About Lotus Chinese Express

Lotus Chinese Express is a chinese restaurant in McAllen, Texas. It is listed at 4300 S Ware Rd, McAllen, TX 78503, which places it among the local businesses of McAllen that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in McAllen; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Texas are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 am–8 pm. Note that it does not open on Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (956) 249-7075. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is lotuschineseexpress.my.canva.site, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 42 reviews, which is a strong result for a chinese restaurant in McAllen and suggests consistent service.

McAllen is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat.

This was my first time stopping by and trying Lotus Chinese Express. I had come across a review of them a while back on Facebook, and I wanted to try their food for a good few months. Fortunately, I was able to try them around a week ago and I will be back soon! Their hot and sour soup is the best I’ve tried and I have tried lots of hot and sour soups. I love that their hot and sour soup has thick pieces of mushrooms and overall the flavor on it is delicious–the soup is comforting and very cozy! I had asked if they had chicken egg rolls and spring rolls but they had neither, they did have pork egg rolls and I am pretty picky when it comes to egg rolls but their pork egg rolls were delicious, decadent, fresh, hot and crispy! I also ordered a side of crab puffs which were fresh, hot and crispy. I went with their plate of coconut shrimp and Lo Mein and the coconut shrimp was like no other shrimp I’ve had, the shrimp they use for their coconut shrimp are huge and well portioned and the coconut topping as well as the sauce for them is addicting! For me personally, I feel like their regular Lo Mein without any add-ons could use a bit more flavor. I do love anything Chinese and Oriental a

I googled Chinese food near me when my usual place wasn't open. I saw the rating and decided to try them myself. I was not disappointed. I ordered the broccoli beef and fried rice special. The beef and broccoli was super good. The sauce was savory and the beef was tender. The fried rice was ACTUALLY fried rice.it had texture and tasted great with minimal peas and carrots ( if I wanted veggies I would have ordered some lol ) so that was a plus. It came with an egg roll which was good. Everything was hot and fresh. At first, I was confused about the location. I was expecting a building, but it was in the same lot as the taco trucks. That didn't bother me one bit because I love to eat and try new places. Seating is outdoors. Its worth the drive which I'll be making again in a few days lol . This time im going to try another dish from here. I'll post up on that when I do.

This is my first time trying out Lotus Chinese Express and I will be back! First of all, the food was still hot by the time I got home! They make everything fresh. I got the broccoli beef daily special with lo mein, it also comes with an egg roll. The egg roll is so delicious and fresh. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and so was the beef. The flavor was super good. The lo mein is also good but I do prefer the fried rice. I also got the chicken fried rice! It is a big portion I was not expecting that much! The fried rice is super yummy and has lots of flavor. I will be coming back in the future! I had been looking for a new place to buy fried rice and I found my new go to place! This could feed several people with how big the portions are! I was not expecting this amount of food.
