At first we passed this little island of a building but circled back, and wondered how we missed it. 🤷♀️ I rated atmosphere a 3 but that’s just from walking in to pick up take out. It seemed ok inside, just nothing to write home about. The service was as good as you could hope for when calling in and picking up a food order: pleasant, friendly and correct.
I loved the fried rice (though I asked for extra egg and there was hardly any), the sweet and sour chicken was average, and the flavours of the vegetable dishes were excellent. My only complaint was that I found some of the vegetables slightly overcooked (eg. Broccoli)
Prices were comparable. Would order from them again.
This place is great. I used to live just up the road from it and now go across the city bypassing a dozen other Chinese restaurants along the way because it’s worth it. It’s not fancy, the building itself isn’t anything special but I don’t think anyone goes for the atmosphere. It’s all about the food. There is always a steady stream of customers and delivery drivers picking up takeout. We have yet to be disappointed by a single item after years of ordering. It’s been around forever and I hope it always is.
Best Chinese food we’ve had in London. The fried rice and soup were loaded with huge chunks of meat and vegetables, the beef and chicken were tender, just a fantastic meal, delivered quickly, at a reasonable price.
This is our go to place. I live in old south and this is the best place around. The beef and broccoli is super good but there is not a lot of beef but its still super tasty. The special fried noodle with chicken is fantastic. If you do not like a lot of batter on your chicken balls this is your place. The only bad things I can say is the egg rolls and spring rolls are very small and not worth the price.

OMG THE BEST CHINESE FOOD I HAVE HAD IN 20 years. !!!!!!!!
Full of flavour.
Good portions.
Friendly prompt service.
I will definitely order here again when I am in London.
If you want good Chinese food order here. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Exceĺlent Food. My family has been eating at Lotus for more than 30 years and the quality remains the same. But if you are looking for an updated fine dining restaurant this isn't the place for you. It's a bit run down inside and service by wait staff is good but not excellent. The food is the thing though and I mainly do take out. Try it. You won't be disappointed by the fresh and delicious taste.
Everything was hot and ready for pick up! Staff were very friendly! Everything tasted amazing! Chicken balls were delicious, breaded shrimp, moo goo guy pan, Chinese vegetables - everything was so so good. :)
Don't judge this book by the cover bc their food is soo good! One of the best in London!! I would definitely say though, not for fine dining, only why I gave ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mapo tofu was on point and was simply delicious. We got some dumplings as well and they were wonderfully pan seared on the side to add texture. Dishes were flavourful and the servers were very polite and welcoming.
Great takeout place! You can get a mountain of food, and something for everyone. Good prices too. The chicken and almonds is a fave. Dig in!
