Tucked inside the sultry elegance of the Baccarat Lounge, Red Lotus is where East meets edge. This is fusion with flair—bold flavors, cinematic presentation, and a vibe that steals the spotlight.
Not even worth the one star! This place is so deceiving. Cooks in the back look like they are cooking but are just basically reheating! I ordered egg rolls and a spicy cucumber salad. Salad was basically butter pickles topped with a pepper. Egg rolls were beyond greasy and veggies were slimy and mushy. Definitely not worth the money. So disappointed!

The salt and pepper shrimp were not salt and pepper, more like small fried shrimp. The wonton and noodle broth had no flavor and only 4 dumplings served in a plastic container and no real spoons. Crab rangoon was 3 small pieces of cream cheese in a small pastry. Where was the crab? Overall 3 dishes and $40 later. Will not eat here again.

Very disappointed. We were supposed to be dine in yet. Our meals came out and carry out containers in a plastic bag. We ordered the dumplings which were so overcooked. They fell apart, and we couldn’t even use the dipping sauce. I ordered the chicken and someone should have told me they were chicken wings. Four chicken wings for $16! My husband ordered the shrimp and it was tasty yet plain and bland with just the rice sitting next to it. Don’t forget to mention that you charge a service charge on top of asking for a tip. ! Spent nearly $60 on three items plus waters and it was very overpriced and nothing amazing.

The food is just awful. It's worse than high school cafeteria quality. Overpriced.

Meh. I tried 2 dishes. $17.00 (including tax & tip) for the Wonton Noodles. Not worth the price. Tast like Ramen noodles you buy at the store and the wontons were gummy. Ordered the Vegetable Egg Rolls. $8.78. They were super small! You get 4 to an order for $8.00; they were finger sized food at best, plus they were burnt and greasy. 🙄 (See photo)
I usually try to give restaurant a couple of chances before I write a review. I'll try a couple more dishes (they don't have that many) and will update my review if it's a better experience. So far, C-.
