Lotus Restaurant & Take-Away in Carmarthenshire

Can’t fault it great food great staff fantastic location.

We ate here early on a Sunday evening after s local recommendation. An excellent choice of dishes at reasonable prices with faultless presentation and all beautifully cooked. Mixed starter, two mains, wine and beer all for under £50. We would definitely return if we lived nearer.

lotus is absolutely amazing, very well priced you’d think it be expensive given location but it’s really not, and the food is incredible the views from sitting in the restaurant over looking the beach and sea is phenomenal and the takeaway is also just as good when you fancy a cozy night in your caravan. food portions excellent. Staff brilliant, I phoned early in the day and asked them could I book a takeaway for the evening advance, they said yes, gave them my full order. No payment upfront. Went over in the evening to collect it on the time I requested and everything was there not a single thing wrong, everything piping hot and fresh. And then I paid with no issues at all. They go above and beyond I only wish there Chinese was closer to my own home 😂😂. Fantastic place to eat and id even say that I would drive down there almost 2 hours away just to eat and over look the sea it’s that worth it 😃😃

The food is so good, we went back again- so ate here twice on one holiday! Very clean, lovely food. Definitely recommend this restaurant

Had ameal here in the restaurant was amazing

This restaurant is a great place to have a family meal. The staff are very pleasant with great customer service. The food always surpasses expectations and is perfect every time. We come to eat here every time we are down.

Could not fault anything at this restaurant. Amazing food, well priced, great venue, atmosphere and lovely staff. Would go back again!

Beautiful restaurant at a beautiful location. The menu was big and service was quick. Lovely meal

We went here for an evening meal whilst staying at Pendine holiday park. The food was very fresh and super tasty! Would highly recommend!

Had a takeaway here as they couldn't accommodate us in the restaurant although they tried very hard. Food a little pricey ( but isn't everything these days)? However, there was more than we could eat....and that doesn't happen very often!!😆 Definitely recommend.

This was the second time we dined in,we have very close friends locally, we all had a first class evening, I would certainly recommend any friends in the area to go for a Brilliant meal, many thanks, if all goes well, see you in 2025.

Without doubt the best spare ribs in Wales. Service was excellent and all 5 of us couldn't fault the food. It was stunning with huge portions at a respectable price. Thank you all for a lovely evening.

The nicest Chinese we have ever had! The food is beautiful and fresh and tastes Beautiful! Staff are always friendly and can’t do enough for you!

I just love this place. Everything's 5*+

Gluten free menu did not disappoint. Lovely, friendly and informative staff. Very helpful, lovely environment, busy so please phone and book

First visit had chicken curry, thought watery and nothing special bit edible 2nd visit takeaway had red Thai king prawn curry it was amazing best I've ever had and prawns were fantastic glad I gave them a second chance

Top quality food and service. Staff were very nice and efficient. Food was so tasty, plentiful and great quality. Best Asian restaurant I’ve been too. Recommend.

Fantastic meal. Granddaughter who can be very particular with what she eats, throughly enjoyed her meal. Thank you

I chose a house special chow mein, prawn crackers and a banana fritter. The taste was clean, fresh and delicious. The price was reasonable too. The decor is lovely with a gorgeous view of the open sea. There is also a lunchtime takeaway at £6-£7 only, for one of four dishes. What's not to like.

Amazing food in a perfect location. Had two meals here whilst I was on holiday with all our family. One was my with my wife and the other was all the family. Food came in a good time and tasted amazing. The kids loved it also. Definitely the best meal of the holiday for me. The view is amazing on a clear day.

Of all the options by the beach, this little restaurant was a winner. The food is really good and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and accommodating. You also have a great view over the beach!

Fantastic atmosphere, you can see a lot of the ocean and beach. The food was amazing, big portions and prices are reasonable too. Staff was very friendly, would definitely recommend

Only recently found out about this restaurant from friends despite passing through Pendine heading further west on many occasions! Decided to book a midweek dinner to see what all the hype was about! Waw, what a setting! Fabulous vantage point and we were lucky enough to have a front window table. Views out to sea are spectacular! Opted to share a 1/4 crispy aromatic duck to start which was bang on point. Succulent, juicy pieces of duck, accompanied by the usual array of warm pancakes, cucumber, spring onions and hoi sin sauce. Very satisfying. For the main course, we opted for the king prawn chow mein requested dry, special chow mein, egg fried rice and a portion of chips. The stand out element consistent with all the food was how 'fresh' it all tasted. Packed full of flavour, it was literally faultless! A couple of pints of refreshing lager shandy completed the meal. The owner took the time and courtesy to speak with us which was a nice touch. Prices were really quite reasonable considering the quality of the food along with the very impressive setting. All in all, I'm struggling to understand how this restaurant has existed for 7 years and it's only recently I got to know about it! Better late than never! Looking forward to returning in the very near future. 非常感谢

