Tucked between the glitter of the Diamond District and the lights of Broadway, The Lotus Room glows like a secret meant to be shared only with those who appreciate a little seduction with their supper. Step inside and you’re swept into a world where East meets West in a haze of warm lantern light, velvet shadows, and intoxicating aromas. It’s decadent, indulgent, and just a touch mysterious.
Grab your $49 pulse (a $140 value) for an AYCE Dinner For Two that includes 90 Minutes of Unlimited Dumplings & Noodles, as well as 2 Cocktails to sip alongside your feast.
The creative minds of Josh Kessler, Chef John Creger, and master mixologist Valenda Richardson shape this rendezvous. Creger’s modern Asian menu draws from his tenure in prestigious New York kitchens like Picholine, Public, and the five-diamond Dominick Hotel, while Richardson’s cocktails add their own enchanting layer.
Sip on the Shot In The Dark (vodka, Midori, jasmine tea, prosecco, strawberry mochi) or the spicy, sultry N.I.B., blending mezcal, peach & chili pepper soju, gochujang, yuzu, Lotus Room salt, and candied dried plum. The star attraction begins with dumplings that arrive like little satin-wrapped gems, like Chicken & Corn glowing with gingered sweetness, and the Pork & Chive potsticker perfected with a crisp sear and savory depth.
Then the noodles glide in to steal the spotlight, like Dan Dan tangled with beef, bok choy, and crispy shallots, Yaki Soba shimmering with shrimp, cabbage, and pickled ginger, and the glossy, wok-kissed Chow Fun with chicken, garlic, and dark soy. Hunger is no match for this bliss...
A newly-minted gem, The Lotus Room beckons like a doorway into another world. From the moment you step through its threshold, the city noise softens and a sensual hush takes over - lanterns cast a golden glow, shadows dance across silk textures, and the perfume of spices drift through the air. Here, indulgence is encouraged, where East meets West in an atmosphere crafted for those who savor the thrill of discovery.
The restaurant’s interior draws inspiration from the mystique of Imperial Japan and the bold minimalism of contemporary Asian art, creating an immersive world that feels both timeless and avant-garde. This striking environment becomes the canvas for a culinary and cocktail experience crafted by the creative trio of Josh Kessler, Executive Chef John Creger, and acclaimed mixologist Valenda Richardson.
Creger’s modern Asian cuisine is rooted in tradition yet transformed through innovation, informed by his experience in revered New York kitchens such as Picholine, Public, and the five-diamond Dominick Hotel. Every dish is rooted in tradition but reimagined through a modern lens - think elevated ingredients, unexpected pairings, and constant exploration, capturing the guiding philosophy behind each plate. Richardson’s imaginative beverage program complements this ethos with cocktails that are equal parts artistry and alchemy.
Beyond the dining room lies Confessional, the venue’s hidden speakeasy, concealed behind a restored 1899 church confessional, a dramatic reveal that heightens the sense of discovery. At the omakase-style bar, the scene blurs the line between performance and hospitality as cocktails and conversation unfold.
In every corner of The Lotus Room, mystery, craft, and indulgence intertwine in perfect harmony...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's AYCE Dinner Menu.

The Lotus Room is awarded an impressive 4.9 Stars on Google from 30+ reviews including:
"This new spot is elevated but not pretentious, with vibey lighting and a sexy ambiance. All the cocktails we tried were creative, delicious, and luxurious, but the Okinawa Fashion was the main standout. The food delivered too. Great flavor. The speakeasy was our favorite part, it has a fun entrance with a cool, spooky, and spicy vibe. The bartenders here were 10/10 and the drinks topped our already excellent first round in the restaurant. This will be a must stop to snuggle up."
"This place was an absolutely pleasant surprise. The food was delicious, the ambience was beautiful and the staff was very friendly. The place was a genuine and beautiful. Above and beyond service."
