    I used to order from this restaurant went down to horrible food greasy spring roll smelled ruined so did the lomain wet and greasy food with ruined odor threw it straight in the garbage waste of $25.00 never agin!! Gave them one last chance today again bc I’m sick and wanted wonton soup better of with instant ramen! The wonton walling apart in the soup and barely any in there horrible! Fried rice was horrible and taste bland! Once again my money in the garbage 🗑 they were decent before the pandemic but now just no good food anything I get from them!!! $20 in the trash

    Fast prep, good food. Would order there again. The drumsticks are a nice texture, the oyster mushrooms were nice and crispy.

    My partner and I have ordered from Lotus countless times now, especially being my partner doesn’t typically eat meat. Lotus has become one of our favorites due to the fact you are given large portions at super affordable prices. We’ve ordered food that has lasted us 1-3 days at their low prices compared to food from other locations that would only last us the night at hiked up prices. Our favorites are the general Tso, chicken teriyaki, boneless ribs and mango teriyaki. Now although the names say chicken, it’s really soy protein. All the main dishes come with some aspect of veggies which is nice and rice is available to order as a side. If we’re being honest their nuggets, spicy fries and scallion pancakes are addicting but all these items are fried so it’s really our guilty pleasure. Definitely recommend trying them though and you’ll see what I mean. Overall, Lotus is a reliable, efficient and tasty option!

    She always remembers my face when I come (which isn't often) and those pepper and salt oyster king mushrooms are so good I dream about them. I really like their food and have been going there for years infrequently (because I'm so far away). I really love Buddhist food.

    I want to break this review into 2 sections, (a) the food, and (b) the quality of service. A) I've been coming here for about 1 year and a half now and tried many things on the menu. The food has also been consistently fresh, tastey, with fantastic portions. I usually grab dinner here, but the prices for the lunch specials is literally under $10 with a side order included (which is miraculous considering how expensive things are today). Personally I am not a vegan/ vegetarian, but if I do become one on day, quality food like this would certain make the transition easy! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to cut back on meat but with all the flavor of some of your traditional chicken based dish. My top recommendations: 1. Bbq Ribs 2. General Tsp Chicken 3. Chicken Nuggets 4. Scallion Pancakes B) First time I came to this restaurant, I placed an order for pick up, and the owner asked my name for my order, which I provided. Ever since then she never forgot my face or my name. By my second visit, I simple stepped inside the restaurant for pickup, without even saying a word, she brought my order out to me! It may seem insignificant, but little things like this goes a long way to making a customer feel welcomed and appreciated. They are very attentive and honestly the service you is wonderful. Excellent food, and excellent service, what more can you ask for! Also, its quiet and cozy inside... which is great too. Verdict: 10/10 and definitely worth it.

    Quaint, clean environment. Friendly and professional staff. I had the "Chicken Nuggets," "Fried Chicken," and Thai Ice Tea (all orders of Thai Ice Tea are made with Almond Milk). I really enjoyed everything, including the fries and tater tots. I highly recommend this establishment, although take out might be ideal because there is no air conditioning. The portions are large, so be prepared to share, like I did, and take home, which I also did l.

    LOVE this place! It’s all vegan (besides like two dishes and they say it on the menu). I would suggest getting the sesame “chicken” and the lo mein with “chicken”. Also their dishes are reasonably priced! $12.50 for an entree (pictured)

    If I could give this place two scores, one would be terrific, and the other mediocre. At its best, there are good ingredients, each dish prepared differently, with flavorful and distinctive sauces. At its worst, while the ingredients remain good, the cooking is sloppier, the flavors bland, and dishes taste the same. With better consistency, this place could be 4.5 stars.

    I ordered take out: Tofu with garlic sauce Curry soy protein (with steamed tofu instead of soy protein) Service: The woman who answered the phone was courteous, helpful, and willing to make modifications. The food was delivered promptly (within 30 minutes). The delivery person would not come upstairs, or even inside the building when I buzzed the door open. Food: Overall, the food was tasteless and greasy. The garlic sauce tofu basically just tasted like vegetable oil. I had to add soy sauce and apple cider vinegar to make it taste better. The curry was more flavorful, but I did have to add some soy sauce. The rice tasted like cardboard, but I didn't expect better.

    Highly recommended. Some of the best Vegan food that I've ever experienced. Always clean and tidy here. Major cards welcome and accepted. Clean restroom available. The staff is super nice, friendly, accommodating. The lady often remembers your favorite dishes. 🙂 She makes menu recommendations as well. Pricing is a bit high. Come in for the lunch special. Plenty of seating available. The food is absolutely delicious. I've enjoyed several dishes here. I recommend the Curry Seitan Vegan "Beef." Overall highly recommended.

    Vegan chicken nuggets are top tier.

  • 1/5 Lo H. 1 year ago on Google
    I would not recommend this place. There are better and healthier selections of vegan restaurants to choose from in the neighborhood. I ordered from them a few times just for the LoMein and drumstick until there was a long strand of hair in my LoMein and my drumstick tasted very bitter. Not again!!!

    I Love going here when I can! Sammy Always Take Care of Me with L8V3! the Food is Affordable & Delicious! Definitely A Must Try! ASIATIC! 🙏🏿💛🇨🇳☮🇲🇦💚🙏🏿

  • 4/5 Nick M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is really very good,especially the salads ie: The Buddha bowl. The General Tso's tofu is good but there is very little Sauce on the Tofu which can make it dry. The lady who takes the orders over the phone is abrupt but gets the order right and that is the main thing. Finding a vegetarian only restaurant in this neighborhood is not that easy,so.we are glad to have Lotus so close by.

    Incredible vegan food that I can’t recommend enough! I felt so light yet full after eating here and it’s clear they use the freshest veggies!

    All I wanted was some dessert. Ordered a couple of slices of cake and they arrived frozen. Not just frozen, but freezer burned. Couldn't finish of course and had stomach pains anyway. Now I don't trust them at all.
