Lotus Restaurant

Unfortunately, there were more misses than hits. Hot sour soup good, maybe just a drop more vinegar to give it that great zing. Veggie tempura - 10 for freshness of all the veggies, but needs quality panko. Mostly, the dipping sauce gets 0. Delicious dashi base stock was replaced by thick, sticky glazey sauce and duck sauce??.. c'mon. Lastly, the three rolls - please, use proper vinegared rice ( which is actually the sushi ). Not even the flavor of the fishes were able to fight through. The exception being the 'spicy' sauce on the tuna, but Kewpie mayo needs to be used and I am too old fashioned and traditional to enjoy the crushed panko undercoat. I lived in Japan for 10 years, so my palate demands the basics. All of the misses can be corrected with a little care.

Food was fantastic! The waitress, Jillian, was a gem, and also incredibly helpful helping me make decisions about different items on the menu. I wasn’t a huge fan of the location itself, but the food was delicious and plated beautifully. I will certainly be back!

The food was disgusting. I got takeout and the lady at the front looked confused. We ordered Pad Thai and the food was NOTHING like the traditional dish. It was rice noodles with a sour overly sweetened broth. Pad Thai is a dish with a well balanced flavor of sour, sweet, and nutty sauce over rice noodles. Which was not what they gave us. They gave us dry rice noodles with an oily broth that left an aftertaste of artificial sweetener. Their wontons were nasty as well. The sauce was way too sweet and the wonton itself tasted like the oil it was fried in was dirty. This was my Moms birthday dinner. And it was the worst Asian food experience we’ve ever had. I will say though the restaurant is nice inside. The food is just not authentic.

Shrimp and broccoli is my favorite! And I love their lunch sushi special ( shrimp tempura is my favorite). The prices are good and you get plenty of food!

GREAT authentic food! Great Sushi too! We used to go here years ago didnt' like the food. Well something changed and recently we have been going quite often as the food is authentic and great tasting. We love the service too. The building looks older and run down so the atmosphere isn't perfect. Most times we eat there but we also get it to take out too. GREAT FOOD!
