Gluten free/dairy free? You can eat so many items on the menu! Lucky Lotus is consistently delicious, accessible for folks on special diets, and interesting. Favorites are the crispy rice wraps (pictured), the lucky tofu, whatever curry is seasonal on their menu, the after school fried rice, and the sesame balls. The only downside is that they're not open 24/7 or that I don't actually live in the restaurant itself.
So much flavor and well cooked food with fresh ingredients. Staff is helpful and knows what they are doing so you are well taken care of. Place has a super good vibe with creative neons, art, and the sweet umbrella s! Best of the best!
I'm from southeast asia, and I can tell you that the food tastes exactly like home ?. I tried the Drunken Noodles with Chicken, and Tom Yum Noodle Soup. 10/10 for both, and I bet everything else are equally good. Was looking forward to trying the Char Kuay Teow but was told that their menu changes from time to time so do check the website or inquire about the latest menus!! The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere too, perfect for Instagram photos!!!!
Asked for 0 spicy, as you can see it’s still loaded with hot chili. This is after they remade it. I asked for no spice for my kid. I can’t even eat this it’s so spicy. Ok you win, guess I can’t ask you to make my food the way I want it. Gave you two chances to make it right. You won’t be getting a 3rd. This is why I hate paying and tipping before you get food.
My favorite place for Pad Thai and great mango sticky rice as well.
Was really impressed. Great food, good service, good atmosphere, will be back to try more food!!! Seriously was so impressed by the food and service. Had my stomach doing happy dances, Lucky Lotus was one lucky find! Pictures shown are sweet potato curry, rangoonies, crispy rice rolls, steamed buns with tofu filling, and sesame balls! With Thai tea to drink. They have non dairy option on request which was awesome too!
Just tried Lucky Lotus for the first time. Exquisite food! Fresh ingredients expertly prepared. Everything was piping hot and really well balanced. Service was excellent. You order up front but they bring the food and we were checked up with to make sure everything was good. I will be back many times!
Very cool spot. Great vegan options on the menu because you can substitute tofu as your protein in lots of dishes. The sweet potato panang with tofu was so tasty and comforting! Lovely flavors and very filling. I highly recommend and will be going back to try more menu items!
We stopped by on Saturday and were pleasantly surprised to be able to get a table! They do a lot of takeout. Service was super fast. Food was delicious! The spice level is no joke. I got a 2 and love spicy and the 2 was definitely spicy but flavorful. Crabies were perfectly fried and the filling was full. Add the Chinese sausage to your fried rice, it’s worth it.
Stopped at Lucky Lotus yesterday when I was in Des Moines and was delighted to see so many vegan options. I got the veggie dumplings and orange tofu. I was so impressed, the coating on the tofu was spectacular and the atmosphere of the restaurant was really fun. Going to have to make a trip to Des Moines again soon!!
