Lotus Garden

Definitely still playing catchup with restaurant posts, but here's a go at our trip to Lotus Garden last Friday, October 2.

I'd been there a couple times before, but it was Sarah's first. The storefront, though not flashy, boasts Chinese, Mongolian, and Japanese food, in addition to soda, ice cream, and other treats. Their takeout/delivery menu is pretty extensive, but we went primarily for the all-you-can-eat buffet. None of the dishes are delicious, but none of them are terrible either, and there's a pretty wide selection for what you're paying ($9/dinner or $6/lunch). Highlights were the gyōza, the coconut chicken, the beef & onion stir-fry, staples like orange chicken and chow mein, the egg flower soup, and, naturally, the ice cream.

We both ate our fill and enjoyed it. I don't think we'll be rushing back anytime soon, but that's perfectly okay. We'll probably get a craving for lots of Far Eastern food in the next couple months and head back to stuff ourselves silly.

Worth it if you're in the mood.
