This place can be really good if you know what to order. Unfortunately, we ordered two starters that were both deep fried and came with the same sauce. I also ordered fried vegetable which I thought was going to be seaweed, but turned out to be battered aubergine with salad cream. Really disappointing! For mains, we had salt and chilli tofu which was absolutely delicious, beautifully cooked, and broccoli and sweet and sour tofu which were less good. My daughter later ordered some noodles which again were fantastic. So as a vegetarian I would definitely go again, but over time work my way through the very variable menu, which can have a sublime dish hidden in amongst some really quite odd or mediocre ones..

Very poor customer service during the lunch time when we visited. To give it a benefit of doubt we have visited it again after 4 long months still the same. Very money oriented. Basic table salt and pepper were only a set for the whole restaurant.. and that was made available only on demand. I wish this was a good. Place for a vegan like me. But the truth is they have to improve a lot when it comes to customer service and quality of food. Inconsistent food quality each time

Lovely place! I don't eat onion or garlic and they cook everything without onion or garlic anyway, so this place is great for me. Also very friendly people and tasty food. One of the staff brought his baby granddaughter out to meet us. Mega cute baby.

I will recommend this place for all indians who love to taste vegetarian Chinese items . Here you can get item without garlic and onion..so a must go for any vegetarian...this is a hidden gem ...we liked pork crispy noodles and chicken satay...tasty indeed...superb amicable staff and service is also amazing...

This is the only Asian vegetarian restaurant in Glasgow! The foods are so tasty and you can tell the efforts put into the foods. The BBQ seitan (vegetarian barbecue pork) is so soft inside but crispy outside, with some deep-fried rice noodles underneath, they absorb all the sauce from the vegetarian bbq pork, what a clever idea! Also, the restaurant owner is so friendly and he can remember his customers’ tastes so well if they are returned customers! The restaurant is so clean and bright as well. It’s joyful to have meals in the restaurant. I would highly recommend the restaurant to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

Had some incredible Chinese food here. Owner was very accomodating and helpful with my girlfriends order. Some really interesting dishes here that I've not seen elsewhere. Would highly recommend if you are a vegan/vegetarian.

The best Chinese in Glasgow! The whole menu is Vegan and there's lots to choose from.

I never tried any vegan restaurant before. Thought to try something different, but feel dicy about this restaurant. But my perception was wrong 🙂 food is really awesome. We really like the food. More important the cook cum owner is really polite. He make you comfortable and try to understand what exactly you like and suggest you the best. I really recommend this restaurant.

Food was delicious, and the portion of rice was very satisfying. Definitely will come again when we visit Glasgow.

A delightful menu of delicious dishes paired with the attentiveness and kindness shown to us made our meal extra special. They even made the food extra spicy for us. A must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine in a warm and welcoming setting. Highly recommended.

Delicious vegan food all round! The spring rolls are heavenly (I could eat a dozen of them!) The vegan sweet & sour "chicken" was superb & the fried rice was sublime. All of the staff are super friendly, attentive and helpful. The card machine was being temperamental so we had to pay cash - luckily there is a bank machine across the street. The staff were very apologetic about it.

Truly my most disappointing dining out meal EVER!! Freezing inside, took 2 hours to receiving food, rice was cold once food arrived, our table was served their food at different times, which meant 2 were finished eating when 2 haven’t even got their food. Food was nothing special and expensive for what it was. Sadly VERY DISAPPOINTING and will never go back!!

One of my favourite places to eat in Glasgow. Everything on the menu is vegan and incredibly good value for money - we ordered about £20 worth of food per person and had SO much left over. It was all incredible and the meat replacements are super good, especially the seitan (although there’s also nice aubergine and mushroom dishes if you don’t like fake meat). The people who work there are so kind too! Our server (who I think was also cooking) was super friendly and sweet to us. Also willing to give suggestions and make things that are slightly different from what’s on the menu (switching sauces between dishes etc).

Worst experience ever! Do not recommend. First I was asked a £2 cleaning fee to eat In. Shocked, but I still said ok. Second I was served food in plastic containers, plastic cutlery and no plates? Seriously. I was forced to leave the restaurant with food in a bag when I just wanted to have a relaxed meal seated in a restaurant. Paying extra to seat in a restaurant is shocking but the service was even worse. Not going back for sure.

I’m here at 12:48 pm on a Thursday looking for lunch and seems closed. Maybe post your hours on Google maps so people don’t waste their time?

Most delicious vegan Chinese ever! I chose the sweet and sour vegan ‘chicken’ with boiled rice, a portion of spring rolls and their vegan ‘prawn’ crackers! Absolutely delicious, especially the vegan ‘chicken’ and spring rolls! The owner is very friendly too and informative about the menu. All natural ingredients which is great to know. Definitely one of my favourites!

