Lotus Garden - Plainsboro

This is our favorite go-to authentic Asian restaurant! We've never had a bad dish there; everything is always served hot, fresh, and delicious. The atmosphere may feel a bit outdated, but the prices are reasonable. They also have large round tables, perfect for bigger groups or family gatherings. This isn't your typical Chinese takeout; they specialize in authentic Taiwanese and Chinese cuisine.

The portions of the food are generous and reasonably priced, and the dishes were quite delicious and authentic.

While there were no issues with hair in my food, it was served hot and packed with flavor. The staff during my visit was friendly and very attentive. The knödel, however, was slightly overcooked, just a step away from being too soft. Overall, I would definitely come back.

I was just ordering a few times here over the years only basic dishes, but my last take-out was chicken pan roasted noodles and it's pretty good, but it has American Vegi in a brown sauce ..not like your typical chinatown rests with Chinese vege in lite sauce .. I thought and assumed this place seems authentic for real Chinese dishes based on reviews .. another surprise, it was cold until the time I got home, about 20 minutes, and I never had to be Chinese takeout cold, ha ,.. great surprise so that I actually warmed it in the microwave .. other than, both my dishes were good .. $33 total, with Yangchow roasted rice ..

Good portions, service was good and friendly. Authentic menu seemed right according to a friend from China, except it was missing the peppers expected in Szechuan style.
