" Absolutely loved my experience at Red Lotus! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with smiles. The egg drop soup was soothing, and the spicy beef was to die for! I highly recommend trying their homemade sauces. Will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem Red Lotus turned out to be! The authentic flavors transported me back to my travels in China. I adored the mapo tofu and their homemade chili sauce. Cannot wait for my next trip back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Red Lotus based on its reputation, but my experience was less than satisfactory. The sweet and sour chicken lacked flavor, and the portion size was disappointing for the price. On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and did their best to accommodate us. I might give it another shot, hoping it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to Red Lotus after reading all the positive reviews but ended up a bit underwhelmed. The hot and sour soup was more hot than sour, and it lacked the punch I was hoping for. That said, the place has a nice vibe, and if you're looking for someplace cozy to eat, it might be worth checking out. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Red Lotus has always been solid for us! The portion sizes are generous, and the food is consistently good. I love trying new dishes from their menu every time. One of the best Chinese spots around! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was a lovely discovery! The ambiance is pleasant and not crowded which makes for a nice meal. The portions were perfect and we had just enough appetizers and mains to fill us up. Highly recommend the dumplings! " (*Curated Review*)
