Mandarin Lotus Fine Chinese Fusion Cuisine

A foodie's paradise! (Especially foodie vegetarians). Light, complex, and fresh flavors with artistic presentation--thin sliced, bite-sized horseradish maple glazed crispy beef with flawless green beans? Black velvet Belgian chocolate shrimp with applewood smoked bacon confit?!! The menu says "sesame ball" and what arrives are half a dozen perfectly textured red bean paste sesame balls, with a dab of almond-caramel sauce melting over the top of each, fresh fruit, and a gorgeous citrus sorbet to sip from a frozen liqueur glass 🤩✨

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Mandarin Lotus in Agoura Hills and was thoroughly impressed. We ordered the Black Velvet Belgian Chocolate Chicken with Apple Wood Smoked Bacon Confit and the vegetable fried rice. The chicken was a delightful surprise; it was incredibly flavorful and a must-try, even if you're a bit doubtful about the combination. The vegetable fried rice was equally fantastic - packed with fresh veggies and, best of all, not greasy. It's no wonder this place gets five stars from me. As a fun bonus, the walls are adorned with autographed headshots, which was a nice and unexpected surprise!

This place has always had the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. The service is amazing. The owners are a married couple who run the whole restaurant by themselves. The chef crafts delicious and unique signature dishes that you can’t find anywhere else. They are always giving us complementary desserts and appetizers. Kim is so knowledgeable and I recommend asking for her recommendations. This time we got egg flower soup, the Crispy Calamari w/Argentinian Sauce and Black Velvet Belgian Chocolate Shrimp (I know, sounds weird, but it was SO GOOD). The food came quickly and every dish was exceptionally flavorful, perfectly cooked and beautiful to look at. Thank you Kim! We will definitely be back.

I haven’t had Chinese food in 2 years since finding out I had a gluten allergy and had to go gluten free. I found Mandarin Lotus on the find me gluten free app and this place did not disappoint. The owner recommended Belgium chocolate chicken and my first thought was no way, however, I decided to try it and it was DELICIOUS! The owner is very friendly, knowledgeable about gluten free and there are many options to choose from. I will be back and highly recommend this place!!

Hidden gem in Aurora Hills. Excelente taste. Quality food. Great service Kim the owner. Nice.
