Lotus Express is a tiny Inwood counter spot focused on Chinese-American combo plates and fast delivery. Regulars rely on it for crispy wings, saucy chicken classics, and big portions that travel well. It’s more of a grab-and-go operation than a sit-down meal, but it consistently fills the neighborhood craving for familiar takeout.
