Friendly service. Diverse menu. Reasonable prices. Killer mural on the back wall.
The food came out quickly, piping hot, and bursting with authentic flavor. I ordered the chicken pho, and it was hands down the best pho I’ve had in Seattle so far. I’m originally from Atlanta, which has a large Asian community with many great restaurants, and Lotus Pond absolutely holds its own. The broth was rich and fragrant, the chicken tender, and I loved dressing it up with extra limes and all the delicious sauces they provide. Every accessory, from the fresh herbs to the condiments, was just perfect.
If you enjoy coffee, do yourself a favor and get the Vietnamese coffee here. I asked for it not as sweet and they delivered. So good.
Seattle has a lot of competition when it comes to Vietnamese food, but I picked Lotus Pond based on its stellar 4.5+ star rating, and I’m so glad I did. If you’re torn between spots, pick this one. The restaurant is very clean, the food is incredible, and the service makes the whole experience even better. Huge servings as expected.
10/10 recommend.
Lotus Pond’s location is central with plenty of parking around the restaurant.
The service was friendly and efficient . Orders came out fast.
The food flavor and quality
was definitely less than I’m used to in the Portland area. The goi đu đủ was too sweet and not flavorful. The bò la lot was good and probably the best item ordered. The Phở dac biet broth was not good and too salty. Other items ordered were just mediocre at best.
Prices were very reasonable.
Handicap doable.
Final take—again good service but food was less good.
The soup wasn’t spicy at all, but it had a rich, deep beef flavor. It came with generous portions of meat, including large meatballs and beef ribs. The noodles were round and soft, not chewy.
The grilled meat dish was full of smoky, fire-grilled flavor. The marinated meat was tender and tasty, although the slices were paper-thin. Still, it worked well with the noodles and fresh greens. I do wish they had served a bit more fish sauce on the side. I couldn’t finish everything, so I took the leftovers home — and they were just as good the next day!
Portions are large, the food looks beautiful, and the taste is even better.
The only downside was the service. None of the servers came to check on our table until I asked for the check and a to-go box. We didn’t get any water refills. Since the meat came in large pieces, we needed a knife, but didn’t receive one until my husband went up front and asked for it. Hopefully, they’ll offer more attentive and friendly service on our next visit.
Overall, I highly recommend this place for the food — it’s worth it!
Came here during a Saturday for lunch with wife as we were craving for some Vietnamese food. We were impressed by the reviews we saw on Google so decided to come here.
We ordered some shrimp spring rolls, green mango salads, grilled pork vermicelli and grilled pork sandwiches. The portion was pretty generous so we were quite full even before the main dish.
We were intrigued by how they prepared the grilled pork. The pork was served flattened and seemed to be cooked/grilled in some type of yellow seasoning (perhaps someone more knowledgeable about Vietnamese cuisine could let me know if it is a typical way of cooking pork). We thought it was interesting.
Last thing I’d like to mention is the speed of service: I have been to many restaurants and have to say how fast they serve the dishes was truly something else! Less than 10 minutes after we put our order in, we got everything on our table! Time is money right? Almost too fast as the bill arrived as I was still eating
