Q: Decent appetizers. HORRIBLE SERVICE! Food is not worth the horrible service. Sbarro across the street gives you better bang for your buck

Q: Funny little hole in the wall that I found interesting...I would always see a bunch of Chinese people outside smoking on my way home. If I didnt see it, I would think to write it off as one of those cheap fast food Chinese counters. I asked my BF about it and he said that long ago when we worked in the area his coworker would often have to order for them there in Chinese....he even sent my BF with a little note when he had to pick up. Anyways, I do really like the food here. I know I'm not Chinese but part of my family is-my half brothers are, my godfather is Chinese and we went to Hong Kong to visit him so I grew up on a lot of authentic foods....this is authentic and everything we've gotten has been really good. No "just okay" foods mixed in with standouts- everything has been home cooking authentic. I think it's funny though how a lot of authentic places kinda treat us ignorant. Me looking like an Asian, but not quite easy to place and my gweilo BF I suppose don't look like lovers of the OG dishes. Like BF went to pick up food for us once and ordered half Ginger Scallion Chicken once and they thought they better tell this whitey "has bone. it okay?" hahaha. I get it though, I've seen some funny exchanges of dumbasses who think this is Panda Express. Before my BF ordered the guy had an exchange with a father and son all mad that Fried Rice is a la carte and doesnt come with orange chicken like it does at Panda Express so they left. It probably helped that dudes frustrations with Gwailos extend to us. Saying Hello in Canto helps before I order. Food wise, this is probably my favorite Chinese spot. It's so much like home...Salty Fish Fried Rice is comfort at its best, Salt and Pepper Pork chops here are the best I've had in Vegas, mmm eggplant hotpot is soo delicious, Walnut shrimp is great (and its cheap compared to everywhere else!), duck is crispy skinned yet juicy and tender meat, veggies with XO sauce is bomb, salty egg pork was comfort for me though BF did not like, Chow fun was so perfectly cooked and flavored and I dont even really like Chow Fun! I'm done listing because I'll probably have a comment for everything on the menu. Yeah I cannot wait whenever we say we're coming here to eat as I can always find something that hits that comfort spot and this spot in me that gets warm thinking about childhood foods. I love that feeling and I have gotten that everytime so far.

Q: My review is not about the food. Came for drinks with friends. Bartenders were unbelievably rude. Also they had to look up in a drink book how to make a dirty martini. (which they ended up putting sweet vermouth in) Worst. Bar. Experience. Ever.

Q: Lotus sits in a ghetto Korean plaza away from the Strip. And so I was a bit concerned until I saw the line of customers forming by the door before the restaurant even opened. The interior is much larger than you'd expect and much nicer than you would hope. The restaurant runs like a well oiled machine. Customers are seated quickly and orders are completed quickly in what I'd imagine to be a gigantic kitchen. Staff is also attentive and prompt. I suggest Pad Thai - good #58 - don't remember what it was, just eat it with the lettuce it sits on Papaya Salad - fresh and strong I ordered the crispy garlic prawn as many yelpers suggested and was not impressed.. 4 stars because of high prices and below average quantity; will still return.
