Reviews
Cucumber Salad : Great pairing with all the dishes, yet yummy on its own. It’s crunchy, fresh, and comes in generous sizes of cucumber. Sauce wasn’t overpowering. Love the sweet red bell peppers – adds an additional crunch but sweet.
Hot & sour soup some restaurants are stingy with the soup content (tofu), but not here. You get nice chunks of tofu, plus it was the perfect combo of hot & sour.
Dumpling : Loved the rice paper on these! The shrimp and scallop combo was a nice texture moment.
Overall, I was happy with the dishes, service, and perfect people-watching positioning (it’s right on Wilshire Blvd. – you can’t miss it)! I would highly recommend going during lunch so you can walk off everything you are; you’ll definitely be full
Dimsum price was in the order of 10. The price of the hot food is about 20. Their portion is reasonable.
Things I recommend:
– hargao 100%
– siu mai 100%
– steamed ribs
– fried rice or any stir fry dish is very good
– veg tempura
– egg tart
Things I do not recommend:
– XLB: our portion was very dry and stick to the cup. Every piece broke apart when trying to pull out of the cup. The wrapping was too thick.
– Mochi: the wrapping was already harden and tasted like they’ve been made a very long time ago. Ice cream was good but the outside was not good mochi flour anymore.
Service was good. Nice servers and good tea.
The staff was very nice and helpful and the food came out very quickly. I got the Crispy Tofu and Sichuan Eggplant, both of which are vegan options. The Sichaun Eggplant was nice and flavorful, having that distinct spicy taste of Sichuanese cuisine. The Crispy Tofu was made well but I feel it wasn’t for me, so I hope that they add some vegan options for soft tofu as well like Mapo Tofu.
Overall it’s a nice place to visit in a good location of Santa Monica. However, in the future I hope they add more vegan options. If they do I would definitely come here more often.
I love how Lotus has a wide selection of dim sum options. If you are not in the mood for dim sum, no worries they have a selection for lunch as well ranging from noodles to rice and vegetable sides like spicy braised tofu and string beans. The options are endless! If you’re ever in the area, highly recommend checking them out!
Great portions and fair prices.
If you love light healthy food Lotus is the spot for it!
If you are ever in the area I highly recommend it! Definitely get their curry Singapore style noodles!
