Lotus Gardens - London, Ontario

Some of the best Chinese food out there. Better than Mandarin. The dining room is permanently closed, so they're not going to renovate it.

Food was pre ordered and was on time- however it was trash. Dinner for 5 and a couple extra things was over $120.00. Much less food then we usually get at little panda for less than 90.00. Worst egg rolls I’ve ever had in my life. They were tiny and extra ... hard at the ends. Seemed stale and over cooked with hardly anything in them. Deep fried Won tons had no meat in them and the centres were so hard you feared breaking a tooth. Everything else was very much lacking flavour and the red sauce tasted like it had cinnamon in it. Complete fail. Would never eat Chinese again if this is what was being served. Go elsewhere. Read more

I wasn't very happy with the dinner for 2 . The chicken balls were very small. I'm not sure but it looked like the chicken balls you get from m and m meats. Very processed and small. We were both still hungry after eating the whole meal. The chowmain had ... only a couple pieces of beef in it. After I ate it I remembered that after I ordered it from.the same place a couple years ago that I swore I would never go back I paid 37.00 for a meal that was made cheap and small. If your hungry I would suggest not to order there. I will definitely remember never to go back again no matter how many years go by. That's my opinion anyway. Read more

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. Read more

I ordered their dinner for three, which was supposed to include a beef and mushroom chow mein. However, upon arriving home, I realized they had given me a beef and mushroom chop suey instead. Naturally, I called the restaurant assuming they'd recognize the mix-up and offer a resolution. Unfortunately, I was ... met with surprising resistance. The person on the phone insisted that the two dishes were essentially the same, despite the clear differentiation on their menu. What baffled me further was the fact that these two dishes were listed as distinct menu items with separate prices. As a member of the Wortley community, I've always believed in supporting local businesses. It's unfortunate that I found myself in this situation. This incident not only reflects a lack of attention to detail but also a concerning unwillingness to take responsibility for their errors. I value honesty and transparency in any business I support, and this experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth. It's disheartening to see a restaurant that I once thought highly of resort to such tactics. Read more
