Google Review Summary
Lotus Garden is a Chinese restaurant in Vienna, Virginia specializing in hand-pulled noodles and authentic Cantonese cuisine. Diners consistently praise their freshly made noodles, particularly when paired with roast duck or beef brisket. While many highlight the restaurant's authentic flavors and reasonable prices, recent reviews indicate inconsistent service quality and occasional issues with food temperature. The restaurant features a visible noodle-making station where customers can watch the chef prepare hand-pulled noodles. Their seafood preparation receives particular acclaim from those familiar with Hong Kong-style cooking. Notable menu items include the salted fish and chicken fried rice, knife-cut noodles, and traditional Cantonese dishes. Several customers mention the restaurant gets particularly busy during peak hours, and it's worth noting the hand-pulled noodle chef takes Tuesdays off.
Best Times to Visit
Visit Lotus Garden for lunch on weekdays or early dinners on weekends. Arrive before peak hours (11:30 AM-1 PM, 6-8 PM) to avoid crowds and ensure prompt service. Reservations recommended for larger groups.
