Great sushi place that offers an intimate atmosphere though the circle booths are a bit constricting if you have mobility issues. The place was a bit busy during a regular weekday lunch which attest to their popularity and how delicious they are! The portions are decent and the place is kept very clean. The waitstaff is very attentive and friendly. I'd recommend the lunchbox specials as well as the sushi platters selection option. read more

Ordered General Tso chicken with brown rice , the chicken was awful dry, and no taste. Also the brown rice was a clump of mush. So disappointed . Did not. One with any condiments as well. I'm sorry. read more

Food is very fresh and very good! Ambiance is refined and cozy at the same time, service is very prompt and friendly. Very clean also!

The interior is absolutely beautiful and the service really good. This is a nice place. Because of certain food allergies I could not partake as much as I would have liked at this place but I sampled their yummy rolls and they are melt in your mouth good. I also have tried a few of their soups which are also good. I can't get over the service and how many times they check on you. They also do not hover. They just want to make sure you have a good meal. This is a lovely place that I think people would enjoy. read more

Amazing quality of food... not only the normal fishes, you can find things like toro, uni, baby salmon

The food is very good, menu items are a little different from the norm but also offers familiar flavors and tastes. I recently tried them mainly because I saw they offered curbside pickup and walking has been a bit of a challenge lately. They were great about the pickup (not everyone is), the food was fresh and delicious! I'm glad I did! I look forward to eating there soon. Thanks to Iggy for recommending the Szechwan Crispy Beef, good call! read more

Excellent and upscale. Reminded me of the Asian fusion places around Westport. The new owners did a stunning job redecorating. I'll have to admit I was never drawn to return as I thought it was still the old school, family style Asian place that had been in this same location for years. Boy was I wrong and what time I wasted by not trying Red Lotus. Great wine list, bar area and many inventive dishes from which to choose. I asked for a custom dish of eggplant and veggies in a black bean sauce and it was excellent. When I return, I'll start making my way around the creative menu. read more

Red Lotus - Shrimp Tempura Roll, Huntington Roll, and they made a special request roll which was tuna, mango and avocado. Absolutely amazing quality. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Shelton, Connecticut

Fantastic! I was traveling for work and looking for a convenient and healthy dinner. I found Red Lotus and very glad I did. I ordered the 15pc Sashimi dinner and it was fantastic! Sushi Chef Jason did an amazing job. The Sashimi and Sushi roll was fresh and properly prepared. (The picture only tells 1/2 a thousand words! The food owns the other half) I have to say the whole staff including Chef Jason, the waitress, and Nia and Larry, the owners, made a great meal a memorable dinner. Thank you and I'll be back! read more

Went for dinner with my son. Had the Sushi and Sashimi for two. It was excellent. Food was very fresh. The restaurant was busy and hence it took some time for us to get our meal. The staff and owners were very nice. Highly recommend this place. read more

Had the Sunshine Lobster Roll and Pork Belly Sliders this time. Absolutely blown away by the complex flavors. The roll came with three sauces, mango, , and Wasabi. All three were awesome in their own right. I prefer the Wasabi and the mango. I may even ask for the Wasabi sauce alone next time. It was that good. Don't miss this place. It's a gem. read more

This is like one of the few Asian spots near me that is actually doing indoor dinning right now. I went out for a nice dinner for 2 on a weeknight. Although reservations aren't required they are accepting them. This place is like a hidden jewel in a plaza! I mean ample parking right now for sure! The restaurant is beautiful!!! Big huge round booths and really shiny and fancy chop sticks! Yup, that's right no broken wood sticks but metal ones! I felt so official haha!! I loveeeeeeeddd the wait staff. We had Erica and even though she just started she made sure to help make our first visit was a pleasure! The staff interacts, recommends food and gives you plenty of time to chat with your friends but are on the sidelines waiting on your every need! Now, onto the fooood!! YUMM I love everything I had lol!! This is an Asian fusion spot so the best of the best just came together. I never had the duck & steamed buns combo so we decided to try something new. They are called duck sliders and lemme tell you the sauce is sweet, the duck is savory and the softness of the bun its just all delicious !! Try it!! I had the Koi spicy salad too nice big portion!! Our rolls speak for themselves ! Fish was fresh! And the presentation on the plates just so beautiful! The staff even made me a nice lychee martini though it wasn't on the menu... I gave it 4 because I wish there was a little bit more special sushi roll options buttt I'm definitely going back again!!! What a great first time experience! Oh and ps. The bathrooms are clean and all the staff wear masks! read more

We arrived about 10 minutes after opening on a Friday- upon walking in, we were greeted by a woman who was vacuuming. It was a little weird to be sitting down to eat with someone vacuuming around you. Not a deal breaker, just odd. Our waitress was very sulky, maybe she was having a bad day? That happens, but I don't think we saw her smile once, which can make you feel uncomfortable. I had also asked her about what my sushi was wrapped in, because I had never seen that "pink wrapping" before- she seemed a little defensive about it and replied with, "Oh...well...that's always like that." My husband had to tell her we weren't upset, just curious. She didn't know what it was and had to go ask someone else. It was soy paper. The food itself was pretty average. I really enjoyed my sushi roll, The Red Lotus Roll- lots of good flavor in there. My seaweed salad was good, spicy. My husband said his salmon avocado roll was good and felt like the miso soup and fried rice was really bland- and it was. The veggie dumplings were basic. The vibe of the restaurant was pretty cool, modern, gives you the impression that it's a fine dining place- although we dressed casually and didn't feel under-dressed. Overall, it was an OK experience. The sushi had good flavor, but we don't feel like we really need to go back. read more

