Lotus Test Kitchen

Yeah this place is legit. The portion sizes are massive and the prices can’t be beat. The food is amazing and there’s so many different options! You can really customize what you want and you can always add more protein or sauce. I want to come back here and try all the different options. I got the pork belly bao which was perfectly crisp but as warm and delicious. I also got the pork belly bowl and I’m so glad I did. They really know how to cook it to perfection! Not to mention the chicken teriyaki which fit well with the veggies and sauce. I loved the spicy and sesame sauces and hope to try more. Another thing that really shined was their honesty and compassion. A customer dropped his food during an accident while food was being handed off to him. Instead of getting mad and making him

Delicious hole-in-the-wall! I ordered the chopped salad w/ tofu and pork dumplings for $22, which I felt like was a good price. The tofu was cooked right in front of me, and I was walking out with my to-go bag within 5 mins. HIGHLY recommend the dumplings; you can definitely tell they’re made from scratch and were the best I’ve had in a while. Enjoyed my lunch in the park, which is mere minutes away. Definitely recommend!

Food fresh, plentiful, delicious and that doesn't even start to cover the flavors. It is off the beaten path of Chinatown,but you know it's good, because of the neighborhood local traffic that came in out while we were lunching. It mostly an online, pickup delivery, but there is a small amount of chairs with a little shelf bar to accommodate walk-ins like myself. Moderately priced, service was genuine and pleasant, orders, completed quickly and hot.

Be careful when ordering double protein. If they don’t give it in an extra box, they probably only gave you a total of one portion. This thin layer of meat was supposed to be “two” portions and they packed the rest of the box full with rice to make it look full. The lady chef gave me trouble for pointing out that they gave me such a small portion. The guy at the cashier was nice about it. But the prices on their menu is also not up to date. They will charge you a higher price and not honor the menu prices that are right behind them.

great value! big portions and great food. lady that took our order was also extremely nice!
