Dont miss a visit here. Lovely food with ample very fresh veggies and condiments. We enjoyed giant prawns with kung pao sauce, beef pho and teriyaki chicken (low sodium option is flavorful with a delicate sauce). All wonderful and plenty left to take home. We lunched at the patio cafe tables under umbrellas. Proprietor was fun and engaging too.

The food here is amazing!! Always fresh and made to order, and the quality is fantastic! Phil is so joyful and is always so welcoming and accommodating, truly service with a smile! The Bhan Mi sandwich is to die for, and the crispy duck wonton noodle soup is so tasty and decadent; everything I've had (making my way through the menu!) is delicious! Highly recommend!

Lotus instantly become my favorite place Mid-Peninsula. The PHO is the best I've ever had, and the ingredients are the freshest. The owner/chef is energetic and friendly.

The proprietor is amazingly thoughtful and nice and knows your name. The food is well prepared. He works his bum off, and he takes care of his employees when they are sick.

Went in one evening for dinner. My fiancé ordered the Pho. She gave it 5 stars. I ordered the mixed BBQ plate and it was exactly as I remembered. 5 stars. The inside is updated, nice sit down. Very enjoyable. They also have another part of the menu that we didn’t get a chance to try! Plus the Banh Mi! Give this place a try!
One of the worst business owners ever. This is a new owner or they pretend to do a Re-opening for marketing purpose.This is a Chinese food, Vietnamese, Hawaiian food place that need an identity.Since they are new(Re-open), so we thought to stop by to try them out. We walked in and didn't see any staff member. After 10 minutes, some guy who were sitting and chatting walk back behind the counter from a customer's table. I think he was chatting up with some of other clients. I saw him when I walked in and he was sitting with them, so didn't think he works there. He, the owner, said wait some more because some were here early and looking through the menu. Ok. No problem. Our turn comes, we place our order and I ask how long it will take. This is when it turn bad for my young daughter and I.He turned to me and said 'depends on the kitchen, it will take as long as it take.' I ask again to see if I can get an estimate. He turn angry and said 'you have the look on your face, you don't look happy.' I explain that we are in a rush and just want to know what to expect. He turned even worst and say 'if you can't wait then get the heck out, I don't want to serve you. I don't like your look.'Never experience this before. He doesn't like my facial expressions, so he berated me in front of my daughter.

The perfect comfort food spot. Exactly what I want to eat, always fresh, and well-prepared with care and attention. Delicious pho, classic dishes, and you can customize your own meal if you want! Phil is a fantastic host, making sure everyone is happy with their food and has everything they need to enjoy their meal. My other half thinks the banh mi are the best in town. We're always happy to go to Lotus - it's become one of our go-to places for dinner.
Came in at 1pm on a Saturday and it was pretty empty - food came out quickly. I got the vegetarian pho and it was tasty and well made. Good price point too.

Our new go to place for vegan food! Attentive service. Large portions. Our kids loved the vegetarian pho and wonton soup. We got the veggie stir fry with tofu, which came with a wide variety of vegetables (broccoli, bok choi, mushrooms, carrots, zucchini). All vegetables looked and tasted extremely fresh. Also got the gulf shrimp - not many others restaurants carry it these days, but gulf shrimp is worth the price and soooo much better than farm raised shrimp.

I’ve been going to this place for a few years now and know the owner Phil, as 70% of his customer base does. I have to give it up to him. He has struggled as many other restaurants do, but has risen abov, and now with the new look of fire and flare that fits his awesome personality and GREAT FOOD, I hope everyone enjoys the new place, great food, and most of all, Phil, as much as my family and I do, and that we spread the word to help make his dream come true!
