Lotus Garden - City of Utica

Lot of good options from all of Asia. Beef Bulgogi and the curry with a nice spice level were both very good. Live music in the evenings.

Amazing way to try Cambodian food for the first time. Well balanced and very flavorful, you can taste the passion in the food. Exciting and comforting at the same time. Definitely going to go back. I also like how they kept key features of the historical building and blended it with Cambodian art. The piano room was my favorite space. Had the Amok will try other dishes next time!

A large menu with consistent quality. I've never had a dish I didn't like. Service is always friendly and quick. Last time I was there I had the Pleah Salad, and it was so light and refreshing!

The Thai food here specifically the drunken noodles and pad Thai were not good at all. Very dry, no flavor, and just not good in general. I know Thai food doesn’t seem like their speciality but it probably shouldn’t be on the menu, it is not good!

Best restaurant in Utica for sure. And its extremely fairly priced. Being from Queens, NY I've eaten in some of the most respected Asian restaurants and this is the most interesting and best I've ever had. I did not expect to move to Utica and find my favorite restaurant but i did. The titular Lotus Shrimp is wildly wildly good which you wouldn't expect for a dish which is basically shrimp with a sauce. Don't expect to get your normal Chinese food. Go here to pick anything on the menu, try something and have a new and delicious experience cooked to perfection. You will not regret it. Other recommended dishes Amok, Pad Thai, Drunk Noodles, Tako Yaki, Fried Zucchini blossoms (when in season), Spicy Chenda Roll. Thank you lotus garden family. Ya'll are truly a gift. edit: Also after reading other reviews just have to say the staff has been nothing but a joy in the 4 years we've eaten here. Sometimes they are busy. We hope they are always busy so they are always there for us to enjoy. THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT THE PEOPLE ARE EXCELLENT! go eat it and thank me later. thanks again lg <3
