I ended up ordering the: Wonton soup, incl mini mushrooms - the broth was flavourful, served piping hot, wontons have some veggies in them. General tao - rice slightly seasoned but in the drier side which is fine with the main dish. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the sauce the sweet and savory. I enjoyed this quite a bit Cold roll - mango, lettuce, carrot, radish and peanut sauce. Tasty! Lots of sauce to roll ratio Beef ho fun - big noodles, soft not overcooked. Seasoning was pleasant, healthy beef serving Ha gow +$2.5 - tasty but overall pretty standard, wrap to filling ratio a bit off, not worth paying extra in lunch combo They did also have an incredible Peking duck lunch special but it does require a minimum spend which we were not able to hit with just the two of us. I suggest bringing a group of 4 if you wish to take advantage of the Peking Duck Special!

So I went there with friends and had a chance to try several dishes too. It was a bit quiet when I visited (it was the day with stormy heavy rain), and fortunately we've got full attention from the staff. We were pleasantly surprised by how all dishes taste so good, not to mention the pecking duck. My favourite of the day was steamed black cod, and Super chicken lettuce wrap appetizer is must-order :) Portion was pretty generous too, especially considering the price range (in this economy!) Inside of restaurant was clean and well decorated. Overall, very satisfying dining experience and willing to come back and try other menu items.

Onto food: the mild jjamppong was spicier than I thought it'd be but it wasn't overwhelming, but it did have a pretty fishy taste (which I like, but others may not). I loved the black bean noodle, it's something I've never tried before and I found the chewy noodle mixed with the lighter sauce to be really yummy. The sweet & sour chicken was exactly what you'd expect lol. It's a great spot for a quick bite to easy!

I've ordered a la cartefrom here three times, and in that time tried many different items on the menu, and everything was stellar. Among the items I've ordered - sushi Party Platter B, Mango Avocado Salad, Honey Garlic Tofu, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Shrimp Tempura, Coconut Shrimp, Pork Shu Mai, Shrimp Dumpling With so many Asian fusion restaurants in the GTA, it really takes culinary skill to be a standout. I absolutely think this place is a hidden gem. To top it off the price is right, all the dishes are reasonably priced so you can eat to your heart's content and it won't break your bank.

It took a long time to order as the menu is very cluttered and confusing. They have Chinese food, sushi, dim sum, etc. Normally when a restaurant have so many choices, the food is terrible.

I also ordered the salmon rolls. To my great surprise, the food was very good. The fried shrimp rolls were great as it wasn't overcooked. The salmon rolls were also very good. Would I go back?

I particularly loved the sesame chicken, as it was a little bit more spiced than most places I've been - interestingly, we had to actually order it off menu because they only have sesame beef on the menu, but it was incredible. We were absolutely not expecting to get an extra container of green beans thrown in as well - and these were amazing. Spicy and savory, maybe the best part of the order. All in all an excellent takeout experience and I'll definitely consider coming back the next time I'm in Toronto!

I'm not always a fan of Chinese fast food as it can often be too salty and greasy, but they do it pretty well here. The rice and noodles can be a little bland but it pairs well enough with the flavourful meat options. The meat quality is always quite decent, I've never had anything very tough or dry. $11.49 for 1 meat + 1 veggie and a rice or noodle - pretty reasonable and the portion size is big.

About halfway through my perfectly mediocre meal from Lotus Inn, I remarked to my dining companion…read morethat I wished it wasn't so difficult to find actual, authentic Chinese food in the Yonge/Eglinton area. We were looking to order something than our usual Thai for dinner and I figured the time was right to give Lotus Inn a shot. A quick perusal of their fairly extensive menu led us to the following three items: Lotus Special Spring Roll: This was probably the highlight of the meal, oddly enough. I'm not sure what was in this thing, but it tasted fresh and the ingredients all worked well together. Szechuan Beef: Though this was edible, it was shockingly tasteless. The dish, which contains an impressive amount of beef and vegetables, is almost entirely lacking in the bold flavors one associates with Szechuan cuisine. And spiciness? Forget about it. Sweet and Sour Pork (Cantonese Style): This was exactly what you'd assume, in that it's a whole mess of fried piece of pork (and veggies) swimming in an almost sickly sweet sauce. I won't lie, I did enjoy this. It reminded me a lot of the Chinese food I'd get when I was a little kid. But in terms of offering anything complex or interesting, I wouldn't say this dish succeeded. Lotus Inn's offerings are cheap, at least. All that food, plus the tip for the delivery person, came out to about $35.
