Impressive well crafted Chinese vegan dishes. Our photos were after initially tasting, that’s why empty places. It’s very difficult to make the dumpling pastry vegan and retain the correct texture for the dumplings and dim sum. Congrats to the chef. Flavours excellent and service very polite, friendly. Portion sizes are good and filling. We ordered 8 items between 2 adult, 1 child, we were very full and satisfied.

Second visit to Lotus. What a fantastic restaurant with an enormous, delicious menu! Definitely in a league of its own. The service is impeccable and the food is to die for. So much variety and so many different flavours which is such a rarity in a plant based restaurant. I highly highly recommend this restaurant. Clean, great service, wonderful food and lovely presentation. Mouth is watering writing this review!

The food was all delicious, we had the skewer combo sharing platter, BBQ rice bowl, Peking "ribs", and thick noodles with "beef". It was very well priced and good portion sizes for 2 people. The menu had loads of choice, will definitely be going back to try more things! The service was fantastic, so friendly and attentive.

We received a friendly welcome and the service was spot on all the way through. Great friendly atmosphere. So much to choose from and so bloody tasty. I will definitely be back

Wow! Incredible!! Best vegan Chinese restaurant by far! So delicious 😋, loved so much 😍! Wish I got more pictures but was too busy eating 😆 xx

This is my favourite place ever, have tried every single item on the menu in the past couple of years. Food is vegetarian/vegan and there is absolutely no compromise in terms of taste. Bao buns are my absolute must haves. Presentation is excellent and so is the service. The jasmine tea is sublime. Highly recommend!

Everything is delicious, carefully cooked and served piping hot. I am not a big fan of meat reproduction as have never eaten it so don't miss it but here it is nicely done and very edible. There are plenty of options with tofu or e.g. cashew nuts. Some interesting teas and cool drinks as well, all in all a great experience.

Little Gem based in Withington, atmospheric in side and out; Great presentation and plentiful portions of various vegan dishes! Great Services! Value for money options! Highly recommended!

They were really busy but our server was still so attentive and bubbly, fully vegan menu and the food is really tasty, you just cant decide!

I just had my meal in this restaurant and I must say it was fantastic! The waiter was really nice, the portion sizes are good and the food is delicious and well presented. If you visit Manchester this is an amazing restaurant for you to visit!

OMG I cannot praise this place enough. Amazing vegan Chinese food. So tasty. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Very clean and toilets very clean too. The Dim Sum and Tofu dishes are to die for. And the Crispy Wontons are the best I have EVER tried. Even my partner who is a meat eater 🙄 really enjoyed the food and he is VERY hard to please. We will be back for sure. Loved it 😊

This place does the best vegan food ever! We have ordered from here so many times and the food is incredible and the portion size is perfect. Highly recommend this place if you want amazing authentic vegan food .

Our favourite place to eat out. So many options, always fantastic service and quality food. BYOB too. Great place for a relaxed evening with family.

Excellent tasting food, definitely going back. Every item cooked well, great choices of dim sum and many of your Chinese favourites, all vegan of course, and without onions and garlic.

I am visiting the UK from the US and was worried finding vegan options would be difficult. This place is one of many that caught my eye, and I think everyone should give it a try! The inside is fairly small, which is something I like, as it won't be overcrowded or loud. It's very cute and clean. The employees are very friendly, attentive, and helpful at explaining the menu if you've never been. Something that's hard for me to find in the US is vegan Asian dishes so when I saw this place I was worried the food wouldn't be great or there wouldn't be many options but the ENTIRE menu is vegan and the food was absolutely fantastic, I'll be going again before I leave. I ordered jasmine tea, bao buns (duck is something I miss a lot from before I was vegan and the texture and flavor of this hit the spot and was similar to actual duck buns I had in the past), caramel tofu, and pi pa tofu. The textures and flavors are fantastic!

Absolutely delicious food. Extensive menu. Very friendly and knowledgeable service. Cannot recommend highly enough if you are looking for a fabulous food experience.

I highly recommend Lotus Plant-Based Kitchen to anyone seeking traditional Chinese and Asian vegan food bursting with flavor. It's a place where you can indulge guilt-free in the delightful fusion of taste and health.

Love this place , and so does my partner who is not a vegetarian / vegan. Amazing food, lovely food and a nice cosy atmosphere . We keep going back as there are so many new dishes to try.

Excellent plant based menu. My husband has a dairy allergy, great to find an excellent restaurant that caters. We travelled 30 miles to try, so glad we did.

Amazing experience. Shocked that its vegan, no onion no garlic and it still had flavour. Highly recommended. Exceptional service and very kind.

The Lotus Plant Based Kitchen exceeded our (high!) expectations! First class service, nice atmosphere and delicious food. My mushroom allergy was taken seriously and I felt confident about what did/din not contain them. Gluten free options were clearly marked. There are many options and the servings are a good size so you would need lots of visits to try everything! The kids have already planned what to order on a return visit next time we are in Manchester!

Amazing food and super friendly staff, definitely will be visiting again ❤️

Absolutely incredible fully vegan Chinese menu. Highly recommend the crispy chilli szechuan beef and the char siu bao. Such kind and friendly staff too. Would definitely visit each time I'm in Manchester

Food is amazing, all vegan. 2 really friendly guys work front of house and are very knowledgeable about the menu. This was our favourite restaurant while we lived in Manchester.

The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the dish with wood ear mushrooms and bamboo shoots. There were other delicious varieties of mushrooms in the dish, too, so if you like mushrooms, I recommend it. The proprietors are very pleasant and friendly and provide superb service. The furniture is nice (especially the chairs), and the atmosphere is pleasant.

Lots of vegan options and well presented. Gluten free versions of some of the dishes are available, but you need to ask the staff. It would be useful if they were stated on the menu.

Top class food. They back very strong. Thank you very much Sally!!!! ❤️

Just had a takeaway from here really good food no onions or garlic great if allergies as can choose from whole menu

Delicious, well worth a visit! We came here a few times when it was Lotus Vegetarian Kitchen - it was excellent back then too. The atmosphere is peaceful, and staff are courteous and friendly. They checked if we had any allergies when we ordered. There's loads of tasty dishes - noodles, rice, dumplings, mock meat, vegetable dishes... And they all taste great!
