If I could give a negative review I would never before have I had schzwan chicken that was sweet and voila never mind the fact I had no idea how much celery could fit in a "quart" portion and a minimal amount of chicken her is the kicker I said NO MSG she heard and responded well MSG gives me a horrific headache and tends to make me sick ...... no need to be more graphic Ps Covid is over DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY THIS PLACE IS VIAL read more

Lotus Pond has very quick service. The best item we've had from there is the egg foo young. Post covid their dining room has still not reopened. They've turned into a carry out location. Other items from here such as the orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken were okay. Not very flavorful but definitely okay. The fried rice is very firm and also not very flavorful. The people working here are nice, the prices are average, and the food is prepared fresh. read more

I got Lotus Pond since I heard from others that it was the "best" Chinese food in the area and I am on the prowl for a good Chinese restaurant. I ordered the Egg Roll, the Chicken Fried Rice and the Shrimp Lo Mein. The egg roll was really good actually and definitely worth the price. The shrimp lo mein was super saucy which is usually a good thing but this sauce was horrible. To make matters worse, the lo mein was mostly vegetables so I didn't even get much noodle which is the appeal of lo mein. I pretty much ate saucy vegetables and mushrooms. And the fried rice... was (and I am not being hyperbolic) the driest fried rice I have ever had. It tasted reheated and not moist at all. It also lacked flavor and the chicken inside tasted like cardboard. I only had a couple bites of both these dishes before putting it away. I technically paid $23 for an egg roll is how I view this meal. I hate that I have to give a negative review to a local place but I have to stay true to my integrity. read more

The employees are extremely rude. They do not acknowledge you when you walk through the door and when you try to get their attention, they are extremely rude. They won't tell you how long your wait time is it's just if you wanna wait you can wait. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Save your money or spend it with someone who is actually nice and caring about the people who are spending money at their establishment horrible horrible horrible customer service do not visit this place read more

Extremely rude staff. Every time i call here the lady on the phone is so rude. she doesn't understand my order and she repeats it to me very rudely and hangs up without a name or a total. read more

When I lived in Warren seven years ago, I always ordered the orange chicken combo. My husband enjoyed it too, but he got tired of it because I ordered it twice a week! It was that good! Now that I'm visiting Warren this week, I had to go to Lotus Pond to get my favorite dish--the orange chicken. And let me say, it's still as good as ever! I can honestly say this is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the world. Better than Panda Express! 5/5 stars. read more

Lotus Pond Restaurant - Orange Chicken combo. - Chinese Near Me - Warren, Michigan

We ordered egg drop soup, egg rolls, sesame chicken everything was delicious. Service was friendly and fast. The food was hot and ready on time. It is only take out but servings and service are still worth the call to Lotus Pond! read more

Disappointing experience. I ordered via DoorDash. I chose the beef lomein. The menu clearly states that an egg roll and soup are included (either wonton or egg drop). I specified in the instruction section that I preferred wonton. I also added an extra egg roll to my order. Immediately after placing the order I received a notification that my order total had been updated. They charged me for the soup. So even though the menu states it came with it, apparently it did not. When my order arrived, it only came with 1 egg roll so apparently that didn't come with either even though it was stated that it did. Next up is the food. It wasn't good. The lomein was so over cooked that the vegetables in it were limp and soggy, the beef was dry and the noodles were so over cooked they were mushy. The egg roll was only ok. The only thing that was good was, ironically, the soup. Overall, I wouldn't order from here again, nor would I recommend it to others. read more

Pros: almond boneless chicken was delicious, egg rolls were great, crab Rangoons were excellent, very fair prices Con: fried rice was just okay and chicken portion was a bit small. I definitely expected a bit more compared to other places read more

My family has been eating here since 1994. Almond boneless and sweet and sour chicken are our jam. Best Chinese food in Michigan!

Awesome food & service here. Everyone is so friendly here. However they don't offer dine in.

