We are based in Jacksonville, so the drive was long, but worth it. Don't be fooled with the feeling that Ramen is a simple presentation of food. This was really an elevated experience that I would recommend to anyone. It's unusual for me to experience new tastes in dishes, but I was impressed with the caviar on the desert, which was new and somehow worked!

Food Quality and Taste: 4 The food was good I think some…read moreitems could have used a little more seasoning, but overall very good. The food quality and presentation were immaculate- 5/5. I was VERY impressed with how beautiful the items looked. So overall, a 4/5. Bloom- 3.5/5 Sweet & Spicy Sunomono- 3/5 Spicy Duck Tan Tan- 4/5 Service: 5 Service was fantastic. Quit and courteous. I was checked on very often. The servers were extremely knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful with selecting my dishes. The chef will often come table-side to introduce a dish or complete a dish with a sauce or finishing touch. Very impressed. Atmosphere: 5 The atmosphere is very nice. There are a few types of seating options. There's a "main bar," a smaller bar seating, the main dining, and an outside. I was seated outside, and it was a nice, cool day. There is also an open kitchen concept, so you can see the chef cooking as well. Value: 4 The pricing is relatively reasonable. While the food tasted okay, the service, atmosphere, and full experience truly makes this a worthwhile experience. Opportunities for Learning: 4 Lotus offers traditional ramen and Pan Asian dishes, there are many unique ingredients and cooking techniques that provide many opportunities to learn something new. Chef Barry is also a James Beard nominee so he is always exploring new dishes and techniques.

Place has the hibachi tables up front and tables/booths in the back. Overall decent decor. First surprise was that it's really a Japanese/Chinese/Thai restuarant. They've got a pretty solid Chinese menu with all the standards on it. And then a bunch of Thai curries. For Japanese it has your bento, hibachi, tempora, teriyaki, udon, etc. So you've basically got all your bases covered! I started with hot and sour soup and it was dang good! Chock full of ingredients and decent spice. For lunch, I went with shrimp in lobster sauce with fried rice. It was exactly what I wanted. Very happy. Wife got a fried tofu appetizer which was HUGE and then some nice salmon. All very good. Daughter got green curry and it was fine but nothing great. Overall, very very impressed especially for the price. Not gourmet or upscale but I thought it was perfect for takeout/sit down type of place.

This Publix is located along a main road, and is easy to navigate to. There is a dedicated parking lot, and we had no issue grabbing a spot relatively close to the entrance. Our visit was on a Tuesday morning in July, and there were a good amount of customers at that time. This location is either relatively new, or recently went through a remodel. Everything is clean, shiny, and modern. I was impressed with the design of the space, and how organized and clean the entire store was. In addition to the typical grocery portions of the store, there were several tables inside to enjoy your food from the hot bars or your drinks. Originally, we tried to order our sandwiches on the app, but it was giving us some issues. We went inside to order and it was a pleasant experience. There were a few people in line before us, but we were served in no time. The employees making our sandwiches gave some good recommendations when we asked about their limited time offers. We pursued around the store for a couple minutes before we checked out. Our group grabbed some chips and other grocery items to accompany the sandwiches. I personally headed to the hot bar, which was right next to the deli/sandwich bar. They had cheese curds that are sold by the pound. I personally love cheese curds, so I got about a pound's worth. I really enjoyed my lunch! The cheese curds were plump and very tasty. They have more of a breading instead of a crunchy coating, but still very good. My Turkey Pub Sub was awesome. I love how you can truly customize these any which way you want. I even put some egg on as a topping this time. These are even good the next day, as I got a full size and saved one half for a lunch later that week. I enjoyed getting to visit this Publix for the first time. It is a bright and modern location with a huge selection of everything. The staff were all very nice as well. They had various specials and sales in all of the departments, including for the hot foods and subs. I would recommend stopping here for some groceries, or even a quick lunch, if you find yourself nearby!

The store was very clean and organized and they have plenty of staff working to keep the checkout process short and efficient. There are multiple entrances and exits on Route 207 making it very convenient and accessible. The parking lot has a plenty of parking spaces and cart return points which will saves you lots of step so you can get in and out of here with little effort.
