I don’t understand why so many comments are negative. Got this around 19:00 and it was hot, chicken was crunchy and Rangoons were one point. Will always return. 👍🏼 Remember this is fast food not five star dining. Food: 4 Service: 4

Try out the "me-me" chicken, it's unique to Lotus afaik. It's like a blend of cashew, sweet and sour, and general. Everything I've ever had here is good though and it's very affordable.

The Sesame Chicken is literally frozen pre-made box chicken over a sauce that isn't Sesame. It's thick, probably canned, and the wrong color. The taste isn't bad, but you can literally make it at home for cheaper. Also the smell is horrendous, like literal garbage. The staff...Read More
