Lotus House

Sometimes, when you're too wiped to whip up a quinoa salad or broccoli bake - all that'll do instead is a good mess of chicken lo mein ($6.15) and crab rangoon ($5.55), served up in old-school white takeout containers with a fortune cookie on the side. When one of those cravings strikes, Lotus House is your home for spring rolls ($2.85), egg drop soup ($2.35) and cashew chicken ($10.95). Easy, breezy. So head to Kendall for some Chinese classics on those all-too-exhausting days.
