Today I ordered Stir Fried On Choy but it wasn’t fresh, so I asked to change it. The waitress her name Amy still charged me for that dish and refused to remove it from the bill, saying the manager was “sleeping” at 7:00PM! I paid but didn’t leave a tip because of her poor attitude — and she was clearly unhappy about it. Very unprofessional service. I won’t come back.
I came to this restaurant and ordered a plate of seafood stir-fried noodles. Unfortunately, the noodles were spoiled — they had a sour taste, clearly due to being left out too long. I politely informed the waitress about the issue, but she ignored my concern and walked away to serve other customers without offering any help or apology.
Despite the poor service and the bad food, I still paid in full. Before leaving, I told the waitress to please let the kitchen know not to serve spoiled food to customers again. Shockingly, she told me to “go down to the kitchen and tell the chef yourself.”
This experience was extremely disappointing. I hope the restaurant takes food safety and customer service more seriously in the future. No customer should be treated this way.
I got take out. Surprisingly good with very fair pricing. I'm going back to explore more of the menu. Friendly employee at the checkout, too.

#80 Large Pho is great. Plentiful and flavored beef broth with lots of thin slices of flank steak, beef balls, and tripe. Just add lime and your favorite chili sauce. Enjoy.

Was running late to pick up food and they waited for me to get there before closing. Glad they did because the food was great. Will definitely order from again.

Best Chinese food I've had in years and one of the only places that makes great pork. I wish I could eat it every day.

Lotus is a Chinese/Vietnamese Restaurant and shares the same owners and parking lot as the Minh Huong Supermarket. Lotus is a great event center with multiple dining rooms with the ability to rent upstairs space. You can enter from the back if you park in the lot.
We found the restaurant to be outdated, not as clean, the food quality and taste was mediocre and the parking was terrible. Glad we had disabled placard but had to wait because someone parked illegally which caused major chaos with 2 other cars trying to maneuver out of the way safely while backing up into the Euclid Ave.
We ordered our usual go to items which would determined if we would return.
Glazed walnut shrimp ($14.99): The nuts were stale. It was soft and oily. Shrimp lacking crunchy edges.
Clay pot fish ($15.99) Lots of fish slices but too much skin because they were end pieces and not filets. Not complaining about the portions. This dish was consistent but they could use a new clay pot.
Sweet and sour tamarind fish soup (s $19.99): we thoroughly enjoyed this soup. I would prefer a tad bit more tamarind spice but it was delicious regardless. The small size was enough to feed 4 with left overs.
3 item rice ($12.99): Vietnamese translation on the menu said “broken rice”. It was regular rice. By the look of this dish alone, I lost my appetite. The pork chops were dry, spam was over cooked and the steam egg loaf was not fresh.
Combination crispy noodle ($13.99): We loved this dish. Protein included chicken, beef, seafood. Noodles were crispy and not stale. Decent flavor.
Overall, very affordable and banquet size portions. I’ll have to pass based on the inconvenient parking, poor execution and lack of flavor.
2.5 stars, rounding to 3 because of the price and generous portions. Inflation in this economy is real but Lotus is able to feed many families with their price point.