Review: Ordered curbside pickup from Red Lotus. Phone Ordering: staff was pleasant and helpful. Curbside Pickup: Arrived when suggested on the phone and they were outside and ready to deliver my food to my car in minutes. Food: EXCELLENT. The tuna dumpling are amazing. I could eat just that and be very happy. Korean beef - spicy and delicious. The red curry was a little watery than I would normally like but it was still very tasty. Will definitely order again!! read more

I've always loved this place! Truly an awesome spot to get your Asian cuisine fix. This time around, we ordered the Tuna dumplings and I got the Maki B entree with Miso soup. Delicious! Excellent curbside takeout process and such wonderful customer service. read more

I have been a longtime customer of this fine dining establishment and I have nothing but praise for the quality of the fresh food and excellent service we've come to expect from Larry and his staff at Red Lotus. On tonight's visit, I sampled the pan-fried pork gyoza (best I've ever had) and the spicy Korean pepper beef (superb)! If spice is not your thing, definitely try the Szechuan crispy beef. The sushi here is also excellent, my favorites are the Spicy girl roll and Shelton Tri-Color roll. Be sure to ask for the best/friendliest staff around, Ariana (bartender) and Tony (server)! What a team! read more

I truly believe that Red Lotus deserves five stars, I've been here numerous times and typically it's my first thought when I want a good dining experience If you haven't tried Red Lotus, you are really missing out read more

Food is authentic great for a romantic place dinner very clean friendly and very relaxing and nice.

Prices are too expensive. The food was okay and the service was good. The atmosphere was nice.

The food here at Red Lotus was pretty good. I wasn't sure what to expect, but with reviews like this place has, I wanted excellence. The food I ate here was great, in this case, a coconut curry. I was pleased with the consistency, the flavor profile, sweet and yet spicy, and the quality of the whole plate. It was hot, and came quickly. What really ended the night well, was sitting at the bar having a conversation with the owner and his wife, exceptionally nice people. They were sweet enough to comp us a free drink, and it really left us pleased with the experience. Enjoy it! read more

The best General Tsao's around. The quality of the chicken used is outstanding, the oil used is clean, and the tangy flavoring is absolutely delectable. Further more, This has to be some if the freshest, cleanest, and tastiest sushi around. I've been to sushi places all over the map, and Red Lotus is truly one of the best for sushi. The fish is mouth watering flavorful (you never get a fridge fish taste) and the rice is always fresh. The purple rice served here is a must try. It compliments the fresh fish, leaving you with a perfectly blended taste in your mouth. Wasabi, Ginger, and chef's sauces are always made to outstanding standards. Finally, The atmosphere of this place is outstanding. The restaurant is always clean, and pleasant to the senses. The music and lighting set the perfect mood for relaxation as you dine. The staff is trained to be friendly, and timely with your order. Whether here for a business meeting at lunch, a date at dinner, or just a casual meal at anytime -- You (and your possible party) will be impressed with what Red Lotus has to offer. read more

Red Lotus - This General Tsao's dish is the best around - Asian Fusion Near Me - Shelton, Connecticut

I've been here numerous times and they never disappoint. Atmosphere: very relaxed with nice booths and tables. If you go during lunch time you'll see a lot of the corporate employees from the headquarters around town. The tables are lit with tea lights and flowers. Very nice touch. Customer service: always excellent! One time the owner came out to greet us and ask how our meal was. He isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and help. I love that! The waitresses/waiters are always around to help with any necessities, but aren't overbearing. Food: Delish! I've gotten so many different dishes from this place from these cream-stuffed jalapeño bits for appetizers to their udon. They have special menus every time I go in there with something new. I always try something from that menu because it blows me away. Their crabs Rangoon is Would I recommend? I always do! Will I be back? Most likely. read more

I cannot recommend Red Lotus high enough. My wife and I have been to every sushi / Asian fusion restaurant in Fairfield and decided to venture to Shelton. We couldn't be more pleased with the amazing staff, and inviting environment from owners Larry and Nia. We had a special opportunity to be taken care of by Larry due to it being so busy by the time we got there Saturday night. Our meal consisted of a salmon sashimi, pork spare ribs, duck sliders, and a speciality roll. The preparation, quality of ingredients, and taste were all exceptional. This is our new go-to spot and we will be bringing our friends/family in as well. Thank you Red Lotus for making our date night one to remember! read more

Some of the dishes are very good and some are just OK on the negative side their ribs are not to tasteful plus I have a lot of fat in them.

Well it has been more than 5 years since we moved from Shelton, but we were back in the area and had a fabulous dinner at Red Lotus. From Nia greeting us at the door it was a wonderful dinner. NIA's Dumplings, Paradise Roll and then Red Tai coconut Curry Chicken we're all exceptional both in presentation and taste. We are exceptionally fussy and Red Lotus continue to serve a great meal with great service, comfort and decor. Can't wait to come back!!! read more

IF ONLY THERE WERE SIX STARS. I just had one the best dining experiences of my life at Red Lotus! Talk about feeling welcome in an unfamiliar area, the moment I sat down at the sushi bar I felt like a regular. Huge shout out to Jason the sushi chef. We talked for an hour about life, love, and everything in between. And my server Kate was on point every step of the way. I ordered the Madai special, which I was told comes straight from Japan. And the Duck Sliders were also super tasty! If I am ever in the area again, I will go out of my way to come back. Great job to the entire staff!!! read more
