I'm a regular at Lotus, and I have to say it's truly a standout in the world of chain restaurants and strip malls in Gastonia and Charlotte. Ironically, it's located in a strip mall, but could easily fit in in New York City or LA. Any time I have guests from out of town, I make it a point to take them here, and every guest I've ever brought has had a fantastic experience.
Pros: Food, atmosphere, great place to bring out-of-town guests
