Best Chinese across three states

by CravinAsian at Citysearch

Traveling from NC to GA for almost a year I've eaten at many Asian restaurants, on recommendations of locals, and there's not one that I've been to twice ... until now. Last week I was in a retail shop and overheard a conversation at the cashier station. The shopper had just come from Green Lotus or was on her way. Her description of just the Fried Rice (of which I'm not a fan) made me curious enough to visit. Am I glad I did. I've eaten there three times since last week, with my fiancee who is a local but had never eaten here. The Won Ton Soup is divine. Won Ton's are light and tender; Chinese Noodles are broad, crispy and addictive. The only appetizer I've had are the Pot Stickers, excellent. Entrees: Phoenix and Dragon, Teriyaki Chicken, Sesame Chicken and Mongolian Beef ... all with Fried Rice. The food is so flavorful and fresh I would be hard pressed to believe anything was mass produced ahead of time. If you have to wait for your soup to be prepared, it's worth it!

• Pros: Freshly prepared, attentive/pleasant staff, excellent value
• Cons: Closed on Tuesday

Thankful for Green Lotus!

by Asiangourmet at Citysearch

I have to wonder if the nasty review was written by a competitor. We've been going to Green Lotus since they opened. We've ordered every item on their menu in those years. We've had them deliver food as well as eat in and never had poor quality food. The ingredients are always fresh and the food is well-prepared and delicious. The service is prompt and the wait staff is efficient and friendly. If you are fortunate enough to live within their delivery area, you will be in for another treat. They deliver before the promised time and the food is as fresh as if it just came out of the kitchen. We're very happy Green Lotus is in our neighborhood.

• Pros: Great dining experience. Small, friendly place with delicious, high quality food.
• Cons: Closed on Tuesdays

Best Chinese Restaurant/Delivery in Austell/Smyrna

by 1LoJack at Citysearch

I have to disagree with any negative reviews on this little restaurant hidden on the E/W Conn in Austell/Smyrna. I have NEVER had anything that wasn't excellent. I am personally a chicken/seafood gal but their Mongolian Beef is too die for. Even my husband who does not care for Chinese food, we have more of a flair for Sushi, he absolutely loves the Mongolian Beef as well. We have gotten nothing but great service/fast delivery, always. They know me by name and whenever I call it's almost as if they already know what we are ordering and it's on it's way. OH, don't let me forget to mention the Crab Ragoon (excuse any misspelled words) In fact, we're awaiting the arrival of our order as I am writing this to you. I'm sure the food will be here pretty soon, so it's time to kick off the shoes, pour something to drink and get ready to feast. As we always order a little bit of everything. Oops! I've got to feed my Pomeranian before the food gets here. got to go, Say bye for now!

• Pros: Great food, fast delivery, good prices
• Cons: we like it for the fast delivery service, it's a little small place, I've never eaten in always delivery

Authentic Chinese Quisine

by gamongrel at Citysearch

Authentic Chinese Quisine, prompt delivery, always uses fresh ingredients, has the good spicy mustard i love, and the crispy fried eggrolls (spring rolls too if you like that), can substitute for fried rice, "We can alter the spice according to your taste"

According to the new menu we got tonight, they even have a Sunday Brunch Special - 5.65/person 11:30a-3pm.

Located behind on the back row of the shops in the shopping center, behind the coffeshop.

My favorite 'local' chinese restaurant!

• Pros: Fresh Vegetables
• Cons: not the best of restaurant atmosphere, but then i go there for the food

Hiddden jewel in Austell/Smyrna/Mableton area

by rochelleh at Citysearch

The food at Green Lotus is freshly prepared without all of the gook and grease. This is a healthy alternative to fast food and the prices are great. The restuarant is very clean and the poeple are friendly and accomodating. They also deliver and they stay open late; 10pm on Sun-Thurs. and 11pm on Fri. and Sat. I highly recommend this restaurant.

• Pros: freshly prepared meals, great prices, stays open late
• Cons: can't see the location from the street

Little known but Excellent Chinese

by stephenofgeorgia at Citysearch

We have made this our 'home' Chinese Restuarant. It is close to home, they deliver, but the staff are quick to sit you even when they are busy. The service is Excellent. The food is out-of-this-world. They will modify the order to your requests.... as in Extra Spicy, etc. They are very friendly and you just want to go back again & again. We would rather go to their little "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant rather than have it delivered.

• Pros: Food , Service, Value
• Cons: Somewhat cramped
