We has lemon chick'n, sweet and sour balls, veggies and chick'n in peppercorn sauce and vegetable fried rice. Delicious!
I'm not at all a fan of Chinese food other than Indian-Chinese but wow I was truly impressed with this place. The service was helpful and friendly, the food was steaming hot for pick up and everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered the Shanghai noodles, the mapu tofu (could have been spicier), the oyster mushroom "calamari" (salted spicy oyster mushroom on the menu) and the hostess' recommendation of the turnip cake. Every single thing was delicious and the portions were huge! Not at all salty or overpowering like the food can sometimes be. Highly recommend!
Amazing veggie/vegan Chinese food dishes. After going vegan 5 years ago I’ve dreamed of enjoying saucy and delicious chow mein noodles again… this fits the bill. I wish there were more places like this. Great service, very friendly. Two of us got the two item combo and it was perfect, not pictured was two spring rolls. Highly recommend and will be back again!
the mock meat is very impressive. the service was super fast and friendly. couldn’t be more pleased! we ordered combos: the tofu, pineapple balls, and mock chicken were superb!
Food was great. Got the veg fish in pekking sauce and the Buddha’s delight, as well as they turnip cake.Wait time was close to an hour, and they are currently not doing dine in, take out only.
Pretty good price for all the food we got! Although was not a big fan of the sweet and sour sauce, tasted a little too gingery and watered down for me. Loved all the mock meat options offered though, would buy from again!
It doesn’t feel like a vegetarian restaurant because they have have dishes that have meat like texture and are delicious. Honestly this isn’t like anything else I have tried. It’s more authentic Chinese and service is generally good. Works for both eastern or western eaters.
BEST CHINESE FOOD EVER!! Love that it began too!! Their prices are great and portion are huge! Have yet to be disappointed and don’t think I ever will be. This restaurant is a must visit.
One of the best vegetarian Chinese restaurants in BC. The ginger soy beef and spicy chow mein were delicious. We order from here every time we visit Victoria. So many options for vegetarians/vegans and really quick service
I rode my bicycle to Lotus Pond from Vic West. I spoke to Laithe on the phone as I made my order. As I have remarked in my earlier review of Affinity Vegetarian Garden, it is uncommon to find a completely vegan Chinese restaurant. Lotus Pond does a plant-based spin on the Americanized Chinese classic. I was not in love with the packaging, but I appreciate their desire to keep everyone safe by restricting their dine in services. I enjoyed the meal, encouraging anyone who is considering Chinese takeout, to opt for Lotus Pond.
