Fantastic service! They're incredibly fast and friendly, even when they're busy. They always make you feel important and provide impeccable service. And let's not forget the food! Everything is fresh, delicious, and arrives quickly. It's rare to find both quality and speed in a restaurant, but this place truly delivers on both fronts. I was in a rush before an appointment and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. The moment I arrived, I was immediately impressed by the quality of the service. Nathan & Lori embody what customer service should be -- truly the dream team. Even with their speed and efficiency, you still feel like a person here, not just another task. In my experience, that feeling came directly from them. I will without a doubt be returning... umm, tomorrow ;)! Food recommendation: absolutely get the Hot & Sour soup. If you're not opposed to bold flavors coming together into the perfect comfort food you can sip on... trust me, you won't regret it! Comfortable space from some beautiful dishes and all around delight. Hidden in a strip plaza, behind its shade of Jade double doors find LOTUS HUNAN... trust! read more

I've been ordering from Lotus Hunan for years! One of my fav restaurants in town and they're always so pleasant.

The food is good but very greasy. The service was very quick for lunch. They had good lunch specials.

Outstanding food and amazing service! The Wonton soup was delicious, great General Tso's chicken, and my tea glass was refilled almost every sip. read more

We were in the area and this restaurant had pretty good reviews so we tried it out. The inside is dark, old and dated. For atmosphere, I give it 2 stars. We ordered the beef mongolian dish and it was delicious! The flavors were spot on, the portion was big, and the prices are comparable to others. Food was 4 stars. If we are in the area again I'd love to try other dishes. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and the food was fast. 4 stars to the employees! I noticed a lot of to-go orders while we were there so it's definitely a popular restaurant. It just could use some updating on the inside. read more

This restaurant didn't come up in google or yelp searches, for local area eats. Found it by looking around the plaza, on our way to CVS. There's no glam here, but it's clean, organized, friendly staff and the food is delicious. Steamed dumplings were good, nothing crazy. Wife had the friend rice and I had the chili chicken and shrimp. Both were hot, well mixed and delicious. Lots of flavor and you could taste the different ingredients, which I love; spices, sauce, etc don't over power other ingredients. Oh the beer was cold to :-) I could tell locals come here often and know the staff. I like that and says a lot. Also, I believe the owner's family stopped in and the granddaughter was so cute. Food was fast but didn't taste like fast food. Really enjoyed our meal. read more

Had Chicken Delight to share with spouse. We both felt dish was very bland and needed much more seasoning.

We went out to eat here last night with the family. We left our son's stuffed bunny that he has had since birth there. We called the next morning to pick up the bunny and no one had seen the stuffed animal yet this was the only place we went to and the went straight home. Please check your camera and return our missing friend. $150 reward to owner, please help us. We also eat here all the time. I will be sad if this is our last dining experience at Lotus because of this incident. read more

I ordered Lotus Hunan for dinner. I called up the restaurant and placed my order. After about 15 minutes I went to pick it up. I walked in the door. Told them my name, paid and they gave me my food. The person working at the front was very nice so I would say that the service was good at pick up. I didn't eat in the restaurant but from what I saw it was a large open area with booths, tables and chairs. I left with my food for home. I ordered the chicken fried rice with vegetables and egg rolls. The chicken fried rice with vegetables comes with chicken, egg, green onion, carrots, and green peas, mixed with rice that's fried and soy sauce. It has just a little bit of flavor. I usually add sweet and sour sauce which makes the fried rice sweet. The egg rolls were crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. I eat my egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce as well. This restaurant has good Chinese food with decent prices. read more

