Great food, lots of delicious options, knowledgeable staff, and cozy atmosphere. Price was very reasonable and there was a lot of it. The staff were friendly and helpful and I’m excited to go back and try other options. Good tofu for vegetarians.

Lotus is a true gem! I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before today. My partner and I ordered takeout, because we were too tired to cook. Thai sounded good to both of us, so we decided to try Lotus. We were not disappointed.
We ordered mock duck spring rolls, tofu pad Thai, tofu chow fun, and mango bubble tea. The stand-outs were the friend tofu and the mango bubble tea. The tofu was crispy and chewy and fried to perfection. The mango bubble tea tasted so fresh and appeared to be made with fresh mango juice. The boba were so soft and melted in your mouth.
Everything was so tasty! I can’t wait to go back!

I always really wanted to eat here, and after several attempts I did :) the first time I had an arroz con puerco and it was delicious and a big portion! the second a Phö with meatballs that although they were not the best, the broth helped a lot, the Mango Thai tea 🥭 was incredible, and the pad Thai was delicious 😋, good place and friendly staff!

Visiting from out of town, and this was our last stop. It felt so cozy in there, and our food was amazing! Good prices too! $11.99 for a lunch special which includes a little solo appetizer, an entree/soup, and a side of rice :)

One of my favorite places to eat in Maple Grove. BBH, lotus wings, pot stickers are just a few of my favorites. Service is always great. Friendly and welcoming.

Tiny place with great food. We were trying to get a table for 4, but it was packed. So we took our food to go. Good portions, good flavor at a good price.Sorry, no pictures of the food got back to our hotel hungry and forgot.

Great service. Wonderful food close to our hotel. Always happy to support local businesses. We ordered a small chicken pho for $9 and a large house pho for $13 and spring rolls for $8. Money well spent.

It’s ok. I enjoyed the pad Thai with shrimp dish.
It could have been hotter both temperature wise and spicy wise.
Henry Zhang
Been there two or three times, the taste is great and the price is cheap. Pho is rich in materials and large in quantity. Spring rolls are delicious with sweet and spicy sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by the special fried chicken wings. I personally like to try a few different dishes, so I order more. Thai milk tea has a unique taste and is recommended to try.

I love fresh spring rolls, but the spicy pho soup was really salty. I tried to separate and only eat the noodles and meat from the soup. The meat in the pho was delicious tho.

Ordered through UberEATS and happy with the selection. Banh Mi has great flavor, crusty bread and just the right kick of spice. Spring rolls have a very fresh flavor and come in a generous portion size.
jessica lozenski
I love them so much. Amazing flavor profile and always there for you and fast. The only thing is they are not spicy. If you order a level 5 it will always come out a level 1. I just want to feel my mouth burn and they never make that happen
Rob Marone
Really good service and great food. The spring rolls were served cold like a salad and not like I was expecting but super good. The Pad Thai was good but the garlic dish was amazing. Would visit again soon.

Was working down the street, decided to get lunch here... seriously, the best eggrolls I ever had thin an crispy shell was the best even after hours and I microwaved them, they did not turn soggy. Still delicious an crispy.

A hidden gem! Or at least, hidden from me because I only just discovered it.
The food is awesome and only upstaged by the amazing service.
We got the Singapore noodles with tofu and the Pad Thai with chicken. Both were really really good. The guy was very helpful with suggestions and spice levels. The service here was one of the friendliest of any place I've been to. Little kid wandered off the street and asked if he could have a cup of bubbles (bubble tea bubbles) and the guy gave him a small cup of bubbles for free. That was really cool to see that the kid was treated with respect and kindness. Service and food were very quick too.
It's a busy place with limited parking. There are street parking depending on time of day.
I'll definitely be back.

Try the beef chow fun and make it spicy! Delicious. And of course they have the best egg rolls in town.
Liz Peter
The food is delicous and the service and friendly attitudes are the best in the city. I would recommend the pho, Gum ga, Vietnamese salad with grilled pork, anything with vegetables and the fried pot stickers. You can't go wrong with any of their food!!

I stumbled upon lotus 7 years ago. Left Minneapolis and came back 2 years back and its still the amazing joint it has always been. I am vegetarian and their Veggie Pho does not disappoint. My fav gotos are veggie pho, vermecelli salad with mock duck, the tofu bahn mi and the egg rolls.
Not only is the food always amazing (never failed me) the people are even more awesome. I am here at least once a week if not more!
i dont do many review- but you guys totally deserve a shout out!
Michelle Mizuhata
The best place in Minneapolis to get pho� and the best customer service.
Devin Kirk Puruganan
Hand make by mom and dad...uh... yes please. They continue to bring a neighborhood feel, while keeping the menu leaning towards the "family recipe" authenticity. They have adapted some menu items to appeal to the broad and (culturally and economically) diverse clientele. They get very busy and do an amazing job of treating all walks respectfully.
Doyle Reece
Very small genuine feel. Heard some Bob Marley in the background and had one of the best bowls of � ever. Will be returning :)

Just want to give a VERY BIG shout out to The Lotus Restaurant for give us the best customer service & hospitality to my little family and I. BEST PHO I have ever had in years! Noodles and meat on point, bean sprout hella freaken crispy fresh, spring roll actually has flavor with every bite i took out of it, and I have never seen my husband down so much chicken wings ever at a restaurant. The atmosphere was so homey, i love it! Thank you! We are definitely coming here again!
Jan Schwietz
The authentic Vietnamese food here is just outstanding, fresh & like homemade. Generous portions. Very friendly staff.
Alex Zamarripa
The best pho in the twin cities, their broth is just divine on a cold day. Always great service when I come in and I cannot wait for their new location coming to uptown!!
Donna Lang
Love the food; it's some of the best Asian cuisine in the Twin Cities. But I had a bad experience with them just minutes ago: they forgot my cream cheese wontons even though I ALWAYS order them whenever I go there. Makes me wonder if they value me as a customer as much as I believed in them as a culinary pillar of my community. �
Tom Andrewsh
Favorite neighborhood joint! Hope the new uptown location takes away some of the crowd here... just being selfish.
Meng Lee
The pho is great. Shrimp temporal is the best. Service is awesomeness. Love the fresh home plant peppers, tasted great not that spicy still love it.
Jacob McQuiston
Was absolutely amazing! Food was delicious, big portions, and a good variety. Com Tam is what I would recommend.

Kyle Schleis
A friend of mine recommended this place. The wait can be excessive and they don't always answer the phones, but the Pho is amazing! I left when they told me the wait would be 45 minutes, but I went back for it and it was totally worth it!
