My sisters and I craved good Chinese food and Lotus Asian Grill did not disappoint! Everything was delicious! The wonton soup is probably the heartiest I've had in a long time. When in the area again- I plan to revisit. As a matter of fact- I think my sisters returned and didn't tell me initially. Anyway- it's a must try! read more

We've been here multiple times. Service always good, and food comes out super hot so you know just made. They have happy hour for beer/wine all the time, hard to say no to a $3 sapporo or asahi. Started w veggie egg rolls Garlic noodles included w dinner went well with our entrees. We like the spicy eggplant and spicy crispy orange chicken, though both could have been much spicier. The fish in black bean sauce was well cooked. Enjoyed it and would recommend. read more

I'm so glad we gave Lotus a try! And we've been back since too. This spot seems like a hidden gem. On both visits there weren't too many customers. That meant prompt service and very freshly cooked food. The owner and the host/waitress are super friendly. The menu consists of traditional Cantonese favorites. I'm personally addicted to the the black pepper beef. A couple of notes: our meal came with complimentary garlic noodles but I had already ordered a lot of dishes including beef chow fun. We ended up with plenty of leftovers for another meal. The other note and maybe why some haven't tried Lotus is its location right on pch. Parking along that stretch sucks & I noticed the other restaurants nearby pretty empty. Despite the parking this place is legit! read more

Lotus Asian Grill - $3 happy hour - Asian Fusion Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

We had gone to W's China Bistro years before and enjoyed it but never tried Lotus until last night and we are so glad we did! Our usual not-so-usual go-to for Chinese in the South Bay had been Seashore at Calle Mayor and PCH but I remembered the food being somewhat bland on the last visit several months back. We have also enjoyed Lunasia (for Dim Sum) and Ruiji farther east on PCH but it has been a long time (at least for Ruiji) and the reviews and pictures for Lotus looked really good. I also liked the All-Day Happy Hour! $3 house wines, beer and hot sake as well as the complimentary (and delicious) garlic noodles with $50 purchase ($11.95 value). We ordered the Crispy Crabmeat Cream Cheese Wontons ($10), Spicy Orange Crispy Chicken ($21.95), Kung Pao Chicken ($21.95), Sweet and Sour Pork ($20.95), Beef with Broccoli ($20.95), Mongolian Beef ($21.95) and Crispy Honey Shrimp ($25.95). Yeah, the prices, I know, but again the All-Day Happy Hour and the free noods! The food was a hit...everything was great, fresh ingredients, packed with flavor. The Crispy Chicken wasn't spicy so don't worry if that's not your jam...the Mongolian Beef was probably my favorite and the crispy honey shrimp was lightly fried "to perfection". I hate that phrase but it is appropriate here, truly. Service was excellent. The food came out very quickly and our server was fantastic. It was my 87 year old Mom's birthday and they brought out a cheesecake and candle for her too. We did have tons of left-overs so it will go a longer way which helps with the cost. HIGHLY RECOMMEND; they've definitely earned the top Chinese spot for me. read more

Lotus Garden I believe used to be the location of the "W's China Bistro" (and I think I saw some branded "W" monograms still remaining here). I don't know what happened to "W's, but that used to be a good spot and had a sister-restaurant I believe under a different name that also closed down in the South Bay, years ago. Lotus Grill Chinese might even be by the same original owners or management as W's. It's a good restaurant with attentive fast and friendly service. It's best as a venue for "Chinese Family Style" dining where you can share different entree dishes together for diverse tasty flavors. There's only a half dozen or so good authentic quality Chinese restaurants that serve Cantonese comfort food dishes in the South Bay, and this is one of 'em I'd recommend. We had 5 people with kids and it's a perfect number, but of course, "the more, the merrier" and you can plan on ordering an avg of 1 entree dish per person to share, so 5 people should order 5 dishes roughly (and you can always either add more during dining or order more and take home leftovers to-go). The popular dishes at the table were the Orange Chicken, Crispy Salt-Pepper Chicken, Broccoli Chicken, and Honey Walnut Shrimp. Currently as of March 2026, if you order $50 or more (and that's basically 2-3 entrees) you get a "FREE" order of the Garlic Noodles, and it's a full-sized sharable portion too. read more

