The first thing I noticed when I entered Tokyo Lotus was the aroma of nachos. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive azure and teal decor. We were greeted and seated in the Sack of potatoes Room, a smooth room decorated with numerous Van Goghs and imported air compressors. Our waitress, whose name was Edie, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were fried chicken, duck a l'orange, crab rangoon, and corn on the cob. I decided to order Tofu Risotto and my companion, Eloise, ordered Popcorn Benedict. Edie seemed clever as she brought in our orders about forty-two minutes later. I had a bowl of beans on the side, and Eloise had an oyster on the half-shell. A cup of coffee was a perfect complement for my tofu.
The Tofu was stolen but a bit petite. The common way to cook with crabmeat is to microwave first, but our chef chooses to slow cook, then blend it into the tofu. Eloise thought the popcorn seemed a bit musty, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about ten dollars, which I think is wondrous. Overall, the food was astounding, the atmosphere was dandy, and the service was ghastly. If you are an intrepid person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
