Lotus Garden Restaurant - Barrington

Can't really give a rating for atmosphere, it's take out only. Egg rolls were good, chicken balls a little dry but good, rice and ribs I had were good as well.

Picked up a combo 2 today, was really good. Still take out only

We arrived at 6:45 pm and it was packed. We got a nice table for the 5 of us . we ordered everything we could imagine . fried wontons ,egg rolls ,hot&spicy chicken,wonton soup,wings .shanghai noodles 1A rice and it was delicious. Staff were excellent, service fast and friendly. A great meal worth the snowy drive .

Food is pretty satisfying. Surely don’t come for the service!!!! We were frozen and when I tried to get someone’s attention to maybe turn up the heat. I was met with major attitude. Also asked about general tao sauce and was told that’s an exclusive for the buffet that was starting 2 hour after we arrived. Cool, except she was bringing that food out while I was there and still I was refused to buy any for my meal. Such a disappointment.

Arrive hungry. The egg rolls are excellent, combination plates are varied and interesting, and Chinese dishes are well-prepared with crispy vegetables, nicely balanced. The only thing I’d ask for is slightly longer hours — 7 pm closing is awfully early for a Chinese restaurant!
