Lotus Chophouse & Sushi Bar | Our Story

Where Gastonia Comes to The Table

In a quiet Gastonia neighborhood, Lotus Chophouse & Sushi Bar delivers something nobody expected: hand-cut steaks, a full sushi bar, and Lowcountry soul — all under one roof.
The Place Nobody Saw Coming

Tucked off Hoffman Road, Lotus opened with big-city ambition and an industrial-hip interior that made people stop and look twice. Gastonia didn't know it needed this — until it did.
Rooted in Southern Tradition

Rooted in Southern Tradition

The kitchen draws from Lowcountry classics and High Southern technique, pushed forward with modern American sensibility and locally sourced ingredients. Fresh-catch specials rotate with the seasons.

From the private lounge to catering beyond these walls, good food has always been about the people you share it with. That's what keeps Gastonia coming back.
