LOTUS GARDEN CHINESE RESTAURANT

Lotus Garden Chinese Restaurant is the kind of place where cleanliness reigns supreme, but the food? Let’s just say it’s more 'meh' than 'wow'. The dim sum is decent, but if you're expecting Michelin star magic, you'll be disappointed. Staff like Morris and Ljubica are friendly, but the food quality is hit or miss—think more average takeout than fine dining. The BBQ plate is a safe bet, but you won't be dreaming about it later. Plus, you might want to brace yourself for an awkward wait if you hit it during peak hours.

The ambiance is spacious, with three floors to choose from, but don't let that trick you into thinking it's a culinary wonderland. It's clean and has decent service, but it's the kind of place you go to just to fill your stomach—not to impress anyone. Unless you're a fan of the ‘food is just food’ philosophy, you might want to keep looking for your next dim sum obsession.
