We recently moved to Palm Coast, FL and were looking for an upscale restaurant to celebrate an early Valentines Day. We are very “foodie” people and love trying interesting dishes. Lotus Noodle Bar did not disappoint. We arrived 20 minutes ahead of our reservation given the drive to St. Augustine from Palm Coast and were seated immediately. We had a lovely 2-person table right in front of the kitchen where we could observe the chef staff cooking and plating meals. The venue is small but intimate and the decor gives off a warm inviting vibe. Our fabulous server Diane explained the menus options to us and we decided on two of their specialty sake cocktails to start off with, the Lotus Blossom and the Holidays on Ice and both were very unique and good. We chose the Japanese A5 Tartare and the Nikkei Hamachi Ceviche as our appetizers and the taste and presentation were perfect. It was hard to decide on our main entrees but we decided to have the Lobster & Noodles and Udon Carbonara & Caviar. Both ramen entrees were extremely tasty and very filling, so much so that I ended up taking half of mine home to save room for dessert. The broth in the Lobster & Noodles was the best I have ever had in a ramen dish. My husband loved the Udon Carbonara & Caviar and finished it completely. My husband is not much of a dessert person so he had a glass of port and I went with the NYC Dreams dessert. I loved the combination of white chocolate cheesecake mouse with brown butter sable crumbs and Ossetra caviar. It was light airy and a perfect way to end a wonderful meal. We highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be eating here again very soon.

Food was good and service was what I’d expect for the price. Chef was accommodating and friendly. Outdoor patio wasn’t too loud and has fans and space heaters depending on the weather.
The appetizers were unique and worth splurging on. The sunomono was 5/5, tuna sashimi was 4/5, ceviche 4/5, and the scallop crudo was 3/5
I tried 4 different entrees and each had a unique flavor profile but unfortunately I can’t recommend them at the price point. In Jacksonville you can get similar or larger portion sizes, and in my opinion better tasting ramen, for 1/2 to 1/3 the price of Lotus. I heard high praise from numerous parties in the restaurant regarding the food but I don’t think it was regarding the entrees.
Cons: In a large party they said they don’t split checks for large groups – understandable but we just paid $75 pp for dinner it would be appreciated to spend the 5 minutes to split it. They said they’d charge us for spicy chili sauce for entrees even though they’re $40 each…would’ve been nice to know before you took our sauces that came with the appetizers (not that I asked one waitress not to take them and another one did), and worst of all 4% CC fee. Only one bathroom – was a line the entire night.
Edit to the response: Yes, the CC surcharge is understandable and clearly shown on menu and website, but the inability to split the check is not. I brought cash to cover my portion of the bill but I am not going to ask our entire party to bring $100 cash each to save 4%. I was surprised we couldn’t even pay the entire tip in cash given the gratuity was automatically added to the CC.

If you’re looking for something different, elevated, and memorable, this is it. Lotus brings another level of culinary innovation to St. Augustine. It was the first restaurant that made me realize food and art can be one and the same. You’re tasting the craft, time, energy and intention in every dish.
As someone who has eaten here many times, I’m consistently impressed with the quality of food, service and attention to detail. An ideal spot to celebrate someone you love or to treat yourself. I’m always looking forward to my next experience here.

I appreciate the unique concept—there’s nothing else like it in the area. The fine-dining appetizers were impressive: the scallops were Michelin-level, the hamachi was good but the sauce overpowered the fish, and the beet salad was outstanding.
The ramen was good as well, but it arrived more than 30 minutes after our last appetizer. Having the apps come out one by one is fine, but the long gap made us wonder whether the kitchen is too small for a full service or if this timing issue was unique to our experience.
Service was great, and the décor is very nice. Overall, a creative concept with some excellent dishes, just held back by the pacing.

