Nosh or Not
Stop at Lotus Blossom Cafe if…
You’re looking for something a bit healthier than your normal theme park fare. Look for steamed rice and vegetarian options.
You’re craving Chinese takeout and something familiar. Lotus Blossom Cafe is basically a slightly better version of your local Chinese takeout spot (unless you’ve got a REALLY good one near you), and we love it for that reason. If you’re in the mood for something familiar but still a bit different from chicken tenders and fries, Lotus Blossom might be a good call.
You want to eat somewhere with seating. Many Disney World quick-service restaurants lack tables, but Lotus Blossom has tables (and many are under a covered roof).
Skip Lotus Blossom if…
You’re looking for a sit-down meal for a nice break. While Lotus Blossom Cafe isn’t super chaotic, we always recommend booking a table service reservation if you’re really looking to take a rest.
You don’t like or aren’t in the mood for Chinese food. We love that there are so many unique options around the World Showcase, and if you’re not a fan of branching out, consider Connections Eatery or Sunshine Seasons.
You want to eat somewhere with lots of seating for larger parties. Lotus Blossom can still get crowded, which makes it a bit difficult for larger groups to find seating.
