Difficult review to write. - the vegetarian chicken was one of the best I've ever eaten. Amazing. - the scallion pancakes were twice the size and twice the thickness that they usually are and mostly tasted like dense dough. We couldn't eat them. - the mapu tofu... We gave up immediately. It mostly tastes just sour (the sauce), the tofu pieces have not retained any of the sauce so they are just bland, and there are some sorry looking peas and carrots (???) floating around. -Portiton sizes are very big, so the two of us shared that portion and threw away the rest :-(
If we order from here again it will ONLY be the one of the chicken dishes...

Saw a review saying they had large portion and they were not lying. The picture I attached is all seitan except a few pieces for broccoli. Could’ve easy fed 3-4 people.
Great place for vegan options. Will definitely be coming back!
Edit: went here again twice more. Their fried chicken is really good. This will be my go to spot for vegan fast food as long as I’m the area!

I was here with my wife and we both enjoyed it a lot.
Tried General Tso’s chicken, boneless ribs, and a dumpling soup. The food was really good, the place feels cozy, and the hostess was super kind and welcoming.

If you’re looking for fresh, flavorful food and a welcoming atmosphere, Lotus Restaurant is a must-visit. Every dish I’ve tried here speaks to the care and quality that goes into their ingredients, nothing ever tastes pre-made or bland.
My personal favorites? The veggie rolls and the seitan teriyaki chicken. The veggie rolls are crisp, light, and packed with perfectly fresh vegetables and the seitan teriyaki chicken is flavorful and tender. Just absolutely delicious!
Plus, the staff is always friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is relaxed but refined. Give Lotus a try. You won’t be disappointed!

I would never get from here again the food was very tasteless and dry and unbeatable. If you wanna be disappointed order the GENERAL T SO taste like fried paper literally no sauce no veggies really bad and the lo mein OMGGG I can’t mad watery!! The best vegan place is zen vegetarian large portions and tasty. Here they have half size plastic containers so you’re getting half the amount by default because of the bowl used lol crazy I’m good on that!! How I add a picture it’s not showing the option smh I want yall to see what I ordered for $50

I will definitely be coming back here, they had a very large menu selection and I got the yakisoba noodle with vegetables & tofu, and a smoothie with banana, blueberry, strawberry & peanut butter. The price was very affordable, and the portion size was generous, I was shocked that I ate nearly the entire thing in one sitting, but the flavors were so good!
If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth stopping by, and the food was ready quickly

The pricing is good and food decent. The portion sizes are simply unreasonably large, making it difficult to order the right amount.
