    Veggie fried rice
    Jill A.

    No dine-in here these days but the carry-out lunch hit the spot. We ordered the Moo goo Gai Pan in a spicy brown sauce lunch (comes with rice and eggroll) and a side of veggie fried rice which turned out to be HUGE. The vegetables were hot and fresh - btw, why is broccoli always hotter than every other veggie? Anyway, there are no tables or benches outside the restaurant so we drove a ways to find a place to sit. The two of us were stuffed afterwards and there were still leftovers. So So Good.

    If I wanted soup. I would have ordered it. I can not beleive this shit.

    What a shit show. My Kung Pow Chicken is a good damn soup. They didn't care either cause "they don't know what happened on the drive home" yeah I stopped at the store to get the sauce to put it in to make it over flow. First time and last time what a waste of 100$.

    Orange chicken

    It's not the fanciest place but it is the Best Chinese food I've ever had. Their orange chicken is unmatched. It has a Zesty spicy kick and heats up great. Cute family owned business and everyone is super nice. Seating on the inside can't accommodate a large group but they have great family deals my family would order take out and bring it home

    Not much flavor to their food. They have upped their prices on everything. Their shrimp was not fresh and the chicken they used was tough.

Conveniently, we are in town for a couple days and our hotel is just right down the road. It was only right to mark this joint off my SLC food list. We came in around 5 and it was empty. My MIL and I picked a booth by the windows. I enjoy seeing the buzz of this city. It's was chaotic outside but so chill inside. It was nice to have the joint to ourselves. Jay served us tonight. He dropped off a couple menus and got some waters started for us. It was my MIL's first time trying Vietnamese cuisine. It took her a minute to breeze over the menu. As much as I wanted everything, I started off with a cup of the hot and sour soup. For dinner I got the black bean shrimp with veggies. My MIL decided on the bun thit nuong with cha gio. Last minute my MIL decided on some hot and sour soup too. They were dropped off first and it was perfect for hot soup on this cold winter day. The broth was thick and flavorful. It had hearty pieces of tofu, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. The soup had a good heat to it. The heat didn't hit you right away, it gradually got spicier the more you ate it. My mouth was burning towards the end of my bowl. It was good but it could have been a bit more sour. My plate of black bean shrimp and veggies came out hot! The veggies looked fresh and colorful. The shrimp were plump. And the sauce smelled flavorful and salty from the fermented black bean. You can tell my dish just came out fresh from the wok. The veggies and shrimp were so hot! The shrimp were perfectly cooked. The zucchini, green peppers and bamboo shoots were my favorite. All the veggies were covered in sauce, probably the best way to eat your veggies. I ate the whole plate! I'm not the biggest fan of water chestnuts and I even polished those off. My dish was fantastic. Jay did a great job serving us tonight. He was patient and attentive. He checked up on us several times even though he was so busy with to go orders. The location of this joint was so convenient. Even though it was freezing out, it was cool to walk to dinner. But it's also got to know they have parking available for their guests. Jay did a great job taking care of us tonight. And the food was spot on. I still have quite a few places I need to hit up when I'm in SLC but if we stay in the area again, I will have to hit up Red Lotus again. It was hands down a great meal and experience.

    Not far from downtown but we still drove :) Parking can be…read morevalidated by the restaurant; take your license plate info with you and ask a staff member for the validation code so you can enter it in the parking app. Booth and table seating. There's a small bar area too. For drinks, we had a soda and I ordered sweet tea. Had I known the tea was bottled I would've ordered something else. It has lemon in it and it's not my fancy. For starters, we had the fresh spring rolls and egg rolls. The spring rolls are pretty straight forward with fresh mint also. The egg rolls were a little different from what we'd consider traditional but they were good. I also had the sweet n sour soup which was good. The Peking wings were crispy and piping hot on the inside. Would absolutely order again. The shrimp pad thai was sweet and delicious.

This tastes like mom's kitchen if mom had a high flamed gas stove. The dishes that benefited from that smoky hot wok flavor had it. I was so excited to eat I forgot to take pics of all the dishes at the table. Green beans with garlic was so tasty, I finished the leftovers the same night, I remembered to take a photo in the takeout container. The cauliflower (I don't know the actual name but it's stir fried, spicy and comes with peppers) had wok hei and I couldn't stop eating it. Beef rolls is the sophisticated auntie of the scallion pancake. Think of it like an asian burrito with thin sliced beef, fresh scallion and cilantro, and a touch of hoisin all hugged together with a crispy tasty scallion pancake. The shredded potato tastes like the best potato salad that isn't your picnic potato salad. The shredded potatoes were quickly blanched then stir fried preserving the crunch and crispness similar to al dente pasta. Seasoning was on point. The homiest flavor came from the stewed short rib. The rib pieces were braised in a soy and star anise sauce like what you find in Taiwanese beef noodle soup. The peels potatoes were cut rustically and just cooked through and not mushy. Authentic flavors and freshness like this is so so hard to come by. I can taste the quality of the ingredients used. One tip I have for selecting authentic food is by looking at the customers. If the customers are all Asian eating at an Asian restaurant, you know the food is going to be good. Service was 10/10, waitress was super polite and stopped by to chat with us about the food and SLC. I am from out of town but I grew up eating at NYC Asian restaurants and this is as good as if not better. If you happen to stop by the largest Costco in the world, make a pit stop here to refuel after all those steps.

    You have to know what to order here or be looking for authentic food. Here is the thing that makes…read moreme happiest. I love the fried rice. I couldn't tell you what they put in it other than to tell you, it doesn't matter. Well I could tell you that it has green onion and char siu. The thing I order every single time is the beef roll. It is an onion pancake wrapped around beef, cilantro, and green onion with a delectable sauce. I can't stop tasting it. I feel like you can't go wrong with any of the noodle dishes. Be prepared for a culinary adventure, you won't be disappointed.

It was close and the pictures looked like just what I wanted. We learned though don't leave your house at 5:30 pm ever. It took as an hour to go 5.3 miles. The traffic was extra horrible in all directions. When we finally arrived we were both really hungry. We ordered the Family Special B. We both chose our own entree and we picked Walnut Shrimp and Mongolian Beef. It comes with four fried shrimp and 4 cheese wontons, fried rice and of course the mandatory fortune cookie. The inside looks cute and cozy. Buddha greets you and he's happy because he was dripping in dollars. They were really busy and people kept pouring in so I didn't get to ask why he had all those bills. The food was delicious. It came with Hot and Sour Soup which was hot in temperature and in spiciness. The shrimp was fresh and melted in your mouth. The Mongolian Beef is drenched in onions, celery and peppers and had some heat too. They were kind and we will be back. That way I can get to the bottom of the Buddha.

The shrimps were big and there were 8 pieces which was generous. The dinner combo was missing the egg drop soup I selected for my order and the ham fried rice was hard (-1 star for this). However, the sides egg roll, cream cheese ragoon, and pan fried chicken were a plus to the dinner combo. The wonton soup I ordered separately was amazing and I could eat it in two meals since it was one big size. The price was pretty good for the amount of food and quality.
