It’s good if you work or are going to school in the medical district but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it.
I like getting it for my work lunch because it’s light and filling. $10 for a sandwich and they don’t skimp on the meat!

Solid. Belly banh mi is the best. Avocado banh mi is vegetarian not vegan.

Best Banh mi in the city! Great spot. Also has good rice and noodle dishes. Pho is okay. Spring rolls and sauce are great!

The food is great and service is always friendly and helpful!

We ordered some Pho soup which was very tasty… I highly recommend it… the quantity is sufficient. The attention is very fast and good. Restrooms need some improvement as the men's sink needed a plumber because it doesn't drain water.

I had the pork belly classic. Omg - super fresh and delicious. The crisp fresh beef on the bun paired with the sweet pork belly. Don't forget the specialty coffee.

Super delicious banh mi! The beef is really good. They let me substitute as well for no charge. Service was also fast. The prices are high. I recommend parking on Maxwell; you can't park on the street where the restaurant is.

We ordered 300 sandwiches (4 flavors) and 200 spring rolls for our community, and it was AMAZING! Not only was the food delicious, they had single wrapped each sandwich and put it in labeled boxes, gave us extra sauces, and helped us set up the event! It was very clear that they had thought through the process, and I really value that! I highly recommend ordering large catering orders— very impressed with their service and presentation. The food was gone in no time and ppl kept coming back for more—so good! Will be ordering with them again!

Ordered delivery. The honey grilled pork banh mi is amazing. Full disclaimer, my favorite banh mi in the city is Nhu lan, and there isn’t a close second. But Lotus Cafe does a great job of making (Americanized) banh mi. If you want traditional sandwiches with pate and gelatinous meats, go to argyle. If you’re looking for a great tasting sandwich on the go, this is the place! There’s also a location by my office that’s been clutch after a night out.