I recently visited lotus before going to a gig at the O2 academy, just along the road. I tried crispy noodles for the first time and really enjoyed my food. It wasn't exceptional but definitely good. There was a good range of food and the portions were huge. The salt and pepper chips were fantastic too. The staff were very attentive and pleasant. I would go back but I imagine that as I am not in Glasgow all that often my next visit may not be for a while.

Although the staff was super friendly and kind, the food was very disappointing. I ordered spring rolls and tofu with schezwan sauce. Both were super oily. The spring rolls were good, but the tofu was bland and the sauce wasn't as thick as I imagined it would be, and it didn't have any flavours, it was just spicy and greasy. I'm only giving my opinion on these two particular items, so maybe there are better options in their menu.

The Schezuan Duck has to be tried to be believed. Amazing.

Great food, lovely owners, serving staff always seem on edge, my only gripe is that the vibe was a bit more laid back, more so for the sake of the lovely humans who work here! A must visit for any food lover, omni or plant based. I recommend the crispy aubergine.

Dashed in quickly before a gig at O2 with two friends. The staff were extremely accommodating, attentive and friendly. The owner is very passionate about what you eat and keen to share that. Food was very tasty, especially the chicken satay, we all marvelled at it. Would definitely make this a regular haunt if I lived in Glasgow. Even though the food is vegan it is very much a good option for meat eaters too.

Great food and nice relaxed atmosphere.

Vegan prawn crackers!! I asked the staff for recommendations when I was there, as my friend that I went with isn't vegan/vegetarian and they listened to our likes/dislikes and recommended something delicious. They were super helpful and friendly staff. Delicious food, great sized portions, well priced.

Great variety of dishes all suitable for vegans.

Great food and a warm welcome from the Owner & Servers. All plant based.

Been here a couple of times now. It's always totally excellent. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious. Everything is cooked fresh and you can tell. The staff are super friendly and the service is very quick. Can only talk about restaurant experience as I've never tried their take away food. Would recommend the salt and chilli tofu as it's brilliant!

The chef here believes in real/healthy food. The ingredients used are of top quality and the food is as if made by someone who really cares. Super delicious, varied and good quality food. Will definitely stop by here, everytime I visit Glasgow.

I’ve been lots of times and it’s honestly the most delicious food I’ve ever tasted in my life, the pork noodles and chicken in satay sauce are the best, highly recommend

The food is amazing here. I have loved everything I’ve had. I started going here before I was vegetarian and now I’m trying to be vegan, it’s top of my list! The sweet and sour “chicken” balls are my favourite, also “non” prawn crackers are great too. Chinese was my favourite food when I ate meat but most Chinese restaurants aren’t accommodating to vegetarians so this place really stands out.

No meat options, was forced up this horrible and un healthy food A man neads to chew on a bloody steak and not on some radish and salad

Good food.

My absolute go to restaurant - The food is AMAZING, so much selection. The menu is great, food is always cooked to very high standard. The owner is a lovely man, so accommodating and kind to all customers. I am a regular customer.

Excellent and fresh food, all vegan menu. We especially loved the homemade seitan, so tasty! The chef was so friendly and came over to ask us what kind of sauces we liked, so he could customise the dishes to our taste. Fantastic service, a nice quiet spot away from the hustle of the city.

The food is delicious and the staff helpful and friendly. Went a few times and will go again.

Got a takeaway. Lovely seitan and tofu. Black bean sauce was delicious. Will definitely use again. Awesome to have a vegan restaurant like this.

Visited from Toronto, and found that the food was amazing and the service was great! I loved the fried dumplings, noodles and rice dishes that we ordered. All around an incredibly enjoyable experience. 10/10, would recommend and come again! 😃

*) Literally the serving plate as well as the food was very hot which it should be. *) Good quality food. *) Cross check with the restaurant management however as per my understanding it by default comply with Jain food preparation (No Garlic, Onion, etc.). *) Good hospitality. *) Quick service. *) Assistance to decide on menu selections. *) They have a minimum £11/- per person clause however that do not apply to kids. *) Staff and manager friendly and courteous. *) The Manager turned other way while entering the PIN for the card payment which is very good gesture as far as your secrecy of PIN is concerned. So 6/5 ✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️

Really lovely place, great to have so many options. Real mix bag of food, some was delicious, some we wouldn't order again. The salt and chilli chips and the "beef" in black bean sauce were the winning dishes could not of been better. But the sope and vegetable chow mein was not the greatest. Good portion sizes and reasonable prices I would definitely come back but probably I'll stick to the recreation meats as they seemed to have the best flavour.

