A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

 

I used to go to the Lotus Blossom all the time when I was growing up. Hadn’t been there in ages, and one day decided to mix it up and try someplace new. And by new, I mean not Panera or the pizza place they know us at because I am there three times a week. The Lotus Blossom serves Chinese and Japanese cuisine. They’ve been around for 25 years, opening their first restaurant in Framingham (Lotus Flower), then this location in Sudbury, and moving on to open Chang Sho (Cambridge) and Water Lily (Wayland) as their third and fourth restaurants.

Lotus Blossom offers a great lunch buffet from 11:30am – 2:00pm Monday – Friday. They offer many different items, including sushi! They have a Sunday brunch buffet with over 35 items (also including sushi) and Chef Wesley’s updated versions of classic Asian dishes. Not into buffets? They have a great lunch special for $8.95-$10.50 that includes your choice of a vegetable spring roll or a fried chicken wing and your choice of vegetable fried or steamed rice. Main dishes for the lunch special include things like sweet and sour chicken, chicken and cashew nuts, beef and broccoli, shrimp in lobster or garlic sauce or General Gau’s chicken.

For dinner, we ordered a bunch of appetizers and soups to keep it light. The kids loved the steak teriyaki and edamame. The wonton soup was a good choice, a classic, and one of my favorites. I tried the ramen here, which was very tasty. Flavorful and full of noodles.

Our server was attentive and we were able to sit in a quiet table in the back where the kids weren’t going to bother the other diners. The restaurant has a large footprint, so it is perfect if you had a large group with you. The bar area was lively and the takeout business was booming.
