Lotus Chinese Floating

Ordered from lotus a whole duck using ubereats... but didn’t realise I needed to chop the duck myself… =.=“ if i possess that skill or am feeling adventurous, i’d probably not be ordering takeaways. However, if you manage to get as far as to actually eating the duck, it’s actually very good! (Started from 1 star when I received the duck, upgraded to 3 after eating the duck, would have been 5 if it was chopped!) Edit: 7-Feb-22; updated from 3 to 5 stars. Restaurant now state clearly and provided option to have it chopped, with or without bones and even provided the bones for making soup if needed. Roast duck, roast pork and pork knuckles are all good!

Stop visiting Lotus Floating restaurant after few years due to their service and foods are not up to my expectations, after a few friendly senior staffs have left. Recently I went back to give them a try, they have improved on their dim sum, but the tea quality is poor, taste is weird from tea pot, advise to improve it. Their service is average can't expect too much in many Chinese restaurants in London, in this restaurant due to many customers on the weekend, sometime expecting some queue without reservation. You can enjoy river sea view to see some high building. Two minutes walking distance from Crossharbour DLR station. Price is reasonable. Ckeaninss in the toilet is acceptable. Parking, can consider to park near Asda just less than 5 min.

This was my 4th visit to Lotus as I live locally, but it's the first time I came exclusively for Dim-sum with my son, we ordered 10 dishes in total, all were very nice except spare ribs, it wasn't what I would normally expect, small chunks of bones with hardly any meat on them, but that's the only issue, waitress who brought the dishes was very nice and professional. Will definitely come back for more.
