    The Lotus Garden - Lobster roll.  So much lobster in the role and still had meat left in the claws.

    Lotus Garden is hands down my favorite restaurant in the Greater Utica area. Although the menu is…read morepan-Asian with Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Burmese, Vietnamese, and Cambodian, I was most excited to try the Cambodian and Burmese food. These last two cuisines tend to be harder to find where I live. The amok with fish was divine. The curry was spicy but also sweet. The fish was superb quality, so tender, substantial with many chunks, and so flavorful. I was floating on cloud nine savoring this amazing trip, while reminiscing about the first time I had it in Siem Reap ten years ago. The tea leaf salad was good, but could have used more flavor for my taste. However, I tend to like this dish with a stronger fish sauce and fermented taste. My kids loved the Cambodian chicken broth with thin rice noodles. They loved the light, clean soup with slices of lean meat. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and transporting. Paintings of Angkor Wot, Buddhist statues, elephants, and other traditional art adorn the space. The booths are comfy and the bathrooms are clean. The service was super kind and attentive. Overall this is a splendid restaurant. Utica is so lucky to have such a gem!! We will surely return in the future.

    We went to Lotus Garden recently on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy initially, so we were…read moreseated right away. It filled up over the course of the night! They have a lot of different cocktails and mocktails to choose from, but I went with the berry spritzer mocktail which was delicious. We split the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer and we thought it was okay, but would probably try a different one next time. I got the chicken pad Thai and thought it was good; I wish I had a bottle of the sauce it came with on the side! My friends got a sushi roll (Woke Up Like This) and the drunken noodles. Both were happy with their choices. When we were done, it took a bit for our waiter to bring the check, but it had gotten busy and some large parties had entered. Besides, we were perfectly happy chatting and catching up and had nowhere to be! This is great date night spot or for a dinner out with friends! Next time, I'm trying some sushi!
