Lotus Room Chinese Cuisine

This is a family owned restaurant and the people here are nice and personable. The food was delicious and not too salty. I ate the drunken noodle with a mix of garlic flavored meat/seafood array (I don't know the name), and both dishes were delicious! Their tea was also delicious and perfect in a cold day. Next time I'll try their egg rolls because while I was there, I saw 2 customers order just egg rolls for take out. Must mean something 🙄

I was excited to try a new Asian restaurant, especially after hearing a lot about this one. I've been to nearly every local Asian dive, with varying levels of authenticity and price. I love Americanized Asian food, I admit, but I've enjoyed more authentic restaurants as well; and while this place is indeed authentic, I think it can be a weakness as well as a strength. The menu here is very small, and very a la carte. There's no simple combo meal for a convenient variety. I sampled a couple chicken dishes. The sauces were unusual but tasty, but the chicken itself is chopped so tiny it creates a very strange experience. It felt challenging to get a satisfying bite, and the meat seemed dark, and made you wonder if the dice was compensation for the fattiness. The texture was very mushy and homogenous. Good flavor, but flat in virtually every other plane. Seafood may be better here than the very odd chicken. The soup and egg roll were good but uninspiring. Portions weren't terribly generous either; albeit I didn't really want to finish my dish anyway. The rice had good flavor. Service is fine and the decor is cute, but the strange styling of the food just didn't do it for any of my party of three. I welcome authentic cooking, but I think some of those decisions are not strong ones here. I really want to return to try more dishes; it's not every day you find a Chinese restaurant with completely unique sauces and flavors; but the risk of another off putting dish keeps me from making the drive.

This place is great! I am sure everyone in the area makes a point to go when they can as it's phenomenal. The staff is well versed and does a solid job of explaining the menu.

When our family has a craving for Italian food, we had directly to Italia Gardens, from the moment you walk into the restaurant you are greeted not only by friendly staff but by the aroma of a wood burning pizza stove and fresh bread directly from the oven... the pizza has an "old-school" taste and the unique flavor.
