Lotus - So good!!! - Chinese Near Me - Ukiah, California

Not sure where to start here but here goes. We were seated and sat there for 10 minutes. Person came over to take order and I said can we have menus ? Mind blown. All downhill from there. Out of noodles. No chow meins which is another shocker considering it is a specialty based on menu offering 5+ variation. I asked which Chinese chicken dish had assortment of vegetables. They didn't know and returned to tell me the "chicken with vegetables". Had vegetables. Um ok I read that on the menu but everything listed was nonndescriotive and I had no idea the difference between this restaurants version of Szechuan, generals, kung pao etc chicken dishes. Basically server had no clue what was on the menu or even ability tone of assistance. I ordered the general chicken that was supposed to be hot it had no heat and no sauce worth noting. Nor any rice. Nice batter though. My son ordered sushi and had to eat it with a fork because the roll fell apart with chop sticks. Yes he knows how to use them. Sushi was low grade and some was fishy tasting One of my other cohorts had to wait 30-40 minutes after first entree was served before they received their food. Slow unprofessional staff and poor food preparation and quality. Will not be back anytme soon. read more

Good service, place is clean, food is not good. We didn't finish anything, because of bland greasy flavor. Water had a plastic taste, sweet and sour tasted like ketchup. read more

Lotus - three plates of food on a wooden table - Chinese Near Me - Ukiah, California

Got my order wrong and the sushi tastes like safeway sushi. Definitely not worth the price.

My favorite place to get my Chinese Food. I always ask for spicy! I have enjoyed everything I've eaten here.

Lotus Chinese restaurant is really good. We had it for the first time today. We got the Wor Won Ton Soup with shrimp, kung poa chicken, and a small order of white rice. The Wor Won Ton had a delicious broth, and lots of fresh vegetables. It had noodles in it, which I have never had before in Wor Won Ton but it was really tasty. The Kung pao chicken had white chicken meat, fresh crunchy vegetables, and a lots of peanuts. I appreciate that they use white chicken meat. The owner was very friendly and the restaurant was really nice and clean. The food wasn't bad in price if you are on a budget. We will definitely return for more! read more

Consistently fresh and tasty. Keep in mind that is isn't your typical Chinese restaurant. The dishes are lighter, not super heavy. The owners are kind. Park in the lot off of main, it's consistently open. We haven't ever had an off meal. read more

Extremely over priced with small portions, ordered generals chicken and fried rice( chicken tasted old an bad) was 30$ no soup salad or drink. Also restaurant smelled like a dirty bathroom read more

Our grandsons water had pull tab in his water. None of the fish was fresh. We waited over 30 minutes for our food and no one else's was in the restaurant. To top all that off ...no hand soap in the restroom . We ended up walking out and still paid $145 for food we couldn't eat read more

Was looking forward to eating here. Ordered online and was advised order would be ready in 30 minutes. Arrived at 20 minutes and was told it'd be sone shortly only to still be waiting 46 minutes later. Finally, after constantly being told it'd be done shortly, I asked for my money back and will never return again. Several people did the same before me after sitting at inside tables waiting for food that never showed. How does a business like this stay in business. Service dreadful. read more

Best Chinese/Japanese restaurant in the county. Very friendly. Very affordable food is amazing

I fart and got kicked out and also they thought I was looking at a underage girl and almost called the police

Best sushi in Ukiah now that O'Haru is under new management. Excellent miso soup. Good service.

