Medway Lotus Restaurant

Great service and quick, but the food wasn't even remotely close to my expectations. I ordered the scallion pancakes, and these were somewhat ok to eat. The chicken fingers, I sent back cause it smelled like it was cooked in engine oil. The chef's special spicy chicken tasted nothing like the description. It was sour and greasy topped with stale peanuts! The scorpion bowl was OK. Maybe, one can go here for the drinks but certainly the food could be much better or maybe I ordered the unpopular dishes. I'm visiting from California, so maybe my expectations were high. I can't tell for sure. I couldn't finish eating any of the food that I had ordered. The common trend I have observed is that the restaurants with too many items on the menu struggle to keep up with the quality of food. I hope the owner understands such reviews to improve the quality of the restaurant. No disrespect intended to anyone!

Very disappointed with eating here. The food was not up to standard i am use to. The spicy tofu comes with pork even though its under vegetable and not listed. It also doesnt come with white rice that is another charge.It also has no spice . Everything was liquid. I got sick after eating the food so i cant recommend

My husband and I had gone there last night to have dinner and it was great I had gotten a love potion drink I had to take a picture of it and send it to my daughter. I recommend people to go there and have dinner with family it's wonderful! You will enjoy it. The people the food and the atmosphere!

This is not your modern gourmet Chinese food. This is the old school New England style Chinese food that we grew up with. I have been coming here for over 40 years. When you sit at the bar, the other patrons instantly make you feel like family. There is definitely a regular crowd, however even if it's your first time you can join the conversation and everyone is friendly. It is a family owned and operated restaurant. The majority of the time you will see either Joe or his brother Tommy. Their dad is in the kitchen. You will notice money tacked to the ceiling, that gets donated to a kids cancer foundation. They are famous for their Mai Tai's and Scorpion Bowls! Joe worked hard to keep the prices down when all of the restaurant supplies went up. They still make the old school egg rolls with celery. I've always been a fan of their chicken wings, Peking raviolis, crab rangoons, beef and chicken teriyaki. Their lobster sauce is solid. In my mom's final days, the only thing she would eat was Medway Lotus lo mein. Within reason they will cater to your wishes and let you substitute an item. Some things might add a buck or two. Definitely not due to greed. They have well over 20 combinations on their luncheon menu. Karaoke on the weekends. The dining area is nicely decorated in Asian decor adding to the ambiance. The 5 stars really reflects the atmosphere, the owners and the patrons that really add to the experience. I want to comment that there's a review on here where someone wrote the workers had a language barrier. The family that owns and operates the restaurant speak perfect English. The owner was a waiter there before he bought it when I was growing up. It was an ignorant comment. If you want to take a step back in time, or if you want to go somewhere to feel comfortable and forget about the outside world for a little bit, check out the Medway Lotus! While sitting at the bar just be respectful and not a "buffoon" and you will have a great time!

Tiki Chinese/ New England Chinese at its best! Mini Peking raviolis, mai Thais, crab ragoons and more!! I don’t want to tell you about this place so I can keep it to myself! They don’t advertise because they don’t have to!!
