Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the king prawn fried rice and king prawn chilli and garlic sauce as standouts, calling the prawns juicy and the dishes perfectly cooked. Several also praise the speed of delivery and the generous, piping hot portions. Close behind, the ribs, salt and pepper chips, and satay skewers draw frequent mention, though a recurring complaint describes these as dry, over-seasoned, or stale, with one reviewer noting a salt and pepper box contained only five pieces of chicken. Some report the chips as hard and dry, while others say the curry remains consistently good. One diner describes a Christmas Eve order gone wrong after pre-booking, and another notes a sharp decline in quality, suspecting new management or a new chef. A few highlight the pleasant staff and quick service.

“Just had a takeaway from the Lotus Garden. When ordering I was told delivery could take up to an hour as they were extremely busy. Food arrived within 45 mins piping hot. Quality and quantity were superb best Chinese takeaway I have had for ages. Service quality everything was excellent thoroughly recommend”

“Ordered many times however recently food has gone down hill. Ribs, salt and pepper chips and satay skewers are really dry. Ribs shouldn’t have even been sold the quality was shocking. Salt and pepper box had 5 pieces of chicken in absolutely abysmal and was way over seasoned. Everything used to taste so fresh and now tastes dry / stale and over seasoned. Really unfortunate as this was our favourite Chinese in the area.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
