I am a regular customer here. I have spent birthdays and many celebrations here and it is consistently pleasant. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. The food is incredible, they have a variety of options for different dietary needs and choices. The ambiance is always calm and peaceful. I recommend Lotus Lounge to anyone wanting to try something fresh in Flagstaff! For any vegans - the Lotus Roll is my go to! read more

Great dining at it's best. I invite you to go in and see Carleigh. She will take care of you! AMAZING salmon sashimi. D.E...LISIOS pork belly boa buns! Old fashions are a definite pleasure. ENJOY! (flippin forgot the pics... My bad!) read more

The food was really great. The service was good. The Only thing I didn't like was that it was REALLY REALLY LOUD.

-KAREN MOMENT ALERT! GUILTY!!- The general manager Genie Kuester was unapologetic and unwilling to discuss any kind of accommodation when our party of 8, turned into a party of 6, and then back into an 8. She was unwilling to have any type of discussion with us- besides asking us multiple times "what do you expect me to do?"... well, I guess it was rhetorical. She then asked me to follow her outside because "I was causing a scene" when I asked to speak to her higher up. She told me I was not welcome inside and left before I was able to speak another word. Covid has made things different but, WOW. read more

***UPDATE - WE LEFT AT 8:20PM AFTER OVER AND HOUR OF STARING AT OTHER PEOPLE EAT ** *** SITTING HERE NOW -- FRIDAY 11/02 *** OVER 40 minutes for water to be brought to table and take drink order.....water glasses were hot, water was cold but then was warm after a few moments...watched three tables already have multiple courses brought out...will update afterwards....STAY AWAY IS MY BEST ADVICE SO FAR Just because the server you hired has a man bun and looks trendy doesn't mean he can do the job. The guy only had 4 tables, and to top it off, there were runners helping him and it was still a monkey f-ing a rolling donut. read more

Lotus Lounge - AFTER WAITING OVER AN HOUR THEY GAVE UP ON WAITING... - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

This place is a GREAT vibe if you're looking for a hip foodie spot with great drink choices. Great music playing, awesome Sunday happy hour, clean and social distanced. Highly recommend for drinks, dinner or snacks. Thank you for having us! read more

The only regret I have about Lotus Lounge is that I didn't find out about it sooner. Our hotel was literally a 5-second walk away and is actually the reason we found out about it as they had a chalk board with Lotus Lounge's menu on it. We had a horrible experience at Sosoba about a block away the night before and Lotus Lounge was a great upgrade. Not only is it beautiful inside but the bartender that took care of us was very nice and fast and knew how to make a great cocktail. My BF and I had the fried mushroom appetizer, a sushi roll and beef fried rice. They were quite busy when we stopped by due to the holidays and seemed to have been hosting several large parties but that didn't affect the timing of our food. It was out very quickly. I gotta say, everything we ordered was fantastic, so good that I would have a hard time picking a favorite of the three things we ordered off the menu. Their sushi is fresh and flavorful, the offer unique appetizers and their fried rice is on point. Wish I would have found out sooner so I could have gone for a second meal before our trip ended. We will be back for sure. read more

Server was kind and staff was friendly. Good environment and liked how it looked inside. Nice vibe. Only tried the ramen and I must say I was disappointed. I asked the server if they have tonkatsu and she looked confused lmfao. I then realized I was definitely in a place with maybe no diversity. Not a big deal but if you're gunna serve ramen then a word of advice from someone who's been to Japan for long periods of time. DO IT RIGHT AND YOU'LL MAKE MORE MONEY. Take more time with your broth. It was too bland. Noodles were good IMO. Shredded beef ramen.... more like a bowl of beef soup with ramen noodles! This isn't an attack but just some insight. More importantly I paid 30 bucks for 2 bowls that ended up in the garbage. read more

Lotus Lounge - Idk but it's not Beef Ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

The Lotus Lounge is a super fun place to visit. The ambiance and very memorable and a good spot for a celebration dinner. There were a few vegan options, which I was grateful for but not many. I think 3 things total on their huge menu. But the Sho Jin Roll did NOT disappoint & the sesame sauce that came with it was so delightful. I also tried the Brussel Sprout appetizer and it was also super tasty but really oily. The servers were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating to our wild group. Overall it was a great experience. read more

Really enjoyed this restaurant. I ordered chicken ramen and some appetizers. It was all quite delicious. I feel like this restaurant is somewhat of a hidden gem. Downtown Flagstaff and the street view is deceiving. Great service, fun atmosphere as well. Absolutely worth a visit when you're in town. read more