Cracking food and lovely view 😊

We booked table for 7 of us on 11/08/2024 for my birthday whilst we were on holiday down there, we have been too similar types of restaurants before and the foods been ok, but I've got too say the food is AMAZING here, even the children emptied their plates, the staff were absolutely lovely, the views are too die for, will definitely return one day when we are down that way again. Thank you too all of the hard working staff xx

Amazing Asian Fusion restaurant! Delicious flavours can be found all across Lotus' extensive menu. What's more, the views are amazing!

Had dinner with a family of six. Excellent food and friendly service. Very impressive. Lovely sea views. Highly recommended

Amazing service ordered food it came in 2 minutes and excellent food, definitely recommend!!!

Lovely restaurant and very nice food, very clean and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Lovely food, excellent service and friendly staff. The place was spotlessly clean and a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely go back

Stunning food, stunning view. Great customer service. Very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone. Great for couples or family’s

One of my favourite restaurants in Wales. Loveliest staff and so much choice on the menu

Unfriendly.Didnt come back to table to ask if we were happy with food. I left more than half the meal.I wasnt asked if everything was ok with the meal and why i had left it. Chicken balls, batter was soggy inside and chicken just about heated. They had no concern at all that the food wasnt eaten.

Awful staff. Food ok. Staff are inattentive and very rude. Booked a table for 8 for my father's,,80th birthday. Ordered started which came really quick about 5 minutes. Then we were just left for about an hour with our empty plates. Couldn't get the attention of any staff as we were shoved away in the corner. Our 6 year old was getting really upset as he hadn't had a starter and was wanting his main meal. I finally summoned a member of staff and advised we had finished our starters and hour ago. She then cleared our plates. New, warm plates were given the Chinese woman came out shouting food is coming - no apologies no explanation.... 20 minutes later it came, our warm plates were now obviously cold. How could they forget about a table of 8 and how do they think they don't need to apologise Arrogant staff ensures we won't go back

Came down for a takeaway last minute on a night out and couldn’t be happier. The food is stunning. The venue is right by the beach with a gorgeous view. The staff are so lovely and attentive, couldn’t have asked for better service. They also have a dining area so they cater to both takeaway and dining. If you’re down pendine and looking for a nice bite to eat I’d highly suggest lotus, by far the nicest Chinese I’ve had in awhile!!

Wish i lived next door to eat this food everyday. Very accommodating and the food is like no other. You will not be disappointed. Service from ladies was first class and a view over pendine sands to boot.

I followed recommendations and left full of questions and regreting the waste of time plus money spend. The taste was there and that was all. Unfortunately it went down hill from there one. Portions tiny (less than small). Staff wore a miserable face on at all times (consistency I suppose). Atmosphere is sterile saved by the views of the beach. You can enjoy the views though with an ice cream and it's cheaper too. On the way out I spotted an award on the wall. Beg to differ, as the Chippy around the corner offers better taste and value. Recommend that you give it a miss.

Didn't go there i was on the beach near it but been told there's the food is beautiful there

Always a pleasure to dip I here when we’re at Pendine 😊

Fabulous food, really good service. We had set meal and really enjoyed all of it This restaurant has a lovely setting too, up overlooking beach & sea

Lovely vegan/ veggie options! Super fresh and tasty. Really enjoyed our visit. The people who work there are attentive and food and drink is brought out fast. Can't wait to visit again!

Stunning food with stunning views, what more can you ask for. The price is as fair as if you went to your local Chinese as well.

Lovely food friendly staff can’t go wrong

Food was excellent! Staff were friendly, atmosphere was very pleasant, lovely Seaview. Would go back again

OMG what can I say. Searched all over Manchester for Asian cuisine as good as this. We didn't expect the food to be so nice. We had the lunch time specials. Chicken curry with fried rice and chips and Chicken sweet and sour sauce (proper sweet and sour sauce)! With egg fried rice and chips. All for just £14. It was amazing. They must be mind readers. Everything was just how we liked it. 11 out of 10 !!

excellent food and service went twice in four days .great view from our window table overlooking the sea

I have got to say that have just had a takeaway set menu meal for two what a amazing meal many thanks and totally worth the money

First visit here and definitely won’t be the last. Food was delicious and speedy service in spite of being very busy

Excellent food and great staff. Best chicken balls I’ve ever had.

Great service food very poor though

Great Asian restaurant right on the beach. Lots of vegan options that are all clearly marked. Tasty food and friendly service, kindly seated us even though we arrived very late!

