Lotus Beijing Cantonese - Thurrock

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was welcomed by a young man with a bright smile. He quickly moved from behind the reception desk to open the door wide for an elderly person riding an electric scooter, showing great helpfulness. After placing our order, we received a voucher and he explained its benefits to us. Our food was prepared quickly in an open kitchen, and we also received free crackers since our order was over £20. The Wall Siu Chicken, my favorite dish, was delicious with sweet chili sauce drizzled over sliced chicken breast meat. I highly recommend this place as the service is exceptional.

Always rated this place, spotless and food while not amazing was decent quality. Now it is just a dump, had wide ranging takeaway and almost all of it was binned after a few mouthfuls. Not picky eaters but this was simply awful food. Angry we wasted our Friday night dinner on this horrible place.

I have been a loyal customer of this takeout restaurant since it first opened. The food was always top-notch, fresh, and delicious. However, ever since the ownership changed in mid-2019, the quality has significantly declined. During my recent visit, I was extremely disappointed with the food. The special fried rice was no longer made with flavorful Chinese pork, but instead with low-quality pork luncheon meat. The sweet and sour King Prawn balls were overcooked and had shrunken prawns. The vegetarian spring rolls were mostly pastry with very little filling. Overall, the food was lacking in taste and quality despite the increased prices. I have decided that this visit will be my last, as I cannot recommend this restaurant to others. Unless there are improvements made, I believe they will continue to lose customers. I suggest finding another Chinese restaurant for a better dining experience.

The Chinese food at this restaurant is excellent! It's the best Chinese food I've had in a long time. I would recommend it to anyone in the area. The prices are reasonable and the food is amazing.

This is a very nice Chinese very busy don’t do delivery which is a shame. Food is tasty. Quick to order nice little extras if you order over certain amounts friendly staff fairly priced.