Brilliant food, amazing service

Lovely staff and really delicious food. We'd had this place recommended to us a few times but it was closed for a while, so we were very excited to finally try it. It didn't disappoint! We had the mapo tofu and black bean trumpet mushrooms - highly recommend both

Service: was very friendly the owner/manager "Eric" was super nice. Food: Veg spring rolls 5* Hot and spicy soup 5* The Salt and alt chicken dish 5* The aubergine and mince substitute 4* as I thought it was a little watery Cleanliness 5* Caters for: Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Vegan Additional notes: They don't sell alcohol. They sell prawn crackers.

Absolutely love this place! Great flavours and big portions. They cater to every customer's needs and customize as requested. Extremely friendly staff and the chef is just adorable. I will 100% be back soon.

A completely vegan Chinese with old favourites and great new ideas. Very very good with unprawn crackers and perfect fried noodles.

Incredible! I live very near the Lotus which is deadly, as the great prices and quick service makes having takeout regularly all too easy! Eric the owner is a great guy, and all of the staff are really nice. Food is always out quick, and you feel like a valued customer -which should be a given but for a lot of places you feel like you're rushed out the door! Food is phenomenal also. The menu is massive so there's bound to be something you like. My family aren't vegan and I've taken them here a few times and they've always been really impressed

Food is honestly unreal, one of the best restaurants in glasgow

Can't wait to go again!!!

Great food that is lovingly prepared. Service is spectacular.

Food is really amazing

Amazing food and staff are fantastic

I had a meal here last night. After reading the reviews I was so excited but ended up a tad underwhelmed. I didn't realise beforehand but they don't serve alcohol, but this is not reflected in the stars, I was just a bit sad as I was out for my birthday, but fair enough. Anyway I ordered the fried dumpling and prawn toast for starters. They were both amazing, totally loved them, prawn toast a highlight as I've never had this before. For our mains we ordered tofu satay and crispy shredded salt and chilli chicken. We also ordered salt and pepper chips and rice. The staff were nice enough but a tad harassed feeling, as it was quite busy. The main meals came, the satay sauce was watery and I couldn't really taste any peanuts from it, a bit bland overall. The shredded chicken was a bit overdone, it was far too crispy like it had been cooked and then reheated. The salt and chilli chips were fine but I've had better elsewhere, usually you can taste a bit of Chinese five spice, but these just tasted salty and chilli, so also a bit bland. I think I would go back in a few months and try something else, as the starters were fab.

Went in for lunch today and will most definitely be back, tasty fresh food made by passionate people.. Awesome and a very reasonable cost.

Incredible variety of all-vegetarian food, staff were so lovely. Can't wait to go back!

Fantastic!

The spicy seitan options are delicious! The service is top notch! Highly recommended.

I'm not vegan but my partner is, so we came here on our visit. This place was excellent, great service and so much food.

Had the Vegetable Singapore Chow Mein and Salt and pepper chips, was absolutely fantastic!

Popped by yesterday for a very quick meal before a gig with my partner. We'd nvver been before so didnt know what to expect. When we arrived I said that we were in a rush and needed to be out the door in 30-40 mins (I know, far to rushed and quite rude) but the staff were sooo accommodating and went over and above to serve us and get our food out fast. Couldn't be more grateful! The portion sizes were generous and tasted amazing, great value! We will definitely be back to enjoy a relaxed meal! P.s. Get the salt and chilli tofu!!!

Food is great, staff are great, price is great. Everything here is great

Amazing vegan food

Amazing vegan food, we were so excited to come here as we had read so many good reviews. We weren't disappointed, delicious, and the staff were so welcoming and helpful.

Excellent service. Friendliest staff in Glasgow. So much choice!

I never knew vegan food could taste so good, definitely recommend to anyone

First time visiting Lotus - lovely friendly staff and the meal was delicious! So much choice and the prices were very reasonable too. Have already recommended to friends and will definitely be back!

Great food and very friendly staff. First ever time trying Vegan pork and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed excellent and I'll definitely be back, only thing is there is no alcohol on the menu I'm afraid.

Staff are kind and welcoming. Food is so so delicious (some things were a little too salty but it is very much comfort food). As most of my friends have dietary requirements or are vegan, they were not short for options, even the salt and chilli “chicken” tasted just like the real thing even though the restaurant doesn’t use meat! Only downside is the price is a little steep but the portion sizes are quite big so it is understandable. Will be back!

Amazing food. Excellent staff and great philosophy 🕉️

Extremely friendly staff, great food. Takeaway was ready in no time at all!

The food here was absolutely fabulous and excellent portions. But don't think this is fast food, you should enjoy the experience and atmosphere while waiting for your dish to arrive. Excellent spot for vegetarians and those with a gluten allergy or intolerance!

Amazing food, and incredibly warm, friendly service - can't wait to go again!
