They are only a four minute walk away from where I live – very dangerous. The yellow bowl with lemongrass chicken was incredible! $15
They were very generous with the chicken, which I really appreciate. Each piece was blackened so it had more flavor but at the same time was perfectly juicy. I like how there was a little fat on each piece as well, similar to what you see with pork or steak.
The noodles were so soft and the flavor throughout the bowl was very pleasant.
I placed the order online and it was right on time. The staff was friendly when I picked it up.
It’s mostly takeout here, but they have a few stools on a table in front of the window. Staff was friendly.

Easy quick no frill Vietnamese bowls. The meat was tender and juicy. It was really tasty and location is clean. Really good for quick lunch.

Neat and tidy, great ambiance for casual dining. Phenomenal food and great service and reasonable prices. I couldn’t ask for anything more… It may take a bit of searching for a parking spot, but worth the effort.

I’ve been meaning to come here for months and it was so delicious. So fresh as well, I would love to come back as soon as I can. I came with my dad and it was his first banh mi sandwhich and now he’s obsessed too! I can’t wait to try their other meal options. This was delicious, I hope you guys continue to do well because you deserve it! So kind and hardworking, I will definitely be returning.

Wonderful new Vietnamese spot on Hope Street! We stopped in on a Friday afternoon and tried the Shrimp Spring Rolls and the Vermicelli bowl with lemongrass chicken. The food was fantastic, light and super flavorful. The ambiance is awesome with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Pro tip- try the hot sauce next to the water dispenser!

Fantastic! I ordered a banh mi, spring rolls and flan for delivery. Great fresh bread on the banh mi and really enjoyed the pate in it. The spring rolls were some of the best I’ve had with a very flavorful dipping sauce. And the flan was so good. I had been looking for one like that, thats on the bitter side and not so sweet. Will be ordering again!

S-tier, surreal flavor, elite bahn mi.
Vermicelli bowls are also incredibly fresh and delicious.
All proteins here are just so good.
Thang, the owner, holds it down guiding the cuisine in this new local staple.

I was craving banh mi and was referred to Lotus by my daughter. We ordered pork bahn mi, lemon grass chicken rice bowl, Vietnamese iced coffee and eggrolls. Everything was good. My husband loved the coffee. The bahn mi was good. I was looking forward to the traditional pork cold cut bahn mi but they don’t offer that here. Very cute place, great service. We will definitely be back.
