My partner and I were visiting the area for a few days and wanted a good Chinese restaurant for dinner. Most were closed as it was Monday, but we got lucky and found this restaurant. I initially thought it was a quick takeaway place but when we walked in, we were pleasantly surprised that they had a nice dining room. We ordered a multi-course meal for two for around £42. Everything was hot, fresh and very delicious. Their wonton soup is absolutely wonderful and the gentleman who served us was very friendly and kind. Make sure you eat all the prawns on your plate! Be aware that this establishment is cash only!

Took over 2 hours for delivery to arrive and when it did it was super bland. No apology given for lateness. Could have better myself and I would have been cheaper and faster!

ordered takeaway 2 hours to come bad enough .... meal delivered was disgusting inedible and worse when I rang to give constructive criticism was yelled at by a clearly juvenile manager .Avoid at any cost food was filed under B. I never leave reviews unless it's really bad or good, but in this case my honest verbal review was rudely disregarded out of hand.

The restaurant was very busy when I went to collect our takeaway, but that was a good sign! There was a slight delay, but it was certainly worth waiting for. The food quality was excellent, good portions and great flavour. We will certainly be using them again. 😀

Two friends and I ate here as we were staying overnight in Larne. The food was very good, with reasonable sized portions and plenty of flavour. We plumped for a starter that had a bit of everything, chicken skewers, spring rolls, prawn toast, salt & chilli ribs, sweet & sour dip, saty dip, and it was delicious and plentiful. One of my mates and I ordered Kung Po combination each, but we’re given Sweet and Sour Combination. It was nice and there was loads of it but it wasn’t what we ordered, although it was not too much of a drama. The rice too was plentiful, and nice and fluffy. Drinks were priced reasonably well too and the overall bill was very fair. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was good without being outstanding. Would I return? Definitely and I would recommend in spite of the hiccup with my mates and my order, ultimately we all make mistakes. Be warned however, upon our visit, it was cash only.

We drove to this restaurant because it had a high rating however the service was horrible. We ordered pretty standard Chinese dishes like noodles, fried rice and mains. They made us wait for the order for an hour WHILE they continued to serve the seated customers as well as other takeaway customers that came after us. As much as we'd like to think otherwise, the action seemed racially motivated. It is also general courtesy for any food service business to offer a small complimentary gesture for such obscene delays but the owner/ receptionist did not offer as much as a can of coke.

Many occasions here celebrated in style. Although standards have dropped. I'd rather pay extra for nice chicken (fresh) not frozen and receive the best as the way yous have always been. Must be "just eat" ruinging reputations as usual. Stick with original delivery teammates. Prices or nothing to price is how it goes. Returning customers respect what's given to them in another store is dreadful. I could give many examples but I'm not that low and hope improvements happen immediately.

The lotus is one of the better Chinese restaurants in Larne and the only one that has sit on. Standard range of Chinese dishes at a standard price. While a lot of carry out restaurants can vary depending when you go to them, I have found them to be of consistent quality at all times.

Ordered a delivery, staff always lovely, arrived when it was due to and over the years I could never complain with sit in or delivery but tonight for whatever reason it was just disappointing! Thought I had ordered with fried rice but came with chips (little bit soggy) and although curry was tasty it just lacked something, a bit watery opposed to the usual more creamy. Sorry to say disappointed but hopefully better next time 🤞

Placed order over the phone was told the chicken came with chips as a meal. Collected order and took it home, no chips with the chicken. The chips I did order where tasteless and the chow mein was so greezy and tasteless it left an awful taste in your mouth. Needs huge improvement.

We called into this restaurant as we were passing through Larne for the night. The restaurant was full but we were found a table. Staff were friendly and really helpful, food was great and reasonably priced, would absolutely recommend it. The only reason it dropped 1 star is because when it's full, it's full! I really struggled to move my chair, nothing to be done about it, just felt quite cramped

Found this restaurant by accident whilst looking for another one. It was 9pm on a Friday night and we were starving and very tired after a long journey. Place wasn't very busy but was clean and welcoming. Didn't have to wait too long for our meals and there was certainly plenty of it. My Kung Po chicken was delicious. Curry very good too but we weren't so keen on the Char sui. In all a good experience. Would visit again if in the area.

Was on a wee trip round the Co Antrim Coast from Newtownabbey and decided to call in here on the way back for dinner. Sit in Chinese Restaurant's seem to be on the decline, so it was nice to see one still going strong. My partner and I where greeted by a nice gentleman, presuming he may be the owner, but nice all the same. We where shown to our table and given menus. After looking through the menu we opted for the set meal for 2 people. This was a good mix of starters, Soup and 3 different mains which rice. Each course was nicely presented and all the food was very tasty. Cannot fault it in anyway. Price is reasonalable for the type and quality off food. I find this much better than those "All you can eat type resturants" and next time I am in Larne I wll make a visit. Might even just take a trip down for dinner some evening.

This place is my favourite Chinese in the town to get take out from but it's also a nice place to sit in and have a meal. They have large circular tables for larger parties and smaller tables for couples etc. The waiter is always lovely and they offer a BYOB service which is great! The food itself is always tasty and they are happy for you to request the food to be hotter/no mushrooms etc. The food is served quickly and full of flavour, you can tell it has just been prepared fresh.I've also eaten here as part of a work night out and they cater well to bigger parties, some restaurants in the town can't handle more than 4 people at a table but the Lotus Flower certainly can.I really couldn't recommend this place enough and I will be back eating here very soon! It's great value at around £10 per main course.

First time here. The decor is average, and a better effort could be made. The service was fine.As for the starters, the prawn toast was poor, as were the vegetable rolls and the ribs. The prawns were really good however.Both the beef main courses were very good, with the curry being average. I had a taste of my friends steak and it was excellent.On the whole is is okay but could be a lot better.

Stayed up the coast for the weekend and fancied a nice Chinese on a Saturday night. Checked trip advisor and found this restaurant. On initial appearance all seem nice until my meal turned up. Chicken breast meat curry. The fried rice was lovely as was the curry sauce, the chicken breast on the other hand was a frozen breast with a few cuts across it, rubber is an understatement, wont be back. Was up at 3 in the morning, throwing up the little bit i did eat of my meal.

we regularly visit this local Chinese sit in restaurant and have never been disappointed, its a family owned concern with very nice helpful staff. The family have resided in Larne for years and are on first name terms with most customers. My favourite meal either in sit in or takeaway has to be the Char Siu chow mein, the roast pork is the best I have ever tasted anywhere, soft succulent and beautifully flavoured. Don't miss it if your in town.

90 minutes I waited called for an update only to be told it's with the driver.... Driver took 25 minutes to travel 3 miles..... Then when I refused delivery because the food was stone cold, became abusive trying to tell me the food was piping hot after rolling round his car for 25+ minutes. Told him to have a manager contact me. Still waiting for that manager to call me back
