The Strip District isn't just about hunks of cheese at the Macaroni Co. or a 500ft line outside DeLuca's...there's much to be found at Lotus Foods! They are a Chinese grocery store with a wide variety of items and even food to order! Hubs and I just tried their carwheel cakes in custard, red bean and taro and they were cute-looking and yummers!
Prices are super reasonable here. The veggies are always so fresh and nicely packaged. On weekends, the tofu is FRESHLY made and only 40 cents a brick! They even have fresh quail eggs and several kinds of soy milk. They should keep their frozen wonton section stocked more because those are the bees' knees. I would recommend widening the selection of drinks too. I have seen a crazy selection at the Cleveland Chinatown stores so Lotus Foods could possibly take a leaf out of that book.
I do wish there was somewhere to park. It is seriously insane to find a spot because every Pittsburgher hangs around the Strip on the weekends.
