Lotus was closed recently but when they opened, they serve good food. We had prawn crackers, hot and sour soup did not have wood ear mushrooms, cantonese spring rolls were ok but another chinese close to me is better, mushrooms with beef and egg fried rice. Very nice gentleman on reception, quick service. Highly recommended.
First time ordered will not use again, had a beef black bean sauce beef was tough and peppers were over cooked. Asked for gravy for my fussy son (all he will have is chips and gravy ) it wasn’t even gravy all I can describe it as is possibly gravy with sweet sour sauce in. Ordered a special chop suey, chicken tough hardly any prawns in a thick like gravy sauce. Shame I thought it was going to be like the restaurant in Wakefield that was there for many years and lovely. So disappointed will not use again.
Ordered salt and pepper chicken and cashew and chicken. The salt and pepper chicken had an odd smell and even stranger taste. It was inedible, and left a burning sensation on my lips. Real shame as other dish was OK.
Honestly its easily the best Chinese in Wakefield. we did justeat from them and it came to us so hot we couldn't touch the containers. Food was full of flavour and freshness despite what others say. BUY IT
Sweet&sour chicken came as fried chicken balls and sauce seperately. Egg fried rice had no taste to it at all and I could barely see that it was fried with egg. Beef szechuan sauce ok-ish, but beef was hard and chewy. Very bad meal - supermarkets frozen isle chinese meals are 100 times better.
