Haven't eaten at Lakeside since they moved. To be honest, we hadn't eaten much at the old location because the food had gone downhill. Good news is the new Lakeside is even better. We had delivery and everything was hot and delicious. We will definitely be going back!

First time dining here. The food was great and so was the service. The restaurant has more than enough room for a large family to eat, but when I went it was just me and my wife. We loved both dishes we ordered. We got the szechuan beef and orange chicken. They were able to make the items custom with no issue (no onions for me). Both had great flavor. The service was also great. Very friendly and able to discuss the menu and our preference. Smelled great while the dishes were being cooked and after. We will definitely be back!

Have not been to Lakeside cuisine since they relocated from Alicia Parkway. Much smaller closer to a fast food restaurant now instead of a sit down dining room. Food was excellent. We had lunch and the portions were very large more than any of us could eat. Service was exceptional. Would recommend and would eat there again

Directions: About 2.6 miles West of the 241 toll road. In the Albertsons shopping center on the corner of Olympiad Road and Alicia Pkwy. Plenty of easy access parking with handicap spaces provided. A family member took me here, they said the restaurant had recently changed hands and name. We went at lunch 12:30 and there was no other customers that I could see. There was 2 gentlemen coming out, looking pleased. The esthetics were impressive with all the table's elegantly set with cloth table cloths, napkins and nice dinnerware. The ambiance was quiet and relaxing, however remember we were the only ones there LOL! We were seated immediately, no one else there, LOL and our waiter took our drink orders right away. I was a little surprised that there was no green tea on the menu and no free refills on the standard drinks. But I can understand with being newly opened they are trying to make it. The menus were very nicely laid out with good photos and descriptions. The waiter was very pleasant and accommodating to our requests. I had the Lunch #5 Pork Chow Mein (see photo) my family had the Garlic Chicken and Orange Chicken. Portion sizes were average and the food had very good flavor. It came with a small foil wrapped fried wonton, I think piece of chicken, but it was to over cooked (burnt) to tell. This restaurant has a lot of potential and is heading in the right direction. Some improvement suggestions are: 1. Waiters dress up more to match the elegance of the dining area. He was pretty casually dressed for the setting. 2. Waiter check on customers during the meal more, bring beverage serving pitcher for water refills in lieu of taking glass in the back to refill. 4. Verify that no food is overcooked. 3. Clean and dress up the restrooms please.
