My husband, son, and I came in for my birthday and absolutely loved the dinner special which was a 40oz tomahawk steak. It was cooked perfectly to medium rare and plated beautifully. Our server, Mina, was highly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Our drinks were mixed to perfection and the atmosphere was lively yet intimate at the same time. 10/10.

Really disappointed in my meal at Lotus. We had the dumplings and chicken wings as appetizers which were just okay. The burger I ordered however was awful. No flavor in the burger or the fries. The bun was crumbling apart as if it sat out for a few days.

it’s pretty good food. cool ambiance. there were children there, but it should be known that the bar is not hidden or seperate from the rest of the restaurant so parents that care about that…my sushi was good and my family enjoyed their burgers. I will visit again and recommend.

Making progress with the sushi options in NC. I am from out of state, a sushi lover and it has been so hard to find a good place. Lotus is next to Publix so after a loooong day from work I decided to go grocery shopping and treat my mom and myself to a Sapporo and some sushi and we landed at Lotus Bar & Eatery. Let’s break down the stars: customer service: 5 star! we felt very welcome, they young gentleman greeted us with a beautiful and genuine smile, we appreciated that. From that point on, I knew it was going to be pleasant. Our server was very friendly and when I asked for suggestions she nailed it. The best part was when Adam, the owner, came to our table after we were done and asked us how was our meal (8 stars for that attention to us). Appreciate it. Ambiance- 5 star! is a nice place to go with your family or enjoy a drink or two at the bar. Place is clean, lots of space, maybe more lighting to show the second floor so people know there is an option for large gathering in a private area. It was not loud so that’s a plus. Food: I give 4 stars because I need to try some sushi rolls that are more elaborate. I have wasted so much money in other places so I tried I think 6 different rolls and they were very good. The rice was good, the rolls were tasty, fresh and pieces had the perfect size. The menu has so many options! Wait time was very reasonable. I highly recommend this place!

Lotus gets 4 stars from me. I have been meaning to try this place for a while and I was pleasantly surprised with the upscale food and sushi bar inside a strip mall place. I ordered a coconut mojito, California roll, and the swordfish weekly special. The drink was just ok and I probably wouldn’t order it again. It left something to be desired- maybe more coconut rum or maybe less mint. The sushi is made to order by the sushi chef. It’s not the best I’ve had but it was good (I mean, this is Gastonia). Everyone raves about Jia but the sushi here is better in my opinion. I was wondering why the dinners were priced at upscale prices until my dinner arrived. Props to the chef who knows his or her stuff! The food was delivered hot, plated wonderfully and it was delicious. The risotto was awesome and cooked perfectly as the swordfish was grilled but not overly smokey and not dry at all. I will definitely be back to try more of their unique variety of dishes!

We were able to call in a reservation on Valentine’s day weekend. When we arrived the host told us they were running behind and it would be another ten minutes. Our server, Ashlee, was wonderful. The kitchen was behind with orders but we didn’t care. Ashley kept us informed throughout the night and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was not as good as expected with the price point. The sushi we got as an appetizer was the best part.
