Mandarin Lotus Fine Chinese Fusion Cuisine, Agoura Hills CA

Visiting family for the week while travelling from Kenya, we decided to stop by after a late geocaching session. Upon entry, we were welcomed by the friendliest hostess who guided us through a menu that is a perfect mix of authentic and fusion cuisine. Each of us in our party of 4 was paired with a unique dish and accompanying drink- and they were spot on! You would fully understand why all the celebrity photos are mounted on the walls when the first meals arrive: proper fine dining quality presentation. We started with a soup, some spring rolls, ridiculously delicious rice and a mains, a perfectly brewed (fresh!) iced tea. Then had the best sesame-soy dessert that was a perfect balance of savoury and sweet. This honestly is one of the best places we've eaten at and we wish we could come back again (and again!).

Food and service was outstanding! Huge selection of food but, I definitely recommend the orange chicken!

Excellent family-run Chinese fusion restaurant. The menu features literally dozens of different vegan options. The owners are extremely kind and happy to accommodate any requests. The food is delicious and will leave you wanting more! Definitely stop here if you’re in the area.

Delicious and beautiful dinner. The owners a kind and welcoming. I am looking forward to my next visit.

We stumbled upon this place looking for a gluten free food. They were so knowledgeable in gluten free options and can offer most of the menu gluten free. The gentleman even showed us the GF labeled sauces and talked to us about the quality of the ingredients. Such sweet people!

Hidden gem! So glad I found it, food is delicious and the owners are so nice. The food there is definitely made with love!
Coming back for sure!

Very rude waitress. Totally uninterested in answering questions about the menu. Lots of spicy and vegetarian options on the menu. Not suitable for children. I won't go again and don't recommend.

We are so thankful for Kim & Dan. They are an amazing team, beautiful people and make wonderful food. Our little family has been dining with them for 20 plus years. Always a pleasure to see them and enjoy their delicious treasures.

Thank you for the many wonderful years. We love you both!

I'm sorry to have to say this, but it was extremely expensive, and the food we ordered had no taste, let alone the portions were small (compared to other Chinese restaurants I have frequented)
3 people and the bill was about $97.00 before the tip! 3 entree dishes plus soup.not good

They took amazing care of us, we live 190 miles away and will make the trip again just to eat here!

My wife and I loved every second of our experience at Mandarin Lotus. The food was delicious (we had the "Kelsey Grammer’s Orange Chicken" and the "Hawaiian Coconut Pineapple Tofu"). The owners Kim and Dan are genuinely nice and interesting people. We had an all-around great time, and we can't wait to go back!

Kim and Dan are fantastic, they have a huge menu and the food is absolutely delicious. My fav is the orange chicken. Best I've ever had!

Our go to place healthy, tasty chinese food. Yes it’s on the pricey side but you get what you pay for. My kids love it too and enjoy the soup, mango rolls, chicken dumpling, and top it all the service of Kim and her husband. Thank you for not comprising on the quality of ingredients that go into making your food.
