Using our 35 years of experience working with natural and organic foods, we have created unique recipes and sourced special ingredients,many that we grow on our farm, to bring you the authentic flavors of Northern Thailand, Burma, India and Indonesia cooked without the slew of artificial ingredients commonly used in all other Asian restaurants.

We use Fresh herbs and spices to make all our dishes; NO bottled or canned sauces are used at Lotus
and we are 100% gluten free!

Being Hawaii's only Pan-Asian restaurant, with a great menu of dishes not offered anywhere else in Hawaii, and serving fresh and delicious food, we have built a huge following of clients just by word of mouth. Our focus is on serving delicious cuisine, thats fresh and healthy

There is

no secret to how we do this. Our chef prepares our sauces and curries from scratch using mostly local and organic ingredients, many we grow ourselves. We
