excellent food, nice and hot even after getting it home. fast service, a little expensive but worth it.

My family has been getting our Chinese food gin this restaurant ever since I was a little boy. All I can say is the people ruining and working for this business are amazing people and they are passionate about what they do! The service is always amazing I always share a smile and laugh with the sweet lady that takes my order! It feels like I'm apart of their family when I so come and grab my Chinese food. The beef Lo-mein, won ton soup, and crab cheese rangoons are my personal favorites, you cannot go wrong with those three classics! There are a handful of of chairs that you can sit down and eat at in the restaurant but there isn't much space, and it definitely makes up with how the food is prepared and how it tastes! read more

I found a roach in my fried rice from Chinese Kitchen Lotus. I just want to advise people to be careful. The experience was really unpleasant, and the kitchen appeared very dirty. I'm honestly disappointed and hope they improve their cleanliness and food safety standards. read more

Ruthless lady here! I've been coming here for years and never had a problem but tonight but tonight she must've been looking out or something. She asked me why I was taking forever in my vehicle. I mention the situation with my mom and she starts laughing about it. I thought I was gonna come in for a quick and easy visit to pick up food go home and have dinner. But she just ruined my night and I end up asking for a refund. I'm not sure if I'll be coming back here if anything it'll be a while..... read more

First time and trust me the last. I will order take out from there the food was the worst I ever had it all went in the trash the Cashew Chicken had mire celery then chicken couldn't find the chicken it was not like the picture was I had no string beans or corn and maybe 5 very small pieces of chicken that didn't even look like chicken The 2 egg rolls was deep fried and so greasy it was disgusting the bill was $21.48 But my card was charged $32.00 I really got turned off on Chinese Food All of that food went into trash because I'm a senior and dont drive. Maybe some people that go to that place had better luck then I did. Lotus Chinese Kitchen 84th and Pecos Federal Heights Co read more

Really great takeout experience here. I saw that people endorsed this place as the best Chinese food they've had in Colorado so it felt like a no brainer when we had the craving! The lo mein wasn't the best in our opinion (kind of bland), but we loved the egg rolls, Mongolian beef, and sesame chicken! Would definitely get again. read more

Driven past here numerous times and never noticed this restaurant. This really bums me out because I loved the food and the service. I wish I had tried here sooner. The food was all excellent. We dined at the restaurant and they seemed to have a ton of to-go orders. But we had our food probably in 5-10 minutes after ordering. The Sesame chicken had a fantastic crisp to it. The egg rolls were massive which I was not ready for but they were really good. Crab Rangoon was as I expected, no better, no worse. My wife ordered the chicken with garlic sauce and I got to try it and it was super good, crispy, but heavy. Those pieces of chicken definitely made us full really quick. The service was superb though. We were there with our 4 year old and before we even exchanged words the guy at the counter grabbed some fortune cookies for my son who was ecstatic about it. I just love the forethought the guy at the counter had to put a smile on my son's face. That gesture is the best example I can give at the hospitality this restaurant provides. The sitting area is simple and gets the job done but it would be awesome if they got some booths in the future because we would love to dine there again! read more

We were very excited to eat here because we have been in Colorado for over 3 months now and haven't had any Asian food since arriving. Oh man, this place was a flop. We arrived home with our bag full of food and saw sauce swimming at the bottom of the bag... very disappointing. I had to open the bag over the sink and dump it out. Oh well, I was still excited. Went to open the food, we had one item of three items right. We ordered Mongolian beef and they gave us chicken. It was fine, just not what we ordered & I was really excited for Mongolian beef. We also ordered chow mein, but they sent us home with a box full of soggy cabbage. We tried calling to see how they would correct the situation. They basically told us that's what you ordered and refused to do anything about it. Sad place. Never returning. read more

Two words: egg rolls! Can't beat them, best I've ever had. Other stuff is good, too. read more

Come for the garlic chicken..... stay for the "cabbage bomb" eggrolls! My hubby has been coming here forever - and being asian, I am picky about chinese food. Lotus is quick, tasty, and they don't skimp on the good ingredients! I ordered chicken and vegetables.... and it was way more chicken than vegetables! read more

