Little Lotus

Make a reservation before you go. Enjoy the atmosphere of being down by the water at the marina for your date night. Parking is reserved with cones, so call when you arrive so you can park. Seating can be inside or out. We started with a bottle of sake to start the night. Ordered some enjoyable bits and bites that were works of art to eat. Next we ordered miso soup with a beautiful broth. 12 course Omakase was next and ended with cake. Staff were informative and helpful to make decisions on what to enjoy for drinks and food.

Had a wonderful experience at the Little Lotus on our first visit! From the upscale vibe to the attentive and friendly staff, we were super impressed at this new addition to City Point and will definitely be back soon. Chef Larry has crafted an amazing menu (alongside Chefs Russell, David and Alex), the highlight of which was the Chef’s table Omakase tasting menu. Our 14-course tasting was a treat for the senses, visually stunning in every way (see pictures below), prepare for a rollercoaster ride of delicious flavors that will delight your tastebuds. The drinks equally unique and exceptional - the highlights including a Japanese whisky old fashioned, sensational Pinot Grigio and a twist on a pistachio martini that’s off the charts. Don’t walk - run - to try this one-of-a kind restaurant that is quickly becoming a must-visit destination in New Haven.

It was very enjoyable to go to Little Lotus, in New Haven, by the water!! As frequent visitors of its 'older sibling' restaurant, Red Lotus in Shelton, my Dad and I were excited to try it. Little Lotus proved to be a great experience!! The corn edamame, the mixed green salad, and the miso soup, were great starters.We went on to enjoy spicy salmon, tuna, and yellowtail sushi rolls, as well as the Little Lotus Roll (lobster, shrimp & crabmeat). All was fresh and fantastic!! The terrific dessert, a matcha crepe cake, was very unique, and tasty! Tin and Jan were wonderful, friendly, and helpful. I have a food allergy, and felt assured that anything I had would be safe. The only thing missing was getting to see Larry and his lovely wife, so I would like to extend a special hello & thank you, too. If you love great food and service, be sure you make a plan to go to Little Lotus as soon as possible🪷 ❤️

One of the best meals I've had in New Haven in some time. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors were complex and delightful. We had the honey prawn appetizer which exceeded all expectations. Excellent cocktails. I also enjoyed the atmosphere. The small dining room felt both friendly and airy. Chef Larry made us feel at home. Highly recommended. We are looking forward to returning.

Damn that was so good, I had to do it twice. Manny was the absolute best at helping me choose the gold on that a la carte section. The magical energy those master sushi gentlemen put into the sushi has me booking my next rest right away. Cannot wait to come back again! Don’t sleep on this gem✨🍣

We celebrated my daughter’s birthday here and could not have asked for a better experience! The service was absolutely amazing. The staff, especially Wen-Wen, was so friendly and welcoming, and the owner even came out personally to wish my daughter a happy birthday. Such a thoughtful touch! The food was delicious, with so many great options on the menu that we’re already planning our next visit to try more. The location on the water makes it extra special, and it truly is such a wonderful addition to the City Point neighborhood and New Haven. 10/10 highly recommend!

Our experience was nothing short of remarkable. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable, making us feel welcomed and valued. We started with the sushi appetizers, and they were absolutely divine—each piece was expertly crafted, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The shrimp bao was a standout dish, truly transporting us to another world with its delicate bun and succulent filling. For our entrée, we chose the lamb chops, cooked to perfection and seasoned flawlessly; they were tender and juicy, leaving us completely satisfied. Overall, it was an extraordinary dining experience that exceeded our expectations in every way.

Very friendly staff, super warm and welcoming Food was amazing! Will definitely be back.
