You just have to try the kung po prawn or duck in sweet chilli sauce, the chicken curry melts in your mouth

Always first class food, friendly service and fair pricing. Thoroughly recommend this establishment. Closed on Tuesdays but worth going that extra mile for what I believe to be the best in Lancing.

Big shame as we had a good meal on fathers day, but today the rice was stodgy & I couldn't eat it, also the beef was chewy. Very disappointing, so won't be using them anywhen soon.

What has happened to this place? Used to be my fav Chinese if passing through Lancing! Paid over £40 for 2 adults 2 kids! The portion sizes were so small the food barely covered our plates! We were left still hungry! Chow mein was soo oily! And what happened to the chicken balls?? Small with no meat! I know things are tight for everyone but skimping on portion sizes!! Good job the crackers were free as needed them to bulk up the dinner!! Sadly won’t be back.

Going by previous reviews I must have caught this place on a bad day. I had a chicken curry and chips and the only thing in its favour was that it was hot. If I was blind folded and ask to taste that meal, I would never have guessed it to be curry. It was devoid of taste, very watery and sparse in chicken which came in half inch diced cubes, with only bits of onion added. Very disappointed and will not use again but will repeat, I may have caught them on a bad day

We don't have lots of takeaways but just occasionally - when we want a Chinese - we order from the Lotus House. Last night's food was delicious. On time, very hot and very tasty. We had Beef and Mushrooms, Pork and green peppers, Pancake roll, Egg fried rice and sweet and sour Chicken Balls (we don't eat the sweet and sour but the Chicken Balls are great). We recommend this takeaway restaurant - never lets us down.

New to the area, read the reviews and ordered food, got home and disappointed is an understatement. Toast soggy as was the ‘Crispy beef’, chicken chow main was dry. Spoke to the take away to be told I must be wrong then hung up on. So I drove back our uneaten food to again be told I was wrong and it’s okay, I asked for a refund but was happy to pay for the food I did eat, to which they offered me a credit note. A waste really as I wouldn’t waste my time. Have never been told that my taste is incorrect!

We had to pick our daughter up from Heathrow and decided on an impromptu dinner and we decided Elaine at the "Lotus House" was our best bet. We had a fantastic dinner we phoned ahead and booked it and collected it on-route. We decided on Aromatic Crispy duck, sweet & sour Prawn balls, Grilled Prawns in Garlic sauce, Deep fried shredded beef in hot sauce, Beef with green peppers in black bean sauce Rice and Singapore rice noodles and the whole meal was absolutely gorgeous. We would thoroughly recommend Lotus House, very friendly and helpful staff a pleasure to live close to this establishment. Thank you guys.

One star way to generous.beef chow mein was slimey and meet was grissle and fat. Special fried rice was lumpy and bones found in it. Only one prawn so must be a prawn shortage. Second meal had there.the first wasn't too special so I thought id give them another try seeing that they care local. No excuse as I went early in evening so food shoud have been fresh. It took long enough to come out. Very bad quality food and no care and attention to what was cooked. Last time I go there

Chicken chow mein had bones in the dish and it was very burnt and dry - I couldn't eat it all and was left feeling sick due to the amount of bones and fat that was in the dish... disgusting for me and I won't be ordering from here again!

This is in my opinion the best Chinese take away - Full Stop!I'm going to sound like I have some kind of vested interest in them now, but I don't..... I have used the Lotus House for 22 years and never had a bad meal. I have eaten at lots of other Chinese eateries with friends or when away etc. But if I'm ordering and I'm in Sussex then Lotus House in my first choice. Apart from Tuesdays, as they have always been closed on a Tuesday!Genuinely I can say I will travel 10 miles for take away from the Lotus House.There are a couple of issues though - Firstly, they close for an incredibly long time (weeks and weeks) for Chinese New Year, and I always feel incredibly sorry for the fish, swimming around in the very uninspiring fish tank - If you have been there you will know exactly what I mean!I can sum up how much I like Lotus House by mentioning that I move to South Australia on the 30th March 2015 and I can assure you that the last evening meal that I eat, here in the Uk on the 29th, will be a take away from Lotus House!

This Chinese takeaway is one of the best Chinese's you could ever go to in Lancing, my parents live in Findon and they come over to lancing to the Lotus House, my uncle lives in Storrington and again he comes all the way to this Chinese. If ever we have a family get together, weather it be Findon or Storrington we are always asked if we can pick up a Chinese meal from the Lotus House and take it with us. You can not fault this food at all its beautiful.

We don't have a chinese take away often but we had saved enough up to have a treat. This is our go to as have always had nice hot good tasting food. We are wondering if it has changed hands as the one last night was awful the barbeque spare ribs were in a wishy washy tasteless greasy sauce. The ribs were greasy no flavour and all fat. The noodles were cold and running grease. The lemon chicken can only be described as rank they swimming in a greasy sauce and as you cut the chicken all yew could see was an undercooked meat. The prawn crackers were hard and greasy. We did phone and they said they would send another out we couldn't even think of that asked for a full refund which we are waiting on and wont be using them again.
