Subpar Service and Food Quality
Many reviewers have expressed disappointment with their experience at Lotus Chinese Takeaway. Several customers reported receiving subpar service, with some orders being filled incorrectly or phone lines being disconnected during busy hours. Food quality has also suffered, with several reviewers complaining about poorly cooked or bland dishes. The king prawns in batter were described as having an awful and hard batter, while the special chop suey was tasteless. The Singapore noodles were praised for having a nice level of spice, but this was an exception rather than the rule.
Pancake Rolls and Sauce Issues
One reviewer described finding rancid pancake rolls in their order, which were black on the inside and emitted a terrible smell. Another reviewer reported being denied a refund for a missing sweet and sour sauce, despite being charged for the entire order. This incident was compounded by the fact that the phone line was disconnected for over two hours.
Consistency Issues
Several reviewers noted that the quality of the food has dropped recently, with some dishes no longer meeting their expectations. Linda Wright, for example, reported that the special chow mein, fried rice, and stir-fried vegetables have changed for the worse. The recipes were altered to include more sauce and peppers, which clashed with her preferred flavor.
Atmosphere and Service
Reviews for the atmosphere and service at Lotus Chinese Takeaway are mixed. Some reviewers praised the polite and helpful staff, while others reported negative experiences. Linda Payne, however, reported a perfect meal and praised the restaurant's consistent quality.
