Close by, affordable price.
Nice, chill Vietnamese restaurant near Universal Studios. The bone marrow pho was legit! The spring rolls were on fire. Check this place out if you are in the area. Lots of parking in a safe neighborhood. ALOHA!

Lotus and Light is a trendy restaurant that offers great service and delicious, light food that won't leave diners feeling sluggish. The pork banh mi is cooked to perfection, and the chicken fried rice is magnificent. The chicken vermicelli was disappointing, as it was supposed to be beef and lacked an egg roll. The restaurant has a clean, IKEA-like design, making it a cozy neighborhood spot with a calm interior. While it may lack the soul of more authentic Vietnamese eateries, it is not too busy, allowing guests to usually walk in and find a table. On a cold spring night, the pho stands out as a comforting dish. The carefully simmered broth is well-seasoned, just needing a squeeze of lime and some jalapeños. The steak pho could have had thinner slices of meat, while the chicken pho had a bit too much chicken breast. Despite these minor complaints, the bowls are often finished completely, a rare occurrence even at the best pho places. The restaurant has a consistent menu that includes pho, bun, spring rolls, and teas, with a good selection of vegetarian options. Diners appreciate the generous portions of limes and the pleasant, efficient service, even during busy times. Lotus and Light may have its ups and downs, but it is a hidden gem worth visiting for a wholesome, flavorful meal all year round.
