Lotus Hot Pot Grill - Gladstone

The male server is really good at serving us! They were short staffed but still fast service. We love the hot pot and the bbq of course! i’m more surprise that their restrooms are very clean too! Lol

They may be short staffed but we were serviced quickly. we’ve only been to one other hot pot (in Orlando) and we really preferred their broth over that one. the spicy one was ACTUALLY spicy and the crab rangoons were soo good and pretty large portion for like $5. this place is only 15 mins from downtown kc and wasn’t a bad drive.

Delicious and a great experience grilling your own food, picking your own sides and sauces. Can not wait to go back

Overall a really solid hot pot place. Meats were fresh, tender from super thin cuts, and high quality (not to mention massive portions), though I found the beef/pork/lamb offerings stronger than the seafood options, unsurprising given KC’s lack of nearby large bodies of waterImportantly, I loved the Tom yum and herb broths, which were VERY flavorful (highlight of this place for me) but a bit on the salty and greasy side. The sauces were definitely on the heavy side and too salty, requiring a substantial bit of dilution, and still culminating in a lot of thirst after.

This was out first time having a Hot pot and what an experience! Lotus Hot Pot Grill gave us a great experience with awesome customer service and amazing food. I had the Spicy House special broth and my husband had the herbal. We shared the seafood combo and the vegetable combo. So much food for great prices and with our dietary needs we were both were satisfied and full.