Best Chinese food in Ukiah. Potstickers are small but very tasty. We also enjoyed the Kung Pow (wrong spelling). Mushu veggies also quite yummy but the pancake part was from a package and dried out. Interior of restaurant is super retro and in great shape. Fun place to re-visit if you haven't been in years --which was my situation. Same owners for 30 years but I think they got some of the cooks from other Asian restaurants that folded in the past few years. read more

Service is a little slow but both sever and chef are very sweet. The wonton soup is prepared different then we are use to but very good. We also had general chicken, sweet & sour pork and chicken chow main which were all delicious. The environment is pretty and very quiet. There was a dirty spoon out of us three and a lot of water spots on glassware partnered with slow service gives it the four stars or this would have been five stars! Easy improvements! read more

This place is good! The best General's Chicken I have had in a while! I have had a General's Chicken at nearly every Chinese food restaurant I have ever been to and this was some of the best. The chicken was crispy and hot. The sauce never had a chance to soften it. Even toward the end of our meal the chicken was still crisp. NOTE: I did get General's Chicken to go one time and ended up with soggy breading so eat this in the restaurant just as it is cooked. The sushi was satisfying. Basic in appearance, but tasty. I enjoyed the purple cabbage and cucumber. Not overly sauced like so many others. The sushi chef takes his time to make fresh rolls. If you are looking for some good Chinese food and tasty sushi, stop into Lotus. A small family business worth a visit! read more

Lotus - Some of the best General's Chicken. I wish you could hear this crisp chicken crunch. - Chinese Near Me - Ukiah, California

I can get a steak for less in Ukiah and the food wasn't that great. At these prices, it should have been fantastic. Not recommended.

Hands down the best Chinese food in town it's so good!! Everything is fresh and delicious. Don't let the outside building fool you the inside is very nice & clean and the owner is very polite and attentive 10/10 recommended!! read more

Open until 10p every day and they make a very good (if overly salty) mu shu pork. In this town that's about as good as 5 stars you're gonna get! I'm taking off a star because hot tea is gonna cost you $1.25, that was quite a surprise in a basic Chinese (and Japanese) restaurant. Friendly FOB service and clean place too. Jazz crooner dudes on the music system too! read more

Lotus - At 9:05pm on a weekday, good to know salvation for my empty stomach is at hand in Ukiah! - Chinese Near Me - Ukiah, California

The Lotus is very consistent and pretty good tasting Chinese and Japanese food. Of the Chinese food available in Ukiah, it is the best. I would describe it more as 3.5 stars honestly but I would rather round up for them because they've been here a long time and they've never let me down. The food tastes clean and they leave onions out when I ask them to. read more

Best in Ukiah. Moo shoo pork, hot and sour soup, wor won ton soup... All good. I come here regularly.

Long overdue since it's been awhile and am sorry for no pics just take out but you will find the best sushi here as well as all main courses are just beautiful and delicious. I don't know when they redid the main dining area but it's lovely and quite an upgrade from what it used to be. They kept me well fed during the pandemic for which I'm grateful and are now open for indoor dining again too! So be sure to check them out if you're looking for a quality meal! read more

First time coming here the food was great we ordered the orange chicken, shrimp fried rice , and calamari. Everything was freshly made and tasted great. This place is a 10/10 will definitely be coming here more often! I would recommend this place to anyone craving Chinese food. Also the server was very polite and attentive read more

This place is as alright. It has both Japanese and Chinese cuisine. Ordered a tempura roll which was really tasty. Ordered the dinner combo meal of teriyaki chicken and tempura. Chicken was disappointing and tempura veggies were ok. Other people in my party ordered Chinese food. They ordered a curry dish and chow mein. The chow mein was really delicious and the curry was good. read more

I got the red snapper nigiri and the spicy California roll and it was very fresh and delicious! Would recommend! Place is also clean and decorated very nicely. read more

Best Hot & Sour soup.. it'll cure the common cold! Or at least comfort you during one! The Lotus doesn't skimp on fresh ingredients and will satisfy your Asian food cravings! read more

Hands down the absolute best Chinese food to eat in Ukiah! If I could eat here everyday I totally would. My go to's are chicken chow mein, orange chicken, broccoli beef, spicy California roll, and of course the worlds best cream cheese wontons! Owners are super kind and friendly. read more

Lotus - Spicy California Roll - Chinese Near Me - Ukiah, California

Don't let the exterior fool you, the inside is clean, the Sushi was fresh, service was quick and super friendly! Highly recommend!

