	Review: I got a tasty to-go order from here a few months ago. It was a bean and tofu dish and it was tasty and huge. I called in my order ahead of time but it looked the service was quick for walk-in customers as well. I need to check this place out again, but I liked it.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

	Review: I've been eating here for over 7 years. The food is soo good I have to constantly forgive them for putting onions in my food more than 60% of the time.... Don't care having to pull out onions... the food is fantastic. But: Just ordered take out.. on top of my chow fun dish was a couple of semi-twisted metal splinters/shavings. Took it back to them to make sure I can help them find the problem, so it won't happen to anyone else. The manager took one look at the metal and knew exactly where/how/why they got into my food. The noodle area has a fan that once in a while flings them out, this is what she told me. She offered to make me a new one. No i don't want another meal from you. No i don't want a refund. No, i will not sue you... the world is too "sue Happy". Yes, i lost all trust in you and will not eat your food ever again... bummer because i love your food. Yes, i contacted the alameda health department to send an inspector to you... so you will be forced to fix the problem that "happens every so often". Because apparently it's not important enough to you to fix. Yes, you are very, very lucky my wife or little daughter did not get hurt from your lack of caring! After they told me about this "repeating incident", i just had to walk out. No need to start screaming at them to make them feel guilty... when in reality they don't seem to care enough about it. Honestly... i enjoy their food so much, i would of probably forgiven them.... if i didn't have a daughter. If i didn't catch it... she might of been the one to gobble it down. And to think of what that would of done to her... wow. I will keep in contact with the health department, to make sure the physical problem is fixed. So others can safely eat there. Especially those that will never know what happened. But never again for me, as for you, at least you can make an informed decision now. Thank you for your time.   Pros: tastes great * * Cons: tastes like metal sometimes. * Lack of caring about our safety. * Forgets about not adding onions

	Review: I used to work near the Golden Lotus and they have a great little lunch menu that you can chose from right there. Although the items offered do not change often, the items are very delicious. Prices are reasonable, as well as portion size. Many items to order off menu as well for dine in or pick up. Friendly staff as well. EXCELLENT CARROT CAKE!!   Pros: Quick for lunch * good value * Cons: * *

"GREAT Food!"   My Rating

	Review: This place has some really excellent food, ok service (usually VERY quick!) and great prices. My favorite is the Garlic Beef dish and the Curry Chicken dish... they are both "fake meats" over a bed of lettuce! Delicious. Also their brown rice is REALLY good and nutty in flavour. I love this place. It's right in my neighborhood too (Which I do not consider seedy, btw!!)   Pros: inexpensive * delicious * good service Cons: * *

	Review: This was my first time at the Golden Lotus. The service was fast and friendly. I went after the dinner rush so I'm sure that had something to do with how fast my food was served. I had the grilled pork over rice and it was absolutely delicious. The mock pork tasted so real I had to double check to make sure it really was vegetarian. The prices are all very reasonable. They also have a website if you want to check out their menu. www.goldenlotusvege.com Located in downtown Oakland. Not a bad neighborhood, but it does seem a little seedy at night. Just something to be aware of but I still highly recommend it. :)   Pros: Great food * Fast, friendly service * reasonable prices, clean Cons: Location (only at night) * *

	Review: Golden Lotus is completely veg and has tons of mock meats and typical East Asian vegan fare. my favorites: the cashew chicken, sweet and sour chicken, tofu with eggplant, and any of the soups. prices are reasonable ($7-$10 for most entrees) and they also offer a lunch menu ($4-$6) and a cafeteria style lunch option that is fast and cheap. i have eaten there many times in the last three years and, just for the record, have always found it to be clean, friendly, and, a-hem, bug-less.   Pros: lunch menu * cashew chicken * Cons: * *