Absolutely never getting take out from this restaurant again. I ordered General Tso's chicken. Pros +Prompt with the order +Egg roll was okay - More bread than chicken - The dish was lacking in sauce; some pieces of chicken were completely dry. -Wonton soup had no chicken read more

Very very good lo mein. Incredibly authentic and affordable. Good portion sizes. Needed a little more seasoning but that's about it. I come here often. Love it!!! read more

I love Chinese food and it's difficult to find a place that serves up something tasty. After a recommendation from a friend we decided to give Lotus Pond a whirl. The building was very nondescript, but the parking lot was pretty full, so that is always a good sign. Walking in it reminded me of my favorite Chinese restaurant I went to growing up. I always order Sweet & Sour Chicken as a baseline with any new Chinese place I visit. Theirs was pretty dang good! The fried rice, in my opinion, was better after adding a bit more soy sauce but overall tasty. With an entree you get a cup of soup (I ordered Wonton, really solid), a sweet roll, and cookies to round it all out. For the two of us, it ended up being around $20 and I left with 85% of my meal because of how big the portions were. This is my new Chinese spot! read more

Lotus Pond Restaurant - Sweet and Sour Chicken w/ Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Warren, Michigan

I used to love this restaurant. The food is exactly to my liking. However, once, several years ago, I wandered in for take-outs and I observed one of the owners (I believed) shucking the beans and then taking money from a customer and returning to shuck the beans without washing her hands. It put a bad taste in my mouth because she was contaminating the food with dirty money. I can't bring myself to return to the Lotus Pond. read more

Ordered this for lunch at work via DoorDash. Chinese takeout places are hit or miss, and this definitely fell in the latter. I didn't get my hopes up, but silly mistakes really made this experience worse. I ordered General Tso's Chicken (and it wasn't despite the fact they call it that) and there was an option to have it with a crispy batter, which I elected to do. I also got it with an egg roll and a cup of egg drop soup. The first issue I had was that they packed the chicken pieces into a tiny takeout box as opposed to putting it in a plastic container like so many places do now. This basically caused all the batter to get soggy, break off and become inedible. If that wasn't bad enough the sauce collected at the bottom and the top was too dry. They couldn't even be bothered to chop the green onions into smaller bite sized pieces. It's sad because the actual chicken prices were tender and flavorful. The egg drop soup was also a bland mush of cornstarch with no discernable taste. The egg roll was okay but you could tell it was probably frozen at one point. I really don't like writing bad reviews, but I can't excuse this. read more

One of my go-to restaurants for take-out. Good food for the price! Also, the serving size is great.

easily the worst Thai food I've ever had. it had zero flavor, how it can even be called Pad Thai is beyond me. the crab Rangoon had hardly anything in them. basically just eating a wonton with nothing inside. I never leave reviews and am not a picky eater but don't ever come to this place. read more

Lotus Pond Restaurant - Emperor Chicken w/ almond boneless and egg roll leftovers. That emperors chicken is amazing. No mushrooms - Chinese Near Me - Warren, Michigan

Consistent and the BEST in Warren!! Friendly staff excellent sweet and sour. But everything is good!

Some of the worst Chinese food i ever had. Vegetables were over done and mushy. Even in the soup. Nothing seemed fresh. Flavor was bad and left a bad after taste. This place was good several years ago. Might be under new ownership, resting on the laurels of the prior ownership. Their only saving grace was their spring rolls. This is the second time I've ordered food from here in the past 15 months. Still just as awful. Never again. read more

Ordered chicken and broccoli carry out, got all the way to work and started eating and then I saw a light green object that looked similar to broccoli except it wasn't, it was a dead caterpillar. I went up to the store for a refund and they took my food to the back.... I did not witness them throwing out the food that had bugs in it. read more

I've been coming here over 10+ years. Order pepper steak and they've change the gravy and chicken fried rice. And not in a good way.

My shrimp was great, however I expected more veggies (there is only celery) and some type of noodles. I have a platter full of bean sprouts. Meh it could be better. read more

Lotus Pond Restaurant - Shrimp Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Warren, Michigan

