I always crave chinese food when hungover and this place hit the spot. Ordered the hibachi chicken which came with vegetables and was all extra greasy- i didnt expect anything less . A big plus from other places is their online ordering system. Was real easy to order and the food was ready on time for pick up. Thanks for being the only good place open on Christmas day in the area btw!

Lunch Specials

Have heard rave comment about this place for years and they were right. This has been on my bucket list for some time but never got around to trying till last month. Had suggest it earlier but never got around to it. It's order in and take out. Not table service and no tables to sit at. Told Valerie and Danielle to order what they wanted and I would pick up and as for myself, I would take the Mongolian Beef with Rice. They ordered the Scallion Chicken. After they ordered, i drove up and they were almost finished putting the order together and by the time I had finished, lunch was ready. Took it back to the office and we all sit down at our desks and enjoyed. Both Danielle and and Valerie enjoyed their lunch and both being light eaters had leftovers to take home or enjoy later. In my case since I am the only one who can comment on the actual cuisine, the Mongolian Beef was some of the best I have had in a long time. Cooked properly with just the exact amount of heat and good contrast in taste and texture with the other ingredients. It this was a sit down restaurant, it would be the #1 Chinese Restaurant in Statesville and surrounding areas.

Kung pao chicken lunch to go. Added broccoli.

Well I made a worry free decision to stop in here while in town for a meeting with the rave reviews. I had really high hopes for a down right GOOD Chinese food. I will say the lunch specials are priced well and you get a good bit of food but I was disappointed with the chicken quality in my Kung pao chicken. It has that chewy fatty texture to it that isn't satisfying and makes you feel like your dish had no chicken in it... just this rubber swirly substance. The rice was good and the sauce and veggies had a nice crunch and flavor. Luckily the veggies and rice was filling enough. It was made fresh and hot. I would maybe try another item here if I lived nearby to see if this one dish was a fluke but otherwise it won't be on my list of places to go when in town.

You know, I'm sitting here at midnight after watching The Crooked Man from the SyFy network…read more(enjoying these low-budget movies because actors put heart and soul into it whether good movie or not and because concepts are sometimes cool) and was thinking about Lotus. To Clarify, Lotus wasn't a character in the movie and was actually the name of the Chinese restaurant. And if there was a Lotus in the movie, I wouldn't be thinking about Lotus--unless he/she was unique and had an interesting viewpoint on life with good intentions but also loved to be bad and was sometimes misunderstood. For The Crooked Man, I gave it a 7.2 but that's on a scale for the SyFy channel--and I gave Lotus a 4.0--which would make it an eight on a 10-point scale. Therefore, the Chinese food was slightly better than the movie. 8.0 is greater than 7.2. For the Chinese food, I liked my son's meal better than my own, but both were good. I got the Scallion Chicken, which I have never had anywhere. The waiter was kind and attentive but he really wanted me to have the Scallion Chicken. I tried to move to General Tso's and explained it was my first time there and should probably go with something I know. He said, "Yes! Most people order Scallion Chicken." Alrighty then. Scallion Chicken it is! What I should have ordered was the Roast Pork Lo Mein, which was very good. But if I did that and we both had Roast Pork Lo Mein, we would only know about the Roast Pork Lo Mein and not about the Scallion Chicken, which could have been General Tso's. We both asked for no vegetables in the Fried Rice but he said it would cost extra because it was already made. So, we just stuck with whatever was in there--eggs and ... scallions. I also ordered Wonton Soup but I just realized that it never arrived, which is the biggest negative because I love Wonton Soup. If someone called me tomorrow and offered me a job to travel across the country rating Wonton Soup, I would take it. It would be a Vlog titled: Man With Spoon. Another odd thing was when they refill your water, they take your glass and come back with it. Scallion Chicken isn't too spicy but it's nice to have water. It's weird when they take it away. You're probably wondering how this was a 4. Good question. But the food was good, the service was friendly (counts the most for me), and the prices were fair. And it was a comfortable dining area. But most importantly, it was fun to have lunch with my son, and the miscommunications and interesting approaches to service felt adventurous to me. If someone were rude, that's a whole different thing, but everyone was friendly, so I'm good with it. I will also stop in one day for a Wonton Soup.

Came here with 4 other people on a Sunday evening. We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. Nice…read moreand quiet little place that wasn't busy at all. We ordered krab rangoon and chicken teriyaki sticks for appetizers which were both fantastic. Their krab rangoon had a LOT of cream cheese. Most places skimp out and you get mostly just fried wonton with no filling. The teriyaki chicken was crispy and juicy. For entrees we got shrimp mei fun which was good, but a bit salty. We got the crispy scallion chicken which was flavorful, crispy and saucy. We also had the crispy orange beef which I wish was a bit crispier and less saucy, I think too much sauce made it soggy, but had a nice orange flavor and wasn't super spicy. We also had the beef with ginger and oyster sauce which was also salty, but the beef was tender. Last but not least we had shrimp lo mein, which tasted like your standard lo mein. Nice amount of shrimp and even took home leftovers as it was a large portion. A few of us would've loved to upgrade to pork fried rice with our meals instead of the standard white rice, but a $3 upcharge seemed a bit steep. 3 dishes came with soup, and they also give you duck sauce and crispy wontons for the table when first seated. The wontons were oily and tasted a bit stale. With 2 appetizers, 4 entrees and 2 soft drinks our total came to around $110 which isn't too bad. Around $20 a person. I wouldn't say I'm dying to come back to this restaurant, but if you need a Chinese food fix, this is a good place to go.
