VegKC Lotus Hot Pot & Grill - Restaurant Meetup

VegKC Lotus Hot Pot & Grill Restaurant Meetup!
📍 Located in Little Saigon Plaza in Gladstone Missouri.

🍴ABOUT THE VENUE
They offer a variety of flavorings for vegan broth and a significant chunk of the ingredients on their menu are vegan-friendly!

"Down-to-earth, airy establishment serving traditional Asian barbecue, noodles & soup."

They serve large bowls of broth and you can order assorted ingredients to add and cook into your dish at the table. Generally geared towards large family style portions, although they've recently reworked things so it may be a little different. They have switched to a "all you care to eat" model, so sadly no leftovers to take home. Ordering is now done via a tablet and includes vegan options!
