The Lotus Blossom offered unit the mill American Chinese food. We were hastily seated. The full staff (waitress, bar tender, and one of the cooks were cordial, and welcoming. The food came out within 5 minutes of ordering. We ordered the combination plate of General Tso chicken, fried rice, and crab Rangoons; and the sesame chicken, fried rice and an egg roll. The food was hot and the portions were plentiful. Oddly enough the sesame chicken and general's tso chicken tasted the same. They both lacked flavor and seasoning. The facility was clean and there was plenty of day drinking going on at 11:30am! Not a bad place to go if you want food served fast and a strong drink on hand. read more

Terrific Asian restaurant. Family friendly. Full bar with many speciality drinks. Amazing menu with tons of options. We asked for family style and it was a great way to taste more choices. Our group loved the rice noodles with shrimp, chicken, and spiced pork; beef with brocholi; chicken with with mushrooms; spring rolls; pork dumplings; and sechzhan beef. I can attest to a great bloody mary. Service was awesome. Seated quickly. Drinks ordered and delivered in under 5 minutes. Waitress checked on us often. Plenty of parking. Sorry no food pics, I will need to return soon to document. read more

Lotus Blossom - Sesame Chicken, Chicken wing & Pork fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Farmington, Maine

Have passed this restaurant many, many times in the last 20+ years and have never been. Decided to finally give it a go. Sunday afternoon for lunch. We were greeted and sat immediately and shortly after greeted by the waitress. Menus dropped and drink order taken. So far, so good. Typical Chinese food menu with nothing spectacular to stand apart. Decors was plain and simple with multiple life plan which enjoyed. We ordered off the luncheon special menu. It didn't take that long for the food to come to us surprisingly with only one waitress working and a bartender/hostess. Food wasn't great. Husbands beef teriyaki was tough and over cooked, fried rice was so brown you could barely identify the pork pieces. Chicken and broccoli was super salty but with the rice able to eat most of. Egg rolls were very good. We are used to Portland and the many Chinese restaurants where in the Western mountains there are slim pickings. Many friends come me here as it's better then the other Chinese restaurant in town. We will not be back because the food was too salty, meat over cooked, and rice was nothing to write home about. read more

For those unfamiliar with Chinese establishments in Maine, 99% of them are americanized with a focus more on quantity to fill your bellies up. If you are looking for a "True" Chinese cuisine you will have to do some research and likely travel a good ways to find one. Lotus Blossom, I recently learned, is a Farmington staple located right next to the Walmart. While some see it as too americanized, the locals love this stop for both take out and dine in. As I write this review, I have now experienced their dine-in twice and I love it. Their portion sizes are HUGE and enough to give you at least two meals if you walk in hungry. The offer the pu-pu for two in one of those bamboo bowls with the little tiki flame in the middle to heat up some of the items if you so choose (it arrives hot). My go-to is always the General Tso chicken and theirs is good, just a bit more on the americanized side. It's battered chicken with what appears to be their orange sauce with some chilis added in. I am not complaining because I ate half of it before taking the remaining home. Check out the pictures I posted and you will see that most people (if not all) walk away with leftover. The decor inside is simplistic, but the staff is VERY friendly. The owners are very nice and check on you at your table as well. If you love the americanized Chinese meal with portions larger than your stomach and you like leftovers, take the time to check Lotus Blossom out in Farmington especially if you are at the Walmart next door. read more

Worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. I ordered three things . They messed my order up and gave me a wrong item . The beef teriyaki was tough with no taste . read more

The food is great here. Waitresses are always friendly and welcoming. Thank you for providing great food everytime.

i'm a college student so getting take out was a reward. they messed up my order and gave me chow main instead of lo main. they were so rude to me. the food was flavorless and my chicken was rock hard. there was no parking. i had to park at a sketchy hotel. they also tried to say they wouldn't take a visa card. such liars! don't get food from here. 1000% don't recommend read more

Huge portions but no flavor! Teriyaki chicken was very over cooked and fried rice is super dark so you can't see what's in it. The sauce on the General Tso and the orange chicken was exactly the same yet didn't taste like either ordered dish. Service is superb even though the food wasn't read more

No matter how hungry you are - keep driving. the food was awful. general tso chicken was flavorless with a sweet and sour type sauce. Crab Rangoon had no crab or crab flavoring, just filled with cream cheese. I don't know what was going on with the pork fried rice. It looked like they boiled it in soy sauce, but instead tasted like molasses. Chicken teriyaki was so hard and salty it sounded like high heels on hardwood floors when we tapped it on plate as a demonstration for the manager. I've eaten plenty of bad Chinese food. This slop takes the cake for worst ever. Even the water like chemicals. Waitstaff was friendly. read more

I really enjoyed this place. The food was delicious. The service was outstanding. The restaurant was clean. I will definitely be going back for dinner again. read more

This place is so Americanized, it shouldn't be classified as Chinese food. All our food was bland. Dumpling dough was too thick and the dumplings were very dry. The crab Rangoon was nasty. no one at our table wanted to finish the food or take the leftovers with us. very disappointing experience! read more

Hands-down my favorite local spot. Quick, cheap, and always the best service. Huge servings, and super easy take-out.

