Restaurant Lotus in Wijk 00

The service alone is worth a visit. We ended up laughing at the whole experience. But let's start from the beginning. First off, the food was perfectly fine. When we arrived, the restaurant was practically empty, and there was no reaction from the staff. I went to the bar to say, "Hey, we're here, where can we sit?" The staff seemed engrossed in their own discussion and ignored me for quite some time. It was amusing to watch. After a while, the barky, almost incomprehensible staff asked what I wanted. My request for the round table by the window was met with a nonchalant, almost obligatory "Go ahead, we have more important things to do." After waiting a while at the table, the server returned with a sigh and asked what we wanted to drink. When we asked for the menu, she disappeared again. Eventually, the menu arrived and was handed to us with a behavior that was almost detrimental to business. We started to find it hilariously funny, and this continued at every table throughout the evening. The service really deserves 5 stars because of the unforgettable performance. As I said, the food was okay.

After a good first experience, today was a disaster. Watery, tasteless wonton soup, the chicken in the foe yun ha dish boiled, watery sauce; in short, skip it. A shame, no longer worth a visit.

Unfortunately, I had a very unpleasant experience with this restaurant. I had ordered food for delivery. I saw the delivery driver arriving from the window, and initially, he was driving almost entirely correctly. However, at the last turn, I saw him turn around and drive in the wrong direction again. That is why I called the restaurant immediately. I only wanted to mention that I had just seen the delivery driver driving from the window and ask if they could have him call me, so that I could easily direct him the last few hundred meters in the right direction. However, the woman on the phone reacted immediately and very aggressively and rudely. Instead of listening to my explanation, she kept shouting that I had entered the wrong address myself. I tried to explain that I work at a government agency location whose postal code is administratively linked to Lelystad, while the location is near Enkhuizen. Because of this, I cannot select the actual address when ordering and am forced to enter a street about 500 meters away. That is precisely why I had included additional information with the order and called when I saw the delivery driver driving the wrong way. Unfortunately, a normal conversation proved impossible. My explanation was barely listened to, and I was mostly shouted at. In the end, I just ended the call, as explaining further was a waste of energy. Despite the difficult delivery, I spoke to the delivery person politely and kindly. He was eventually able to find the location, and, as always, I simply gave him a tip for the extra mileage. To my surprise, I later discovered that my address has apparently been blocked following this incident. I find that very strange, considering I was the one who contacted them to resolve the problem properly. It is understandable that a delivery person might struggle to find an unusual location, and I fully understand that. However, what I do not understand is the way I was spoken to on the phone and the fact that my address was subsequently apparently blocked. It is a real shame, because with normal and friendly communication, this whole problem could have been resolved within a minute.

A very well-maintained and lovingly run restaurant. All dishes are well adapted to European tastes. Friendly and efficient service. We will gladly return.

Great restaurant, nice atmosphere, and delicious food.

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I'd gladly come again.

Service: It took a very long time to be served, no one came by during the meal, and when it was time to pay, we had to ask for someone and wait even longer. Food: None of the meat dishes were cooked through; the food we ordered was not what we expected. Our drinks were unevenly filled, and the drinks were barely carbonated. Atmosphere: It was okay; it's what you'd expect from an Indonesian restaurant. All in all: Paying over €20 per portion for this is an absolute rip-off.

I am very spoiled by the eponymous restaurant in Lunteren where we always go. We ordered the weekly menu with a portion of satay. I would prefer the babi pangang to be crispier, a bit less sweet, and have a more pronounced flavor with ginger. The satay was also very bland and sweet in taste. The beef tenderloin with black bean sauce was well-seasoned. Overall, not really bad, but not very special either. 3 stars is good, and I feel it is just missing something for that, hence 2 stars, although my gut feeling would tell me that on a 5-star scale, this restaurant sits in the middle.

Good food, and plenty of it too! Very nice and friendly service, clean restrooms, and an authentic Chinese atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Nice restaurant with good food. Would gladly return.

Loempia Lotus, highly recommended.

I like the fried bananas so much

Good Chinese food. Nicely decorated restaurant

An authentic 'Chinese' restaurant in the heart of Enkhuizen. Wide selection on the menu. Quiet, friendly service.

