Great food, tidy restaurant (the sauce packet station is super convenient), and the family that owns it is the sweetest!!!

Had to pick up dinner for the whole family and stopped here thanks to Yelp reviews. The whole experience was pleasurable; the nice lady that greeted us at the door and gave order recommendations. We even got a free dish added to our order. Got home and everything was hot, fresh, and tasty. Portions were big enough that we saved some for a whole other meal the next day. Pro tips: -Good amount of off-street parking here -They no longer have sit-down dining inside (due to Covid) but I spotted a small table outside -If one of your kids doesn't like Chinese food, there's a pizza place in the same plaza! read more

Great food, always consistent and excellent. My wife and I started ordering takeout from Lotus Garden over the past 30 Yrs

Been coming here for take-out for about 3 years now. Food= Great! Far better than any local competition! Service= The staff has always been friendly with me. Usually ordering 3 meals or combos, never an issue. I only order from other places if it happens to be a Tuesday and it reminds me of why I don't order elsewhere. Two thumbs up for Lotus Garden! read more

I ordered for pick-up. Peking Duck, Bean Curd Homestyle, and Beef & Broccoli completes the order. It was very tasty. The Peking Duck was delicious, but offered only a small portion of meat. What did you expect? LOL. The other items' portion was a lot more generous. It came with white rice which I didn't eat. The reason why is that the rice was old and dry. I chucked it. Luckily, I always have good rice at my house =P -- which compliments all foods!! read more

Lotus Garden - Bean Curd (which is Tofu) Homestyle =D - Chinese Near Me - Plainville, Connecticut

The worker gave us free soup and she had a great sense of humor about the food.The theme of the restaurant was the nicest I've ever seen! The worker said" 4 combos!?Sir!!?? Big family!!!??" I laughed so hard! read more

Terrible service. terrible experience. they forgot a part of my order. and when I called, the lady who answers the phone said it is on the way. 45 minutes later when the food still hasn't arrived ,when I called back to see what was going on, they argued with me, claiming that all of the food came when it was delivered. and refused to give a refund or deliver the rest of my order. read more

Food was very good. Prices were very reasonable & friendly atmosphere. Would go there again the next time I am in the area.

Living in Bristol, Lotus Garden had been my go-to for Chinese food for years now. I don't celebrate Christmas and we decided Chinese would be ideal for that evening. Thankfully despite Covid they're still open, and their lo mein it's as good as ever, along with a custom order of tofu and mushrooms in black bean sauce. As always, generous with extra rice, drinks, sauce, only a 15 minute wait to get everything ready - excellent food and service! read more

Ugh it, dam man I recently went in on a Thursday night around 9:45-10:00 pm. I called in my order, still had to wait which isn't the problem for me as I figured because of course they had more orders. But I ordered 3 orders of chicken wings and large pork fried rice, 3 egg rolls which qualified me for a wonton soup. The rice was dry like extremely dry and not even a little warm. The chicken was the same it was crispy but dry as if it was a meal someone didn't pick up and they threw it back in the fryer. Only reason I tried the wonton soup is because it was free but I'd never pay for it either there the wontons from here or at least the ones I was given were not made with thin dough. Too much dough for the piece of meat provided. I've ordered from this location plenty of times, this experience def puts me on alert to check/taste my food before leaving and requesting my food be prepared FRESH !!!!! read more

Lotus Garden has been a common place to order from for me. I usually only get delivery and they're typically on point with timing even though they're in Plainville and I'm in Bristol. Prices seem to be better than most places and the food is just top quality. Tonight I ordered delivery and the driver was excellent. Thanked me for shoveling the sidewalk up to the door which was nice. Food was hot and really tasty. The general tso's was a bit crispy and very flavorful. The fried shrimp... 8 shrimp which were butterflied, breaded and fried. So good! Overall just a really great order. It's my birthday and planned to go out but decided to stay in. Did not regret it! read more

Some of the food was under cooked. Seemed like he was in a hurry. No other customers that we could see waiting for food. Taste was good.

They have the BEST Chinese food in this area! The food is always hot and fresh, and they use quality ingredients! Their Lo Mein is amazing, and they let you replace the fried rice with it. You won't be sorry if you try it! read more

I love this place! We have been ordering from here for a while and every time we have been satisfied with the service as well as the food. Their beef and broccoli is amazing!!! I highly recommend this restaurant!! I will be trying more dishes in the future. read more

I don't normally eat Chinese, but decided to try a place that doesn't use MSG. So since it clearly states on their menu they don't use it, I decided to give them a try. Ordered online & food was delivered within 30 minutes. Great service & everyone enjoyed it. read more

Five-star food within its own realm, i.e. takeout Chinese grease peddlers. I've always enjoyed what I've eaten here. And it's very cheap, since I'm always ordering from the lunch menu. I work in the area. But last time I was here, their practices could only be described as highly unintelligent. When you work in the restaurant business, your lunch time cannot be the same as the peak lunch hour, which I think we'd all agree is 12-1PM. I walked in between 12:30 and 12:45, and they were getting ready to take their break. Making my lunch was a downright inconvenience to them - it took forever, they made the wrong dish (I wasn't about to send it back for fear of losing even more time), and they forgot to get my soda. I've worked foodservice before. I expect no less than to eat at odd hours, such as a 4PM lunch or a 10PM dinner. You have to adapt. Apparently, these guys just don't. read more

The food was terrible. The broccoli wasn't cooked all the way, and the rice was dry. Shit compared to China Chef. I waited over an hour for my food. And I didn't get the crunchy things that are supposed to come wth soup. read more

