Lucky Lotus

Stopped at Lucky Lotus yesterday when I was in Des Moines and was delighted to see so many vegan options. I got the veggie dumplings and orange tofu. I was so impressed, the coating on the tofu was spectacular and the atmosphere of the restaurant was really fun. Going to have to make a trip to Des Moines again soon!!

Just tried Lucky Lotus for the first time. Exquisite food! Fresh ingredients expertly prepared. Everything was piping hot and really well balanced. Service was excellent. You order up front but they bring the food and we were checked up with to make sure everything was good. I will be back many times!

Gluten free/dairy free? You can eat so many items on the menu! Lucky Lotus is consistently delicious, accessible for folks on special diets, and interesting. Favorites are the crispy rice wraps (pictured), the lucky tofu, whatever curry is seasonal on their menu, the after school fried rice, and the sesame balls. The only downside is that they're not open 24/7 or that I don't actually live in the restaurant itself.
