The service was great and our server was amazing. The ambiance was a little bar feeling with lots of wood tables which I liked. Now let's get to the food.. Pork buns: the pork was cooked perfectly and the bun was nice and soft. The sauce went well everything and it's a great starter dish. Spicy Kimchi Ramen- this consists of pork belly, pickled mushrooms, kimchi and fried garlic. The ramen was really good and had a lot of flavor with just the right amount of spice from the kimchi. Perfect for a cold day! Colonel Sanders Ramen- this had a pork broth with fried chicken and was delicious and moist. Also had corn with Vermont butter which you can taste through the bowl. This dish was the highlight for me and I'll definitely be back again. If you're in Salem, MA and are craving ramen then be sure to give this place a try.

This is a unique establishment in Salem, as it is two restaurants in one: Bambolina for pizzas,…read morepastas, and Italian fare, and Kokeshi for ramen and more Asian options. After seeing the price of the wood-fired pizzas and their actual size as they came out of the oven and were delivered to tables around us, my friend and I decided to stick with the Kokeshi side of things. We ordered an appetizer of Shishito peppers, which were outstanding: I did not know what to expect and whether they would be spicy or not, but these were perfectly roasted with soy, ginger, and scallions. I would 10 out of 10 order these again. For my main dish I ordered the spicy white kimchi ramen, which had Tokyo wavy noodles, roasted pork belly, cilantro, corn, spicy marinated mushrooms, scallions, fried garlic, and cilantro oil. Wow! What a flavor combination! From savory to spicy to sweet to smooth to crunchy and crispy. Overall it was a pretty perfect meal. In terms of the atmosphere, we sat at a high table in the middle of the restaurant, which gave it a more family atmosphere vibe, sitting right next to others. What I particularly loved was the 90s hip-hop soundtrack playing in the background. Notably, it was not blaring loud so that you had to yell to hear the person across from you (always a pet peeve of mine at restaurants). Our server was friendly and checked on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. This was my first trip to Kokeshi but it will not be my last, as it has become my new favorite restaurant in Salem.

It's an old appearing Vietnamese restaurant with minimum decorations inside. They have a big menu with 157 items on it. We ordered the Bún bò Huế which is a classic Vietnamese dish, but it was not good at all. The meat inside the dish was so inedible, they gave lots of beef tendon and a piece of pork bone that didn't have any meat on it. Moreover, the dish wasn't even a bit spicy like it's supposed to be. We also got the house pho which was just so-so. The service was standard.

We got red curry, pad Thai, tempura veggies, and chicken satay. All of them were incredible and the portions were so big, we had leftovers for a couple more meals. The staff is nice and the prices are reasonable. My only "complaint" - and it's not even a complaint - is that the food is dry when reheated. We didn't have that issue when we ate in the restaurant though, nor when we did takeout to eat during a working lunch.

The White Lotus opened in late 2023 at the Lakeview Shopping Center in Dracut, former China Maxim…read morespace. At the time of this posting, the menu here was very limited with a few Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese selections including noodle dishes, rice bowls, fried rice, soup, fried appetizers, pupu platter, and cold drinks. The menu plans to be expanded including combination platters. I stopped by The White Lotus very recently for takeout after placing an online order via Clover. My order was ready within 10 minutes. I ordered the Cambodian Beef Lok Lak Rice Bowl ($15.99 plus tax) and a small order of Pork/Shrimp Egg Rolls (4 for $4,99 plus tax). The Cambodian Beef Lok Lak Rice Bowl had tender grilled pieces of marinated beef steak, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, lime & black pepper sauce over soft white rice. This bowl was a great choice and the beef had nice flavors. The 4 egg rolls were actually like spring rolls, very crispy with shredded cabbage, carrot, ground pork/shrimp, very greasy though. I would return here when the menu is expanded and more combination platters besides appetizer platters are offered.

Opened in December of'24 where China Maxim formerly was, The White Lotus offers Asian cuisine that differs from what we've become expect from a "standard Chinese" restaurant. Crab Rangoon - soft pillows with crispy edges hold a delicious filling that has the right amount of filling and texture. A little hint of sherry (?) give them a delicious flavor Chicken Wings - initially cooked like a traditional style (for around here anyway) but then tossed in a delicious light sauce. Get these! Lotus Fried Rice - like a house fried rice but with Chinese sausage (lap-xuong). I found this delicious and packed with non-rice ingredients.

When the food was delivered, there was little to no direction on operating the table burners. The buttons are hard to see as they're down low on front of table near the abdomen area. While assembling my soup, my broth boiled over and leaked through the burner onto the floor and my pant leg. Later I asked if I could switch my broth flavor because I didn't care for the mushroom broth and was told no by our server, but overheard another server tell her customer that they could switch broth. My second visit was my Daughter's choice for her 21st birthday dinner. I did not like my first experience with the soup and ordered a couple of small plates as my meal. My Husband and Daughter had Tom Yum broth, as individual servings. My Husband asked for won tons for his soup and they arrived to the table frozen. I have yet to leave this restaurant with a good experience and I won't be returning.
