Review Lotus Bistro - Newport Beach

Matthew Tsou
Tasty! They use the freshest ingredients. My fav is the Rare Beef Pho! Always delicious! It just might be the best pho in Newport Beach! And reasonable prices! Service is fast and friendly! They do take out as well! The decor is nice and peaceful with lanterns. Almost feels like you’re in SE Asia.

Yum, yum and yum. The chicken fried rice was so refreshingly hot, temperature wise. So fresh. And so tasty. We also ordered two different types of pho. A rare beef and well done brisket with cilantro, and also fillet mignon pho. They were delicious. The broth had a lot of depth to its flavor, the meat was perfectly cooked, and they’re extremely generous with the noodles and meat. Often pho is light on anything other than broth, but not here. Great value. Great taste. Food is fresh. And the servers were very polite and professional. Highly recommend.

They recently changed the location! Still great food and really friendly staff. They’re working on returning to the full menu soon! It’s right by the 99c store, 2180 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa.

Staff was very friendly and my pho was great! My husband got the fried rice with beef and had enough beef for every bite! Prices and good for the area. Will definitely be returning for date night.

If you are craving Pho, Lotus Bistro is the place to go! I always order a large #20 (chicken pho) and it is consistently delicious! Some weeks it tastes a little more bland than others (less salt), but usually it's perfect! Portion, food quality, and service is great. Sometimes it takes a while to get your bill (especially if you're there towards the end of the night), but you can just walk up to the register and get someone's attention. I also highly recommend the Vietnamese Dumplings (in the New section of the menu) and their shrimp rolls. I've had the calamari too. Can't really go wrong with anything. Enjoy!

Amazingly good. The curry is the best. Pho isn't bad either. Totally recommend it for take out during these times. 15 minute ride home, quick heat up and it was if you had just ordered it. Don't hesitate.

Happy to find a place in Newport Beach that has "Pho." It is a perfect meal for a cold cloudy day. The place feels warm and cozy. I ordered take out because the pandemic restriction was still in effect. But the place looks inviting and I will come back for a dine in. The menu looks authentic Vietnamese with reasonable prices. The service was quick and friendly. The Pho was great and hit the spot for a winter day.

Shaken Beef is incredibly good here! ...seriously good. We were in a group of 3 families. The service was great and the food came out surprisingly quick. Felisha (the owner pictured here with my son and I) is so friendly and kind. I will always give praise to establishments run by people like Felisha. I can't say enough about awesome Felisha is. Aside from being so nice to all our kids, she noticed one wasn't eating. After him being impolite about not liking the food, she made him some special BBQ chicken and rice that he loved. At the end of our meal she sent us off with hugs and extra cookies for the kids. I look forward to returning and absolutely recommend Lotus Bistro to everyone. Truly delicious food coupled with incredible service. Eat here... you will love Felisha as much as the food.

Some of the best curry, very clean and nice atmosphere. Ask for the owner unless she shows up from the kitchen by herself. She is the nicest old lady and full of good advices about Vietnamese cuisine. She will even give you all her secrets and recipes. One thing is sure, you will go back for her food!

This place was amazing! We got the appetizer combination, Shaken Beef, and Rare Beef Pho. I would recommend them all. Wonderful staff and quick service!

Service is amazing. The staff is so nice and attentive even when they are busy. We ordered the pork vermicelli and the guy recommended the egg rolls with it. OMG! The best recommendation. The food was the best. I will definitely be returning.

Best pho hands down I've ever had... The owners and workers are all very genuine people willing to help out the community which is what makes a great business... The owners are rooted and or from Vietnam so very genuine and delicious food for sure. Great! Coffee!!! Great tea! Great pho! Great Sandwhiches... What I love is the affordable prices for the quality, fresh, and fast service/ingredients in the food they make... 100/100 would always recommend

Jenni Franco
By far the best Phó place in Newport/Costa Mesa. Friendly staff, and the owners are super sweet!!!! Never a bad experience here. I would recommend the Spring rolls and the chicken phó! If you're vegetarian try the tofu vermicelli!! It's to die for!!!!
Frank Tran

A perfect dining experience! Great company, the food was so fresh and yummy, our waitress was a delight and even the owner Kam, came over to talk with us and make sure everything was perfect. I'm vegan and I can find plenty of great dishes here. I cannot wait to go back!
Bob McFarland
Great find tucked away off of Newport Blvd. The service and quality are excellent and very reasonably priced. While the Pho' is great there are many other good choices and nightly specials. The Clay Pot is great, and my favorite is the Shaken Beef!! Good stuff!!