Just had a Chinese meal here with the missus. Food was genuinely the nicest Chinese meal I've had it wasn't oily or dirty it was cooked beautifully! Portion sizes were perfect and to top it off the owner was so friendly, had a good 20 minute chat and made us feel so welcome. It also overlooks Pendine sands beach so the restraunt has a sea view! If you're staying in Pendine sands park dean caravan park GET TO THIS RESTRAUNT and enjoy :)

Great food and service with good views from there windows

Food was fabulous, both staff and service were great will definitely be back

First visit here, at first we thought it was only open for take-a-way but we were so glad we decided to go upstairs and have a look... We felt welcome when we were greeted and shown to a window seat table with a fantastic view of the beach, the room was spotless and warm on a chilly day. We chose the Vegetable Curry with Rice and Chips at a very reasonable price £8 each along with coffee and after the meal a bottle of Coca Cola. The curry was definitely the best we've ever had 😍. I think it would be a good idea if they put a picture of inside the restaurant room outside for people to see how good it is. This is definitely a 5* Restaurant

Had a wonderful time... Thank you Kim 😊

Fantastic restaurant views overlooking the sea, very clean and tidy Food was excellent good quality and great choices Staff very helpful and polite Will certainly return , would fully recommend it

Had a great meal on Saturday night. Lovely fresh food Wonderful sea view Great service from Kim and the team We will be back Kind regards Simon

Best chinease I've had in years!

I’m just moved to pendine and Chinese is my favourite and when I heard there was one not to far from me I had to try it and I am very impressed with it the food is delicious and the gentleman serving me was really kind and professional

Very small portion size for the price and not much sauce either, also could be hotter.

We have just spent two nights at Caban Pendine and went to Lotus Pendine both nights for our evening meals. The restaurant is perfectly situated right on the beach front with a gorgeous view out over the beach / sea. All of the staff are really friendly and cheerful, they made us feel like the most important customers in the world. Great choice of menu and all the food was beautiful and freshly prepared and tasted wonderful. We are already booked in again in the near future and fully recommend anyone to go there for a great meal.

Kim and Team put on a wonderful spread for my brother's wake last week. So accommodating, Diolch o calon.

Great food, great views, excellent staff, what more could you want? There is a lift for easy access. I would recommend if your in the area and look forward to going back

Excellent food again. Have enjoyed meals here over several years, ranging from quiet dinner for 2, to larger family groups. Daytime lunch with wonderful views across Pendine beach, or evening dinner with cosy atmosphere - Always had very good food that looks appetising & tastes excellent. Genuinely friendly & helpful staff - always a good welcome. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our meals here, consistently high standards, always worth the trip out.

Gorgeous food with gorgeous views! Our fave place to eat in pendine.

Amazing, such tasty food and so much of it to enjoy. Lovely people and so relaxed. Can't wait to go again.

Best fusion food, absolutely delicious best Chinese l have ever had, done to perfection, well catered to my vegetarian taste and my husband who loves meat

absolutely stunning food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place

This is a local restaurant that cooks outstanding Chinese and Asian food. The food is always fresh and well cooked and the staff are always friendly and helpful. It is a true hidden gem! It has a beautiful view across the sea and so it is very popular with people staying at the local holiday sites. If you're visiting in the summer - expect to book early as it will be very busy. We always visit from Carmarthen as its worth a drive for excellent food. Prices are reasonable and my wife is vegetarian. The restaurant offers a great vegetarian menu, including plant based crispy duck with pancakes! Which is my wife's favourite.

We have eaten from here a few times. Once in the restaurant and maybe 5 or 6 times from the takeaway. The portion sizes are quite small for the price and the food was usually nice. I usually have the duck and enjoy it. We have had crispy chilli beef this evening and I was so disappointed. There was no beef in the batter and I honestly couldn't believe it. Things have gone steadily down hill I'm afraid and that was the last time we will be eating from here. The staff have always been pleasant and polite. The restaurant is in a beautiful setting. The beach views are beautiful. So many positives but unfortunately the food just isn't up to scratch anymore. Sorry.

Best Chinese takeaway we have had ! We had the £60 set meal , they were super and swapped out all the prawn dishes as I'm pregnant. Phenomenal food absolutely loved it.

Arrived early evening without a booking, staff sorted out a table for all 7 of us. Food was excellent. Lovely experience thank you

Best Chinese I’ve ever ate so goodddd

Overpriced. Undercooked. Chicken had feathers. Curry tastes of pot pourri.