Delicious food and friendly service

Had a delicious meal in a good atmosphere. Top notch

We were disappointed. It used to be really good, but unfortunately, we felt it lacked flavor now. Barely sufficient. Delivery was fast.

Be careful if you order a vegetarian dish!! These people just serve nasi WITH meat and then claim it's not their fault. There's no vegetarian option in the menu. I won't order from them again.

We had a fantastic meal. Generous portions, free prawn crackers for ordering on their website, and fast delivery. We were very pleased again!

This time it wasn't good. Two lukewarm spring rolls. I took home a large cup of satay sauce. It was a small cup. Unfortunately, the owner wasn't there. Otherwise, it would have been fine. It was around 4:30.

Delicious food! But the Coke was flat, and the staff completely ignored us when we wanted to order or pay, even though the restaurant was empty. We always had to go to the counter…

Had to wait a long time to order drinks and before I got my drinks

Great restaurant, friendly service, delicious dishes for a great price!! Delicious food 😋👍

Beautiful restaurant, incredibly nice atmosphere, and delicious food. The portions are very generous for the low price. A truly great place to take the family or order food for home delivery. Five stars from me—truly fantastic!

This renowned restaurant has service and quality as its top priority, so you can safely eat here with the family.... Super 👍

After years of not eating at a Chinese restaurant, we thought we'd give it a try. Unfortunately, the atmosphere wasn't great; the dishes I ordered were served on a cold plate and then placed on a warming tray. Not tasty, except for the nasi goreng. Poorly tapped beers... no, not recommended. A shame about our lovely day in picturesque Enkhuizen.

The food was delicious and really fair for the price. The staff was very friendly. It was also beautifully decorated and we had a wonderful time all around. I was there with both children.

Friendly people, we've had several delicious meals with family. Few vegetarian options, though.

We went for the three-course menu with drinks included and let the chef surprise us, which is highly recommended! What makes this restaurant so unique is the owner's personal approach, which makes you feel truly welcome—a truly special experience.

Excellent Chinese restaurant. Delicious food and friendly service.

The food was delicious. Tjap tjoy with delicious crispy vegetables and tender chicken. The service was friendly and pleasant.

Delicious Tjap Tjoy with crispy vegetables

Really delicious food and friendly waitresses

Food very bad... furnishings from the 60s

Everything has come to an end over the years... those Speisekarte... those Toilets.... Cheffin immer friendly.... Restaurant nie fulll....chinesisch essen gehen ist out The food is lukewarm again. Waited a long time because of to Go orders have priority Reordered drinks did not arrive. Service doesn't say much...unfriendly

Excellent rice table from the chef.

Very good Chinese, with a larger group, everything you want comes on a rotating plato. Delicious food and pleasant, nice service! A year later We were very disappointed, the food was lukewarm, we were given little choice on our Carousel, we had to wait a very long time for drinks and dessert. The waitress who always has everything well taken care of was not there. Too bad, another time x I don't think so

After all the years of eating well there, it was now just bad # lukewarm food # poor service # we were with 2 round tables then you can expect to receive food and drinks and dessert at the same time. When you eat with a carroucel you expect 4 different dishes, but that was not the case. Very unfortunate We just MISSED the regular waiter then it was always good for each other...will it happen again next time?!

We had a delicious meal at Lotus tonight.

Celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary, it was fantastic, delicious food, big 10

Good place for delicious food. We were there with the family and celebrated grandma's 80th birthday.

Had a delicious meal today A good restaurant with a very friendly hostess Definitely recommended Had a great evening

Excellent restaurant with friendly service. The food was good but not special. Worth repeating.

Another beautiful old school restaurant! Great place for an Indian takeaway meal, also a nice location to eat with friends and family. The staff is very friendly and the dishes are ready for you very quickly

The wand tan soup was good. The Bami Chicken with Kroepoek and Ajtar was a disaster. The chicken was obviously very old, the crust was tough and barely edible. The Kroepoek was not there even though it was listed on the menu. The Ajtar was a sweet and sour sauce without any spiciness. The Bami noodles were garnished with pressed ham, which has no place on a Chinese-Indonesian dish. The restaurant is actually quite nice, the Kroepoek was delivered later and the bill was reduced after my complaint. Otherwise I wouldn't have given a star at all.