Wow ... Really. I ordered from this restaurant to be delivered to my hotel room (via a third-party delivery service), based entirely on Yelp reviews. Glad I did. First, I ordered the sesame fish to go with my order because I'd driven all day and my eyes were bigger than my stomach. But they were fun to eat and tasted pretty good -- a sesame crunch that encompassed moist light white fish. Throughout my travels, I've not seen these on a menu, and I'm not sure that they are anything more than a cook's invention at this joint. Still, I enjoyed them. Perfect for dipping in duck sauce, as the salty fish contrasted nicely. But I really ordered from here for the hot & sour soup, my standby, and the beef hot pepper sauce, which looked very appealing. The hot & sour soup was delicious sipped straight from the Styrofoam cup. It was an excellent combination of spice and tart, with nice strands of toothsome ingredients. The beef hot pepper sauce was simplicity perfected -- tender beef in a slightly spiced sauce, coupled with thinly sliced al dente bamboo shoots. Outstanding. These folks go out on a limb when it comes to Americanized Chinese food. My meal was slightly different than the norm, and more then worth a repeat to this place. If I lived closer, I'm fairly certain this would be a weekly thing for me. read more

**COVID-19 take out review** Hubby and I were in the area as we dropped off our pup for a mini makeover. We called in to place our order - given a 15min time frame and instructed to call when ready for curbside delivery. Gentleman on the phone was very polite and food was ready on time. I had the Sesame Chicken - delicious but not a fan of the rice - while hubby truly enjoyed the Roast Duck. However, the latter special does not include rice - bummer. Next time, we'll make sure to order a side of white rice. Nonetheless, our overall experience was pleasant and looking forward to a dine-in experience - I do recommend. read more

Amazing food, quick service, kind staff, cool decor, and good prices. What's not to love?

It was tasty and delivered quickly. The food had the right spices and, for my taste preferences, the correct amount of each was included.

Delicious food and friendly staff, we come to this area just to stop here. Restaurant is clean and service is super quick! definitely recommend if you love classic chinese food. read more

This is your standard strip center sweet and sour pork Chinese place. That being said and with lower expectations we had an okay lunch. I specifically asked if the fried dumplings were pan fried or deep fried and was told pan fried so ordered them. They were small, tasted factory made and DEEP fried! Wonton soup was good albeit very salty. Sesame chicken was good but fried rice had been sitting out a while and needed some soy sauce for color. Vwry large portion for lunch could be shared. I've never seen american style sweet sour sauce for eggroll that is orange instead of red but the extra fried eggroll skin was nice. Rating reduced from 4 stars to 3 for inadequate and miscommunicated dumplings. Otherwise, service and host were pleasant and speedy. read more

A friend recommended Lotus Hunan. We hadn't been in several years so we gave it a try for lunch recently. What a great rediscovery! With so many Asian restaurants not offering dine in, we appreciated that they were open and COVID careful. Service was very pleasant and the food was delicious. They have plentiful lunch offerings at reasonable prices. I had the beef and chicken delight. It's not actually on the menu but the waitress offered the beef and chicken combination when I told her I liked both. The dish had lots of different veggies and a good amount of protein. I like spicy, but most restaurants don't seem to be able to do that to my liking. Lotus Hunan came through with plenty of spice! We will return soon!!! read more

Ordered through Favor and got my lunch hot and satisfying. Mongolian beef was not the best I've ever had but definitely the best I've had in Austin so far. It came with wonton soup and egg roll. Both were delicious. Even the fortune cookie was tasty. The fried rice was bland but edible. So glad to have this available in my neighborhood. read more

Lotus Hunan - Mongolian Beef Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Always love supporting local. Very friendly service and they are very quick too. My fiance and I will be back!

The food was amazing! Wonton soup was hot but not too hot where it burns your mouth and have to wait 30 min for it to cool down. Egg roll was light and delicious. Great portions for their lunch special! And great lunch special prices. Plus friendly and attentive service. I don't usually leave reviews but I had to share my experience this time. I would def recommend. Edit: forgot to mention they were responsive and understanding of my peanut allergy and were able to accommodate. Very thankful. read more

First of all. The service was excellent. However, that didn't make up for the food we ordered. The Hot and Sour soup was flavorful (not very spicy) but it was Luke warm (cold) at best. We ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken with fried rice. The Chicken was over cooked (not burnt) and way too crispy. The egg rolls were very greasy. Great service but blah food. The search continues. read more
