Lotus Garden

This place has one of the best noodles in the DMV as they make it fresh for your meal. Additionally, all other choices on menu are done very well and is very authentic Chinese cuisine. One slight negative is that during busy times is can be slow as they are understaffed. But it is worth the wait. Will definitely put Lotus Garden into our regular rotation.

I can’t believe I just discovered this place after living here for so long! I randomly stumbled upon it, and it was exactly what I’d been looking for. I’m pretty sure it’s Cantonese-style Chinese food, and if you’re after that classic roast duck and crispy pork hanging in the window—along with authentic, non-Americanized dishes—this is the spot. There were so many things I wanted to try, but we settled on Hunan beef, roast duck, vegetable lo mein, and Buddha’s Delight. We shared everything family-style, though I’m pretty sure I ate most of it myself! The flavors were incredibly authentic and unforgettable. The menu is huge, making it tough to choose, but I can’t wait to go back and try more!

I come back here for the food, hand pulled noodles and soup. Nothing fancy but the food is worth it. Once in awhile you crave that taste that you just can't really find just everywhere. Went there with a larger group today and they were busy. Props to the servers who are running around to fulfill needy customer requests. There's a window in the kitchen where the cooks hand pull the noodles so you know what you're getting. I'm vegetarian and I'm just glad they have veggie options. Again the plate is not multitude or flavors but it's the simple kind of flavors that's just done right and always consistent.

If you're in search of authentic, delicious Chinese food, this is the place to be. It's a testament to its authenticity that most of its customers are native. As far as I know, this is the only spot where you can get fresh, hand-pulled noodles—if you know of others, please let me know! As a vegetarian, my favorite dish is the vegetable special egg noodles with string beans. The ambiance can be chaotic when it's busy, but I see that as a sign of a great restaurant, as the flavor never disappoints. I've already eaten here twice this week. The only improvement needed is the service; when it gets hectic, the servers often forget to bring water, napkins, or other requested items, as they seem to be understaffed most of the time. So, most of the time, I just go up to the counter and request or grab it myself, which solves the issue. Overall, I would highly recommend it! Their red chili oil is one of the best I have had, and the portions are huge for the price. Just be patient, as English is not the primary language of most of the servers, so there might be some communication barriers, but I can tell they are doing their best.

Never thought you could find EVERYTHING in one store. Literally. Come check it out. You can find all the different type of cuisine. I’m highly recommend. You can come in for solo meal. Or came in for family style. I would definitely come back try something more
