This restaurant was in this shopping center many years ago; then it moved across the street. The…read moreplace on the other side of Leeman Hwy did what seemed like a good amount of take-out business, but it was filthy inside. We didn't want to eat there even though we like their pansit Tagalog. We were pleased when we saw their move back to the shopping center. The current location is clean and bright with giant photos of bamboo on the walls. The pansit Tagalog is very good (even better with a squeeze of lemon juice). We have also tried the beef lo mien and several other dishes that were all good. The boneless ribs are better than you get most places around here. The chicken wings are good. The fried rice has nothing in it, but it is a good vehicle for duck sauce. The egg rolls are an abomination. Burnt tubes oozing grease. Avoid the egg rolls, which is hard to do since they accompany many of the plate offerings. They charge $1.50 for substitutions, so our answer is to simply throw away the egg rolls.

What previously was a run down restaurant (different owners), has now been transformed into a beautiful, clean, exceptional dining space! I urge everyone to check out Lotus!

The produce can be hit or miss, but the mushrooms are always prime. Same with the fresh herbs. Massive lengths of garlic chives, absolute trees worth of mint, and lots of other weird and delicious leaves of various sorts. I was able to find plenty of pre-chopped frozen lemongrass, which I now will only buy frozen, becuase it's so fresh tasting and not as much of a pain to prepare. I made a soup where I used a full half cup of the stuff, which is never something I'd have done if I had to chop that by hand! Half the items don't have a price sticker or a sign that states the prices, but when you get to the register, they're happy to do a price check for you so that you know what you're paying. I'm assuming that with such a small physical space, and that variety of stuff, it's hard to constantly keep on top of prices on the shelves. If the cashier were annoyed at being asked the price, I'd not shop here, but I've always had them be happy to tell us the prices with no issues. Seriously though the selection is insane. There's stuff that I'd never imagine I can find easily in New England, but it's right there on the shelf. The noodle variety is great, with plenty of gluten free noodles for those who need it. Plenty of dried mushrooms and tea too!

We devoured the chicken lumpia (spring rolls), the pancit bihon (Filipino noodles), and the Filipino curry dish (which was delicious). The yakitori skewers were also tasty for lunch. Overall, we would visit this place again! It was just a delightful surprise in Bridgton, ME. Who knew that you could find awesome Filipino food in the Lakes region of Maine?
