Jade Lotus

I definitely urge everyone to visit Jade Lotus! The food was excellent, the décor was fabulous, the restaurant was very, very clean and the PuPu platter for two w/​lo mein special is the best since I moved to the New England area. The owners were super friendly enough to give us free soup while we were waiting since they were very busy with take out. The soup of the day was hot and sour soup and was made to perfection. As I am looking a recent review by Mandy C., I had the pancit bihon to try for take out after my delicious meal and let me tell ALL of you, the pancit tasted very good and authentic. I had pancit when i was in the Philippines for vacation just last winter and let me tell you this tasted SO MUCH better than the average pancit in Manila or Cebu and the owners are Filipino so I just don’t understand why Mandy C. you would say it’s not authentic… I was always told by filipinos in the Philippines and in Los Angeles to always squeeze the lemon on top that they offer you to add extra flavor. The restaurant is very easy to navigate as if because it’s right off the highway. I urge everyone to come visit JadeLotus!

We had high expectations for this restaurant as it has had a great overhaul and the décor is really quite lovely. And that is where the goodness for us ended on this lunch.
Jade Lotus is an Asian fusion concept restaurant boasting Filipino, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese offerings. I was personally thrilled about the Pancit, as it had been so long since I’d had the authentic delight… I guess I am still waiting.
We started out ordering hot tea and two orders of Wonton soup. Unfortunately, the waitress was unaware that there was no Wonton soup available. To their credit, she brought all three of us their house Egg Drop soup at no charge. The soup was hot, but tasteless and we had to add soy sauce for saltiness and siracha for a flavor… just one.
The tea was watered down. Even Chinese buffet tea is stronger.
Well, when the Pancit came (we ordered both styles), they were glorified Ramen. The vegetables were very fresh, but everything lacked flavor. It tasted like noodles with a Ramen packet sprinkled on top. Not authentic tasting at all. Additionally, every shrimp was not deveined. Shrimp poop, aka, shrit was everywhere! We decided to take everything to go at that point, rather than try for something else.
The waitress was very sweet and personable, the food was an absolute miss.
One more thing, do NOT eat the little green guava candy that comes with your check… it makes your breath smell like cat urine.

What a wonderful place to eat! The owner greeted us with such a warm welcome we instantly felt confident this would be a great experience! We ordered the veggie lomein, veggie rice, and teriyaki chicken. Our takeout came out at lightning speed (felt like minutes).
Food was cooked to perfection with the freshest veggies! Exquisite flavor served piping hot even after we got it home!
Something also is to be said on how much work these new owners have put into the space. The restaurant has been completely remodeled. What previously was a run down restaurant (different owners), has now been transformed into a beautiful, clean, exceptional dining space!
I urge everyone to check out Lotus!
