you can eat sushi made individually per order. The menu is outrageous. Such attention to detail and quality. Service is consistently wonderful. Clean beautiful atmosphere. Perfect for families, groups of friends or a date We usually order three rounds a piece followed by their unforgettable green tea ice cream (also all you can eat!) Love

All you can eat sushi! $ 9.99 before 3pm M-​Sa.
The sushi is so good and the service is accommodating, our server made sure we were satisfied and had all we wanted!

I’ve been to Lily a number of times ordering both off the menu and the all-​you-​can-​eat sushi. Everyone was very happy with the menu selections and the price on the all u can eat is definitely worth what you get.
The selection on the all you can eat dinner menu is great, giving a number of hot appetizers, soups and desserts and an entire page of sushi options. Whether u want sashimi, nagiri or maki (or all three) you have a large number of choices and everything is fresh and tasty. I’m sure you can get better sushi in large cities, but for the Lehigh Valley this is one of the top places I’ve tried.
My favorites have to be the Lily roll and the snow white Maki roll. Also the shumai, dumplings and crab Rangoon are great for starters while your waiting on you fresh sushi feast. Try Lily if u want sushi in the valley.

Went here on a business lunch. Food was middle of the road. I ordered General Tsos chicken and asked for it very spicy. It came out and it was a large, plump portion, texture of it was terrific, but where was the spice? I could not finish the entire portion! The fried noodles with duck sauce were spot on. The noodles were crunchie and not those super cheap noodles you see at some places. These were thicker noodles, nice crunnnch! I ordered Jack and coke, it was very watered down and I could barely taste any whiskey in it. All in all, it was a good dining experience. If they learned what «very spicy» meant, they would have gotten another star.
PS — the delivery of the food was quick and swift!
