Great food at good prices. Service is good too! Complete dinners and lunches are amazing. We frequently visit here and have never been disappointed. Only thing I wish they would do is update the restrooms.

Traditional American Chinese Restaurant. This is a sit down restaurant like the ones we went to when I was a kid. Try an appetizer and a new entree. The food here is very good so why not be adventurous. We had steamed dumplings and tangerine chicken. Great! The ambiance brings you back a few decades and is fun. The service is friendly and our waiter was very attentive. Parking is plentiful and they have a lunch special menu that brings in a fair amount of locals. Enjoy!

The food is always enjoyable. It's our go to when we have a lot going on and want to enjoy a well prepared meal without much fuss.

This is a really good Chinese restaurant. We came here during a visit with my husband's mother. She suggested we eat here. When we arrived, the staff was very nice. We were sat at a large table and they were very sweet to my little tot. We stuck with the lunch menu. All of the options came with soup, fried rice and an egg roll. The one thing I didn't like was that there was no option listed if you didn't want wonton soup or and egg roll. Although, I'm sure they would provide an alternative if requested. Everyone enjoyed their food. The other patrons at this time of day were all older people and they were very nice, coming by to say hello to my Little.

4.5 Stars.    Lotus East II is the best Chinese food that I have had since my family and I ate in Chinatown San Francisco during the summer of 2009 a few days before Michael Jackson passed away. To give you a perspective of how first-rate Lotus East II is, is to peruse my Yelp "Chinese Restaurants" list. This list features 61 Chinese restaurant reviews in seven states that dates back to 2011. For Lotus East II to be my favorite on this list, speaks volumes.   When I returned to Long Island for a week in late October to see my dad, our second meal took place here. It was my first sit-down Long Island Chinese restaurant meal in approximately fifteen years. I think very highly of sit down Chinese restaurants that are first-rate. Unfortunately there are far less of them in the Port Jefferson area from when I lived on Long Island. A few of the sit down Chinese restaurants that the Port Jefferson area lost are Diamonds, Lums Islander, and Ho Ho Inn. The first-rate ones that exist such as Lotus II are precious. Regardless that Lotus East II is a fifteen mile drive from the Lake Ronkonkoma area, it was far less of a distance from the six hour flight to Vegas where I live. All of the words hitherto now emphasize the point that this was a precious meal.      Lotus East II is a cozy and intimidate restaurant with white tablecloth dining. The interior, lighting, pictures, fish tank, and interior design is attractive. Just like the lunch special menu options.     The lunch special is a really attractive deal. Especially when the Chinese food is so delicious. It is $11.95 and served Mondays to Saturdays excluding holidays from 11 am to 3 pm. What I ordered included crunchy noodles with duck sauce & hot mustard, wonton soup, chicken chow mein (New York style) with fried rice, & roast pork egg roll, strawberry ice cream, and hot tea. The wide noodles led off the meal. They were crunchy and tasty. My dad says that you can tell a very good Chinese restaurant by the noodles. The bowl of wonton soup followed. The bowl was more of a cup that included two wontons. Regardless of the small size, I was impressed by the taste. The antithesis of the small bowl of wonton soup was the following dish that our attentive and pleasant waiter placed on the table. It was a large dish holding generous portions of New York style chicken chow mein, fried rice, and a roast pork egg roll. The reason why I mentioned a couple of times that this is New York style chow mein is because in different parts of the United States including Las Vegas where I currently reside, chow mein is noodle based. This style of chicken chow mein is currently served in only a handful of Las Vegas restaurants. You can see why my taste buds were in cloud nine eating the New York style of chicken chow mein that is difficult to find where I live and off the charts delicious when I ate it in Mount Sinai, New York. The same holds for the roast pork egg roll. The hot tea that I drank with the meal was likewise out of this world. Last but not least, a generous serving of strawberry ice cream topped off the meal.     When you look at the storefront of Lotus East II, it looks like any other strip mall alongside Route 25A. Who would think that it would beat out storefronts including ones in Chinatown Boston, the Las Vegas Strip, Chicago, Seattle, Magazine Street in New Orleans, and over fifty others to be the best Chinese restaurant at the time of this writing on my Yelp "Chinese Restaurants" list that dates back to 2011.

Very surprised with our visit today, we had an excellent lunch! And our waiter? Top notch, very personable. It's Saturday afternoon and my wife is craving Chinese food. I said the best in the area is Lotus East, are you down to clown? Sure enough, in the cold rain, she leapt out of the car and snagged a table for two. Inside, crisp white table clothes and a huge fish tank are part of the Lotus East interiors charm. Their lunch special is crazy good! General Tso chicken for me and my wife ordered the spare rib special. Each meal comes with a choice of soup, (1) egg roll as well as a choice of different rices: White Brown Pork fried rice Then give you the tastiest fried noodles to start, it comes with duck sauce and chinese hot mustard. You're feelin' me now aren't you Yelper? Those noodles are the sauce! My General Tso's had me standing at attention! White meat only with not too much breading. Just cooked perfectly. After we finished, our meals come with dessert. Pistacho please for both of us. We haven't been to Lotus East in a while, I highly recommend coming here for their fabulous lunch specials.

First time eating out in a sit down Chinese restaurant and it was Grand! We were welcomed and given a nice round 4 top for our group of 4. We perused the menu and ordered from the Specials $22.95 menu which had a good offering of items. Started with soups which were hearty and nice portions and tasted great! Egg Rolls were very good and not greasy. I had Tangerine Beef which was perfect with nice hints of peel for flavor. The Chicken and Chinese Eggplant was good but kinda soggy and not tasting of any garlic which was requested. I must mention the delish noodles for the table, crisp, large and great for dipping in their tasty Duck Sauce, mustard and hot oil. Service was terrific and our waiter was great...took good care of us... We must return to eat off the ala carte menu and try their many other dishes. Hopefully then I can give this great venue a 5 star rating.