Had a fab gluten free noodle 🍜 dish. I haven't eaten Chinese noodles for 8 years. The staff are very friendly and knowledge and they have a gluten free menu. Amazing place. Tx

Excellent food and views over the beach. Looks expensive inside but prices are not. Figuring out how to get to park in front of it was quite tricky. And confusing because it says pay and display, which I've never seen for a restaurant. I went inside and asked and the lady behind the desk said there was no need to pay, but I think it would make me a bit nervous if it had been during daytime in the summer season in case I got a ticket. They were out of the starter we wanted but the chicken and pineapple was absolutely delicious. ***They do NOT take credit cards. *** First restaurant I've eaten at that doesn't. Overseas visitors who might get debit card usage charges when they get home beware. We only just had enough cash on us. This review would have been 4-5 stars if not for that

Lovely meal choice exceptional reasonable price

Absolutely beautiful food definitely recommend best food I've had

Lovely food and great balcony sea view

Best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to, food is absolutely delicious, very reasonably priced, great views, lovely staff! I visit every time I'm in Pendine

Fantastic place, very friendly, great food and service , recommend anyone visiting books ahead

We started coming here back in 2019 and the food used to be alot better. Last year I felt it had gone down hill and this year not much improvement. If it wasn't for the lack of choice of eateries in pendine I probably wouldn't have given them a second chance. Some dishes are better than others...the main thing that let's food down is how watery it all is and the 'plum sauce' is a yellow coloured pot of slightly lemon flavour water. Good points :- the prawns aren't overcooked 😏 I guess that's something.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere as always. We always order a set meal, plenty of variety and ample food.

Absolutely Lovely food served by very friendly staff ( little blonde girl was amazing ) and a view out to sea is amazing .. highly recommend this place 👌👏 x

Average food here with a typical Chinese takeaway menu in a dine-in restaurant so nothing special. The sharer starter was mixed vegtable rolls, prawn toasts etc which looked and tasted like a supermarket frozen pack. Service wasn’t particularly friendly which was the most off-putting factor. The venue are particular about the cards they accept i.e. no credit cards as it costs them too much in fees, but they don’t advertise this which can be a problem for those accommodating business meetings etc.

Amazing food and service, very accomodating staff, lovely house wine. Would definitely come back again.

Sad and expensive experience was told at 6.15 we only had till 8pm absolutely fine but we're told at 7.40 another party needed our table food came out very slowly and not altogether so a lot was cold the two Chinese ladies were very rude very cold and very abrupt, there was 1 young small white girl with blond hair trying to do everything she was lovely, would never go back apparently they always overbook so take your money and good bye so would never ever return.

Lovely food served by very friendly staff and a view out to sea is amazing.. highly recommend this place to eat right in yhe beachfront

Really good food and excellent service. Very good range of vegan food too

Best Chinese meal I have ever eaten

Absolutely amazing place to go for food. Absolutely beautiful place with sea views,friendly staff. They couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely be going back. 5 stars all round. 👍

Not a great takeaway meal. Had a take away. From here, firstly the portions were very small, for the cost. 3 meals cost 40 quid and you don't get rice with the meal.. When we got to try the food and I was very disappointed, I thought the food was bland and tasteless. Wouldn't go again

We have just had an excellent meal .Some of our party have allergies ,the proprietor could not do enough to help and took a great deal of time and care to try and add to our experience even though being so busy as to be bringing in tables from outside so her customers were not disappointed. We will unquestionably return soon. I would also mention that the quality was excellent as was the value in these tricky times.

Absolutely fantastic food. Will definitely be eating here again. The staff were lovely and the views must be beautiful on a clear day.

Ate here last October (and had the most fantastic meal) so had to come back again and was not let down!! Amazing portion sizes and beautiful flavours

Great chinese restaurant, tucked away and a hidden gem in Pendine. We had a walk on the beach and had the dog with us, so ordered a takeaway and went and got a beer locally.

Firstly and mostly importantly the food here is excellent . Dined here several times and never ever had a bad meal , really good quality , tasty dishes which are well cooked and full of flavour . Definitely the best place to eat in Pendine by a mile . This is the reason we keep coming back & will continue to dine here . However, recently we have experienced some quite poor customer service which has affected our dining experience, which I’d like to highlight . The owner is great , attentive and a real professional, as are many of the younger waiting staff . However a mature female staff member (presumably the restaurant manager) has come across quite abruptly , at times verging on rude. In addition, on 3 separate occasions we have felt very rushed , plates being cleared whilst still eating and generally feeling under pressure to eat up and leave. Resulting in a not very relaxed evening. This is such a shame as the restaurant is in a superb location , it’s spotlessly clean and the chefs certainly know how to cook great food . Would love to give it 5 stars but some staff are letting the place down a bit and I’d love to see that bit improve .
