I ordered a family meal for £39.00, which was significantly more expensive than other Chinese takeaways in the area. However, the quality of the food was extremely poor. The chicken in the meal resembled rubber, ruined my jaw, and the rice had an unpleasant, stale taste. Like it had been sitting for days. This experience was highly unsatisfactory, and I advise others to avoid purchasing food from this place. As a paying customer, I expected to receive a high-quality meal, but I was sorely disappointed. AVOID.

-Chicken in curry was like mushy rubber -Chicken in “crispy” lemon chicken was soggy -Chicken rice noodles were a pile of bland slop -Mix starter was dry as a bone Just basically paid £40.40 to dip a bit of prawn toast in black bean sauce Awful food

Have always loved the food from here but what have they done? Had a chicken curry with chips recently they put the chips in with the curry when they used to be separate and the curry had very sparce amounts of chicken and peas in it. Seems they have upped the prices and cut the ingredients. I have no objection to paying more but don't spoil your product by cutting it down. Very disappointed.

Where to start order a mega chicken salt and chill pepper box meal waited out side for 20 mins after then going in and waiting. The 2 young girls in the front desks were very rude and kept on swearing in front of me. Considering I am a paying costumer this is unexpected. I think the young one was training and learning the ropes and the front of house staff don’t even wash there hand when they go serve up your food will definitely 100% be contacting trading standards as there is definitely a breach here with this Chinese takeaway. In terms of the food it was cold and bland and all the meat had a weird aftertaste and the chicken wings were very bloody so was unable to eat a good portion of my food definitely would not recommend this Chinese take away.

I've been using lotus garden for over 26 plus years, and the food has always been consistent. In fact I would have and did rate it excellent, however......... I'm not sure if its changed hands, had new cooks or just buying cheap quality ingredients now. I always have the Singapore chow mein and know how it should be by previous standards. My Singapore chow mein was all glooped together and extreamly greasy ( its never been like this) in all the years I've been using them. No green peppers and the chicken wasn't cooked in soy sauce which all adds to the flavour of the food. 5 spice and pepper were also missing. Apparently the chef (very good English too informed me ppl don't like the peppers in it, lotus garden chefts don't speak very good English). Previous to this my order was messed up and was told I would have 2 free Singapore chow meins. I did say I will not be bothering to collect on it after the utterly disgusting dish I was served up on my last visit. I will not be returning anymore it pains me to say this as I need to find a replacement .

I won't go anywhere else, even though I've moved out the area, although I have on odd occasions if its been closed but nothing compares. tonight I popped in after the late shift at work to find the lights low and the guys closing up. I said not to worry I'd pop somewhere else. the young lad and young lady went out of their way to whip me up my meal. nothing seemed to much trouble. here's to the next 15years lol🥂😁

Placed an order and part of it was missing. I tried to phone but when the order came the shop was closed. Needless to say I’m very annoyed. The chips tasted like they’d been cooked in butter and some were undercooked. Not a good experience, even worse 1 family member had to do without food because of your mistake . Needless to say most of the food went in the bin. What a waste!

We chose lotus garden due to or usual being closed during lock down.

Ordered from here for 20 years plus. We noticed downturn in quality recently, then last night sent the whole family meal back. Poor quality but worse, hairs in the food. I spoke to the new owner on the phone. He was very apologetic and refunded the meal he blamed a bad batch of bean sprouts for the hairs. I asked why was he still serving them? he replied "its all the warehouse had". thats just silly. losing a load of clients over not getting another supply. We wont be using it again and only just found out Sue and Dave no longer own it. First meal in over 25 years returned. What a shame. The end of an era.

We don't usually have a Chinese takeaway, we like Indian food, but as a change, last night, I didn't feel like cooking an evening meal, so we decided to try the local Chinese takeaway. We rang up Lotus Garden and ordered the set meal for two, and was told that we could collect in fifteen minuets. When we collected the meal and got it home I was impressed by the lovely smell as I opened the piping hot dishes, the meal was tasty, hot, and the amount of food was adequate. It was an excellent meal, and will use this local Chinese takeaway again, soon.
