The Best Chinese restaurant in Johannesburg. EXCELLENT SERVICE. BEST PRICED DISHES. SUSHI TO DIE FOR. OH YES THE CRISPY CHECKEN IS A MUST. EXTREMELY HANDS ON MANAGER AS SHE JUST TOUCHES EVERY CUSTOMER AND IT GREATS A GOOD VIBE. THE FAMILY LOVED IT. WILL DEFINITELY TAKE SOME FRIENDS ALONG. THE CHEFS OUT DID THEM SELFS WITH THE TASTEY DISHES AND PRESENTATION. KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP.

This restaurant is fantastic. Every dish we had - the complimentary rainbow roll special, spicy salted prawns. Plus prawns with chili AND the best garlic Chinese greens I have ever had ... everything was EXCELLENT. The servers were great and our hostess and owner Eileen charming and generous. Definitely will be back!

I’m so glad to have found this gem of a Chinese restaurant. The owner Eileen is so charming and personally looked after me with delicious food and such attentive service. The premises are spacious, which is perfect for today’s social distancing. The Crispy sesame chicken was perfect and won ton soup was a sensation.They have an extensive Sushi menu at very reasonable prices as well as take away options.Highly recommended.

We did take away for dinner,As we didn’t know the right way to parking then waited in the street and a little dodgy to get to restaurant.But looks they have a good parking with better access to restaurant.Food was nice and delicious. Not cheap though.

We celebrated our grandsons Red Egg & Ginger party at this restaurant with 70 guests. Eileen and Beauty assisted us and were very professional and helpful.They created a 9 course meal with the highlight been the Peking duck.They allowed us to bring traditional Chinese cuisine which they did not supply as well as our own cakes.All the wait staff was helpful and courteous. A fantastic evening enjoyed by all our guests. Thank you Beauty and Eileen. Will see you again not only for a meal but parties as well.Please note this menu and prices are current for the month of June 2019.

The food was delicious. The service was great. The stuff even try to talk in Chinese to give a warm welcome to people. The owner of the restaurant is a lovely person. They guided me to what to do in south Africa. Where to visit and how to get the best deals. Shame my picture is not very clear. But it was a lovely meal

If Chinese food is your weakness, and you are looking for a great deal then i suggest checking out Lotus Rosebank. Buffets are usually not my thing, but i was privileged to try out their Sunday Buffet (for a ridiculously low price of R119) and i can happily report that it is such great value for money in the heart of Rosebank.The quality of the food is NOT compromised at all, there is massive variety, the food is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. I even got to satisfy my Sushi craving which is part of the buffet offerings.My favourites were the Duck and Crispy Chicken along with noodles and sweet and sour chicken. The sliced Potato Salad is something different and a must try. For desserts you HAVE to have the Egg tarts.Our waitress Gladys was on point. She is a such a pleasure, friendly and good with suggestions. She will even walk you through the tables explaining all the different food.If you are a picky eater, then speak to the staff they will definitely assist.Compliments to the Chef, it was a proper feast.There was just too many pictures of the food not to post all, hence the album.#LotusRosebank#TheFoodMusketeer#TheFoodMusketeerEats#TFMLotusRosebank

Wife was missing asian food on our trip and were glad we went there for dinner. Yummy authentic chinese cuisine. The lady boss was very friendly and when she heard my wife wasnt feeling the best, gave us a pack of ginger tea. Another one of her staff even offered to walk us back to our accommodation as it was dark out! Amazing service!

Lotus relocated from Baker Street in Rosebank. The owner, service and quality of the food has not changed. On Sundays they do a buffet, so a person can try dishes that you would not order from the menu.Highly recommend this restaurant.
