My first and last time here. It smells horrible like bad eggs and is way too thick like slime. ??? I was very hungry but I could not even swallow a spoonful.

Lotus cafe is the best! I’ve been coming here since they opened and they are the only place that makes crispy scallion chicken! Which is the what I get every time. As well as their crab Rangoon! I don’t live as close as I used to, but I always get it whenever I’m in the area.
Ok wow 3 years ago this place was the best in Ballantyne for the $….. The past two visits food has been a nightmare…Anything chicken comes out dry regardless of how much sauce it has . I think that is their coverup but ends up a mushy mess with string chicken. Avoid beef at all cost unless you are a boiled in a bag .. “MRE” kind of person .

The food may be edible but the new owner appears to be displaying some racist tendencies.

The General Tzo chicken had a mushy breading, not crispy like other places.
We are from NY so very picky with our Chinese takeout — this place is tasty and consistent! Our go to!

I am disappointed to share that though the food is decent, the service is terrible. I specifically mean the delivery service. I had ordered my food online, and added a $2 tip on top of the $3 deliver charge. I may be naive, but I thought a $2 tip to bring my food bag from the car to my front door was appropriate. Once the man brought my food, he asked me to enter a tip. Awkwardly, I enter ANOTHER $2 tip, and he proceed to harrass me that he "drove all the way over here for a $2 tip". Mind you, Lotus Cafe is 2.8 miles from my house. I am appalled that this delivery driver would give me grief for only tipping him $2 to walk my food bag from his car to my front door, which is maybe 10 feet from the driveway. I am just disgusted with the audacity that people feel they DESERVE a tip for doing their job. Chinese food is Chinese food. There's nothing special here. The delivery service has turned me off from this restaurant forever.
