This was a unexpected gem. First , you walk in and seat yourself. You are able to order and pay for your food via link you scan on your phone. The portion size was perfect. We ordered the chicken fried rice, beef and broccoli, salt and pepper shrimp and orange chicken. They were playing 90s and early 2000s music. They also sell cocktails in addition to their regular drinks. The food was flavorful and fresh. I would definitely recommend and will visit again before I leave. There were quite a few items that were sold out I wanted to try but hoping my next go round they will be available.

One stop Chinese at the Domain. Got the Veggie steamed dumplings filled with veggies , spinach. The service was good and quick, Had a lot of spots to sit. It is right next to a parking spot so makes it easier to stop by.

During a recent visit to Lotus Chinese near Domain in Austin, Texas, I had a great dining experience. We started with the steamed veggie dumplings wrapped in spinach, which were both healthy and delicious. The dumplings were generously portioned with six pieces, making it a satisfying appetizer. Service at Lotus Chinese was notably efficient, with our food arriving promptly. The staff was courteous and attentive. The ambience was comfortable.

Came here for a quick lunch between shopping. We were pleasantly surprised by the rainbow dumpling platter. Ordered two and a side of broccoli which was perfectly steamed. Service was quick, food was flavorful. Would return for the dumplings!

My office hosted a luncheon catered by Lotus Chinese and I didn't know what to expect. Needless to say, everyone enjoyed their meals. I tried everything from the Chicken Basil dumpling, Vegetable Spring Roll, Sweet & Sour Sesame Chicken and Egg Fried Rice. Overall pleasant experience, and looking forward to dining at the restaurant next time I'm around the Domain.

I've walked past this place many times and decided finally to try it. Like others have mentioned, there's pretty much no service - you seat yourself, you order by QR code, and you pay through the website you ordered from. I actually don't mind this because it makes for a casual and easy experience. Pork dumplings - 4/5, a very standard Chinese dumpling. They came out cold the first time but the kitchen remade it for us with no hassle. Pork XLB - 2/5, two of the three came broken and they are on the greasy side. Dan dan noodle - 5/5, I actually really liked this. I had almost no expectations walking in but this dish satisfied my craving. The portion of meat is large and very filling. Flavor is yummy and authentic. Orange chicken - 3/5, my boyfriend is an orange chicken lover and he wasn't into this. My take is that this orange chicken is a little healthier than what you might find at your usual American-Chinese spot; the breading is crispy but not thick, and the sauce actually tastes like orange peel and not grossly sweet. Personally, I think it's decent but this is not a dish I ever order for myself. Overall, Lotus Chinese isn't bad but if there aren't any tables available, I wouldn't say it's worth a wait.