I am really perplexed as to this review. We had four people at the table. Three of us were fine. The service for the fourth person boarded on criminal. my wife has serious food allergies. she looked online and found several items that she could eat. when we got to the place we found that the menu displayed online was very inaccurate. Had we actually seen the real menu, we would passed on the lotus lounge. Because the place uses cheap substitutes for real Asian dishes (far too many items had potato flour in them) it boiled down to only one item that she liked and which she could eat. So we gave the server her card which is very specific in what she cannot eat. This includes anything in the nightshade family. This card was given to the cook (notice I said cook and not chef). when her soup bowl arrived there were two slices of jalapeños right on top. Neither cook, nor the server knew that jalapeño is a chile, which of course in the night shade family. I find it to be criminal to not train staff properly and furthermore simply negligent that a cook does not know food groups. The server did not charge us for her meal and was very embarrassed. The cook nor the manager never showed up to make apology. My food was good, was the food of the other two people present. read more

Lovely dinner. The appetizers were delicious. 2 standouts were the egg rolls and Brussels sprouts. The main dishes (there were 5 of us) were varied and good. The service was great and our waitress was very attentive. I had a delicious New-New Fashioned beverage. I would definitely come back. Good place if you just wanted appetizers and drinks too. read more

This place smelled so good we had to come in. Service was great! (Lucas) Hostess was warm and smiling (with awesome style). I had the Pork Belly fried rice and the pork melts in your mouth! The Rangoon have real crab, the spring rolls are fresh made and the Cucumber salad was delish! I highly recommend. read more

Great service combined with excellent food. I had the gyoza and Brussels sprouts with orange chicken. Brussels sprouts were amazing and my favorite of the entire meal. Gyoza are the best I have had since living in Japan and the orange chicken was lightly fried eliminating that heavy fried feeling after a meal. Drinks were mixed well, not too strong and not too weak. Service from staff was second to none and when I received the food, I received it from a member of the kitchen staff, like a sign of pride in their preparations. read more

This was my 4th and final attempt to dine at this establishment. On each occasion I arrived during posted business hours to find locked doors and no patrons; if I could rate zero stars I would simply for the fact that they cannot abide by their own posted hours. Unprofessional! I have always been pleased with Karma for sushi, they will continue to have my recommendation. For tonight, Pato (next door to the "restaurant" Lotus Lounge) will provide an exceptional meal as always. read more

Lotus Lounge - ***Zero Stars*** 4th and final time trying to eat at this place. Closed during posted hours on four occasions //different days of this week. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Ummm I contemplated between 3 & 4 because the sushi here is reallllly good. But the host and service kinda suck. I was here a few years ago when it first opened and the device has definitely fallen. There's never a hostess before 5pm to seat people, so it's a cluster whenever people walk in. The severs are nice but a little dense and take Forever to get drinks and sides of sauce when you ask for one. BUT. The sushi. The carrots appetizer and the cocktails are delicious! So def go here for those but don't expect superior service :-} read more

What a great place! The pork belly rice!!! Amazing! Service was really good he was the bar manager dark hair! Be back for sure! Thank you for a great time! read more

I want to give this new place four stars but in all honesty it is your average sushi restaurant. The decor is definitely four stars. I wanted to be impressed. However the sushi rolls are so small. We had to keep ordering more food. Saki was nice. Will I return? Maybe to try the ramen. I was expecting more with the Torched Salmon. It was just salmon rolled, doused with ponzu sauce and torched on top. I could of done that at home. I have better luck at the new sushi take-home at Sam's Club. Huge rolls for less than $7. read more

Their lunch special is TO DIE FOR. A specialty roll, choice of salad, 2 potstickers, AND dessert all for $15!!! I really enjoyed the Monte Vista roll, it was savory sweet and spicy all together, I want another one right now! I also tried their Lychee margarita and was very impressed at the flavor balancing while still holding that authentic margarita taste. I will 100% be back for lunch AND dinner! read more

Found a hair in my shrimp, other than that the food was pretty mediocre for the price. Our server Brittley saved our experience with amazing service even during the Christmas parade. read more

this was our first time here and we had a great time! the ambiance is really great, especially upstairs. it's a fun place to get a drink and hang out for a while. the servers are very friendly, and the food is great (if not a bit expensive). we would definitely come back. i got the veggie ramen, but subbed in udon noodles. at first it tasted a bit bland, but they brought me sriracha which really brought out all the flavors. my partner got the coconut shrimp dinner, which had well breaded pieces of large shrimp and spicy mac salad. we got lychee margaritas which were delicious; and strong! the only critique i have besides high prices is that service is a bit slow, although on a friday night it's expected. we had fun just hanging out, but if you're in a hurry it might not be a perfect choice. read more

Best vegetable tempura ever! Delicious , large sushi rolls. Well-stocked bar and attentive service. Great music and overall vibe!

