Green Lotus offers a variety of cuisines, including Chinese, Thai, Japanese, and Malaysian dishes. The restaurant primarily functions as a delivery and pick-up point, catering especially to the nearby St. John's University, which contributes to its steady business. There is no waitstaff; instead, patrons place their orders and pay at the counter before waiting for their meals to be ready.
Yesterday, my wife and I visited for lunch and ordered from the lunch menu. My wife opted for the crispy fried baby shrimp, which came with a salad, an appetizer, and a soda. I chose the beef Malaysian curry, similar to Massaman curry, but with roasted tofu instead of peanuts. The food was quite good, and...
My go-to place if I'm craving bubble tea. I can't comment on the other food they have but I'm sure it's quality. The bubble tea is at a good price for large. There's a good amount of flavors. They have stamps cards where you buy 5 drinks, you can get a 6th for free. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly, a little cramped if it's busy. There's a huge TV playing, so the place doesn't sound dull. The staff is mostly helpful and friendly. They accept credit and debit for a minimum for 6 dollars, I think. Green Lotus also delivers, I'm sure there's a lot of people ordering online, the delivery guy is always in and out. Overall, this place is pretty good if you're looking for bubble tea and thai foo...
Great food with a nice selection. Bubble tea is a big plus. Only problem (nitpicking) is the containers they use are so badly made that the sauce oil leaks out and creates a hole in the bag. Other than that the price is a bit up there for Chinese food but it's expected becausr of the place being so close to St. Johns.
Fast delivery, good food, good price. I usually command the same stuff, but wanted to try something else and went with the pad Thai beef a tofu. I was glad I did it because it was really good. I love her bubble teas too. The eating zone is small, but not too bad, whenever I've been there, it's never crowded.

Not a large portion if that's what you're after BUT more importantly the food seems to be healthily prepared. Not dripping in oil or sauce means the food won't be oozing in favor but being made with fresh ingredients not devoid of any favor seems to be a good trade off for me. I'd recommend.
Fantastic General Tao's chicken! They add pickled vegetables which is an interesting and delicious touch. However, there appears to be peanuts in the sauce and there is no mention of them on the menu--be careful. Great lunch specials, but it's less than their $8 credit card minimum.
One of the best thai fusion places in queens. Everything is super inexpensive and delicious. Great buckle teas, curry, pad thai, and drunken noodles. Small dining room so prepare to take your food to go.
This is my favorite restaurant in the world, and I've convinced all my friends to start dining here too! My top choices are the Chicken Pillow Thai and the Drunk Noodles!
