The lunch special prices and selections are some of the best I've seen. This is what you receive for under $10.00:
- Your choice of entree that comes with fried rice
- Your choice of soup (egg drop or wonton) or house salad
- And an egg roll
I went for the Shrimp in Lobster Sauce -- without fried rice on the side -- and egg drop soup. Not enough "egg drop" in my soup, and my entree was lacking in the taste department. The sauce was on the gelatinous side, and I didn't care for the bits of beef scattered throughout. Furthermore, the vegetables tasted like they were fresh from the freezer. As for the egg roll, there's nothing exciting about it, but it is packed with veggies and rice noodles.
The service is quick; my co-worker and I received our food in under 10 minutes. I should also add that the employees here are resourceful. My co-worker wanted to take her Thai iced tea to go and asked if she could get a to go cup. The server returned with a small food container with a hole poked through the lid for the straw -- Hey, it worked!
Lotus Garden Cuisine may not be the best Chinese food I've had, but it sure beats going to a place like Panda Express.