I was so disappointed when I got my food. Normally the food is wonderful.. this time.. FULL OF GREASE!!!! I ordered sweet and sour chicken, one it was fried way too long and you can tell it was fried in old grease because grease was EVERYWHERE! I had to throw majority of it away! Word of advice, don't order after 7 because 9 outta 10 times, you're going to be dealing with greasy food. What a waste. read more

This place is the best "hole in the wall" you'll ever find for Chinese food, my family has been coming here over 20years and we absolutely love this place, service is always timely & friendly .! The egg rolls are probably one of the best things they have! We love the garlic chicken and combination fried rice.! I reside in San Diego now but every time I'm home I make it a point to eat here! There's no other place like it! We love you lotus! read more

This place has bomb sesame chicken, garlic chicken, sweet and sour chicken. Sesame and Sweet/sour are breading heavy, but it's delicious. The fried rice that comes with the combos is just okay. The egg roll is gigantic ball of cabbage pork and rice paper. Love it. The cream cheese wontons are awesome too. 4.5 read more

Today was my first experience here. I was really impressed at the generous portions, and if you ever wanted a spring roll of the size of a croissant, this is your place! It was delicious, and really enjoyed the rest of the dishes: one is plenty for two and possibly three meals depending on how hungry you are. PS: I appreciated their COVID sanitation measures: they take only phone orders, only one customer can enter at a time, masks are required, offer hand sanitizer, and use plastic to keep their kitchen separated from their customers. read more

Lotus Chinese Restaurant - Mix of four dishes, two half spring rolls (a regular one, and another the size of a croissant!) - Chinese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

With six tiny tables in a cramped lobby, this is a bustling takeout operation. My favorite part of waiting for the order was the door chime that was playing nonstop as people came and went. I know I am not alone in my sentiment. As many others have mentioned, they use an egg roll wrapper here as opposed to a spring roll wrapper. This is rare in Colorado. Its shape resembles something round rather than oblong. The filling is rather greasy with no discernible pork flavor and lacks crisp. They must be frying at too low of a temperature. I will stick to making egg rolls at home. The sesame chicken sauce was less sweet than other renditions around town, which is a welcome relief. The battered pieces are fried in advance as you can see in a holding tray behind the counter which indicates that they sell a heck of a lot of this stuff. There is way too much batter that was unpleasant to consume as the batter layer is overly fried with minimal protein. I wouldn't opt for anything fried or battered here again. They must be just opening frozen bags of this stuff and popping it in the fryer as there was no evidence of a battering station in the open kitchen. The stir fry was more successful. The beef with broccoli had more flavor than just a soy sauce concoction. The beef was velveted and the broccoli was crisp tender, which I appreciated very much. If I return, I'd opt for a stir fry with vegetables, no egg roll. Tip: The prices for ordering online are ~$1-$3 more per item so just order onsite if you are picking up anyway. read more

Food was fantastic and the folks that work there were friendly. Small interior but don't let that deter you!

Best Chinese food in Colorado!! Nice and fresh every time. Never disappoints!! And has great service and little wait time

The BEST Asian food place in the Denver area. Fastest service and always correct on the orders. Serving sizes are more than you could hope for. Never leaves you wanting more. read more

The wait was super minimal at this "hole in the wall" location. We walked in and ordered and about 8 minutes later we were leaving with some Sesame Chicken, Beef & Broccoli, and some Lo Mein. It was decent. Not THE best Chinese food I've ever had. That goes to a place I ate at a few years back and can not remember the name of it. But this place is probably one of the best places in the area. Staff is really friendly as well. My chicken tasted good. It was whole pieces of breast meat, not cheap cuts. Very appreciated. The Beef & Broccoli was better than the Sesame Chicken and I am not a fan of Lo Mein to begin with so I did not try it. My girlfriend loved it though. The Egg Rolls here aren't even Egg Rolls. They're like - the size and shape of your fist but delicious. We'll come back for sure. It's one of the better establishments in the area for Chinese food. read more

