If I was in the area for longer, I would have visited many more times! Unfortunately I was just passing through. I want to begin with the absolute amazing customer service, friendly from taking my order on the phone to picking up my food. The food was great as well. Overall, I highly recommend Lotus!

I decided to stop here for lunch since I was shopping in the area and I have been craving Chinese food. The place is in front kohl's store and it looks dated on the inside. The menu is huge and I would order the calamari with the lunch Mongolian beef. I started with a strawberry margarita which must have been the biggest one I have ever had and it was terrible because it didn't even taste like strawberry and it wasn't blended correctly because it was half liquid on the bottom and ice on top.My food came quickly with the calamari being hot and the rest of my food like room temperature. The calamari was lightly battered and not bad but not the best. The chicken fried rice was flavorless for the most part with white meat chicken. The egg roll was tasty and slightly above average. The Mongolian beef was good but about 60% onions and not so much beef for the most part.Overall it was very average, not bad but nothing fantastic so I don't see myself ever going back.

Although I would categorize this restaurant as average o would say that the food can be a hit or mess depending on what you order. The ambiance is very much small business and family friendly. One thing I will say is the food can be a bit expensive and everything if not most of the menu is family servings so keep that in mind. I gave the restaurant a four star review because of the service we've had before. Servers has always been attentive and very friendly not to mention accommodating.

Excellent food and super friendly staff. They even went out of their way for our two young daughters to ensure they felt included.

Craving for sashimi and friend recommended Lotus. Made the 75 mins drive to MKE Lotus. Lots of parking and they got Mon/Tue lunch specials (lucky me!) There were only 4 tables on a Tue at 1:30 pm and we were seated immediately.Hostess/waitress took beverage orders immediately and asked for our orders. It was quite an extensive menu and needed some time.Ended up getting the sashimi bento where it came with gyoza, CA roll, some carrots/baby corns, 6 pieces of sashimi and my favorite shiso. Hubby got three rolls: Philadelphia, spicy salmon and something else. I'm not a huge fan of excessively sesame seeds; my bento was covered in sesame seeds from steamed white rice to veggies. But then I'm also not a huge rice fan (I know, shocking for being Chinese). CA rolls were good, nothing special on the deep fried gyoza, the quality and quantity of fish were ok as there were some membranes. Hubby said his rolls were good but the protein/rice ratio wasn't that good. We were both satisfied and left MKE. BUT I had to stop for restroom as my stomach was hurting and it wasn't good. Unsure if it was related to what I ate but I'm going to refrain myself from eating raw fish as I don't know the turnover rate in this restaurant. This place also offers hibachi and check out the 'show' if you haven't been. We did that at Benihana but not this place. The owners are from China and she was friendly.

I just want to throw into the world that something has to be extremely bad for me to leave a bad review. Often times I just chalk it up to places that don't seem to be for me, but I'm honestly in question on how this place is open. We ordered out and when my partner arrived to the restaurant he debated just walking out. There were two entirely abandoned fish tanks and the place smelt of old fish not making a good impression to start. My partner paid for our nearly $100 of takeout and was on his way home. The boneless ribs were not even close to what they should have been, basically just incredibly dry beef shavings and the sauce provided leaked all out of the container (at least over the ribs) but didn't do it any favors in terms of flavor or the fact that it was cooked way too long. Otherwise we mainly got sushi - not a great choice. Anything with fish, particularly raw fish, seemed literally fishy and inedible. There was salmon on on top of one of the rolls that was starting to turn brown, and it wasn't cooked for that particular roll. Nothing smelt good, nothing looked good. anything with fish smelt like old fish which good quality ingredients should not inherently smell, particularly like old rotting fish. The basc rolls that were cooked and had no raw components felt like they were never even warm. There was a yam tempura roll that had chopped pieces of yam... With tempura in the middle I guess? And it was extremely cold and just tasted like bland rice and old oil. There was some pink sauce that we didn't understand what it was supposed to be... I think most sauces were supposed to be an eel sauce but it was literally radioactive glowing pink sauce that none of us understood what it was and perhaps was trying to cover up the color of old rotting fish.We spent way too much money to end up throwing everything away after the most basic bites and refusing to eat anything raw as we felt we would get sick. Will never order from here again and honestly surprised they are still in business as I think there would be a good handful of health code violations between the restaurant ambiance and the food itself. Save yourself the money and find somewhere else to eat. Or at least don't order anything with raw fish.

I order from here occasionally. I usually order from the Chinese side of the menu and not from the Japanese, only because of my own preferences. The food is always good and plentiful. They're a little pricey but the quality is great. Give them a try.
