    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.

    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.

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

    Best lunches in town. The owner is usually present and always pleasant ive been coming here…read moreregularly since I was a teenager and hope to keep doing so! The inside is a bit dated, but if you know anything about the best places to eat, they dont need to be pretty, just tasty and this place hits the spot.

    **This is an update from previous review left 2 years ago**…read more This is my first time back to this establishment since I wrote a 1-star review nearly 2.5 years ago. I have to say that their food quality and quantity have gotten MUCH better. It's still americanized Chinese food so to expect 5-star dining is an unrealistic expectation. The staff is friendlier and understanding of food allergies. The to-go dishes are taller allowing for more food to be stored. My family and I ordered the General Tso combination plate, the steak low mein combo and the Szechuan chicken combo. Additionally we ordered crab Rangoons and egg rolls. The rice was cooked well, my wife thought it was a bit crunchy for her, the general tso chicken was cooked well and the flavor was good. My son did not complain about his Szechuan chicken, oh and my daughter had the sweet and sour chicken. My wife said the crab Rangoons were a bit on the sweeter side, but they satisfy the craving for them. My daughter loved the egg roll and she typically does not like egg rolls. Overall, I am impressed with the improvement in quality, appearance and quantity. They are still not my local go-to, but if we are looking for something quick and don't want to travel 35 minutes to our favorite Chinese restaurant, they have earned my business back after losing it 2.5 years ago.

    The Great Wall Augusta, ME A Buffet Experience That Requires…read moreStretchy Pants and Emotional Preparedness If you're cruising down the highway in Augusta and suddenly feel the gravitational pull of fried rice, congratulations -- you're near The Great Wall. Conveniently located close to the highway and surrounded by shops (should you need to walk off 3-5 plates afterward), this buffet fortress boasts a well-maintained parking lot and handicap accessibility. In short: easy to get to, hard to leave. Atmosphere: The Buffet Cathedral Walking inside, you're greeted by a cavernous dining room with ample natural light -- the kind that lets you clearly see the five or six buffet stations daring you to test your willpower. There's plenty of seating, so whether you arrive solo, with family, or with your competitive-eating alter ego, you'll have room to expand emotionally and physically. Staff: Swift and Smiling The staff is friendly and efficient -- masters of the silent plate swap. You'll look down mid-bite and suddenly your finished plate has vanished like a magic trick, replaced with opportunity. It's the kind of service that says, "Yes, we see you going back for thirds. We support you." Food: A Journey in Three Acts The Highlights (Return-Trip Worthy) * Fried rice: The dependable hero. Fluffy, flavorful, and generously scooped on your plastic plate. * Chicken dishes of all varieties: If it clucks, they've sautéed it, fried it, glazed it, or lovingly bathed it in sauce. Also, Chicken on a stick. Yep, just like the name suggests, it's chicken on a stick. Simple, elegant, and on a stick! * Bok choy with oyster sauce: Fresh, vibrant, and a responsible choice you can point to when explaining your plate's overall nutritional value. This is served with the traditional oyster sauce, the flavor adds to your sodium delight. * Noodle dishes galore: Lo mein, mystery mein, probably-other-mein. Carb enthusiasts, rejoice. The Mid-Light (We're Thinking About It) * Tiny crab rangoons: More "suggestion of crab rangoon" than actual rangoon, but still a crispy little detour. * Vegetarian sushi: A pleasant palate cleanser between ambitious buffet laps. * Hot and sour soup: Mushroom lovers, this one's for you. Mushroom neutral? You've been warned. * Pudding: A delightful way to end the meal and initiate the sacred post-meal "pudding process." * Fortune cookies: Slightly stale, but let's be honest -- destiny waits for no one, and this is hardly The Great Wall's fault. The No-Light Zone * Jello: Possibly a flavor not yet recognized by science. It bore the ripples of its can-shaped origin story like a badge of honor. * Peanut Butter Chicken: Do you wish you had a PB and J, but without the bread, and you substituted it with protein-packed fried chicken? Well, Cinderella, here is your missing slipper. * BoBo shrimp: A philosophical experience. Was it shrimp? Was it chicken? Was it both in a culinary identity crisis? We may never know. * Muscles: Yeah, we're in Maine, but you are likely pushing your luck with these guys. Save room for a second BoBo shrimp instead. * Egg roll: Dough-forward. Think "pizza roll that studied abroad." * Pizza: Skip this! You are at The Great Wall, not the house of Pisa. Cleanliness Overall tidy and clean -- especially impressive considering the steady flow of buffet warriors rotating through. Pro Tip * Ask for chopsticks -- they're available but not automatically deployed. * Knives are not included in the standard fork-spoon-napkin starter pack. Plan accordingly. * Hydrate throughout the meal. Tsingtao is the obvious choice, but in order to keep your sodium levels at Atlantic Ocean, and not the Dead Sea, drink water throughout the meal. Schedule a hydration and digestion window afterward. This is not a "quick bite" establishment. This is an event. Final Verdict The Great Wall in Augusta delivers what a buffet should: variety, value, and the opportunity to make questionable but memorable food decisions. Come hungry. Leave proud (and slightly horizontal).

    Big selection of fresh, hot food. Waitress who brought our drinks was fantastic…read more I'm not a fan of the desserts but everything else was very flavorful. We will stop by again.
