I ordered a salmon poke bowl. Salmon is fresh and rice is at the correct temperature. Avocado adds an extra creamy texture to the sauce. Green onion was not chopped well but you can’t ask too much at a mountain town market. Food is delicious.

As a wedding planner it’s important for me to work with the best vendors as it’s also a reflection on my services. When it comes to Lotus Root Kitchen, I never hesitate to recommend them to my couples for their catering needs. Not only do I think their food is amazing but I appreciate their attention to food quality and where items are sourced. Honga is clearly passionate about producing fresh, sustainable, and delicious meals. I’m always excited to create unique menus and execute amazing wedding receptions with her and her team.

I’ve only been in a few times now but I just had to write a review because I already love this place so much! Firstly, the energy and vibe of the place is so cute, homey, and it always smells absolutely delicious with whatever they’re cooking in the back. And the food was so delicious. I had the kimchi bowl, (hadn’t gotten a picture before digging in) a mocha, and a browned butter chocolate chip cookie which was to die for! You could tell the kimchi was fresh and house made, so delicious and I had gotten there just in time for the cookies to be warm out of the oven. Also the staff were very sweet and welcoming.

We had the Salmon Poke bowl and the Korean Beef bowl. Both were excellent as was the service. Very surprised at how great this was for a town that seems to want to serve nothing but ‘fried food’.. LOL — Owner was great to talk to and ask questions as well. Looks like a great option for small gifts/food tea to buy & take home too. Very nice place w/a neat cherry tree growing right at the entrance!

An awesome array of quality and hard to find products fit beautifully into this petite space. It’s worth taking the time to peruse the shelves for inspiration. Take some time to enjoy your delicious lunch, espresso, or ceremonial matcha in the indoor or outdoor seating, and you’ll be glad you did! You can bring your own Tupperware if you need to take food to go!!! Beautiful, locally grown flowers, locally made bread and extremely friendly staff and customers!

Real food that leaves you feeling refreshed. The Korean bowl and poke bowl are delicious and fresh juices on Monday are a weekly ritual. This is one of the best experiences you’ll have in ouray County.

So proud to have the Lotus Root in Ridgway, we are super lucky. Best breakfast Burrito of my life (and I’m picky about these things), best cup of coffee in town, the poke, curry and Korean bowl are all epic. Can’t go wrong, thanks so much to the whole team for getting this off the ground!!

I loved this place right after it opened. Since then, they have changed the recipes. Imagine my disappointment after driving 30 miles to get our lunch. They switched out peanut sauce for “lemon vinaigrette”…not even close. Then they told me they sell peanut sauce “up front”… not even true. The owner couldn’t have cared less and couldn’t bother herself to talk to me. We will spread the word. Just when you like something they change up the recipe. We’ll order our PB from the internet and will find another restaurant with great peanut sauce. Your staff was so invested on selling the “lemon vinaigrette” even though I told them over and over that I didn’t want it. Also a bummer it’s not open on the weekends, PLUS, UPDATE YOUR MENU TO REFLECT NO PEANUT SAUCE!!