Because it was raining, I didn't want to cycle to my permanent address in Grootebroek, so I ordered here. Spring rolls were bland and the foe yung hai was very poorly filled and sauce was watery. Shame

I ate a bat from a Chinese plate Bllleeee.

Deliciously eaten nasi with babi pangang as it should be!

Mihoen tasted sweet. Just very strange. The babipang sauce was watery, weird sweetness. The way a sweetener can taste. Both not recommended. Tousie sauce, watery. So become a different Chinese!

The Chinese in our village was closed so we decided to give Lotus a try. We had the food delivered to our home, but the spring rolls were very soggy and the foe yong hai smelled and tasted very sour. When we called about this we were told that it probably did not suit our taste. Very bad service. Very sorry!

Excellent food for a reasonable price. Although the restaurant was not full, it did take quite a while until the first course was served. Furthermore, neat and friendly staff and a neat restaurant.

This is Chinese as Chinese should be. In a word, great.

It was not busy in this lovely restaurant. One operated the whole place. Good menu and options. Food was fine and hot. Kept warm while eating. More than enough per person. Good price-quality ratio.

Fantastic restaurant with perfect menus. But also nice and friendly service.

Iron in the food. In between, there was no question whether everything was to your liking.

A full restaurant on Saturday evening. That is a good sign. It is really delicious to taste. Fast and smooth operation.

We made reservations on a busy Saturday evening. 1 girl serving for the entire restaurant. She was busy. But she doesn't see what she needs to see, for example that there are no napkins and cutlery on the table yet. It took a long time before we got our drinks. Also long before we received our soup and even longer before the food was served (we had now been more than 1.5 hours further) and with a view of the bar one bag of orders went out the door after another (Those customers are apparently more important than the guests) while several tables around us also started grumbling. Our glass had been empty for a long time and eventually we were asked if we wanted something to drink, only when we asked the waiter about our food. Fortunately, the food was tasty, but it is a pity that it is served on cold plates and placed on the warming plate, which cools it down quickly. Our own plate was warm. After dinner we were both done, paid and drove to McDonalds for our dessert 😝. As an apology, it was said that they were busy with takeout and delivery. Well, we will NEVER COME BACK AGAIN!

Typical Asian restaurant. Polite service. When we were there, only two other guests. The dishes as expected.

We have been ordering from Lotus for about 24 years, but in the last year/2 years the prices have risen enormously. Now they no longer increase the price but deliver half portions and very low in salt. We can no longer order satay babi and they only have that tasteless chicken satay. Since you are required to tip after every order, we have no longer tipped. Today we ordered from Lotus for the last time and from now on we will collect ourselves from Danny's Garden in Andijk. Unfortunately also a bit bland, but at least you still get normal portions.

Unfortunately everything was lukewarm and bland

Delicious food, very tasty, worth repeating. And thank you for the beautiful calendar.

cheap ingredients, Served lukewarm.

The spare ribs are not cooked, it is yellow, very tough and for people with braces it is inedible.

Delicious food at a reasonable price. Friendly service! Recommended..

Nettes Restaurant. Die Einrichtung ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber das Ambiente ist typisch für asiatische Restaurants. Die Speisen sind gut und reichlich. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis stimmt.

Heerlijk gegeten, vriendelijke bediening

Food really tasty and affordable, we'll definitely come back!

Sehr lecker Gerichte, sehr nettes Personal. Sehr günstige Preise. Sehr gerne wieder.

Eten was niet verkeerd, maar ontzettend flauw. Had voor ons meer smaak aan mogen zitten

Echt ontzettend lekker gegeten. Hele vriendelijke bediening.

Goed restaurant. Lekker eten.beleefde bediening. Ouderwets na afloop nog de warme doek om de handen schoon te maken, heel fijn.

Freundliche Bedienung, frische Zubereitung, gute Auswahl, schmackhafte Gerichte, angemessene Preise. Gastraum bis auf zwei Tische am Fenster leider ohne Tageslicht.

Heerlijk, rustig en genoeg gegeten. Vriendelijke bediening. Prijs is ook nog schappelijk.

