Lotus Inn — Restaurant in Brownsville

3th month of 2025 new up date. Newly remodel with just touch ups and removals of fish tanks. Restaurant still cozy dim lighting comfort enjoyable meal, with new rug fresh paint and good look inside. Waitresses are respectful, duties always busy or lay back, call them when needed don't compliant. $ Prices $$ depend what you order, good to wow, big pay out all good. Food taste depend on who makes it some are what it is or someone knows how to cook it. Please be out spoken to your liking or presentation plate. Be nice you'll get fair service. Now for the big compliant for me. This place today smelled sewage should of compliant but I was hungry after finishing yeah smell was over taking awful. Hope you don't go through this please raise a good word and report it nicely. But over all this doesn't happen often. Come on your own risk, enjoy the little things.

This place is cozy nice looking inside. Fish tanks nice to look at fish. First timers here. BUT with out fail a small roach came out nowhere while wife enjoying her soup.eeewww. We were move to another table. Whatever! Taste of food was good very sweet well to sweet over killed the taste. Mentioned the waitress about the roach and a discount nope never happened. Oh she place wrong receipt. And commented the manager will jave me the worker paid the difference. Wow. Price $$ yes expensive. Not coming back in a month. Recommend come on...

Well, needless to say, guys, it isn't the same owner anymore. Lots of us were looking forward to the original fresh taste in our fav. Dishes as mine is the chicken almond total different ball game. It used to be as it reads chicken almonds, now they add all these veggies that don't belong in the dish. As the other two dishes they were ok, not the best but ok. The restaurant is still the same. We thought it was remodeled, but no. They were some changes, and not everything did away with fish tanks. But as far as food goes. Well, you are not to get the same taste as before. I got used to the cook Manuel he knew his stuff. And made the dishes taste different. I'm just not a fan of this one. The tastes are similar to the one on Alton gloor or boca Chica, so for me, either get the recipe from the prior cook/cooks or it ain't cutting it. Sorry guys, it really was a nah! From me. Give it a try. Your taste buds be the judge. As far as staff waiting Well they need more help because one or two waitresses aren't cutting it. Either they are waiting on too many tables and forgetting items for the clients. Their job ain't easy. I'm just saying they need more help during rush hours. Oh, and the chips on the table were horrible, very stale, that the grease gets on your palette or roof of mouth. Fix that make them...

Save yourself the wait time and disappointment, and go to the Boca Chica location.

Waited 40 minutes to be seated and got skipped by people who walked in after us. Extremely unorganized front of house.

Ordered some appetizers and food altogether to avoid long wait times for our food. Even told them just to bring it out together.

Half our order arrived within 12 minutes and the rest took an additional 50 minutes to arrive. When half your party is waiting to eat while food is getting cold, it’s not a good experience.

You can say you’re understaffed, but nothing is harder than the system of chronological order. How is it that a table with more people who came in after us received all their food before us?!

Avoid this location at all cost. The remodel was just a facelift to their kitchen, it all looks the same and the service is slower than before.

Empty tables that don’t get cleaned up after people leave. Sitting for long periods of time without being attended.

Arrived at 7:56pm and the food got to our tables at 9:30pm. Save the wait and...
