"Feeling like some Chinese and but too lazy to drive all the way to Edison or Hamilton we figured it was time to revisit Lotus Garden...It had indeed been awhile as we were frequent diners there back BC....{before Covid}. Walking up I was gratified to see they were doing well as all the window tables were occupied with happy Chinese diners diving into some interesting dishes... Good sigh Right? Checking out the half full front dining room with happy patrons we were finally greeted by a rather hurried gentleman who led us immediately to the half lit, deserted side dining room and dropped 2 English menus and 2 pairs of knives and forks...Bad sign Right?

One of the best and most authentic Chinese spots in central NJ. I've never had a bad meal here and order from here every year for Thanksgiving. Whether it is a quick weeknight meal or a large gathering weekend dim sum, this place offers quick and no-frills service with incredible dishes. My favorites are the Taiwanese style pork chops, Szechuan diced spicy chicken, and the salt and pepper squid. I also believe this place is BYOB so what is not to love about not getting ripped off for alcohol?

I grew up on Lotus Garden take-out and that was nearly 40 years ago. I have not been here in years. After seeing some of the recent negative reviews, I was a bit nervous to go back, since I have just fond memories of the restaurant and their food. I'm happy to report that my experience with the food and service was solid! I was here for lunch with a friend. The lunch prices are definitely at a higher price point as with most restaurants. I ordered the Chicken with Broccoli and my friend got the Shrimp Chow Mein. Both entrees came with soup (Wonton and Hot and Sour). We both enjoyed our meals and didn't have any complaints.

My relationship with this restaurant spans over two decades. Lotus Garden is not beautiful it has outdated decor and the lights in the dining room are dim, not for ambiance but it is a staple in the Plainsboro community. Sitting here now, as I wait for my family to arrive, other parties come through the front door and the owners welcome them in with familiarity. Everyone comes here. The menu includes your typical American Chinese fare the General Tso 's is excellent every time. They have plenty of lunch specials. But most come here for authentic dishes. My mother nudges me What 's that? What are they eating? at everyone else 's spreads. You can 't come here and order just one thing. Today, w...
