I tried the Pho from recommendations of people that I know have stimulating flavor buds just as myself I must say that it was excellent.
Delicious! Wonderful food, friendly staff, good prices. I loved the tofu sandwich. I'm going to bring my friends back for dinner sometime soon!
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!
Quick and light dishes. Great place for sandwiches (Banh mi) or salads, spring rolls. And my ultimate favorite crispy wings!!! The soy glazed wings are to die for. With your choice of mild or hot spice!!!
I now order delivery so my pictures you'll see are from delivery only.
This place is amazing! Affordable, tasty, has this local community feel. Wings were the best!
Banh mi and wings are great here. The food comes out fast and fresh. The jasmine iced tea is also really good.
Lotus has excellent seasoned dishes. Overall, tasty food, prefect banh mi bread, delicious pho, could use a better Vegan banh mi option, clean and cute atmosphere. Highly recommend for a Vietnamese craving without having to drive all the way to Argyle.
The Seared beef pho was very tasty! They didn't skimp out on the herbs needed in the broth. It was almost perfectly seasoned how I make mine!
Veggiecado banh mi was very filling, they sure stuffed a lot in that thing! Although it was tasty and we are very thankful for a vegetarian banh mi, we still prefer Ba Le's vegetarian sandwiches.
Classic Belly banh mi was actually really good. The pork belly was seasoned well. I do think they needed to add more of that.
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.
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.
Got delivery from GrubHub here and their food is soooo good!! I got the veggiecado Bahn Mi and the veggie spring rolls. The veggies were fresh and the tofu marianted well. Will totally order again 😁
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!
Solid. Belly banh mi is the best. Avocado banh mi is vegetarian not vegan.
