Excellent food and friendly service. I don't know about healthy though (there's plenty of oil and sugar and food coloring), but definitely very, very tasty! I go once a week and am never dissapointed. Lotus Delight is a family fave as is the vegetable chow mein and deep-friend "prawns" appetizer.
This is absolutely my favorite restaurant on the planet!! When I lived in Eugene, I ate here at least 4-5 times a week, and I still couldn't get enough. Everything is 100% vegan!! By far the best-tasting, best-textured mock meats I've ever had anywhere. I've had every single dish on the menu, there's not a single "bad" dish. I love love LOVE their Lotus Delight (used to be called Hunan Veggie Beef). I love their Sweet and Sour Veggie Shrimp. Their hot and sour soup is amazing, as is their wonton soup. Their chow mein is SO delicious too. And all their food *feels* so healthy (well I don't know anything about the nutrition content, but their food never feels greasy). It makes me want to cry that I no longer live in Oregon and can't eat at Lotus Garden. :( Every time I go to visit my folks in Corvallis, I always make a journey to Eugene to eat at Lotus Garden.
Huge portions, and incredible all-vegan Chinese food. The decor leaves a little to be desired, but the food more than makes up for it. Top notch!
