Lotus House in Carmarthenshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I've been going to this place for 20+ years. Good quick service, consistently good food - what more do you want from a Chinese?!

The man can be rude and abrupt. Lady much nicer. Food on whole is very nice. Curry very spicy. Chicken balls dry and spongy but crispy outer Fried rice really good not greasy nicest around. Shame curry too spicy as didn't use to be as used to go weekly after night class in college sir gar. But nicest chinese on whole in Llanelli and tried them alll!!!

Used to be 10/10 and our favourite takeaway. Now unfortunately 2/10. Portions have been cut, standards have dropped, less chicken in the curry and more onions instead, service horrendous waiting 45mins longer than collection time provided. Won't ever go here again. What a shame!!!

The food here is pretty good most of the time, however tonight I ordered the chicken in lemon sauce as usual but the majority of the chicken was so tough it was inedible. We placed an order at 6:30pm and were told it was a 20 minute wait - 50 minutes later we received our food. They don’t start cooking it until you have paid so would recommend going down asap or even placing order in store. Watched a guy place 2 big orders in store and walked out 10 minutes later with his bags - despite placing his order 20 minutes after our telephone order. This is a frequent occurrence, so be prepared to wait double or near triple the time you were quoted unless you go down straight away.

Lovely food good value for money.

Very disappointed with the food today, chips were awful and there was no flavour to the chow mein

Really disappointed with takeaway, Chicken inedible hard as a rock. Bought a family meal spent 38 pound couldn't eat it.

Excellent food fast friendly service

Been going here for years. I've never had a bad meal. Good food, efficient and courteous. Happy days

Having always ordered from Lotus so disappointing to have a meal that was incorrect and the food substandard- tasted burnt. Called to politely explain and was basically told to enjoy and had phone out down on us. Understand this business was busy at this time of year- however very rude and dismissive on phone. After all these years will not be returning.

Food is good. Telephone orders are a waste of time now. They don't put the order in until you arrive and paid so no point in phoning in your order

What’s happened this used to be my favourite takeaway. Tonight however, egg fried rice was so dry it came out of the carton in one piece, and so so dry. The crispy beef was, tough and even with my own teeth I couldn’t chew. The chilly sauce was almost solid but certainly well congealed. Let me advise you, do not reheat food and sell it as freshly cooked and charge £20 for the privilege to bin it.

Had many different meal's from here which is unusual for me as I tend to stick to the same thing but as the food was so good very clean fresh tasting I wanted to try other thing's. A huge variety to pick from.

Wasn’t as nice as it was, had sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style which was really vinegary, the chips weren’t nice tasted like cheap and cooked in old oil and the fried rice wasn’t as nice. Disappointing.

Best chinese in llanelli by far!

Amazing food best around.. only problem is the wait when ordering but they are always busy..

Lively food not expensive either

Best Chinese takeaway in the world. Been going there since the 70s. Miss the older gent who was behind the counter for decades but his replacement is also very friendly 😁

Terrible really disappointing what a waste of money went straight in the bin

Stopped here between jobs and what a nice takeaway. A very friendly woman served us and the food came out quick and was amazing. My Kung Po chicken was gorgeous and the Singapore Chow Mein was nice and spicy. They even threw in a poppadom ! Definitely recommend 10/10 😁👍🏻

Best Chinese in town taste better than neibouring takeaways worth the wait, big portion will be back.

Great service of great food. Basic Chinese takeaway. But the food is always well made.

Good food good prices staff lovely

Great tasty meal and good value. Only down side, no delivery and cash only.

Great Chinese takeaway food here

Nice food,but order early on a Saturday as they are very busy

Fab takeaway as usual, had to wait awhile for order but well worth the wait

Best Chinese takaway in Llanelli the others don't even come close

Lovely food . Great portion size

Best Chinese take away in Llanelli.

Have been going to Lotus house for the past 30 years or so. Placed an order by phone. Food ready for collection in 10 mins. Was told the cost over the phone. Had to pay by cash. Food was extremely tasty, good value and I fully recommend the venu.

