Reviews for Lotus in New Orleans, LA
My wife and I had a fantastic experience here, we sat outside and started with a couple of their wonderful cocktails. I had the... Socialite, with gin, elderflower, and cucumber, perfect for a summer evening. My wife had the FOMO, it has pineapple, turmeric,vodka and it was delicious, earthy and refreshing as described. The sushi was fantastic also and our waitress was funny, fun andshe made some good recommendations also. We'll be back for sure. Read more
Hands down the absolute BEST SUSHI I’ve ever eaten anywhere on earth and I’ve travelled the world. Everything we’ve ever... ordered has been delicious, seriously, but some of our go-to’s include, but are in no way limited to: Tomoe Gozen Roll (soypaper), Masako Katsura Roll (Eat Fit Certified!), Chef’s Special Roll (mix of deliciousness), Stuffed Jalapeños for an appand Tempura Cheesecake for dessert (perfect combo of sweet/salt + crunch/cream + warm/cold of all time). On top of it all, thecustomer service is second to none. The owner and her staff couldn’t be more friendly or accommodating. Trust me on this one,folks! Read more
So super yummy. Service was top notch. Presentation perfect. I picked up, and I can’t wait to return to dine in and enjoy the... quaint atmosphere. A hidden gem w some of the best sushi I’ve had in New Orleans. Read more
Fabulous! Lovely service. The salmon sashimi was so fresh. We had two house rolls, Lotus and the pool shark lady roll (not... it’s real name) were delicious. Happy hour from 4:00. We’ll be back! Read more
Kind people and great food! I swung by here on my way home this evening and I was very impressed. I got to speak with Betty, the... proprietress, for a couple minutes. She was very kind and explained the menu to me. I ordered a Kimie Iwata roll and some shrimpfried rice - then went to wait in my car. They brought my food out, and included a couple extras too - some shrimp and a nicepair of reusable chopsticks. The food was delicious, and it was clear that they take pride in what they do! Lots of nice littletouches. It's great to have small businesses like Lotus Bistro here in Lakeview. Ill be coming back next time I am cravingsushi! Read more
Just another honest review for Lotus Bistro! The food was superior to many of the restaurants I have tried with similar menus in... Aventura, Florida as-well-as Atlanta, Ga! My waitress was Pie and she had a great sense of humor! During the meal the owner,Betty Sun made her self know and it was obvious why the experience and food preparation was superior! She was pleasant and abeauty women inside and out! If you are in the area you have to give Lotus Bistro a try! If you are looking to cater a party orjust want to take a drive across town its a great Sushi Restaurant to try with a friend, love one or colleague! Read more
Fresh. Innovative. Delicious. I could go all day with one-word summaries of how good this place was. I'm an Omakase type... diner, so my date and I sat in front of Chef Edgar and Chef Dylan requested that they just " do their thing", until i tapout. They did not disappoint. Everything was plated perfectly. Tasted delicous. Wonderful layers of flavor on every dish. I wasnever left waiting for food. In fact, the restaurant was full, and they managed to keep plates flying to tables while feeding afull sushi bar. Dem boys are good. Also, the few hot dishes I got from the kitchen were so good! Highly recommend the spicyedamame. They're currently waiving a corkage fee so BYOB. Brought our own bottles of wine to enjoy with this amazing meal.There is a mini mart right next door with great deals , so convenient. As you're reading this, youre probably saying:"Wow..great review! theres no more you can say, I'm already sold and eating there tonight!". But there is more, and to me, isequally as important as the food. THE SERVICE! Our waitress, Kaci, was nothing short of incredible. Great service, so attentiveand greeted us with a smile as we walked in. She made an already outstanding meal, an overall phenomenal experience. I highlyrecommend this beautiful new gem of a sushi restaurant perfectly located in Lakeview/WestEnd. Read more
I hadn't been to Lotus since they closed during Covid. A newly remodeled dinning room and the familiar Sushi bar was a treat.... The freshness of the seafood was right on. Some new dishes were wonderful and the attention shown by the staff was the best.Betty is the chef/owner and is very proud to offer suggestions and tips of how the recipes are made. Try the Fireman Mike rolland the Sushi pizza but don't skip the Sushi and Sashimi. Gouza soup was extremely good Read more
