About LOTUS BISTRO

They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
We have the beef banh mi sandwich, and the Vietnamese beef stew w/baguette......delicious broth, great sandwich. Flavorful. The app combo was just the right amount of all three rolls. The Thai iced tea and Vietnamese coffee were nice!!
New location! This one has the same vibes as the previous location but with a taller ceiling so it’s much brighter inside. I got their chicken salad (goi ga) and the wonton soup. The chicken salad was super fresh with crunchy cabbage, carrots, and mint. The addition of fried shallots and peanuts added a fun texture too. The fish sauce mixed with their fried chili oil was a killer flavor combo. The wonton soup definitely hit the spot on such a cold day like today. The wontons themselves had flavor and the broth really warmed up the body. Definitely coming back!
Absolutely love this family owned restaurant ♡ shoutout to Diane! Every dish so far has been delicious and the portions are incredible, can't say enough good things about Lotus Bistro (:
I am so glad to see you guys in a new location! I was worried you had closed. I will visit this week!! Best Vietnamese food outside of Fountain Valley. Excellent food! And very nice people—a family place.
I visited lotus bistro based on glowing Google reviews, but unfortunately, my experience didn't match the hype. While our server was friendly and attentive, the food quality and cleanliness fell short. The food, sadly, was a letdown (2/10). Dishes lacked flavor and presentation. However, the bigger concern was the restaurant's cleanliness. The dining area and kitchen appeared dirty, and witnessing staff sneezing and coughing while handling food was alarming. I understand that every business has off days, and I genuinely hope this review encourages lotus bistro to prioritize cleanliness
