Lotus Garden Chinese Cuisine 439 South Ellsworth Road, Mesa, AZ 85208

"Dined in for the first time around 3 pm. on a Monday. I've been getting togos or delivered for years from them. Pretty quiet inside but for the corney old music playing & and it's slightly stuffy & warm inside. At one point, some really annoying, loud alarm sounding machine by the register was going off for 5 minutes until kitchen staff finally turned it off. 4 stars is only because the food is good, just I've had better. Also, they carry Pepsi & I dislike that soda. It's a nice little place, just not quite a "top shelf" restaurant. I would be impressed if a date took me there. My family loved the food, cooked & and served very quickly after ordering. I like that they have the Singapore noodles that are made from rice. The waitstaff is very attentive. They happily make off menu adjustments for a few extra bucks. The entryway floor is always covered in tracked in leaves and dust from outside. And there was a red pepper flake on a zuchini from a dish that had no red peppers suggesting the cook was using dirty utensils to serve food. The walnut shrimp was alright... Some of the shrimp was fried with the tail still on & the sauce wasn't fully mixed in. Overall, it's pretty good, though."

"I saw great reviews about this place and they did not disappoint! We asked about Vegetable Egg Foo Young which is not on the menu but, they were happy to make it and it was DELICIOUS! We also ordered General Tso's Chicken and it was what we call, "Chef's Kiss!" Their Hot and Sour soup was also VERY good! We have decided that we are making this our new favorite Chinese restaurant. The service was great, very attentive staff and super CLEAN too."

"This place is not good. The “fried rice” side is literally white rice with soy sauce on it or something. Definitely not real fried rice. The orange chicken is listed as HOT and it’s not in the slightest bit spicy. AT ALL. it was exactly the same as the sesame chicken. We ordered chicken chow mein and got some sort of watery chicken vegetable concoction. So gross. I have no clue how this place has such good reviews, the people in the area must not know what good Chinese food is. :( also, WAY too expensive for the quality of this food. I am so so so disappointed"

"Decided to try Lotus Garden because several people in the community where I live said it’s good. Hubby and I ordered the Singapore noodles, curry chicken and black bean fish. Everything was very good. The curry chicken was a tad too spicy for me, but good. The place is clean. The people are nice. It’s wheelchair friendly. The prices are very reasonable too."

"Tried the new kid on the block and was pleasantly surprised. Soft white rice and freshly made Beef N Broccoli. It maybe a simple meal. But, it's a meal that can set the tone how they will make your other dishes. Will be back to try other plates. Highly recommend as of now."