Verschrikkelijk lekkere bamisoep gegeten

Super lekkere chinees. Ossen haas was super mals. Kip mals en smakelijk. Kom zeker nog eens terug.

Heerlijk gegeten. Nette bediening

Voor het eerst hier eten gehaald en het was heerlijk.

pekingente war lecker aber die nudelgerichte haben leider garnicht geschmeckt. außerdem dauert es etwas länger bis man bedient wird.

Het eten was erg lekker, rijsttafel van de chef, smakelijk en met veel verse groenten. Ook ging het snel.

Altijd lekker eten daar en gezellig. Kan vragen als je iets anders wilt Altijd te regelen .

Je hebt smaakvolle chinezen en je hebt deze tent. Wat een smakeloze brok kauwgom. Ik weet dat Chinees eten aangepast is aan de Nederlandse smaak en ik zag de bejaarden die hier aten, maar dit eten is zo smakeloos dat ik hier nooit meer kom. Wat een grauwe bende.

Eten gehaald altijd lekker... Babi pangang

Mijn recente bezoek aan dit restaurant was verre van aangenaam, en ik kan het helaas niet aanbevelen aan anderen. Op een drukke zaterdagavond waren er opvallende tekortkomingen. Het eerste probleem was dat er slechts één medewerker was om alle tafels te bedienen. Hierdoor ontstond een onvermijdelijke vertraging in de service. Het duurde maar liefst 40 minuten voordat we het menu ontvingen, wat ronduit frustrerend was. Bovendien liet de hygiëne in het restaurant veel te wensen over. Het tafelkleed vertoonde duidelijke gebruiksvlekken en leek niet te zijn verschoond voor onze aankomst. Dit gaf me een ongemakkelijk gevoel tijdens het dineren. Bovendien waren er geen servetten aanwezig, en ontbraken essentiële condimenten zoals sauzen, zout en sambal. Zelfs de mand met kroepoek, een eenvoudig bijgerecht, moesten we specifiek om vragen. Dit gebrek aan aandacht voor detail en basisbenodigdheden was een afknapper en droeg bij aan de algehele slechte ervaring. Het meest teleurstellende aspect was echter het eten zelf. Als liefhebber van de Aziatische keuken had ik gehoopt op smaakvolle en uitgesproken gerechten. Helaas was het eten smakeloos en flauw, ver beneden de normen die je zou verwachten. Al met al was mijn bezoek aan dit restaurant op een zaterdagavond een teleurstelling. De trage service, gebrek aan hygiëne en essentiële tafelbenodigdheden, en het smakeloze eten maakten het een negatieve ervaring.

Ik vond het niet echt fantastisch maar ik ben ook niet de persoon van Chinees eten. Ik heb teveel Chinese keukens gezien. Er was iemand jarig en die vierde dat met een etentje, vandaar. Één bordje genomen, Nasi met kip in zoetzure saus maar erg naturel (flauw).

Een echte authentieke chinees restaurant met vloerbedekking en mooie tafelkleden in plaats van een kale tafel. Ook op de maandag geopend wat uniek is. Super vriendelijk gezellig personeel. Heerlijk gegeten. Parking om de hoek. Ook fijn in Enkhuizen.

Op 28 april gegeten bij restaurant lotus Enkhuizen samen met mijn echtgenote , broer en schoonzus omdat deze bij ons langskwamen voor een bezoek. Voor het gemak gekozen om niet zelf voor de inwendige mens te zorgen maar om Lotus te proberen. Dit is helemaal goed uitgepakt. Misschien omdat het ook niet zo druk was. Alleen een beetje meer aandacht mag er wel zijn voor de klant. Het lijkt er wel op dat niet al het personeel nog plezier heeft in hun werk.

Best Chinese in the whole of Netherlands. So yummy and so many vegetables. Although the vegetarian options are minimal they re great.

Wij komen hier al jaren. Het eten is hier altijd goed. Gastvrouwe is altijd vrolijk en vriendelijk. Enig minpuntje is het tekort aan personele bediening, maar dat is op dit moment overal het geval.

Wir haben sehr lecker chinesisch gegessen. Das Ambiente ist sehr gemütlich. Der Service war sehr freundlich.

Goed gegeten en vriendelijk personeel

Jammer, eten bijna koud en erg flauw
