I'm glad I placed my order online ahead of time because it was pretty busy when I arrived for pickup. Overall, I'd say this place is decent, but not one of my favorites. Here's what we ordered: - Beef Mei Fun - I actually meant to order the Beef Chow Fun, but it turned out to be a happy accident. I was worried the mei fun would be dry and bland, but it had good flavor, and my kids really enjoyed it. - Beef with String Beans - I was expecting more of a dry stir-fry, but it came in a brown sauce instead. It just wasn't my preference. - Bean Curd with Garlic Sauce - I wasn't sure what to expect since there wasn't much of a description on the menu. It also came in a brown sauce, and I honestly couldn't taste much garlic, so the name was a little misleading. - Plain Chicken Wings - Definitely the standout of the meal. Crispy, flavorful, and something I'd order again. - BBQ Ribs - They were okay. Nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. Overall, the food was solid, and the pickup process was smooth despite how busy they were. While I don't think this will become my go-to Chinese spot in Stamford, there were a few dishes that made the visit worthwhile.

General tso Chicken & shrimp broccoli are good, although the sauce taste slightly different but still very close to what you find in traditional Chinese restaurant 20 years ago. Food are fresh and very nice people. Spacious with restroom, good place to go as an alternate choice to Indian restaurant next door. Both are my favorite now.

I'm not clear on whether this restaurant has new owners or is a rebranding/reopening. Some items seem the same, and I have always loved the restaurant in this specific location.

Food is consistently good, particularly all the specialty rolls and regular sushi rolls. Sesame chicken is still best in town, only now it lacks the sauce (need to see if there is an option to ask for more). Beef and broccoli is amazing, just outright delicious. The only thing I wouldn't recommend (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is Thai food. Pad Thai is just mediocre. I got Tom Yum soup yesterday and it was insanely sour but lacked any other flavor, so I can't really recommend Thai food there. But for Japanese and Chinese portion of the menu it is definitely 5 stars and highly recommended.

Once we stepped in, we were warmly greeted by the host/server and decided to stay and eat. === FOOD: 7/10 === We ordered egg drop soup as an appetizer. It had a great consistency. It was not too thickened or glutinous and refreshingly light, pairing well with the wonton crisps. The broth comes piping hot, and is well seasoned, leaving you feeling at home with each sip. For our main dishes, we shared their special pineapple fried rice with shrimp and chinese eggplant with chicken. The rice, while seemingly an odd almagamation of ingredients, ended up presenting surprisingly well. The sweet and tartness of the pineapple was balanced out by the fatty, nutty cashews. However, I did wish their rice was a tad crispier and fried for a bit longer as the texture was a bit too soft all throughout. The eggplant was also a good palatable consistency, not too oily, and very mildly spicy. Not fantastic, but enjoyable enough to finish. To end on a great note though, we thoroughly enjoyed their mango pudding. It's made in house and presents more like a flan with its smooth pudding consistency and liquid sugar on top, but alas, tastes deliciously mango. We blew through one and it was only $3. Should've gotten two! === AMBIANCE: 8/10 === Lotus East features a chic design with its beautiful logo and sign. It's small and cozy inside and is perfect for casual nights out. === SERVICE: 10/10 === Absolutely wonderful service. Our server was hosting and serving at the same time and still managed to keep our waters filled while tending to new guests. He also attentively realized we were sharing everything and provided an extra set of cutlery and plates/bowls without us even asking. Could not ask for better service. === OVERALL: 8/10 === While I have no major complaints about either dish, and the food does give authentically chinese, neither of the main dishes blew me away. Their food leans on the sweet end and it felt like it was missing some of the dynamic spice-filled flavor profile I usually hope to taste in quality chinese food. All the stars deserved for the fantastic egg drop soup, mango pudding, and service though. I totally get that this is a Day 1 review though I'd love to see this place grow in all the good ways in the coming years. I would defs come back if I had the chance and would update this review then. Thanks for reading!