We recently visited Lotus Asian Grill for lunch with a group of five, and it turned out to be a wonderful dining experience. The lunch special was definitely the highlight. Each meal came with a main dish, salad, soup, and rice, making it both satisfying and great value. Every dish we tried was delicious. Our favorites included the Black Pepper Filet Mignon, Sweet and Sour Pork, Sautéed Mixed Vegetables, and the flavorful Kung Pao Threesome. Since it was our first visit, we didn't realize how generous the portions were. We ended up ordering a couple of extra dishes--Ma Po Tofu and Spicy Garlic Eggplant--which were also excellent, but definitely more food than we expected! The service was impressive, with attentive and friendly staff who made the experience even more enjoyable. We also appreciated the modern, clean atmosphere, which made the restaurant feel comfortable and welcoming. Overall, it was a fantastic lunch, and the combination of great food, generous portions, and a pleasant environment definitely encourages us to come back again. Highly recommended! read more

First time dinning at Lotus Asian Grill. Great service and very nice ambiance. The restaurant is also immaculate! We wanted to try everything and ordered several dishes to try. It should be noted that the portion sizes are VERY generous. Therefore, you will likely take food home. 1. Garlic and soy Brussels sprouts, which were roasted to perfection with large chunks of roasted garlic everywhere. Very flavorful and cooked to perfection. 2. Kung Pao Beef: Lots of tender slices of beef with mixed vegetables, peanuts and roasted red chilies. Absolutely fantastic! 3. Salt and Pepper Crispy Chicken: very tender white meat chicken battered and fried (similar coating to orange chicken). Light salty & peppery sauce loaded with lots of green onions and roasted red peppers. This dish did NOT disappoint!! 4. Garlic Noodles: Lotus is running a special where if you order $50 or more, they include a heaping bowl of garlic noodles. They were SPECTACULAR!! Garlicky with a slight smoky flavor. Regardless if you spend $50, this is a must order!! Tip: Lotus has a membership program, where you can earn reward points for every dollar you spend. You also get a $5 off just for signing up. In conclusion, great food and service! read more

We went for lunch as they have a terrific menu with very reasonable prices. Lunch includes soup,salad and entree. Hubby wasn't feeling well so he ordered hot and sour soup which he loved. I'm not a soup lover so I ordered double salad (it was a ver generous portion and the dressing is delicious) and king pao shrimp. The sauce on this dish has a slight kick to it and has that satisfying umami flavor. Lots of shrimp and veggies. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Wonderful place. read more

As a South Bay resident who has been patronage this location when it was W for many years with the Chong family. Devastated, they decided to close down because this has been the community's family restaurant, aka our kitchen lol. We are pleased to find that Lotus Asian Grill has taken over! The food is delicious and the service is friendly and good. The food were all pretty delicious. Our favorite dishes were the fillet mignon cubes, walnut shrimp, and the eggplant. The Hong Kong crispy garlic lobster was pretty authentic too! Parking lot in the back of the restaurant. read more

We loved the former upscale Chinese restaurant in this space and noted that Lotus sprung up in its place so we decided to give it a try, with the understanding that they are serving Fusion. Private parking lot in the back of the restaurant. Easy to park. Greeted by the hostess and seated right away with menus. The menu was a single sheet of paper. Interesting for a place with pricing commensurate with what you might expect from an upscale restaurant. Cloth napkins, and disposable chopsticks - another surprise. They do serve alcohol but we didn't get a wine menu, so we didn't order any. The servings were decently sized. I found the chicken lettuce cups and the spicy eggplant to be overly salty and saucy- kind of heavy. The kobucha tempura was deep fried, not the light tempura breading that you find on typical tempura. The Singapore noodles were very good and the complimentary garlic noodles were a nice touch. I'm extraordinarily picky about fortune cookies. These were definitely stale and had that old package smell to them. Also closing time -- the kitchen closes 30 minutes before their stated closing time so plan to go early. read more

Walked in and was seated right away in a booth. Very comfortable booth by the way. The ambience of the restaurant is nice lightly dimmed with TV so you can watch sports games. Also, there is calming music playing while you dine. The staff at this restaurant is very friendly. For lunch, I had the sautéed vegetables and added tofu. I asked the waitress for this dish to be made special for me and it tasted delicious. The presentation and the food is very good and I recommend this dish.

