Flor de Loto Restaurant — Restaurant in Mata Redonda

I ate here twice during a two-week stay in San Jose. I’m sorry to say I ate the same thing both times as I really enjoyed the Sweet and Sour chicken. High quality cuts of chicken breast in every bite and enough to be shared by two. The egg rolls (come in an order of 4) were very good and seemingly made in-house, but I didn’t verify this. It does seem to be a very popular spot, so I would call ahead for a reservation during peak hours. Menus are in Spanish and English. They had grape Fanta which I hadn’t had in many years. The interior is simple but clean. The service is excellent!

On a subsequent two-week visit, I again dined here twice. I expanded my palate and tried the shrimp chop suey as well as the chop suey without sauce. The shrimp were nice-sized and expertly cooked. The sauce was bland. The chop suey without sauce...

The Chinese food out here is quite nice. I generally order the mixed fried rice. If you are someone who is conscious about your health and the amount of oil in your food then you may want to rethink this place😊. That aside the restaurant has no frills very basic but the staff is attentive and food is served in record time. I like the fact that the amount of soya sauce they use is very minimal which allows the flavours to come through. Other places I have eaten at seem to douse their food with the dark soy. For those who want to add a little bit of spice to their food they do have a house chilli sauce that will definitely make you sweat a bit but I seem to have become a fan of it and ask for it everytime I order. A nice place to visit if u are looking for more than decent Chinese food at decent prices. I recommend you...

Very good experience. Even though we were told that we had to wait outside for like 30 min, we were able to get a seat in 15minutes. We order dinner for 3 with like 5 or 6 options that were very good. Oven roasted piglet was the best of all. Full of flavor and really good. I feel is just a little bit higher on the price comparing to regular chinese restaurants but the quality is something else. The waiter was really kind and always ready to help us. The place was full so if you are going with more than 4 people, i strongly suggest you to make reservation. Otherwise will have to wait up to 40min. I will go again for sure, it...
