Blossoming Lotus Portland

An ALL VEGAN restaurant that I would definitely recommend. Maybe the picture I’m posting isn’t inspiring, but it was a super delicious bowl of yumminess. I enjoyed every single bite! All those sections of different flavors were PERFECT. I was first tempted to mix it all together, but then I just put different combinations on each fork-full. So each bite was different and each one was very tasty. Very friendly service and an over-all great dining experience.

Blossoming Lotus is a great place to get a vegan meal. They have great food and cocktails. It's great to have vegan options that aren't reliant upon the new meat alternatives. Their walnut sausage is amazing. The Benedict is phenomenal. The breakfast tacos are delicious. Also, the bloody mary is refreshing. They make their own mix, which is obviously a good sign they know what they're doing. Try the beet bloody mary for a good twist on a classic cocktail.

Great fresh foods and unique flavors! Even though the outdoor table we sat at was right up against the street, because it was enclosed and had nice lighting and ambiance, it felt special and fun. Our dog in his stroller fit nicely right alongside our table. We had a really good zero proof drink and wine, good yakisoba, and a mind-blowing flatbread special with peaches, tomatoes, beets, squash, and jalapeño pesto. Our server was super nice and gave us good advice. We were very glad we listened to the server's recommendation on that special. It was inspiring!

In a word --- WOW! I love this restaurant. The best all vegan I've experienced so far. They have plentiful dishes to try. And, although I've just been here twice (so far), I've got 5 dishes plus 2 desserts under my belt so that I can safely say that this place rocks! Okay, so on my first visit a few weeks ago, I tried the Vegan Salad Sandwich (made of chickpeas and other vegan goodies with a delicious sauce) and soup (it was chili that day) and the relative had the BBQ bowl. We sampled each other's plates. The sandwich was super delicious and was served on French baguette, just the right amount of flavor and it was so satisfying. Her BBQ plate was yummy, the soy curl BBQ 'meat' was tender and tasty, same for the black beans and slaw. I am not a fan of their Mac n cheese but my relative liked it. The Mac n cheese was just a smidge bland for my taste (for exp. I like to make mine with a sharp cheddar and jalapeño jack, I like it flavorful) so I wouldn't order the Mac n cheese on my future visits but the noodles were nice! My next trip I had the Yakisoba noodles which have become a favorite they are so delicious and tasty. I do wish they'd add more veggies but that's ok, bc the portion was enough so that I had to take a to-go bag. We also split a Buffalo Ranch Salad which I highly recommend. The flavors coming off of those fresh delicious veggies was so satisfying and their dressing was to so yummy! We also ordered a Thai wrap which was good. Lots of fresh tasty crunchy veggies including a little mint which was a nice tough. For dessert, I had an apple crisp with coconut whip which was so darn good that I came back the next day to have another one of those! I'll be trying their brunch out in the next couple of weeks and am really looking forward to sharing that experience with a visitor from out of town. They are in for a treat!! Really good service here too. Parking is a little tricky it's all on the street but it is free, so there's that. 5 stars all the way!

Absolutely scrumptious 100% vegan food. Outdoor seating is covered and the benches are comfortable. The breakfast tacos need no extra hot sauce, but the sauce is delicious if you’re looking to kick it up a notch.