Lotus Asian Grill - Michael Russell with sautéed vegetables and tofu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

This was my first time dining here. I brought two guests who both wanted Chinese food for dinner. When we arrived at 6:15 pm on a Tuesday night I thought the restaurant was closed. Then I noticed one table was occupied. The hostess showed us to our seats and we all commented to each other that she had a bad attitude. Not long thereafter the waiter arrived and took out orders. Little did we know he'd rarely come back to check on us and offer (for example) to refill my glass of hot tea. We ordered wonton soup and hot & sour soup to start. I found the wonton soup to be rather ordinary and lacking in flavor. It wasn't bad - just plain and simple. My guest had the hot and sour soup and gave up after half as it as simple too spicy. We then ordered White Fish Filet in Black Bean Sauce, Shrimp in Lobster Sauce, Kung Pao Chicken and bowls of Steamed White Rice. We were provided with a complimentary, Wok-Stirred Garlic Noodles special. The King Pau Chicken was inedible. It was so spicy none of us could eat it so we took it to go - not to eat but to give to the nearest homeless person (whom we four on the way home). The Shrimp on Lobster Sauce was especially good and enough to share to all of us. It wasn't highlight of our meal. The White Fish Filet in Black Bean Sauce was pretty good with a rich flavor. We also shared the dish and it was a good addition to our meal. Definitely not extraordinary. Service, however, was terrible. I'd call it no service. It's not like the waiter was busy as most tables were unoccupied. When he did make a visit to our table I was long overdue for a tea refill and his main reason for coming over was to clear our dishes. One issue of concern is one server was preparing a clean table and dropped all the napkins and silverware on floor (which spread everywhere). Maybe he didn't notice I was watching but he casually placed the napkins and utensils on the table for the next guest. I wish he had just pretended to bring out clean items. Prices were reasonable but inconsistent with the lack of service. At one point one of my guests uttered, "I guess he quit and went home." So while I can't recommend this restaurant I'm sure others have had good and poor experiences. It's up to the individual. Parking was terrible. We had to park on the street on a steep hill about a block away. It wasn't that far considering there are numerous other restaurants side by side at that location read more

Always had great service and very tasty food. Nice for a small get-together with family. Highly recommend.

Postmated it. Overall I like this place. Better than most Chinese restaurants I have tried in the South Bay. My only complaint is that I can't figure out how to get chili oil with my order.

I've given this restaurant 4 tries, I keep praying that it'll get better. It does not. Here's what my $75 got me...The crispy orange chicken is soggy with not one iota of crispiness, the garlic noodles are overcooked and stuck together in a glob, edamame has a weird off taste I'm guessing it is old. The Kung pow chicken has squash and corn in it?! And the chicken is sliced so thin you can't tell the difference between it and an onion piece. The quality of the meat and both dishes was far less than average. Unacceptable actually. Like I said, this is my fourth time and I keep hoping and praying it gets better, it only gets worse. read more

I guess we haven't been back here for a while. It is a little outside our regular dining area and the parking is confusing, although we were able to get a spot right on the street. However, it was worth it! We had the Special Hong Kong Garlic Lobster, Chicken Fried Rice, Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, Garlic Noodles, and Hot and Sour Soup. The service was fast and friendly. The food was uniformly great. The soup was excellent as was the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. The Fried Rice was good, although I wish they had BBQ Pork Fried Rice, but that is not to be. In short, I upped my rating and we'll be back in less than 2 years. read more

Lotus Asian Grill - 3/1/26 lunch. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

We went to this wonderful Asian fusion restaurant on Christmas Eve and had a great experience. The restaurant was packed with people celebrating the holidays but the person at the front desk still got us into our booth at the time of our reservation. From there our server did an excellent job taking our order and getting our food to us promptly even though they were very busy. The feeling of the restaurant is comfortable and contemporary with nice booths as well as large tables for bigger groups of people. The accommodations would make it easy to meet friends here for a celebration or gathering. We also enjoyed the food so much!! The chicken lettuce cups had a very tasty sauce. The Mongolian Beef and Pad Thai were highlights as well. We plan on coming back to this lovely restaurant!! read more