My review is strictly for the egg rolls lol. I'm a total egg roll nazi and had been on the hunt for big fat cabbage filled egg rolls. Lotus not only delivered on that but they honestly looked like baseballs! They're not exactly wrapped like a traditional egg roll. They have more of the shape of a ball for sure. Regardless, they were the best damn egg rolls I've had since moving to Colorado! read more

This place has been here forever and they have the best chicken lomein and garlic chicken! I've always asked for my lomein to be spicy and they make it perfect!! read more

Interesting hole in the wall. Probably not the healthiest place if you're looking for something on a calorie budget. Their small portions are more than enough though they give you a ton of meat and 1/4 cup of rice - very strange. The breading and sauce on their garlic chicken was pretty good actually. Staff isn't too nice but they get it out fast and i'd say for $13 it's a bit overpriced for what it is. Probably wont be back. read more

This is easily the worst fried rice I've had in a very long time. The rice itself is flavourless which shouldn't be possible when you have to cook it within certain spices and sauces... The Shrimp also has no flavor beyond its default. Yes they do give you a substantial amount of food but it is not worth the money. I should have taken a picture before I threw away my food but I was that disappointed. I guess those negative reviews were correct... this is sad. read more

Cashew chicken combo--egg roll was EXTREMELY greasy and inedible, cabbage inside would have been good if it wasn't drenched in the grease. Chicken seemed to have gone through a grinder with a ton of fat. Fried rice was basic but only ate that and the few veggies/cashews, which were good. read more

They were friendly, the portions are great, great price, very fast with orders. Would highly recommend

Fast, big portions, delicious, authentic. If you're looking for Chinese, this is the place! Would recommend! A+

Kinda a take out place. Little whole in the wall place, very small. Not great for dining in only 4 tables or so and concrete floors. But if you are looking for a affordable take out Chinese place this place is great. Great prices, wonderful food and fast service. Area is a little rough but don't let that stop you. I would highly recommend this place. Ate here a couple of times while wife was in Hospital. Generous portions as well!! read more

I just had the best Egg Roll in my life! Huge, very tasty and filling. Our meal was so enjoyable, this place has two new weekly customers!

Love the shrimp fried rice and lemon chicken combo. So much food is added on to your plate. Covid: I advise you call prior to arrival, as you would have to wait in your car. Overall great food, great prices, good flavor! read more

This place is in our neighborhood and always hits the spot when we are craving Chinese. I highly recommend the sesame chicken and the egg rolls are amazing! read more

4 of our orders we overcooked,and meals taste like old grease! So sad it use to be so good.

This definitely a hidden gem! You can tell the owner genuinely cares about their customers and we loved that the food was clearly homemade and not frozen! The place itself isn't fine dining but we all know that places like that make for the best meals! read more

Been going to this place for the last 20 years, and was almost amazing. Went back this Saturday, and the food was horrible. I didn't recognize anyone there, so I'm not sure if this has new owners, but the food was not the same. My wife has the sesame chicken with fried rice and got sick from the chicken. Found out after, My mom had this place the night before and got sick too. What happened? This place is just not the same, after 20 years, it's time to find a new Chinese favorite. read more

WOW. JUST WOW. First of all, let's talk about the portions. There is always MORE than enough food and I always have leftovers for work the next day. I love day old fried rice! The eggrolls are amazing as well. Hubby and I love them!!! The pan fried dumplings are delish as well! A bit on the crispier side than what I typically like but definitely not something to deter me from ordering them again and again and again! The cream cheese won-tons are good too, I just wish they had a bit more sweetness to the cream cheese, but again, nothing that will keep me from ordering them again. read more

Loved the Mongolian beef dish- had a kick. The egg rolls are so good! The orange chicken needed more flavor but it was good. I'm picky about my orange chicken. Next time I'm gonna get the Mongolian beef, egg rolls and another meat besides chicken. Much better Chinese food then others around here! read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside but this little hole in the wall serves the best Chinese food. Get the garlic chicken, you won't be disappointed. read more
