Lotus Chinese Restaurant

Sunday lunch buffet at R 268 is not worth it. Facebook advertised as R 199. The restaurant is super clean and not crowded so you feel relaxed but it does feel like a canteen and not a traditional Chinese restaurant. The waiters are friendly and clear your plates quickly. The downside is the price and what food is on offer, they do not match. The cooked food is tasty but the sushi needs decent salmon portions and more variety like salmon hand rolls and tuna sashimi etc. Anyone can buy sweet and sour chicken and bok Choi and not spend R 268 on that. The sushi is fresh but scanty. Disappointment from Lizzy when she asked us for more money after giving her a 10% tip for bringing us water and clearing a plate. Bad manners to haggle patrons who feel as though they have already been swindled. Probably better to have a normal dinner or lunch there vs. a buffet as I have heard many good things.

Wow. Words simply cannot do this place justice. The food is phenomenal! Hot, fresh, brought to your table quickly after ordering. The staff go beyond just the extra mile and Ilene is a beautiful person.

Ignore any bad reviews and place give this place a try! They really deserve the business.

Absolutely delicious dishes, served hot straight out the kitchen to your table. Tasty, yummy traditional Cantonese style cooking.

Sushi was really good and fresh.
Looking forward to trying dessert the next time round.

Decor is beautiful, plenty space between tables.
And the owner is friendly and courteous.

Delicious, freshly prepared traditional Chinese cuisine. Prices are on the high side, but portions are very generous and the food was truly divine. Ambience isn't amazing - lighting too bright and piano on repeat. Nevertheless, would go back!

Service is bad , food is bland, if u order 1 pot of green tea u pay for 2 because u want to share the pot. Coffee is R18 on menu but charged at R30 on final bill... Buffet doesn't get replenished sushi topped up twice in 2 hrs. People ordering off the menu looked happier with the food.... I will not recommend to anyone!

We had the buffet lunch on Sunday. It was good food at a reasonable price. I am told that the ambience was typically Chinese, but it felt a more like a cafeteria in our opinion. The variety was not not massive, but everyone could find something to their taste.

Attended a wedding here. They have a sound system and can accommodate up to 300 guests with safe underground parking. The price is very reasonable and caters to vegetarian, vegan and Jain vegetarian diet.
