Reviews for Lotus Pond Vegetarian Restaurant in Victoria, BC

We has lemon chick'n, sweet and sour balls, veggies and chick'n in peppercorn sauce and vegetable fried rice. Delicious!

I'm not at all a fan of Chinese food other than Indian-Chinese but wow I was truly impressed with this place. The service was... helpful and friendly, the food was steaming hot for pick up and everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered the Shanghainoodles, the mapu tofu (could have been spicier), the oyster mushroom "calamari" (salted spicy oyster mushroom on the menu) andthe hostess' recommendation of the turnip cake. Every single thing was delicious and the portions were huge! Not at all salty oroverpowering like the food can sometimes be. Highly recommend! Read more

Amazing veggie/vegan Chinese food dishes. After going vegan 5 years ago I?ve dreamed of enjoying saucy and delicious chow mein... noodles again? this fits the bill. I wish there were more places like this. Great service, very friendly. Two of us got the twoitem combo and it was perfect, not pictured was two spring rolls. Highly recommend and will be back again!

Pretty good price for all the food we got! Although was not a big fan of the sweet and sour sauce, tasted a little too gingery... and watered down for me. Loved all the mock meat options offered though, would buy from again! Read more

It doesn?t feel like a vegetarian restaurant because they have have dishes that have meat like texture and are delicious.... Honestly this isn?t like anything else I have tried. It?s more authentic Chinese and service is generally good. Works for botheastern or western eaters. Read more

I rode my bicycle to Lotus Pond from Vic West. I spoke to Laithe on the phone as I made my order. As I have remarked in my... earlier review of Affinity Vegetarian Garden, it is uncommon to find a completely vegan Chinese restaurant. Lotus Pond does aplant-based spin on the Americanized Chinese classic. I was not in love with the packaging, but I appreciate their desire tokeep everyone safe by restricting their dine in services. I enjoyed the meal, encouraging anyone who is considering Chinesetakeout, to opt for Lotus Pond. Read more

Delicious food. The texture of mock duck was on point. Turnip cakes were good. I wasn't impressed with the wanton soup. Don't... expect cheap & greasy Chinese fare. The food here is homey yet sophisticated, without feeling too healthful. Read more