My 2nd fave fast Chinese anywhere. Fresh, tasty food. Hottie owner, very nice, welcoming. I get the Hunan chicken or garlic chicken; both are very tasty. Wonton soup, fresh. read more

If you are looking for sickingly sweet, greasy food you're in the right place. Never been here before but wanted to get a couple different things to give a fair review. Lunch time items so price wise was very good. Fried rice was ok but greasy. The boneless spare ribs was something I can only describe as "meat dessert"- it was like eating meat candy. So so so so sweet and strange meat texture. Couldn't separate the fatty bits from the meat. I think the heavy corn syrup covering was the most off putting. Even the egg rolls were super sweet. I'm kind of at a loss with all of that. Now... The steamed veggies? Very good! Plain, from the "healthy menu" and with white rice. They get 4 stars for that... Wonton soup was good as well. Changing my review from 2 stars to 3 due to the veggies and soup. read more

This was a huge disappointment. I've ordered from here before and have always been satisfied. This last meal was a problem. I ordered the Ta-chien chicken along with some pork fried rice. The Ta-chien chicken was inedible. It's supposed to be sauteed chicken in a spicy brown sauce but it turned out to be a salty mess. The brown sauce was so salty it reminded me of getting a mouthful of seawater at the beach. I did not add anything to this meal. No soy sauce no nothing but this was just gross and devoid of any spice. The fried rice was also very salty. A mixup int he kitchen? I don't know but I do know that the food from last night ended up in the garbage disposal and it's going to be very hard for me to order food from this place gain. read more

This place has the best fried rice and boneless spare ribs. I agree with the other Yelper, the owner is really nice and she tends to throw in free food like egg rolls into your takeout bag. Bottom line: Try this place because my wife and I are foodies and we love their food. read more

Quite a bit put off by delivery. The food is great but make sure you check that they bring what you ordered! I called to tell them they got the wrong order and they said they'd send someone right away with the correct dish. That was 45 minutes ago, still waiting. It's a shame because I think they had a good thing going. read more

Stopped in for lunch, got the boneless spare rib meal with a Pepsi and an egg roll. Meal was good, fried rice was good spare ribs were good and had plenty of sauce. Egg roll was also good read more

First time trying this place and I'm happy I did. Ordered delivery and it arrived quickly. Best Crab Rangoon I've come across, loved it! I'm very excited about having sushi (really good too) delivered. Boyfriend got Singapore Chow Fun and he was raving about it. It was a bit pricey, but the food was much better than other delivery places in the area. read more

This place takes chinese food a step further! Chinese restaurants are a dime a dozen here in Bristol, but I am happy to admit that this place has everything including sushi, and YES I do eat the sushi, time and time again. The girl that always answers the phone is so very pleasant and personable, she try's to remember your name even after only a few visits. They deliver food very efficiently, and even delivered durring a snow storm that two other chinese wouldn't dare venture out (make sure to tip good). I have never had a bad experiance with this place under it's current ownership, and have just placed an order. They even serve beef and string beans which seems to be a rare commodoty these days! read more

We usually order at least once a week and every other order is all screwed up. Don't recommend ordering for delivery because they will screw up your order. And god forbid you call to question them because they don't apologize for the mess up. We will be trying many of the other Chinese take out places in town read more

The place seems to be clean to the eye but if you really look around you can notice there is constantly bugs in the restaurant, i worked 12 hr days for this place for a little while untill one day i was preparing the boneless spare ribs & seen multiple pieces covered in mold please check your food people read more

The best Chinese food in Plainville! OK, I admit, I haven't tried them all... but after getting delivery from Lotus Garden a few times, I don't feel the need to try any others. Every dish I've tried has been good (cashew chicken, wonton soup, sweet/sour chicken, general tso's chicken, crab rangoon) but my favorite is the beef with mushrooms. They also have sushi, which is generally very good. I'm usually not a huge fan of Chinese food, because of the texture of the meat (either too tough, or too stringy) but that's not the case here. No need for me to be a Chinese vegetarian anymore! Delivery is quick, prices are reasonable. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because sometimes the recipes seem inconsistent - always good, but the spices seem to change a little with the day. ** This review is only for the delivery; we have not yet dined there. read more

The boneless spare ribs is a must get item when you order from Lotus, the Gen. Tso chicken is also something you must try when ordering from Lotus. Overall great restaurant! read more

First and last time I am ordering from this place. Ordered online. Waited 70 minutes to call and ask what the status of the order was. They said the order never printed they were going to make it and deliver ASAP. Waited a total of 110 minutes with NO DISCOUNT or extra items for the insane inconvenience of a two hour wait. Not acceptable and will not order from them again. read more

Definitely the best Chinese take out in the area. (That I've found...I'm pretty sure I've tried all of them at this point.) Delivery takes a decade so i just go pick it up. The crispy sesame chicken, pork lo mein, and the egg rolls are really good. Ordering online is really easy, staff is all really friendly, so this place is my go to for Chinese. read more

Always friendly. Remembers your name. Delicious takeout and well priced. Best in the area for chinese takeout.

We always order delivery from here. It is wonderful. I love their egg food young and the sauce is amazing. The egg rolls are to die for, the chicken fingers, boneless ribs, chicken with cashews, everything is great! Have never had a bad experience here. read more

Not the greatest place to get Chinese, but the best in the area that delivers. The last few times we've ordered, food was soggy.

Best chinese in bristol area, although most of the stuff tends to be very greasy. Its very clean and they are super nice!

What a fail. Boneless Spare Ribs - very fatty as in spit out unchewable, under cooked, sauce sweet & drippy Steamed Dumplings - doughy California Roll - tasted old Spring roll - Okay My wife disliked it more than I did. read more
