I?m not sure if Shanghai Lilly has taken a severe turn for the worse or what, but I could not disagree more with most of the other positive reviews on this restaurant. Four of us went to Shanghai Lilly over the weekend on our first trip to Las Vegas. The menu seemed appealing to all, and really seemed right up our alley. \r

We started with the appetizer sampler which was actually pretty good, but unfortunately turned out to be the highlight of the meal. Regarding entrees, we ordered Mongolian Beef, General Tso?s Chicken, Honey Chicken, and a Kung Pao Chicken. All 3 of the chicken dishes were simply put?awful. The sauces seemed decent, but the chicken meat itself was just off. One comment at the table was, ?this could very well be a Chicken McNugget?. The Mongolian Beef wasn?t terrible, but certainly wasn?t good. We all also paired brown rice with each of our entrees. Once the check arrived, it was to our dismay that the brown rice was not included with the entree?!?! What Chinese restaurant doesn?t include rice with their entrees??!! This was the capper! \r

With all the options to dine in Las Vegas, I must admit that in my opinion, you should steer WELL CLEAR of Shanghai Lilly.
Pros: Service was good, nice ambience inside
Cons: Food quality, no rice with entree, didn't ask for liquor brand for gin and tonic
