this restaurant was my favourite when I was a student and I've just returned to eat there again after 10 years. the same wonderful taste and atmosphere, I already can't wait to come back again to try more of the menu!
Wonderful plant-based oriental restaurant and take away in Withington near the Christie. I have eaten in the restaurant several tines, this is the first time I have had a take away and I was not disappointed. I have the char siu bao, 3 delicious and fluffy bao buns for £7.20. I also had Thai “chicken”green curry hot pot, £13.50, absolutely delicious. Lovely service and food was cooked quickly, but with care. Best Thai curry and Bao, I have had in ages. Highly recommended. On street parking available or park you bike outside, a cycle path goes right past it.
I think this might be the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to in Manchester! Amazing menu with a great variety of dishes. I don’t eat vegan or vegetarian food usually but got recommended to come here and safe to say I was not disappointed!! I am amazed with how traditional Asian dishes can be made vegan. I am so impressed and I’d definitely come back again! Staff were very friendly and helpful too :)
Went to this Chinese vegan resto for dinner with my partner on Sunday night and had a good time and had a lovely meal! We ordered some off-menu dishes as recommended by the helpful waitress Annie, like Gluten Puffs Trio (三色齋）, Deep Fried “Pork Intestines” (mock meat, 炸大腸）, spicy & sour soup, fried dumpling spicy soup, a spicy fish-mock meat with green beans dish with a taste of Thai, a fried rice with ginger, a fried raspberry flavoured ice-cream, and got a yummy fried red-bean pancake! Highly recommend this resto to anyone who isn’t even a vegan, we were so full and satisfied, defo one of the best Chinese vegan restaurants in Manchester!
Visited yesterday. Knew the food would be good because I've been before but I just wanted to leave a review to say how amazing the service was. So polite, attentive and to be honest the best restaurant service I've had in a while! Also, as they were about to shut the kitchen, an elderly gentleman who i assume must be a regular came in and they didnt even tell him they were closing, they just served him and it honestly warmed my cold icy heart ❤️ 100% recommend a visit.
This is my favourite place ever, have tried every single item on the menu in the past couple of years. Food is vegetarian/vegan and there is absolutely no compromise in terms of taste. Bao buns are my absolute must haves. Presentation is excellent and so is the service. The jasmine tea is sublime. Highly recommend!
I just had my meal in this restaurant and I must say it was fantastic! The waiter was really nice, the portion sizes are good and the food is delicious and well presented. If you visit Manchester this is an amazing restaurant for you to visit!
Excellent tasting food, definitely going back. Every item cooked well, great choices of dim sum and many of your Chinese favourites, all vegan of course, and without onions and garlic.
Impressive well crafted Chinese vegan dishes. Our photos were after initially tasting, that’s why empty places. It’s very difficult to make the dumpling pastry vegan and retain the correct texture for the dumplings and dim sum. Congrats to the chef. Flavours excellent and service very polite, friendly. Portion sizes are good and filling. We ordered 8 items between 2 adult, 1 child, we were very full and satisfied.
Second visit to Lotus. What a fantastic restaurant with an enormous, delicious menu! Definitely in a league of its own. The service is impeccable and the food is to die for. So much variety and so many different flavours which is such a rarity in a plant based restaurant. I highly highly recommend this restaurant. Clean, great service, wonderful food and lovely presentation. Mouth is watering writing this review!
