Lotus Plant Based Kitchen in Manchester

Booked months ago to eat gefore going to see Hayley Ellis perform at the Frog and Bucket next door. I had a starter of chicken satay skewers and my husband had prawns in rice paper. Both were delicious but my goodness the prawn dish was just superb. Then he and I shared Crispy beef in sweet chilli sauce and we also shared egg fried rice and soft noodles with my sister and her husband who had the chicken version. We all agreed it was the best we had ever had. The specials on the board were written in Chinese, so obviously we hadnt ordered them but oh my goodness, they looked superb when they came out for the next table... so we asked (for next time!) Oyster stew - and then a lobster dish that both looked and smelled spectacular. Will definitely go back again. 😌

Absolutely stunning Chinese, which these days is hard to find. They even left us a nice note with a menu to say that it would be cheaper for us to get takeaway and collect because the delivery apps take such a high fee, but sadly i don’t drive. However it’s worth the price because it’s so good we’ve even ordered again tonight! The Vegetarian Mock Chicken in sweet and sour sauce is the best meat alternative we’ve had. All the food tastes really fresh and well seasoned. We’re going to eat in soon it’s that good here

Brilliant value, wonderful ingredients and large portions. The food is incredibly tasty and you get to build your own dish choosing from a variety of noodles, protein (including chicken, king prawns and tofu among others), vegetables, sauces and sprinkles. Starters and sides are often used as excuses to fleece customers but not here. The sesame prawn toasts had a generous quantity of prawns and was a good sized portion for sharing. Well worth collecting yourself to enjoy the 10% discount and seeing the care the chefs take in the spotless open plan kitchen. An affordable treat and we intend to return on a regular basis. and explore new combinations that also include rice dishes. Thank you.

We visited the restaurant whilst staying at the hotel overnight for a flight the following day. The staff were really friendly and the food was well cooked and so tasty. The prices were reasonable considering the location. We had an excellent evening.

Had great Chinese, but also I'm from Nottingham. Can't get meat and potato puka pie. So my pie, chips and gravy delicious, and great value
