Mandarin Lotus Fine Chinese Fusion Cuisine in Agoura Hills

Here visiting the area and really wanted some fresh vegetables and a healthy meal. I took one glance at the menu and knew I would find something. What I was not prepared for was an experience beyond my expectations. This is not your typical Chinese restaurant. Dan and Kim have created a cozy space where you feel at home, comfortable, and somehow also still fine dining. The service was phenomenal Kim greeted us promptly and seated us with a brief overview of their specialties. We ordered the Basil Taiwanese mixed vegetables and was not disappointed. The veggies were properly seasoned with a light sauce and served with rice. The flavors balanced well with the cabbage, broccoli, carrots, onions, beets, water chestnuts, squash and rice. I felt rejuvenated after finishing the plate. We also ordered the Strawberry Peach shrimp and again I was wowed. Never had I had such a complementary pair. We even joked maybe we should move to the neighborhood so we can come back. Definitely gonna have to return.

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 weve eaten at and we wish we could come back again (and again!).

Words cannot capture the feeling one has when meeting the sweet couple who bring so much love, joy, creativity and care into each intersection. The food is unbelievable. Truly, cannot believe it until you see this creative menu. Then it comes out as an art piece and the taste transports you. I drive 1.5hrs each way every time to dine here and is the place to bring my most special friends and family to experience. Such a treasure.

This is a great little place for folks looking for not only great food but a ton of awesome vegan options too! Theres entire sections of the menu to provide an array of non-meat options! Plant-based not your thing? No worries cause thier carnivore options are equally comprehensive and the owners are attentitive and sweet folks 😁

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.

I had such a wonderful time here. Kim and Don are such amazing people. They care so much about their food as they brought us the incredible food here. I love their shrimp so much, they were very fresh and big shrimps, taste really good but I don’t know what it’s called. I told her I like shrimp and spicy and she chose the right menu for me! If I can give them more than 5 stars, it could be 10 stars or even more. They totally deserve it :D

This place was a great find. The food was delicious. The staff was so helpful and friendly. They have a large menu. My waitresses inquired about what I liked. I informed her that I grew up with Asian neighbors and that I was used to homemade Asian food. She then said trust me Ill make you something good. She brought out the most delicious dish colossal shrimp with favors of turmeric and lemongrass with a side of white rice. They are also known for their vegan food.

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!!!

At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, this is the best Asian Vegetarian/Vegan food in Los Angeles and environs....and possibly in the known universe. The care that Dan takes with his amazingly original recipes is astonishing. And his wife Kim, who does everything else, is the loveliest person imaginable. We have eaten here dozens of times, trying all the vegan things listed on the menu that I have never seen anywhere else and are always blown away. Its a new standard of excellence for vegan food!

Tasty but pricey. Had a Szechwan dish and some soup, everything tastes very nice and the presentation is good! I agree with another comment that it’s a little “touristy” but overall the ambience is nice, the staff is courteous and the food is just above average.
