    Clay pot with chicken

    First time eating here!! They did butter for me instead of oil. Love that. Family owned. Super kind and great portions. We will return.

    Neptune Platter is AMAZING
    Barbara V.

    Consistently excellent food, service and friendliness. Family owned , local fresh ingredients served with a smile. Great location for hosting business or family /fun events. Serene patio with flowers and fairy lights. Highly recommend this restaurant

    The Happy Family with jalapeños
    Ralph S.

    The Thai basil chicken was delicious. It had plenty of spice and had plenty of flavorful vegetables. The pork and shrimp spring rolls were a whole different story. We asked for them to an appetizer, yet came after the entree came. When they arrived the first bite was rancid. We complained and were not charged. It's really a shame that this place can't get it together. It's in the hood and convenient. Although, we won't waste our money here again.

    Spiced Garlic Chicken
    Rolando N.

    Exceptional Chinese food. It's the westernized version but it hits all the right notes on flavor, spice and quality. Sauces are full of flavor and they do a good job of tempering the amount of sugar and volume they use. Most other places just drench their food in sugary sauce. Batter on the chicken is light and crunchy. Their is an attention to detail that is very noticeable. They have all the standard dishes and a few specialties and honestly, it's all great. Service was friendly and prompt. Also, their prices are very reasonable. Great value.

    Feed your inner office worker. My company actually moved offices, closer to 360, so the food options have been severely limited. Fortunately, Red Lotus to the rescue. In terms of the menu, there are plenty of options to choose from, think Panda Express but with table service. No, that's not a ding, but more of a reference point in terms of the food you can expect here: Kung Pao Chicken, Broccoli Beef, Garlic Pork, you get it. There's also pho and curry entrees if you're feeling something other than 'Chinese'. The lunch entrees are a good value since you get an eggroll and choice of soup. Note, let me put the 4 stars in context, this isn't 4 stars from Henry the foodie, this is 4 stars from Henry, corporate slave, who doesn't want to drive far. So temper your expectations, and reflect on your after-meal fortune cookie.

    My gf norm likes to get the pad Thai. I think the chef forgot an ingredient or the sauce. It was very dry and bland. We did order takeout so maybe that's why. It was a 50$ order of food. Mehhh

    Bangkok Basil Combo Lunch
    Tracey Z.

    Walking in I was unsure how authentic the food here would be but the large customizable menu seemed to cater to many different tastes and appetites. The lunch combo is a really great deal - a main dish with an egg roll and soup for about $11 is a steal. I got the Bangkok Basil with shrimp. Although rut was not as spicy as I would have liked it was still good. I also wish the basil flavor was a bit stronger however the vegetables and shrimp were well prepared. The egg roll was also crispy. Alone it was kind of flavorless but pairing it with the basil sauce made it better. The egg drop soup was pretty good - very rich and flavorful. I tried my friends Lemon Pepper tofu - I would definitely recommend this. Overall large portion sizes, will definitely fill you up.

    Shrimp Egg Foo Yung and broccoli (instead of rice)
    Nina W.

    This place is never busy and the food is consistently delicious. There's really nice, covered outdoor seating. The people are super friendly and kind. The shrimp egg foo yung is amazing. I've also ordered Mandarin Moo Shoo and it's equally delicious. Large and flavorful portions. Outside, there are wind chimes and decorative lights. Great spot for a small family gathering. It's a hidden gem!

    6 Pieces Steamed Dumplings
    Alexandra H.

    Our family has always ordered takeout from red lotus, but today my fiancé took us to dine in. The food is always incredible through takeout, and it's even better in person. The service is a liiiittle slow, but that's fine. The food makes it absolutely worth it. We started off ordering the sample platter appetizer and steamed dumplings. Everything was great. As usual. Then for main entrees, we orders the general tso with chicken, beef fried rice, and chicken lo mein. Everything came out in a timely manner, and my initial assumption of everything being incredible in person was absolutely correct. I can't wait to dine here again.

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.

The place reminded me of Ling Wu in the Grove area because the decor looked similar. Maybe they are owned by the same people? Firstly, I was impressed with the fact they had a FREE parking garage nearby since this is in the downtown area and next to Whole Foods. It took me a bit to find it as I'm directionally challenged, but I did and was just running a bit late. We really enjoyed the food and cocktails. I got the Singaporean noodles, a mezcal drink, and a sake. The serving size was big so I had plenty to take home. We shared many of the other dumplings and dim sum items. Everything was very good! The place wasn't too crowded so after we paid our bill we sat around for a while longer to chat and catch up. Usually someone would come by to see if we needed or wanted anything further, but no one did so we kept chatting and left. I'm happy to know of a central location with easy parking as a future place to meet people. I wish they had a happy hour because the bill for 3 of us was unexpectedly higher than usual.

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.

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.
