Lotus - Trafford

The meal was excellent, it was the best takeout I've had in a while. Everything was hot and fresh. I will definitely be ordering again.

I tried this restaurant for the first time in 2020 after my previous favorite (Ma's) closed. Other than occasionally long wait times on Fridays or Saturdays, I had no issues with them. I really love their sushi.

I ordered a meal for myself as a treat while taking care of a sick family member. Unfortunately, most of it ended up in the trash. The house mix starter for one was actually really nice, but the house special fried rice in sauce was terrible. It smelled like boiled fatty duck with thick fat on it, and everything was steamed with hard rice. The chicken with cashew dish had the same sauce as the rice and tasted strange and flavorless, with rubbery chicken. I enjoyed the starter, but the rest was unpleasant and will be thrown away. It's disappointing to waste money and food, but I can't eat it. Even the prawn crackers didn't taste right.

A group of us had takeaway last week and it was a mixed bag. I had the mixed platter to start, very average perhaps even poor, it was tastless and just microwave reheated I think. The red Thai curry was appaling, I couldnt even eat...it, it was gloopy, thick and the appearance was awful, same with the green curry. However the Chinese chicken curry was excellent , spicy prawns were lovely and the beef and mushroom was good too. The easiest of dishes, Prawn crackers, were awful, cold and chewy, not sure how you get them wrong !. I would never get takeout from there again. Very disppointing to have most of the meal be inedible.

Ordered a takeaway. Very unfriendly young woman totally ignored me for over 5 minutes as she continually answered the phone. An acknowledgment that I was waiting was all that was needed. Salt and pepper ribs were fatty far too thick and tasteless. At the bottom...of the container a thick layer of crumbs and chilli were soggy. The vermicelli noodles were tasty but it was hunt the shrimp, thinpork and chicken slices were plentiful but quite honestly the whole dish was underwhelming. My first and last visit.
