In Vinton (and Iowa in general) for the first time. I needed something quick and convenient and Lotus popped up first in my search. I’m so pleasantly surprised by my first meal in Iowa!
The service was great! The hostess was so kind and helpful. I did a pick up order online and she called to confirm the order and estimated time and then called back when it was ready. I had my hands full when I walked in and she was helpful in getting my order ready for me. It seemed busy...read full review
Our family went to lotus to enjoy Mother's Day / college graduation. Every seat in the house was filled at exactly the same time. Look like opening night for food critic show. The food was great The service was great. It was obvious there were a bit overwhelmed but the quality did not suffer at all. I was very thankful our family was able to enjoy the meal together that day
Amazing lady and amazing food, me and my girlfriend loved the experience!!

Based on the reviews, Lotus Restaurant offers great, flavorful Chinese food in a picturesque downtown Vinton. The food is amazing and always fantastic, with specific meals like General Tso's chicken (white meat), Hunan Chicken, Hot and Sour soup, egg rolls, and fried rice being highlighted as some of the most delicious and flavorful meals in years. The service is great, with a kind and helpful hostess who provides an energetic and friendly greeting. However, the service can be really slow, especially during busy times, so diners should not be in a hurry. The restaurant can be overwhelmed when every seat is filled, but the quality does not suffer. The owner is friendly and cheerful. While the take out wait time can be long on Friday and Saturday nights, it is worth the wait. Overall, Lotus provides a plausible dining experience and is a must stop for great Chinese food.
