    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was nice, staff was friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] super downside almost 18 for their "lunch " special? For this and a soup ? Wanted to give a shot but save your money. Food was about 3 out of 10 . Looks sad

    We were in the area and this restaurant had pretty good reviews so we tried it out. The inside is dark, old and dated. For atmosphere, I give it 2 stars. We ordered the beef mongolian dish and it was delicious! The flavors were spot on, the portion was big, and the prices are comparable to others. Food was 4 stars. If we are in the area again I'd love to try other dishes. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and the food was fast. 4 stars to the employees! I noticed a lot of to-go orders while we were there so it's definitely a popular restaurant. It just could use some updating on the inside.

    We went out to eat here last night with the family. We left our son's stuffed bunny that he has had since birth there. We called the next morning to pick up the bunny and no one had seen the stuffed animal yet this was the only place we went to and the went straight home. Please check your camera and return our missing friend. $150 reward to owner, please help us. We also eat here all the time. I will be sad if this is our last dining experience at Lotus because of this incident.

    Everything was very good. I absolutely loved my plate

    On a temporary assignment & they catered lunch last day. Omg I thoroughly enjoyed everything on my plate the only thing that has kept me from returning is distance however if I'm ever in the area for ANY reason I'm going without question

    Chicken fried rice with vegetables
    Marissa G.

    I ordered Lotus Hunan for dinner. I called up the restaurant and placed my order. After about 15 minutes I went to pick it up. I walked in the door. Told them my name, paid and they gave me my food. The person working at the front was very nice so I would say that the service was good at pick up. I didn't eat in the restaurant but from what I saw it was a large open area with booths, tables and chairs. I left with my food for home. I ordered the chicken fried rice with vegetables and egg rolls. The chicken fried rice with vegetables comes with chicken, egg, green onion, carrots, and green peas, mixed with rice that's fried and soy sauce. It has just a little bit of flavor. I usually add sweet and sour sauce which makes the fried rice sweet. The egg rolls were crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. I eat my egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce as well. This restaurant has good Chinese food with decent prices.

    Food is very bland, you're better off going to a Chinese buffet and getting something that's more flavorful to be honest.

    General Tso's chicken was dry and flavorless. Rice wasn't cooked very well. Crab Rangoon was almost cold. Overall just not good.

Did not have a reservation on this occasion, but they always make me feel welcome and manage to fit us in. Sat on the outdoor covered patio that was cool and shaded. The atmosphere is modern and lively, making it a great spot for a weekend brunch. Started the meal with cocktails including Lycheetini with Deep Eddy Vodka, Giffard Lichi-li. lemon, cranberry, I cut the cranberry. Also had a Fresa Paloma with Socorro Reposado Tequila, Contratto, strawberry, lime, grapefruit, five-spice that was very sweet and garnished with a flower. You are given a card where you can mark your dim sum selections. I ordered the Shrimp Pancake, Snow Crab Ball and Chinese Sausage Sticky Rice. The standout was the shrimp pancake that had a really great texture and flavor. The snow crab ball had a strange texture with shrimp surrounding the snow crab claw. The Chinese Sticky Rice is always a favorite. Also ordered the Truffle Egg Fried rice and Birds Nest with Seasonal Vegetable. The Truffle rice is so flavorful like a flavor explosion in your mouth. The Birds Nest is made with fried potato shreds which contain the a variety of vegetables including cauliflower, peppers, mushrooms and asparagus. The nest is also edible and has a crunchy texture. The presentation of the food is amazing and everything came out hot and fresh. The flavors were on point, and you can tell there's attention to detail in the preparation. Service was attentive outdoors and the pacing of dishes felt just right for a relaxed brunch. This restaurant is truly a gem whether you come for brunch or dinner service. Will definitely be back.

Service was fine but we were out front on the patio and though our waiter was attentive while we ordered, we ended up finishing and waiting 40 minutes for someone to come by so we could grab the check. I ended up just heading inside and the maître d' was able to close us out. Tables around us were open so I'm not sure what had them held up, and it could've been a one off, but definitely not ideal at this price point.

My boyfriend and I came here because of the great reviews, but unfortunately our visit was nothing like we expected. From the moment we walked in, the experience was disappointing. The host literally pointed to our table instead of walking us to it, which immediately felt unwelcoming. No one introduced themselves or even told us who our server was, so we never knew anyone's name throughout the entire meal. Throughout our meal, no one checked on us even once, and we had to flag our waiter down multiple times whenever we needed something. Plates and drinks were also repeatedly slammed down on the table, which came across as rude and unprofessional. Every interaction felt rushed, and the staff acted like they were annoyed we were there. The customer service was awful, and it made for a really unpleasant first experience. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.

    Having grown up in a household where dumpling making and preparation were treated as a meditation…read moreon perfection, I've been incredibly pleased to see Austin seriously upping its dumpling game. While I've yet to find a Korean joint with a proper Korean mandoo on offer, Chinese varieties are thriving with the likes of Julie's Noodles, Steamies, Lin's and, the subject of my review, Dumpling World. Definitely don't expect ambiance here. After suffering the Triangle's persistent lack of parking, you'll walk into this place and find a really spare, almost utilitarian set up that screams "we mean business." They definitely mean business. I've probably been here a good 5-6 times, and have tried almost everything on the menu. Soup dumplings shine -- my daughter refuses to eat them anywhere else -- and their recently introduced thumb buns, which I think are fried mini soup dumplings, just ooze flavor. More traditional half-moon dumplings, no matter your filling of choice, steamed or fried, never disappoint. Don't ignore the non-dumpling items too. I don't know what the seasoning is in their green beans, but it's ridiculously delicious. You'll never look at green beans or haricot vert the same way ever again. Good, but unremarkable, are the soups and stews. Better to get those at other Chinese eateries. I don't mean to dissuade anyone from those, but did you really come to a place called Dumpling World to eat anything but dumplings? It gets crowded here at times so I recommend trying on a weekday evening. Uniformly, whether it's packed or slow, service is quick and courteous. With dumplings this good, it's clear that humility is one of the key ingredients to their consistency and quality.
