I went to this restaurant with my family and a friend and had the BEST experience. It truly feels like family here. The food was delicious! Yoom and the staff had exceptional customer service. My 1.5 year old had the best time playing peek a boo with the staff. It truly was an amazing experience. I will be recommending this place to everyone. Thank you so much for creating not only a great experience for me, but also my son. Amazing ☺️
What a vibe. Off the main strip downtown. Service was legit. Lady that served me was amazing. Great energy. Would for sure go back. Lotus wings for the win!!!
Everything was excellent, there so friendly and caring !! The way they treated my kids i felt like i was back home in Puerto Rico❤ and the beef fried rice was to die for! Definitely coming back!!
During a quick trip to Minneapolis my sister had told me about lotus and how she loved the Bun Bo Hue she had during her last visit. We decided to get take out more of the menu. Food was delicious! Im a sucker for a good bah mi sandwich
Fantastic Lunch - we were in from out of town and needed a quick place for a bite. We found Lotus Vietnamese just a block from our hotel - food was super tasty & service was great! They have a lunch special (Mon-Fri) for $12.50 that includes an entree, app & rice - it was amazing. I had yellow beef curry with a pork spring roll & chicken fried rice - absolutely wonderful!
Absolutely hands down one of the best Vietnamese pho spots I've ever had! The staff is super friendly and accommodating The food is incredible! The pho broth is perfect, and the egg rolls are amazing! Highly recommended if you are in the area
Came in here on a gloomy sad day. Met this yoom guy working here and he was like a ray of sunshine, a rainbow in the sky. Ordering the pho, bun bo hue, and fried egg rolls was legit. Make a great decision and go eat here.
Incredible food and service! Their entire family was extremely kind and made us feel welcomed. The sesame chicken was fresh and saucy, you’re even able to pick what level of spicy you want (1-5). We started off with the crab wantons, highlyyyyy recommend!! The Vietnamese iced coffee was the best i’ve ever had! Very rich, not too sweet, not too bitter. We also got the House Pho, which was perfectly flavored with a perfect amount of meat and noodles. We got all of that for roughly $40 with plentyyy of leftovers! Please don’t hesitate to go here ‼️
Lotus will probably be my new go-to spot. We came here because we had a craving for Vietnamese. I ordered the beef pho and the pork Bánh mì. Everything arrived very quickly and was absolutely delicious. This place hands down has the best pho and one of the best Bánh mì. I will say that, even though the food was delicious, the service was very lacking. The staff didn’t seem to care, and when I was checking out, the lady was sitting in front of her phone. Eventually, another person arrived to check me out. So the service was mediocre, but the food was phenomenal. I would definitely return.
We stopped here after a long run in Minneapolis and weren't disappointed! We had heard of it before, but never got around to making a trip in, now after having it we'll probably be adding them as a go-to. We ordered the Lotus Bahn Mi, the Beef Lo Mein, and the Eggrolls. The Lo Mein was delicious, the egg rolls were some of the best we've had in the Twin Cities, and the Bahn Me had such a refreshing taste paired with an amazing bread. I'd recommend all 3 dishes. The place is a little small, but very cute and cozy. Staff was extremely nice, and attentive. They were happy to talk about the options as well. We'll definitely be back, next time I'm going to try their Pho!
