Welcome to Mandarin Lotus Restaurant

Since the Mandarin Lotus Chinese Fusion Restaurant made its debut in 1988 (formerly known as Mandarin Express), it has become, quite simply, the standard by which all other Chinese cuisine is judged. Owned by Dan Chang and Kim Truong, the quaint establishment rivals even the best-known large scale, fine Asian restaurants. It's no wonder that the many celebrities and hollywood moguls who stumble upon this gem keep coming back again and again! With the first taste of a Mandarin Lotus dish, both diners and restaurant critics alike have become and remained loyal patrons over the past two decades.
