My girlfriend and I are new in town and we have been here twice and we have not been disappointed. The waitresses have been friendly and attentive the prices are reasonable and the portions are good. We have ordered a different dish each time we go and each time they have been Delicious definitely coming back.

Had a great meal the food is really good, portions are filling and the presentation was great. This is a lower resteraunt and they brought the food out in a lod trolley that was stained and looked really dirty. The tables have a plastic thin cover on them I guess too make it easier to clean up but made it feel like I was about to get shrimp boil poured on the table. If the food wasn’t real good I would’ve given fewer stars.

Well, needless to say, guys, it isn’t the same owner anymore. Lots of us were looking forward to the original fresh taste in our fav. Dishes as mine is the chicken almond total different ball game. It used to be as it reads chicken almonds, now they add all these veggies that don’t belong in the dish. As the other two dishes they were ok, not the best but ok. The restaurant is still the same. We thought it was remodeled, but no. They were some changes, and not everything did away with fish tanks. But as far as food goes. Well, you are not to get the same taste as before. I got used to the cook Manuel he knew his stuff. And made the dishes taste different. I’m just not a fan of this one. The tastes are similar to the one on Alton gloor or boca Chica, so for me, either get the recipe from the prior cook/cooks or it ain’t cutting it. Sorry guys, it really was a nah! From me. Give it a try. Your taste buds be the judge. As far as staff waiting Well they need more help because one or two waitresses aren’t cutting it. Either they are waiting on too many tables and forgetting items for the clients. Their job ain’t easy. I’m just saying they need more help during rush hours. Oh, and the chips on the table were horrible, very stale, that the grease gets on your palette or roof of mouth. Fix that make them fresh, yall.

They have a Friendly staff, and food was served fresh. But chow mein plate is not what it should be, It’s an all cabbage stir fry that is very bland… no noodles.

I love Lotus Inn, I do, my only concern is there isn’t much attentiveness lately. My mom had to get up to look for someone at the register to come give us tea for our drink refills. I saw our waitress pass by while my cup was empty and not once come back after food was done. We went at 3pm and we were the only table there other than a booth until about 430pm. Other than that, excellent food and ambiance.

Oh she place wrong receipt. And commented the manager will jave me the worker paid the difference. Wow. Price $$ yes expensive. Not coming back in a month. Recommend come on your own risk.

Very rude service from waitress named Vanessa. Slammed my plate that people actually turned around. Had to tell my son to get refills in the front three times for the table. I asked her why the bad service. She said so rudely.. “se siente bien ma’am o que” I just said obviously not right. Horrible service.
