    We were looking for some Chinese food for Mother's Day. We first called Bamboo Garden. Someone answered the phone and said they were closed. Okay... time to formulate a plan B. The next call was to China Pepper. They said they were out of a few things and it would be about an hour to get a to-go order ready. Szechuan Garden in Montclair is always a good choice but no one felt like driving that far. I noticed Lotus Garden on Google Maps over in nearby Upland. I had passed by a few times and the name caught my eye because there used to be a Lotus Garden in San Bernardino. There's probably no connection however. Anyway... we placed a call to Lotus Garden and ordered Almond Chicken, Chicken in Black Bean Sauce, Beef with Snow Peas, and Chicken Fried Rice. We were told it would be ready in about 20 minutes. I headed out the door and arrived about 15-20 minutes later. Our order was waiting for me when I got there. I paid and was quickly on my way. I forgot to take a photo of the food in the containers but you can see a little of each on my plate here. It was really good. They did give us Shrimp Fried Rice instead of Chicken Friend Rice but no one seemed to mind. I think my favorite dish was the Chicken in Black Bean Sauce. I would definitely order that again.

    We do miss this place. We lived in Rancho for 20 years and it was out to place. Visiting friends in area and had to come back. Updated to restaurant and the food is so fresh. Nothing dozen and fried here. You can taste its freshness.

    4. Crispy Walnut Shrimp

    Friendly staff and quick service. They have a great lunch menu. The crispy walnut shrimp is very delicious.

    Broccoli Beef

    Phenomenal restaurant with great customer service! Located in a quiet part of town, you're sure to get a relaxing meal experience. They offer lunch specials every day from 11am - 4pm. The following was lunch specials were ordered: - egg drop soup, fried rice and broccoli beef - egg drop soup, fried rice, and curry chicken - hot and sour soup, brown rice, and sautéed veggies - wonton soup, steamed rice, and Mongolian beef * broccoli beef and curry chicken only pictured as the urge to eat outweighed the mandatory meal pics. *

    Orange Tofu

    I enjoyed a plant-based meal. The service was wonderful. The server was attentive and accommodated my request for a meatless meal. I ordered the baby bok choy with button mushrooms entree and asked for orange tofu The meal was delicious. It was my first time here. The restaurant was clean, there was plenty of parking, and the service was quick. I will definitely return.

    That is the "fried rice" and vegetable chow mein with a partial veg egg roll.

    This business has been around for 13 years, not I didn't notice it until today. Apparently, I used…read moreto be more of a formal, sit-down restaurant, but remodeled recently to serve the demand for Chinese fast food. I came in with my sons at 11am, right after it opened door the day. We got Combo 3 plates and the current promo was a free drink with each combo. The orange chicken was exceptionally good. It was flavorful, not fatty, not to much batter, and had a nice crispiness. I had the teriyaki chicken as well. It was good, but not nearly as good as the orange chicken. For the side, I just had streamed rice, which was fine. My sons had the chow mein, which they said was just okay. Overall, we're happy with the food and experience and will likely be back next time we're looking for Chinese fast food.

    We ordered takeout from China One on Sunday for dinner and had a terrible experience. As soon as we…read moreopened the chow mein, it had a funky smell. It did not smell fresh at all, which was already concerning. We also ordered three wonton soups. Since eating the food Sunday night, my entire household has gotten sick. Some of my kids started vomiting and having diarrhea on Monday. By Tuesday, my husband and my aunt were also sick with vomiting, diarrhea, and slight fever. Right now, everyone in my house is dealing with the same symptoms. This was the only meal we all shared. It has been extremely stressful and upsetting watching my family feel this sick. We will never eat here again.

    I came here with my brother and his girlfriend around 5:30 p.m. on a Saturday and I will say this…read moreplace is packed!!! The line was turning and twisting indoor and even went out the side door exit. You already know before ordering this place is legit and expected to have amazing food. They are the original home/founder of the Spicy Orange Chicken fries. The inspiration was from carne asada fries with a Chinese American food twist to it. They also have a secret menu item called the carry-out noodles, which consist of their chow mein with their spicy house sauce and orange chicken stir fried together. And of course, like any other Chinese American takeout/fast casual location they are known for their 1,2,or 3 item combo with the 3 item being only $13.59. That alone can feed a family of 3-4 people. I had the pleasure to meet the owner and his staff behind scenes and everyone was incredibly hospitable, efficient, and welcoming! There is a sense of closeness and comfort I of course had to order their popular and viral dish (the Spicy Orange Chicken fries) and wanted to take on the carry-out noodles and see what it's all about! Spicy Orange Chicken Fries - 5/5 I couldn't believe how well this worked together. Stir fried in their extremely hot wok along with chili pepper, crinkle fries, orange chicken, topped with shredded cheese, special spicy house sauce, and green onions. Simple yet packed with flavors! The fries were crispy along with the orange chicken that was cooked separately in coated battered. Every bit is packed with flavor and crispiness. I could barely put much in my mouth because each ingredient holds its integrity on its shape. Carry Out Noodles - 5/5 Noodles are bouncy and chewy with a slight kick to it. The orange chicken held its integrity and wasn't soggy. The dish itself did not taste as though it was drenched in sauce, but was nicely coated on top. 3 Item Combo - 5/5 I got the chow mein&fried rice as the base. My three items were bbq pork char siu, beef broccoli, and steam vegetables. The char siu was perfectly cooked with the right amount of chewiness and although they poured the sauce on top, it was not drenched in the sauce. The beef broccoli had tender beef and the broccoli itself was crunchy and fresh. Steamed vegetables was how I remember it to be. The spicy orange chicken fries and carry out noodles are only made to order and not readily available. I just love that because it guarantees its freshness and comes out piping hot!

    Saw the Orange Chicken Fries on IG Made the drive down to…read moreMontclair for lunch with a friend Space was clean and free of bad odors The line advanced quickly and we found a place to sit and enjoy our food The Orange Chicken Fries were very fresh and cooked to order The Orange Chicken sauce was a step above the ordinary The barbecue pork was probably the best I have ever had; juicy and tender and sweet and savory The other buffet items ,like beef and broccoli and kung pao chicken looked decent, but the orange chicken and bbq pork were the stars of the show The portions were gigantic and the price was very reasonable Probably the best storefront Chinese food I have had in Southern California I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys American Chinese food I would have given it 5 stars, but they served me the last few scraggly looking pieces of Orange Chicken from an empty pan instead of waiting for a fresh pan from the kitchen No big deal, and the food was still delicious but details matter in the food biz Don't miss out on this Montclair masterpiece