20 plus years I've been ordering chinese from the fine folks here at Lotus Pond. We order a variety of menu items ranging from the sweet & sour chicken, almond boneless chicken, general tso chicken, and a few other dishes. Yes, I'm aware its mostly fried chicked with different sauces but the sauces, soups, eggrolls, bread, combos & consistency has been what sets them apart from your average around the corner chinese restaurant. I feel like the last time the Lotus Pond family went back to their homeland for their yearly month long vacation they sent someone else back to man the restaurant. All the sudden (past 3 or 4 visits) no one can properly answer the phone, the rice has been old, dry & looks like shit. They changed the recipe of the wonton soup, it now tastes like bean sprout broth & the dumplings are always blown out. They seam to forget something every visit, this time it was the won tons.... for the "Won Ton Soup", pretty frustrating when you live 5 plus miles away. The eggrolls are garbage now, we throw them away almost every time. The last time the four of us popped in we got stiffed when we asked for a 4th fortune cookie cause we only ordered 3 combos (kids split an adult order), come on. Not sure what the deal is but I hope they figure it before our next visit, would be a shame if it was one of our last. read more

We are neighbors and this is our go to place. Always a lot of food and we lof the shrimp with broccolis and almond boneless chicken. The chicken is so tender and flavorful. We have not gotten soup since covid with carry outs but it was very good when we ate in. Thanks for providing us such a nice place nearby. read more

Mediocre Chinese food. Ordered from here 2 or 3 times and one time they gave me the wrong food and blamed me for getting the wrong food which was kinda rude. The almond boneless chicken is ok nothing exciting, not a lot of flavor. The rice is bland and sometimes over cooked. I don't recommend this place but if you like food with little flavor this is your place to go. read more

I love the vegetable fried rice, potstickers, and spring rolls here. Those items are all I've tried but they are a cut above typical for sure read more

After trying this place for a second time, it's just bad. The vegetables are not fresh, they use canned mushrooms, pea pods are like rubber and my chicken was very tough! Gosh, I hope it was actual chicken! There are other Chinese restaurants that are such better quality and take pride in their food. I opted to Door Dash and was limited with options. read more

I ordered the shrimp lo mein delivered. It arrived piping hot. It was a good portion - definitely at least two meals for me. It was loaded with big shrimp. The sauce was light and tasty. The noodles were cooked just right with some mushrooms, pea pods, bok choy and water chestnuts. I will be ordering from here again! read more

I ordered almond boneless chicken with sauce on the side they had gave me the smallest side of gravy that I only got a quarter of chicken covered disappointed because it was very good and I wanted to finish it. Not worth it. read more

I seen on a community site that Lotus Pond has changed owners and it shows. Eggrolls were flavorless. The gravy for the almost boneless chicken had no taste. Like someone else mentioned, it's just thick yellow starch slurry. Usually, the Lotus Pond fried rice is on point and this time it is lacking. If they could give the the same quality as the old owners, they would retain their customer base. read more

I always say that it is hard to find a good Chinese restaurant that is consistent. Lotus pond was recently recommended to me. The first time I ordered I did a delivery. I was surprised at how much food I received. I ordered the chicken and broccoli dish. Their chicken and broccoli uses a brown/oyster sauce instead of the white sauce I am used to. While, I really enjoy the other sauce on this dish, I still thought their's was pretty good. I got this same dish when I dined in and the meal was consistent with my last order. The interior is just like any other dine in Chinese restaurant that hasn't changed their look in years. My boyfriend enjoyed this as it reminded him of his favorite Chinese restaurant by where he grew up. I tried to egg drop soup this time and I thought it was great. We also got the wanton soup. It was SLIGHTLY under salted, but we would rather it be this way than too salty tasting. The egg rolls were pretty good and I really enjoyed the plum sauce. They also gave us the warm sweet bread, which I have not had in years. It was great and super carby. The other entree we ordered was the orange chicken. Very good dish overall. We thought the fried rice needed a tad more soy sauce, but still was really good. We noticed this place was really busy with carry-outs while we were there, so it obviously is doing something right. read more

This is another classic Chinese restaurant to sit down with friends and enjoy this classic comfort food.

Great food, large portions, nice staff. Pick up service went well, fast, food was hot, on time, and gooood!!!

Was disappointed in our order from Lotus Pond this weekend. We did DoorDash and everything on their end was great. However, the food was less than okay. My almond sauce for almond boneless chicken was basically yellow, thick, liquid corn starch. No flavor at all except for corn starch and there was thick balls of it mixed in. The eggrolls were tasteless and dry. My husbands pad Thai was made with plum sauce instead of the pad Thai sauce. Wonton soup was the only thing that was okay, however even that had very little flavor. This place used to be a go to for me about ten years ago and wanted to try it again with my husband. Sadly probably won't be returning. read more