I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food, however this food was pretty good. We went for lunch and you get a large bowl of salad with a delicious dressing as well as a hot and sour soup that was also very delicious. We ordered the Kung Pao shrimp and the filet mignon pepper beef. Both were generous portions and delicious. The only thing that threw me is we wanted to order the honey shrimp but we wanted it spicy. The gentleman taking our order said that honey and spice don't go well together yet isn't everything hot honey the rage right now? Not sure why he couldn't make it spicy but it's OK because the Kung Pao was good however he described it as spicy and it was far from spicy. I think part of the problem is when you are Caucasian they don't think you can handle spice but overall the flavors were great and I loved that the vegetables were still slightly crunchy and tasted so fresh. read more

Honestly, thought the food was pretty good until we discovered that they use MSG in basically everything they make. I know it's common for this type of cuisine, but I just think good restaurants don't need it. Our own fault for not asking before we ordered. I simply hope this review serves as encouragement towards ditching the MSG and making their food with whole ingredients and no nasty additives. read more

This is my fifth time here and each time seems better and better. The food is above excellent and the prices are so reasonable. Tonight we had the garlic soy edename which was yummy and then the spicy seafood soup which was loaded with fish and shellfish. We moved on to shrimp with vegetables which was so good. They use the highest quality of vegetables and the chef does not overcook them. We received garlic noodles comp as we ordered $50 worth of food. I enjoyed a glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc for $10. Please give this fine restaurant a try. You will not regret it. Prices are very reasonable and food is scrumptious. read more

Meaning to update for awhile: After the next day, not sure if they put MSG (I think so and probably a lot!) or it's just very high sodium usage... I had extreme headaches and the leftover was just too salty, had to throw it away. I took a star off. My kid and I probably won't go back. Too bad, I really liked China Bistro, miss that place. Hard to find good Chinese food in South Bay, sad... I had high hopes. read more

Great Chinese food!!!! My favorite and Go To place for great taste and service. Highly recommended.

Had an early dinner here after a friend's referral. The hostess and waiter were quick and attentive. We thought the food was very good, Shared a couple of appetizers, and the entrees were very good with quite a bit to take home. A comfortable booth and pleasant ambiance made it a for certain spot to return to. read more

My family and I were heartbroken when W's--Lotus' predecessor--permanently shut its doors. When Lotus popped up, we had concerns that the food was going to be completely different and not maintain the quality that was previously provided in regards to the food and service, but when we first visited, we were very pleased to say the least. The food was delicious, service was very nice and quick, and it seemed easy to get a table, with or without a reservation. The lighting dims as the daylight goes, creating a much more intimate and comfortable ambiance! My only complaint is more of a personal problem (completely my fault) where I left something behind during our most recent visit at the restaurant, and it has been difficult to communicate with and resolve the situation with management/the owners to determine what happened to the item. Felt so bad having to go back and forth with the server as the middleman that I ultimately gave up, as it was frustrating for the both of us to not have resolved the issue earlier. Aside from this problem, my family and I are very happy with the outcome of this restaurant, and we are pleased to continue and support this business for as long as we had supported W's. Huge kudos to the server assisting me with my problem as well! read more

My friends and I decided to stop by Lotus for dinner after spending a whole day at the beach. We were very hungry when we arrived and I was so glad that Mike greeted us and sat us down immediately. This restaurant serves authentic chinese-hongkong style cuisine. According to the waiter, the chefs are from Hongkong too. Coming from San Gabriel Valley are, I was very impressed with the quality and taste of food here. The interior was also very modern and nice with a lot of big tables that are perfect for family gatherings. Here is the list of food that we ordered: Shishito Peppers Spicy Steamed Wonton Pork Xiao Long Bao (5pcs) Steamed BBQ Pork Buns (3pcs) Young Chow Fried Rice Singapore Rice Noodles Beef Chow Fun Hong Kong Style Crispy Garlic Lobster Kung Pao Chicken Black Pepper Beef Mignon White Fish Fillet in Black Bean Sauce Crispy Honey Shrimp Spicy Garlic Eggplant I have to say my personal favorites were: Shishito Peppers, Hong Kong Style Crispy Garlic Lobster (must try!), Young Chow Fried Rice, Spicy Garlic Egglant, and Singapore Rice Noodles. There are plenty of parking spaces in the back parking lot. I highly recommend this restaurant when you're looking for a place to eat near redondo beach area. read more