Only one star and that was for the server. She was very attentive and was quick with taking the order and getting the drinks. I was expecting pretty good food after the service I received but instead I got this: Egg drop soup - egg whites were barely cooked and it looked like a chopped up poached egg was thrown in. General Tso Chicken - This was an extremely sweet sauce with a few red pepper flakes thrown in. The chicken was under cooked. Crab Rangoon- they were a folded in half and stuffed with nothing but imitation crab. I don't mind a little extra crab in them, but when it's 100% imitation it was disgusting. And not to mention the sweet and sour that came out with it was way worse. It was some orange/brown colored sauce that I couldn't even tell you what it tasted like. All in all, all I had was a 1/4 of the soup and maybe 3 bites of my meal before paying just to get out of there. Don't waste your money here. read more

The food was hot and fresh. The owner walks around to ensure customer satisfaction and the place is spotless. I would recommend this Chinese restaurant. read more

This was the best Chinese I have consumed since nam. The lady serving was so hot and the food was even hotter. I had a blast here and hope to come again. read more

It has been a while since I have gone to Lotus Blossom, but I was in the area and felt like chinese food. I should of gone for pizza...... The portions were good, but all the main dishes I ordered were bland. The pork lo mein, and pork egg foo young could of been the same dish for all the taste it had. The egg foo young had hardly any meat in it or anything else that was supposed to go into it. The brown gravy that came with it, totally tasteless. The singapore noodles that were supposed to be spicy? Absolutely nothing. No spiciness or hint of really any other spices. Really disappointed..... This was an order to go and eat at home or I would of said something at the restaurant. read more

Pass! Our group ordered two plates of General Tso's chicken and both came out undercooked. Raw chicken! I realized too late and 12 hours later I was suffering in the bathroom, for five hours. Adding insult to injury, the food was not even good. The General Tso's was yellow and oddly sweet, the fried rice was super dark with an indeterminate bitterness, and I think they used pie crust for their crab rangoon wrappers. You cannot pay me enough money to eat their food again. read more

Best Chinese food in the area! Always fresh and fast, wait staff is very friendly, and take out is very efficient during these hard COVID times. read more

Waited an hour to get food that made us all sick. Told them we got sick and didn't get our money back for it. Service wasn't great and the waitress didn't come back once. We asked for more duck sauce and didn't get more. It was terrible. read more

Great food and service. Ordered the pupu platter and was not disappointed! Cool fountain as well

Had orange chicken for lunch. The taste was great. The portion was to big for. I took the rest home for later and ask for more orange souce. That was no problem. read more

Food here is really good. The only complaint that I have is that the crab Rangoon were not cooked enough on our most recent visit. Generally they are cooked well. read more

I hadn't been here since it was the Fortune Fountain. The prices threw me off a bit at first but then I saw the portions. Much more food for the price than some places I've been used to. The shrimp fried rice tasted burnt and Darcy, our server, was extremely gracious and brought us a fresh order. Unfortunately; this one was worse and they took it off my bill. All that aside, the food was hot and the service was fantastic. We waited only about 10 minutes for our food as there wasn't a huge crowd. All in all, I would visit again. read more

Shitty good, everything was cold and didn't even get a refund. Beef lo mein was very nasty. Will never eat there again

The fried rice is dark! I'm from Texas and the Chinese food there is really good and out of all the places I've been I've never seen or ate any Chinese this bad before! Orange chicken was uncooked and egg roll was terrible as well! Egg drop soup had not taste to it really! And my waitress was no where to be found after I ordered my food and she brought it out. Just by far bad experience here.DO NOT EAT HERE read more

Would give no star if I could was by far the worst place I have been or got food from and I have been all over from Maine to Florida and everywhere in between Chinese is one of the family favorites and is usually our go to when we do not want to cook not only was the food horrible but the place looked like a dive bar and they did not even take or make our order right I asked for spicy they made it sweet and their crab Rangoon were the worst I have ever had and I have had my share that I do not care for but I could not even Finnish one and after calling to let the owner know he was very rude and argumentative did not take responsibility whatsoever instead argued saying that I wasn't saying something was specifically wrong with the food but he didn't want to listen or maybe didn't want to hear my complaint because I was very clear on what was wrong this was my first time there and will not go back would not recommend we are new to the neighborhood so was looking for our go to spot but definitely didn't find it here if they have good reviews it must be from their friends family or workers extremely dissatisfied all around read more

the waiter seemed to be on a bunch of drugs an didn't know what was going the food was so bad I couldn't even eat it tasted like bad chemicals like it was out of date or freezer burnt or some thing to top it all off after I paid my fortune cookie had nothing in it what no fortune now this will be the last time I go here read more