Rudest and laziest bar staff I've ever come across. I've worked in the industry for over 15 years and have never quite seen this level unprofessional. Needless to say I will never be back... read more

We really enjoyed our first time at Lotus Lounge! For our first time we were a little bold and got the sushi boat. It was the perfect amount of food for my husband and I and we even shared with the others at our table! I'm bummed I didn't get a picture of the other side of the sushi boat but it has sashimi, nigiri, some seaweed salads and 3 of their signature rolls on it! So good! The sunset roll was my favorite! A must try indeed! Our server James was very friendly and attentive! Very pleased with the food and service! read more

I went to lotus lounge for food and drinks the other night with a potential business partner and we were so disappointed in the service we received. Our server Corbin was high out of his mind and couldn't even think. Asking him the simplest things such as can we have more plates and we have napkins and we did not receive any of that. We asked him what the drink of the night was and he still did not know. We will not be back. train your staff. For a $140 tab we expect better. read more

Great place to eat .. it is a little pricy. But the drinks were great and so was the food ! I had the LLDrop and The Royal Wedding. They also play great music. We were seated quickly and everyone was very polite. It was a little hot in there for some reason but other than that, the place had great vibes. Not sure if you could before but during this time you can also order full bottles of wine and other drinks. read more

Top notch all the way. Any doubts I may have had were immediately quashed by the full house of people on a Wednesday night. People kept coming in as we ate. The food is really good. Service is good. Nice room. Definitely worth a visit read more

You know.. the food was not bad. I actually expected it to be worse. I understand this is pan asian, so i expected less flavor naturally. But to be quite honest, the food was decent. The coconut shrimp was good, the fried rice was good, and the ramen was decent. The beef and noodles were very tender and had great texture. The bamboo shoots were gross though, never had such a vinegar flavor in bamboo shoots before. But really, if the ramen bowl was bigger (never seen such a small bowl of ramen before) and the price was $14. I would've given them 4 stars. But it's definitely overpriced and food quantity isnt big. Its still a decent spot that's centrally located. read more

Fantastic food (Pork Belly Fried Rice highly recommended)! Great service by all staff we encountered. We will be back!

This review would be 2 stars if it weren't for our star of a waiter, Corbin. He was kind, attentive, and responsive. I really appreciate him staying calm and collected while being extremely busy! Service was 10/10 AMAZING. Food was alright. We had the firecracker roll (the rice was too dense), seared salmon (would be better if chef used way less oil and quality fish eggs), Brussels sprouts (should be served with sauce on the side to a avoid them getting soggy), and crab rangoons (nothing special). Would come back for Corbin but food was meh. read more

Had cocktails and a lovely dinner of sushi and pork belly fried rice here on a Friday night. The AC wasn't working and it was a hot day for Flagstaff so it was a bit warm but the excellent service from Sebastian compensated for it. We called ahead and got a reservation for one of the tables along the second floor windows looking down on the activity along San Francisco St. A good meal and very pleasant experience. read more

I don't eat sushi and cannot eat wheat, so this is from someone who was part of a group & tried to find something I could eat. The others loved the egg rolls & crab rangoon but I couldn't have them. I got the Lotus Fried Rice and though it had a good flavor, the chicken was dark meat, not white meat and the shrimp was tough. The glass of wine -- house wine on happy hour price -- was fine but otherwise prices are quite high. It was warm in Flagstaff and air conditioning on the upper floor didn't cool the area very well. It was also loud for people who are in an older age group. I would recommend this place for young people who don't mind loud places and also for people who eat sushi. The brightest spot of the evening was our terrific waiter! I didn't get his name due to the level of noise but he was fantastic! A real gem! read more

My first visit to Flagstaff and I happened upon Lotus Lounge. Love the hip atmosphere, full bar and many vegan options. Pictured here the vegan egg rolls. The name, of course, is confusing, but I was assured they were vegan. And since I'm ImperfectlyVegan, am not sweating it. They were delicious! Full of cabbage and other veggies. The New New Fashioned with Japanese Whiskey, lemon, honey simple syrup and bitters did this Old Fashioned girl very well I will be back! Next time, perhaps the Roasted Squash Curry (Vegan), Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Miso Tare (Vegan). #ImperfectlyVegan #SacredExploration read more

Last minute reservation, seated upstairs. Attentive for water and drinks. Then it went down hill. Steak was well done when we ordered med rare , yakisoba was salty, one entree and sushi orders missing and never came. When brought to the waiter attention he went missing too. The portions where small, the chicken was dry and over salted , the fried rice was too salty. Drinks were fine, the homemade lemonade was small, no refills. As for entrees one maki (of the 5 ordered) and a nigiri roll was good, everything else had a problem. the price was not worth the value, the service was friendly but incompetent (they tried to serve food to the wrong table several times for example). This was our second time here, and we had high hopes for a delicious udon ramen bowl (no longer on the menu) and meal again but that did not happen. All in all I would avoid this place. read more

This place has been in steady decline for a few years. It just fell off a Cliff. Ants everywhere! The "manager" gave us a 30 percent discount (how sweet) after our order took 1.5 hours and we had to remind the staff that we needed utensils twice. The drinks were terrible. They couldn't care less. Ive personally been here with customers over 15 times. Never never ever going back. What a comical joke. They'll be out of biz soon. read more
