| - At least where I'm from in the states, Chinese takeaway has a reputation for being greasy and inauthentic. But I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Lotus Garden.
The restaurant is small and seems mostly designed for take-out, but there are a few tables if you want to eat in. The owners were charming and fun to talk with. The woman at the order counter was extremely friendly and made sure I got everything I'd need: my order, any utensils, extra sauces, etc.
Based on previous reviews, I ordered the crispy beef and the chicken pakora. I wasn't a huge fan of the crispy beef. I didn't realize it would be so saucy and sweet. There wasn't any spice or kick to it, which I prefer. The chicken pakora, on the other hand, was amazing. It was spicy, juicy, and tender. Also, all of the food was prepared very quickly - maybe 5 minutes from when I ordered until when I got my food.
They have a lot of menu items, so I'll probably be back to try something else. You should stop by, too, if you want some quick and easy Chinese food!
