A staple restaurant for the surrounding community. Great veggie dishes too! Weekend lunch specials are inexpensive. Good food! More

Had spicy chicken and almond chicken with a friend. Both were well prepared. The pre meal appetizers need some work. However the food was very good and the service attentive. The ambiance is very nice, quiet and intimate. A good venue for conversation and eating. You will not be herded through the cattle stall in this place. Take your time... More

We went on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. What a mistake. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful. The food....horrible. People seem to have forgotten what good Chinese good tastes like since there are not many Chinese restaurants left in the I.E. I would not take this home to my dog. More

Either the buffet or the dining room have friendly staff, fresh everything, layer and layers of far-east flavors. Those spicy green beans go with everything. More

Although they gave us all our food for free (inc our takeout), I never go back again. I was chewing on a cigarette butt. More

I was surprised to read the negative reviews. They are simply not justified. I've been a customer for 10+ years and I've had nothing but great service and quality food. Even though, I've only tried their vegetarian options, I have friends who have tried the non-vegetarian options and they thought the food was delicious. In fact, a classmate of mine... More

I used to come here for the buffet so I thought I'd try the restaraunt. It was terrible. My wife and I ordered from the Lotus Garden special dinner. The standard spring roll, crab wonton (good), tempura shrimp, chicken in foil, and strip of beef came out first. The beef was huge... and stringy and tasteless. First suggestion - half... More

As a vegetarian, I can only speak on such. This is by far the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Maybe I just happen to get 2 horrible dishes, but these were incredibly close to inedible, I didn't eat much, had a lot of rice (which was free, I did like that). The mock Chicken, by far the worst fake... More
