Where Gastonia Comes to The Table

In a quiet Gastonia neighborhood, Lotus Chophouse & Sushi Bar delivers something nobody expected: hand-cut steaks, a full sushi bar, and Lowcountry soul — all under one roof.

The food, atmosphere, and employees here are all amazing. The food was a 10/10, and this place even has a sushi bar - the sushi here is also top notch and delicious. The waiters and waitresses are all very helpful, and also very friendly. The host and hostess are very inviting and also very welcoming.

Lotus was quite the surprise. I met my girlfriends there and the drinks were amazing and this place has something for everyone. I had the ribeye and cooked to perfection. We also shared the potstickers. My friends had the salmon and the flatbread pizza. All were excellent. I plan to go back.

Last minute wedding reception they did an amazing job accommodating us! Good food, good drinks and amazing service rounded out this pretty venue where little decorations were needed. We were very happy and recommend them for anyone looking to host a small to medium event.

I have had the absolute SWEETEST and most attentive servers here. I wish I could call them by name, but they are all amazing! The food is great, atmosphere great and people are loving. It seems like they have good management and the employees are a reflection of that😊
