It's great to have a reliable, fast takeout spot with solid versions of American Chinese dishes like kung pao chicken and sesame chicken. The lunchtime sushi deal is also great.

I was left disappointed after seeing the 4 star rating and good reviews. I had ordered the appetizer combo (crab Rangoon's, chicken fingers and dumplings) with fried rice. I also ordered the beef entree combo (Szechuan beef with vegetables). There was barely any filling in the crab Rangoon. The Chicken fingers had a weird after taste. The beef Szechuan with vegetables was decent. The food was nothing special. My expectations of American Chinese food are not that high but tonight's dinner was disappointing.

Went to pick up some food late New Year's Eve. The guys were very accommodating. Quick and it tasted great. They forgot to put in an order of crab rangoons but they did right with me when I called them. Definitely try them.

I was craving some Asian food, and this place turned up! I got pad thai with tofu to go. The sauce pooled at the bottom and left most of the noodles without taste, but I enjoyed the noodles with sauce. The tofu was good too. It was also pretty quick from ordering to getting the food. It took about 10 minutes or so.

Delicious sushi! I really enjoyed my meal: the Spicy California Maki, Philadelphia Maki and Spicy Tuna Maki with Miso Soup. I used Yelp to order my delivery, and the only downside was that I wasn't notified when it arrived. I did go outside eventually and find it there, still yummy and fresh. Overall 4/5! I will be back!
My husband and I were craving dumplings/Chinese on this Friday night (10/6/23) and fortunately for us we chose Lotus. I actually drive by it everyday, I work at the bank up the street, and always say I’m going to try it, and when my other half suggested it, I decided it was a sign from above. I ordered the fried rice with roasted pork, scallion pancakes (they came with like 8 triangle pieces, great portion), 8 pc. Pan fried dumpling (so good) and General Gao Chicken. First I’ll say, best fried rice from a quick serve Asian restaurant in the same category by far. Everything about it was just so fresh and I’m very particular about fried rice. It wasn’t dry, or burnt it was perfectly cooked with a liberal amount of egg (which I really like) and like I said it just tasted so good and fresh. My husband also echoed that opinion. Scallion pancakes were on point as were the dumplings, which is what I was really craving. I didn’t have room for Gen. Gao chicken but my husband said 5/5, will def eat again. I just want to once again emphasize how hot and fresh everything was once we got home after driving 20 minutes or so. ?The employees inside were very kind, and everyone said hello and greeted customers, not just the waiter/staff person up front, who was also very kind and friendly. Will definitely return.
I was driving by and a sudden urge came over me to try Lotus Express. What great choice. A nice little spot, cute decor. I was ordering takeout. Chicken fingers, crab Rangoon and the Japanese Red Curry. The food came out quickly. I had an amazing conversation with the gentleman up front. What a great day. Awesome service. Amazing food and friendly people.

Eating in was fine . The minute I ordered delivery everything was wrong , My order never made it in my hands The driver left it in lobby so now I'm hungry,Frustrated and 50 dollars short. I was cleared up after an hour of convincing I never received food but overall I did get refunded.
