Generally pretty quick delivery, within 20 minutes, can be a bit busier on weekends. Food is always hot and usually good. Great for local convenience if you don't want to cook and want a Chinese. They deliver locally and you get free dishes depending on how much you spend.

We travelled to Blaenavon for a bank holiday break; both myself and my partner were very impressed with the quality of the food cooked here possibly the best Chinese for we have had outside of China.

Ordered over £40 worth of food to be delivered. When it arrived the order was incorrect, so we contacted them and they did replace the rice dishes. The chicken balls had so much batter around them it was more like bread. 2 of us found hair actually inside the batter. Will definitely not be using them again, will jump in the car and find somewhere else.

Went for a late night snack on my way home,never been there before,although i live local,i was starving,had chicken balls and sweet and sour sauce,the sauce was ok,but the so called chicken balls where awful,they were not balls they were like strips i couldnt find the chicken for the batter,the batter was so thick and greasy when you bit into them it was really bad,i landed up feeding them to my dogs,for the price they were bad,never go there again,i usually buy from out of town.

I have used the Lotus in Broad Street several times and have yet to have a bad meal. The food is excellent, with a wide menu for a takeaway.
