Lotus of St. George

The kitchen works across Chinese, Thai and Japanese cooking rather than specializing in one, pairing traditional dishes with modern technique, and the bar carries premium sake. River Road is the main north-south route along the eastern side of St. George.

The wider picture

Working across Chinese, Thai and Japanese cooking in one kitchen is a pan-Asian format that larger markets have largely moved away from in favor of specialization, but it suits a city this size, where a single-cuisine room can struggle to fill seats every night. Sake is brewed from rice rather than distilled, which makes it closer to beer than to spirits in production if not in strength, and premium grades are defined by how much of each grain is polished away before brewing.
