Most Disliked
Some customers feel disappointed that there is no online menu available, which can create a bit of uncertainty when deciding on orders. For those who prefer to pay by card, it's important to note that Lotus House only accepts cash, which can be an inconvenience at times. The overall wait time during peak hours can also lead to frustration for those eager for their favorite dishes. Frequent visitors highlight the need to arrive early or be prepared for a short wait on particularly busy nights. Despite these issues, the warmth of the staff and quality of the food often outweigh minor inconveniences, making many willing to return without hesitation.
