| - Like several other reviewers, I went to Khotan because a friend had a Groupon and we of course waited until the last minute to use it.
I checked out the menu before going and was really scared. It really looked like a Panda Express menu with such exotic choices as sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken, and beef and broccoli. Authentic, Khotan is not. But, hey, it's food and we had a coupon.
The decor inside is really wonderful, with really interesting jade statues, ivory carvings, and a wall of gold, vault-like boxes. A++ for effort there.
We were seated outside and it was a nice night. But, seriously, that Sirens show is craptastic and if you're not a fan, sit inside.
We ordered Khotan lobster, chicken lo mein, brown rice, and a tempura platter. The sauce in the Khotan lobster is great, but, gasp, it's $36. The chicken lo mein was "eh," very boring and the chicken was slightly overcooked. The tempura platter was delicious but anything fried always is. I'm conflicted because I generally liked the execution, food, and service, but it was such a boring menu I'd probably never go back. If you want expensive Panda Express-esque food with a strip view, however, this is your place.