I find the curry is far too hot for me and can't eat it

After reading such good reviews i cannot believe my food was so poor, it must have been overheld after being cooked and the fact that i collected 10 mins before closing, i have no idea, but will be my first and last visit

For the food alone? Literally 5 stars. However the lotus house do lose half a star due to opting out of delivering food. The other half of the star is lost due to missing menu items like large portions of rice (instead, you must ask for the price), sweet and sour pork (which they refuse to make) and no section for appetisers/starters.

First time to have on the weekend. The order was absolutely delicious and definitely be returning. My only issue was that I ordered over the phone told a time but still had to wait a further 25 minutes. Rather been told to come later

Best Chinese in Llanelli but always book as it gets so busy on the weekend

Best Chinese in the area never had a bad meal from here

best beef curry ive ever had from a chinese .x

Have been going to the Lotus House for last 40+ years. My favourite is and always has been the English style chicken and chips. How they make the soya gravy is a well kept secret but worth every penny! Update (July 2020) Just spent the last hour and a half waiting outside (social distancing) for my meal. Never again. This is just plain ridiculous, by any standards! I know they are busy, but my patience ran out when peole who had placed their order after me were getting their meals before me. I was even forced to ask if they had forgotten about me! I'm sure they had! Anyway I am very disappointed and will not be returning!

Awful meal tonight food was overcooked!! Sweet and sour chicken in batter was so hard could have broken my teeth. Definitely will not return.

Love lotus house. Paid for peas and they forgot . Free peas next time 🤣 it be 5 stars 👍

Lovely food, very clean and staff are very friendly 😀

Quick, helpful service, delicious food, can't ask for more !

Food always very good and the staff are very busy but always got a smile on they're face when you enter

Nice kick to the chicken curry and the salted chilli chips were on point! 👌

Becoming a bit of a habit........ good food !

Lovely food. And reasonable prices

Best in town, or anywhere I've been for that matter. None of the others come close.

Fast service and amazing food, shame they dont deliver but then it's worth going there

Lovely tasty food,mo expensive than others around.

Best Chinese in Llanelli! Very quick, even when busy! And the food is delicious!

Very popular and great food. Warm welcome

Nice food friendly and helpfull

Can't fault the food here, good value for money too

Always had a Chinese from here for years. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Freshly made and made to order. Beautiful, tender chicken. Singapore chow mein is stunning and chicken and mushroom even better.

Curry very salty but otherwise gòod

Lovely, fresh, tasty food, my favourite Chinese in the area.

Best Chinese takeaway in Llanelli.

Still the best chinese food in town, but be prepared for a long wait since new owners completely taken over.

Waited 45min in the shop for the order

Portions can be on the small side, and it costs a bit more than other local Chinese. They make up for this by their food being a lot more freshly prepared, and incredibly tasty, definitely use a lot less salt than other places.

First time here and was glad as food was really good and it was extremely busy...also best pancake roll I've had for a long while.

Have used for 30 years , simply the best!

I laugh at what I here folks say. Why, because, i here things like best food around here, that's most likely true. The only why it can be the best is because you've not left here if you had you'd know it's the worst food ever. I love Chinese food, tried from tenby to Pembroke dock to haverfordwest. Come on people the only way take aways will get better is if we stop buying from them till the food gets better.

Without question, best Chinese in Llanelli.

The best Chinese takeaway in Llanelli

Always great food, good portions and never slow service! cash only but there's is a shop opposite you can withdraw cash from!

They need someone on the phone all the time

One of the best Chinese takeaway's in Llanelli

Best Chinese takeaway in Llanelli.

tried every chinese takeaway in llanelli and Lotus House!!! tops the lot by a country mile. very busy so you know that your always getting fresh food. Love the place and shall not be using another takeaway ever with regards to chinese food. Unfortunately no delivery service but id happily walk knowing that its from the LOTUS HOUSE.;-)

Best Chinese around, I won't go anywhere else stunning food

Best Chinese take away in Llanelli!!

Always an excellent meal, have tried a number of Chinese restaurants in Llanelli and this is by far the best.

By far the worst chinese takeaway I have ever had. Everyone of us were extremely disappointed with our meals. Vile! What we were told by staff was definitely not what ee had.

By far the best Chinese I have ever had curry sauce there is stunning

Best takeaway in the area. First class service.
