I normally get take out from Water Lily. It is always really good. I highly recommend their orange chicken and crab rangoon, but everything there is good.

The Water Lily offers great takeout service. The spring rolls and pork fried rice are great. The pupu platter is small, but good and filling. The kids love the straws they give.
