Lotus Blossom Caf\u00e9<\/a> is my daughter\u2019s favorite place to have a quick service meal in all of Walt Disney World<\/a>.\u00a0 I have to admit that we have overlooked this Epcot<\/a> World Showcase dining location for a handful of years.\u00a0 We have plenty of Chinese take-out restaurants at home, and would walk past Lotus Blossom Caf\u00e9 in favor of something we couldn\u2019t easily get at home.<\/p>\n

My daughter is a selective (OK, picky) eater and there has been little in the World Showcase that appealed to her.\u00a0 Chicken nuggets are something she would eat at home, and years ago we convinced her to give Lotus Blossom an honest try since it had Orange Chicken (nuggets) on the menu and it would be a new place for us to dine.\u00a0 She was a good sport, and agreed to eat an Orange Chicken nugget.\u00a0 It was love at first bite!<\/p>\n

Since that vacation, a meal at Lotus Blossom Caf\u00e9 has been her World Showcase priority. \u00a0We all enjoy the Orange Chicken, and that\u2019s my go-to entr\u00e9e when eating at Lotus Blossom Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Lotus Blossom Cafe has open air dining, but is covered so most of the tables are in the shade.\u00a0 The atmosphere is nice because if you get a table toward the open air window you can see the Temple of Heaven off to the side and it\u2019s a good place to people watch and relax.\u00a0 The orange light fixtures and wall hangings fit well with the China Pavilion at Epcot and overall it\u2019s a comfortable place to sit.<\/p>\n

On our most recent trip, my daughter and I had dinner here.\u00a0 I decided to try something new, so we started our meal with pot stickers.\u00a0 They were hot and fresh and had a chicken based filling.\u00a0 I thought they were quite tasty!<\/p>\n

\"Lotus<\/p>\n

We both ordered the Orange Chicken.\u00a0 The portion of this entr\u00e9e is big enough to share if you are not too hungry or if you\u2019re trying to stretch your quick service dining credits on the Disney Dining Plan<\/a>.\u00a0 Just ask for an extra plate if you plan to share.\u00a0 Orange Chicken is one meal my daughter doesn\u2019t like to share, so we each got our own entr\u00e9es.\u00a0 It was so good that we both made a decent dent into our meals!\u00a0 The chicken had a crispy coating and the citrus flavor was noticeable but not too strong.\u00a0 The rice was slightly sticky and blended well with the chicken.<\/p>\n

\"Lotus<\/p>\n

We did not get dessert for this meal because there are other dessert and snack options in the World Showcase that we like better than the dessert offerings at Lotus Blossom Caf\u00e9.\u00a0 In the past, we have had Lychee Ice Cream and Caramel Ginger Ice Cream.\u00a0 If you do opt for ice cream, you can ask to have your receipt stamped for ice cream when you order your food.\u00a0 When you\u2019re finished eating your entr\u00e9e, you can go back for the ice cream dessert and that way the ice cream won\u2019t melt while you have your meal.<\/p>\n

\"Lotus<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t grabbed a bite at Lotus Blossom Caf\u00e9 yet, it\u2019s worth a try!\u00a0 For small bites, you could split the Orange Chicken among a few people and take a little time to relax in China.<\/p>\n
