Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply on Lotus House, and the complaints centre on the food arriving cold or underwhelming. Several describe chicken balls as small and hard with little chicken inside, and others mention a special curry where the meats were put in the tray with sauce poured over, pancake rolls dripping in oil, and spare ribs in a congealed sauce. A satay skewer sauce was likened to brown water, and smoked chicken was called tough and recooked. Delivery and order handling draw repeated criticism: one reviewer waited hours for a delivery with cold chips and curry full of skin, and another says the order was forgotten after two hours. One reports being refused a full refund after returning a tray, getting it back only after a dispute. A fried rice order with gravy was made despite repeated requests for it dry. Regulars of many years counter that the food is always top quality, ready quickly, and served by polite, lovely staff, with one calling it a family go-to and another never having a bad experience.
