One of my favorite restaurants and small businesses in the world, easily at the top of the list for Chinese and Chinese fusion. I have been a loyal Mandarin Lotus customer for many years. The food is always very well prepared, and the owners are truly wonderful people. My former coworker and I made it a weekly destination, and I now bring takeout home to my family. The menu seems long, but it's neatly divided by protein choice, plenty choices for vegetarian and gluten-free upon request. Don't miss Chang's signature creations; try my favorite, the southwest chicken with Argentinian sauce. The chef is also very open to custom orders if you have something in mind.
Amazing legit gluten free options (celiac safe). Got #190 with shrimp and it was delicious! Hidden gem 💎 in a strip mall, so good 😊
I had such a wonderful time here. Kim and Don are such amazing people. They care so much about their food as they brought us the incredible food here. I love their shrimp so much, they were very fresh and big shrimps, taste really good but I don’t know what it’s called. I told her I like shrimp and spicy and she chose the right menu for me! If I can give them more than 5 stars, it could be 10 stars or even more. They totally deserve it :D
My review is reflected by my enjoyment of the company and the flavor, appearance, and taste overall of the food.I tend to travel across the world and look for really good food when I’m out and about most unusual places. Agoura Hills California it’s not that exotic of a location. Nestled in the mountains a little bit away from LA. But this is one of the hidden gems that everybody should be aware of.
The owners are some of the nicest people you’ll run into in this world. We need to have more of these people in society.
If you’re traveling through this part of the California it is a great deal and worth the stop.
This place was a great find. The food was delicious. The staff was so helpful and friendly. They have a large menu. My waitresses inquired about what I liked. I informed her that I grew up with Asian neighbors and that I was used to homemade Asian food. She then said trust me I'll make you something good. She brought out the most delicious dish colossal shrimp with favors of turmeric and lemongrass with a side of white rice. They are also known for their vegan food.
At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, this is the best Asian Vegetarian/Vegan food in Los Angeles and environs....and possibly in the known universe. The care that Dan takes with his amazingly original recipes is astonishing. And his wife Kim, who does everything else, is the loveliest person imaginable. We have eaten here dozens of times, trying all the vegan things listed on the menu that I have never seen anywhere else and are always blown away. Its a new standard of excellence for vegan food!
Tasty but pricey. Had a Szechwan dish and some soup, everything tastes very nice and the presentation is good! I agree with another comment that it’s a little “touristy” but overall the ambience is nice, the staff is courteous and the food is just above average.

Hi! I am leaving this 5 star review... not only because the food was AMAZING and CREATIVITY and PASSION explode from the menu and the kitchen...not only because the couple running the place treated us like family, seeming to really care that we ordered something that we would truly enjoy and taking the time to make us a feast that included free egg rolls...not only because they actually called and left a message regarding a forgettable credit card issue and to say they hope we enjoyed our meal...all of that is true and I will be back as much as possible despite living almost an hour away, but I am also giving 5 stars to improve their average score against those who feel the need to give bad reviews to people they admit are kind, over petty grievances or because their own fast food conditioned bad taste makes them unable to appreciate anything Asian besides Panda Express.. Everyone feels they need to give their 2 cents on everything. Anyway, this place is incredible.
