My family and I love consistency, and China Lotus has it. I have never had a bad meal there. The food is always fresh, always hot, always tasty (and my pallet can't wait to consume it). Eat in or pickup... it is always GREAT. Yes, the owner tends to be a little rough in her verbal skills (rarely), but I go there to eat, and I can ignore the little things. If you want great food and service... China Lotus. Since I RARELY give a perfect 5 Stars, China Louts gets 4.5 Stars.
