“It was the first time I’d been there in over a decade. My fiancé and I stopped in for dinner. We started with an order of fried wantons and they were just perfect. Them he had the sweet and sour shrimp, which he said was very good. I had the mandarin chicken with the gravy served on the side. The chicken seemed a bit over cooked, to me, and was slightly hard to chew. When our server asked how things were, I told her it was good, but I was a bit disappointed in the doneness of the chicken. I wasn’t even trying to send it back but she immediately picked the plate up and returned it to the kitchen. Within minutes, she returned with a fresh plate of chicken, lightly fried, and it was amazing…just the way I remembered it from years ago. The pork fried rice was better than any other restaurant for miles around. I had forgotten how similar China Lotus was to Trey Yuen, a Chinese restaurant that is no longer open in Hammond, but was a favorite of many when it was (I miss it so much!!). I can honestly say I’ll be back but I’ll order during lunch hours instead of dinner because the dinner menu is a little pricey. Well worth it, but pricey. The service was excellent!! I couldn’t ask for a more polite, attentive server. The entire experience was way beyond our expectations.“