A good place to go to if you happen to be craving Asian foods. Between Lotus and Oco Time, I'll say Oco Time has better sushi but not by a lot. However, if you want to have more separate rolls ordered, this place is better for that situation because their rolls are more affordable than Oco Time's since their rolls aren't as big. I've had their teriyaki chicken once and I definitely liked it. A place I could see myself coming back to again one of these days when I visit my home area. read more

This is Ukiah's hidden gem. They have remodeled and the food is great. Sushi is better than Oco Time for the money. We had Won Ton soup, Rainbow Ron and Spicy Tuma. Looking forward to come here again. read more

ive been going here with my family since i was 11 years old and they have been so amazing and have had such wonderful food consistently 10/10 read more

This is our favorite Chinese food option locally, but they also do a nice job with their Japanese menu. What I appreciate most about this place is how fresh the ingredients are - you can tell the vegetables weren't frozen before being cooked and they make everything to order. And they don't have sushi 100% of the time, just when they have fresh fish, which I admire: they will only serve you the best. I believe it is owned by two couples and they all take turns cooking and serving, and they're all very nice. Check it out! read more

If you are looking for high quality Sushi or Chinese Cuisine than you have found the right place. I love the Lotus for its cleanliness, personal service and fresh food. I always say its quality vs quanity however i always have more than enough. When i go out to eat I want a meal prepared better than that which I can prepare myself. Folks! This is your place. We love the spider sushi, Ukiah Roll, the Alaskan and Californian actually there isnt one we havent enjoyed. My other recommendation is the Teriyaki Chicken on the lunch menu. Try them out you wont be disappointed. read more

Ukiah is a barren wasteland for good Asian food. Lotus however is a solid option if you have a hankering for something of the Asian persuasion. What's interesting about this place is that it has the fairly typical dishes you would see at any standard Chinese restaurant, but it also has a sushi menu that has a curiously Chinese flair. I ordered the shrimp chow mein which was about as decent as you are going to get in these parts, as well as the Fatter and Fatter roll. The sauces presented with this particular roll, were not your typical unagi sauce and sriracha. They were paler than either one of those...not saying that is bad, just different. The service was friendly, but a little slow. Not a bad thing either, as I was not in a hurry. It appears as though it may be a husband and wife team running the place and both were pleasant. Overall, I would absolutely consider dining here again when I don't feel like heading down to Santa Rosa for other Asian options. read more

Pretty decent food for the price. We don't eat Chinese much, but this place hit the spot. The Almond Chicken was so yummy, my 1.5 year old was eating more of it than me and my husband! I had my husband try veggie tempura, and he really liked it. We got the dinner combination, and had leftovers for days. The only thing I didn't care for was the soup, but everything else made up for it. read more

I just love this place.. Friendly workers and amazing food. I would highly recommend this restaurant read more

Lotus - Pot Stickers! - Chinese Near Me - Ukiah, California

I love this place to eat. A lot of really good food and excellent service. My family and I eat here frequently and always enjoy it. From their lunch specials to the dinner menu and all the various sushi and rolls. Great place, great prices, and great service. read more

I give it a four star in a small town like Ukiah. In a bigger city, this place would be a three star. The Chinese food is passable. Nothing particular great but generally authentic. What impress me is that among all the restaurants that do fusion of Chinese and Japanese foods, their Japanese food is quite good. I think what is drawing them back is the presentation and atmosphere. They really should spend some money on decoration. On the other hand, the service are quite friendly. After chatting with the owner, I found that he is actually a surgeon from China. He came to US as a visiting scholar at UCSF. What an interesting world. read more

Oh man!!!!! The miso soup was amazing.... this is sooo good.. and I a very very picky sushi person.. but try the miso soup...
