Red lanterns and other traditional Chinese decorations hang from the ceiling and adorn the rear wall, which leads to the kitchen. </p> <p>One of the things that sets Lotus Garden apart from the crowd is the family atmosphere. "I cook it like I do for my family," says the chef. One patron described the food as tasting just as good as some of New York's best Chinese restaurants. </p>
