I’ve been sleeping on what is clearly the best Vietnamese food available in memphis. Please try this place. It is to go only and takes roughly 40 min for an order but well worth the wait, be prepared and order early. Cash is best for this location but they do accept visa and Mastercard but do occasionally have card issues.

The information about this restaurant said they opened at 5:00 pm. We had driven all day from Ohio and were ready to eat dinner. When we arrived at 5:10, the door was locked, but the owner came to meet us. He said the dining room was closed, but he gave us a menu and said he’d bring the food to our car. About ten minutes later, he came to the car to collect our money (said he preferred cash) we paid. It seemed high for what we ordered, but the reviews were good. This is a long story, but we literally waited TWO HOURS for our food. We made several trips starting at 6:00 o’clock, to the back door kitchen, and told the owner and his wife that we needed our food or our money back. They kept saying it would be right out. Other cars also were waiting for their food. Finally he brought our mediocre dinner at 7:00 pm.

The best Vietnamese you will get by far!!!! So many items on the menu are fabulous! Been coming here for years and it is worth the wait! I can not wait until they have a dining room again, we love this place!!! Great take-out is available now!

I can’t rave enough about this place. It’s the hidden gem of Summer Ave. The food takes a while to prepare because it’s prepared fresh with each order. It’s worth the wait. I love the lemongrass chicken! This is a family run restaurant that’s been around for years. We are always greeted warmly when we pick up our food and are asked “are you happy and healthy?” It makes me and my husband’s day.

This is a great hidden gem on Summer. It is takeout only right now as a heads up. Highly recommend the fried rice and egg rolls. Also, if you want a HOT sauce, they’ve got it here. Hottest sauce I’ve ever tasted.

This is the best Vietnamese Restaurant. My husband and I always get the Summer rolls and the Lemongrass Chicken! I definitely recommend. We have tried many other Vietnamese restaurants but it is NOT the same as Lotus’. They are doing take out only and take a while to make but just call ahead & it will be worth it!

If I could give a 4.5 star I would. It’s close to perfection this pho. The only disappointment is how little of that absolutely delicious broth came with the take out beef pho.
I most definitely recommend Lotus if at least to taste the broth once while you can.
The owner was quite amenable and you can tell this is the type of restaurant. He told me the same story: The broth has been slow cooked for 100 hours. No wonder what turns out is so minimal but so delicious; it’s a like a small batch pho broth.
If you haven’t tried it already, I recommend calling and getting yourself some genuinely good food.

I’ve finally made it back during their business hours. I love the Vietnamese vermicelli and summer rolls. I am going to try some of the other dishes people have suggested but for now I’m stuck.
I love the gentleman that takes the orders and cooks. He’s so sweet and has great suggestions if needed.

My wife and I just finished their Lunar New Year special dinner entree. We ordered a number of appetizers, the soup and the sweet & sour fish.
Every dish we have ever had at Lotus has been amazing, so we were expecting an incredible experience. With that said, this was mind blowingly fantastic. Easily the best catfish I’ve ever eaten. It was like all the yumminess we have come to expect from Lotus and then something more.
I cannot rave enough about how heart-full their cooking is. It’s a family run business that truly cares about its community and we thoroughly thank them for helping us feel like family with their generous Lunar New Year celebratory meal!
Happy Lunar New Year Lotus!
