Atmosphere was nice, busy and a good service. First time I tried this takeaway, food however was of a low quality and bland. Over priced and poor quality, won’t be returning

Got 2 chilli oil and chicken balls. Every bite took of my food with the chilli oil added was stone after stone. Terrible terrible, I have lost total faith in Lotus Chafford. Yuk!

Nothing special about their special fried rice. Was just plain boiled rice with a dash of mixed vegetables . Completely lacked flavour. The sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style was overly dry, crispy and hard to eat. All in all a bad takeout experience on a bank holiday weekend.

Food quality has gone down the hill. Prices gone up but portions are much smaller. It used to be quite compact on the container but now it's loose Our last crackers had to be thrown away because they were yellow. It was either cooked in old oil or maybe just overcooked. I was very disappointed because that's my favourite. Please bring back the high standards you used to have otherwise you'll be loosing customers

One of the best Chinese takeaway in the area. The only down side is they don’t do delivery. My advice would be order it on the phone first and once you get there the food would be ready.

This is a fabulous takeaway, very conveniently located in a small shopping complex. There is plenty of adjacent parking. My favourite dish is the Szechuan Chicken which is spiced up with additional 🌶s and chilli oil, superb. Their prawn crackers are excellent too with no residual old oil smells and are not greasy when picked up. My family also have Tofu and noodles dishes that they throughly enjoy. Recommended 👌

Just had food from this dump again. Order wrong and food honestly inedible. How do you mess up food so badly. I don't have words for how awful this place is. Avoid avoid avoid. Chinese New Year take away and it was vile. All just over-fried junk. Place was disgusting inside, filthy in the cooking area, staff were ignorant and the whole place had the most downbeat awful dirty atmosphere. We order wide range of stuff for 4 adults and all of it was just bland no taste greasy junk. Place used to be decent now it is a dive in my opinion. We are not fussy eaters but this was a new low.

It used to be one of my favorite chinese takeaway restaurant around grays, the food has gone downhill over the years and I've just wasted my money today because it ended up in the bin. The taste was horrible...

I used to be a regular here. Staff were friendly and as I was a regular was usually honoured with free prawn crackers. However, seems like there has been a change of hands in recent months. The receptionist is quite rude, never smiles and even when I asked if it had changed management she denied it. Food has definitely changed too, can tell it is poor quality ingredients and watered down

Used this place a few times in the past 6 months but unfortunately i cannot rate it higher than a 3. The sauces are average and the rice doesnt seem like its fried. Chips are ok but the noodles can be very hit and miss, sometimes slimy, tasteless and undercooked. The chicken balls were decent. Other places are cheaper and tastier though so its not likely i would return

I had ordered 6 dishes off there menu, when asking how long this would be, they stated 15mins for collection!!!!! That was shocking to me, as this did not seem to be cooked from fresh, when going home and plated My food which was only 4mins away from restaurant the food was cold, which then made me think that it must of been microwaved, which the plastic container was hot but the food inside cold as fridge, which I find unacceptable, I guess if you order fried food I.e chicken balls they would have to cook it fresh, after I reheaded it in my own microwave the taste was not all that.i hope they read this review and work on making sure all food is hot through out.i don't know if I would order again..

I ordered a takeaway from Lotus 6 months ago. When it arrived we found a dead fly in one of the dishes. Called to complain and they honoured a 20% off our next order. When calling a couple of months after to make an order, they refused the 20% off, were extremely rude and said they had no record of it. Disgusting customer service, disgraceful attitude by the manager!!

Great and fast service but taste wise was very disappointing; ordered 5 different mains plus starters around £40 but food has no taste at all. Very close and handy from my house but preffer to order from Grays loads better. Feel bad for them cause the location is very clean and organized but taste of food needs to be improved. 😒

An insult to Chinese food. Last two times they missed stuff out of the order or gave us the wrong thing. The prawn toast was cold and fatty. There has never been a duck out of water that was so dry. They have a pretty captive market and so continue, but the food is awful.

hi google user, sorry you had a bad food experience with us. however we dont use curry powder, we use a spicy curry paste. And we dont claim to have the exact taste of food to where you have travelled but we do try. we hope you will give us another try to get it right for you. Lotus

Very poor performance from this brunch should be embarrassed no-one had a clue what they was doing, didn’t switch gloves when handling with different meat so this place isn’t really helpful to none meat eaters and the worst part is that they also didn't have any hairnets on and when I asked the lady “do you not have any hairnets?” She replied “no-one has it on”, in a food department it’s a massive requirement when your dealing with food that you should be always wearing hairnets especially with long hair because situations like e.g. you will find hair in your food like me and my wife experienced it I wouldn’t even send my enemies to this trash establishment

Got a salted caramel frappe and thought it tasted a bit weird, might have been my own preference but went to the counter to get a cup of tea instead. I was refunded for the drink and also given the tea for free, really excellent customer service. Tea was great!