SPECTACULAR! Hidden Gem!
This place truly blew my mind, the flavor of the ramen was exquisite. The chef curated a very well thought out menu that incorporates traditional Japanese flavors with his own unique twist. There is truly a ramen for everyone. The bacon and egg ramen was delicious, balanced, and so flavorful! The Miso Kinoko is the best most unique blend of Japanese and French flavors, the truffle that is added on top elevates this dish to a whole new level. There are like 7 more ramens that I must come back to try and update my review.
Important to point out their drink menu is very creative as well! It is wine, sake and beer only. I love how they’ve made a sake based cocktail menu, that tastes delicious and complements the dishes very well. Cannot wait to come back and try more!

YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE!!
Probably the best Ramen spot that I have been to in all of Florida. Located in St Augustine, in very low key house looking location. The interior is very modern and it sets the mood and restaurant dynamic quickly. One very cool thing is that tye kitchen is open and very close by and uou can see all the action happening. Chef Barry is nothing short of a flavor genius with French cuisine roots and also Japanese cuisine experience in land Japan. It has a fine dining feel to it bit also not which is very cool!
We had the Bloom steamed buns which come with the option of sunny side eggs with a twist if chili and cilantro were ridiculously delicious! For Ramen we had the Bacon & Egg, the Sweet Soy Braised Brisket, and the Miso Kinoko and its again, the best ramen ive had in all of Florida and potentially ever. The broth was rich in flavor and the noodles were excellent but Chef Barry said that those weren’t even the best ones which blew my mind. We had the Upside-down tart for dessert and it was delicious! The presentation was top notch and I am dying to visit again.
The only down side is that its in St Augustine which is 2 hours away. The staff is amazing and Chef Barry is very involved with guests which is an amazing touch. They have Japanese beers that i have never tried before and they were top quality flavors.

Absolutely incredible experience for our 15 year wedding anniversary. I was so stressed about being late but the team stayed in touch and worked with me which I appreciated and we had the best meal and time. I got the duck Ramen with gluten free noodles and we split the sweet and spicy app. Husband got the garlic Ramen noodles. They had so many gluten free options and I felt super safe.

Great ramen in St. Augustine!
What we ordered:
-Drinks: sparkling water, cranberry nihonshu (delicious and not very sweet), sake (husband says “sake was very good, some of the best sake I’ve had”)
-Ramen: bacon & egg (very filling for me, gave leftovers to the man), garlic noodle mazemen (the man was not full on this alone)
-Appetizer: “Bloom” steam buns with sunny side eggs (butter came in a honey comb with honey infused). Next time we come back we’ll bring a bigger appetite and order more appetizers as they all looked amazing.
Couple of notes:
-Parking: onsite
-Reservations: a must. Gives you different options when booking on Resy (dinning room, noodle bar, barstool with back, and outside). Was unsure which one to chose, ended up choosing dinning room and think we made the right selection for our vibes that night. Noodle bar and dining room is pictured. Each of the two bars have 4 seats. Overall the restaurant seats about 30 guests inside (plus a few more outside) so it is small and intimate. Most tables were configured for two guests.
-Bathroom: there is only one bathroom (with one toilet and sink) for the whole restaurant and workers. There was almost always a line of a few people. This was the biggest (and only) downside of our experience.
-Service: good, although borderline too many people working in the small and intimate space. Felt like they were always hovering and moving around, but they truly didn’t have anywhere else to go.
We’ll be back!

Can’t believe my wife and I haven’t been here yet. This place is amazing. If you’re a boring and picky eater stay away, but if you appreciate culinary art come to this place. My wife liked the sake cocktails , but I would probably get beer or just cold sake next time. The ceviche and tuna app was divine, the sauce they pour onto the plate is phenomenal I drank it after eating all the fish. I had the spicy duck and she had the sweet soy brisket. Bill was like $240 for cash or $250 for card. We booked using Resy and Amex platinum so should get a dining credit. We will be back.

My wife and I totally enjoyed this restuarant and recommend going. It’s not easy to find on Google maps, it’s tucked away behind a building and a parking lot. The food was awesome. We ordered sashimi – the chef come out to our table highlight the dish!
Outside is a very pleasent space. I strongly recommend making a reservation, it usually full. Otherwise, I recommend this restaurant highly.
