Lotus Test Kitchen

Lotus Test Kitchen on Chauncy Street gives you several directions for a weekday meal. Teriyaki bowls pair grilled protein and vegetables with rice or noodles, while Korean barbecue and Thai curry dishes offer other options. The kitchen also makes acai bowls, so lunch doesn’t have to mean something hot. Tea gives you a reason to stop in even when you’re only after a drink.

The location is useful for people working or shopping around Downtown Crossing, with online ordering available for pickup. It serves into the early evening on weekdays, which leaves room for dinner before heading home. Lotus is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so save this particular stop for a weekday downtown.
