    Restaurant area
    Sam S.

    This place has been one of my favorite bánh mì shops for years! I've since moved from Chicago but whenever I visit I HAVE to get a sandwich - they're just that good! Their service is always great and their new location is very spacious (now offering dine in service). My go-to is their lemongrass chicken sandwich, but honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Well, that was pretty disappointing. All alone in the dining room at lunch, and I finally had to go to the kitchen to flag someone down for service. The secret to a great Bahn Mi sandwich is fantastic bread. This wasn't. It was just a typical roll. And there wasn't a lot of filling, although it tasted okay. Certainly not good enough to name a restaurant after. There are dozens better in town. The rest of the menu is an odd mix of Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese foods. We tried the Mongolian chicken and it was decent. With a $20 order you get free egg rolls, and there is a reason they are free. I'm not sure how an egg roll can not be hot. Perhaps they are a frozen product that is baked? The inside was more like ground coleslaw, and just tepid--a bit concerning since they were supposedly "chicken flavor". The Vietnamese iced coffee was good. Although there were some DoorDash deliveries going in and out, there was only one other couple seated during all of Friday lunch, if that tells you anything.

    BBQ Pork Sandwich
    Nisha C.

    I came here for lunch with a friend and we both got the pork bbq banh mi sandwiches and they were delicious! The baguette was fresh and fluffy and the meat was flavored well and there was plenty of filling of carrots, daikon radishes, jalapeño, and cilantro. I love that they cut the sandwich in half for us as well. When you walk in you order at a kiosk, and it was very straightforward and easy and I like that there is water on the side that you can grab before you head to whatever table you would like to sit at. The service was friendly and swift and I would definitely come back to try some of the other menu items and sandwiches. If you are in the area and in the mood for something filling, this hits the spot.

    Saigon Classic Special Sandwich
    Joseph S.

    I got the saigon special classic and I have never seen such a skinny banh mi. When ordering online I noticed that they put ham and was surprised but the ham did not do the sandwich any favors because it made it taste like a regular cold cut sandwich. Additionally, the pate was virtually nonexistent and the bread had a buttery taste. This probably a watered down Americanized version of the idea of a banh mi. I will not be coming back again. I was wondering why it was empty inside during lunch rush time but this sandwich explains why.

    Bahn-mi "lite" ????

    Just to pile on... When the name of the product is the name of your shop the least you could do is be good at making your product. This place is a big swing and a miss. Limp baguette with the most meager of ingredients. Usually the sandwiches are filled with meat and fresh veggies. Luckily we had our own veggies. Flavor was ok... so not a 1 star effort... but damn near. Pho was also OK flavor, heavy on bean sprouts light on veggies with flavor... so again . Prices very typical for the neighborhood, product very typical of someone following ikea instructions on "how to make a bahn-mi" Much better places a few blocks north of here... keep moving!

    Food was good! The place was not crowded at all on Sunday night which I thought was not a good sign but the food taste proved me wrong. Good value too! Only concern was the only restroom ran out of soap and paper towels and even though I told the staff upon the beginning of our visit. At the end when our kids went to use it again, it was still out of soap and towels. I hope they pay more attention to it next time, even more when a customer brings it up.

    Got delivery through DoorDash - the food was delish. Banh mi sandwich was mild with a lovely crunch, fresh bread, great eating experience! They were out of milk tea, so instead of canceling my boba order, they called me to ask if I'd want a different flavor. So glad they did cause boba is my comfort food and often the catalyst for the whole order! I really appreciate the customer service! :D

    Curry Chicken Sandwich
    Prashmi K.

    Curry chicken sandwich- (3.5/5) I really liked the flavor of the chicken, but I wish it was spicier.

    Ordered on Uber eats on a whim and although I finished the sandwich, I wouldn't recommend after this meal. The banh mi barely had any meat filing and the seeds were left in the jalapeño. Bread was barely toasted. The Vietnamese iced coffee was incredibly weak- reminded me alot of coffee flavored boba. You know it's not going to be good when it comes in a boba cup. You can find way better banh mi in argyle so save your money.

    Bahn mi grilled beef sandwich is amazing! It's got lot of veggies and a bite! A little spicy and the bread came out warm and toasty :) Vietnamese iced coffee is also very delicious

Crispy chicken wings with caramelized fish sauce sounded adventurous but tasted familiar. These were definitely good but they're not mind blowing so I would probably skip them to try other things if you're on the fence. Oysters were so delicious but I hardly ever think they're not. Wagyu with lemongrass and a chili sea salt was simple but tasty. The grilled eggplant was yummy, paired with pickled shallots, fried garlic, and scallions. Definitely a good one for eggplant lovers like me. The veggie curry was good but probably the least favored of everything we had and couldn't finish it. But we made room for a little dessert! We went with the whipped rice pudding but had it without peanuts because I'm allergic. We didn't really enjoy it much. It was kind of bland and I'm guessing it might be because we omitted the nuts. It was sad to finish on a weak note.

The spring rolls came as a pair, both long. Everything was packaged well. Both dishes were very fresh with great flavor. The chicken cabbage salad was amazingly good, with the cabbage still having some crisp to it despite being mixed with the chicken and dressing. The flavor was a great combination of citrus and a gingery kick, and some fresh herbs on top made it even better. This place is definitely in our short list for delivery, and we look forward to checking it out in person someday.

I really like the decorations in there. My only issue was the booth area. The table was not leveled for a suitable pho experience. The table sits very low to where you have to hunch over while you eat. The water, napkins etc. are right at the entrance. Where people are passing by, not very sanitary. But aesthetic makes you forget about that. The food was good though so I definitely come back to eat a seafood pho.

    5 stars based on Bahn mi, cha gio and iced coffee I ordered today…read more I must have been part of an early crowd. When I arrived, there was only one other table dining, which made it GREAT for me. It's a decent size hall with 10+ table arrangements, making it pretty great for a group to enjoy their lunch. It also featured a couple of kiosks for ordering, which I thought was a bit easy to miss, since it was tucked away in the left corner when you walked in. It looked like there was also a cashier available to take orders, if you miss the kiosks. I've seen places where they simply do not have anyone at the register to take orders, but that wasn't the case for Lotus. Before deciding to visit them today, I had an impression that their menu choices were very limited compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I was used to. I'm certainly not complaining, since I'm usually a huge fan of select "specialty" approach in restaurants. That's why I decided to order one of their Bahn mi, where I normally would have chosen pho for my first visit. And it didn't disappoint. First off, the size of the sandwich was good. I've had it where they charged a buck or two less, but they weren't big enough to be a full "lunch" portion. Lotus' size, I thought was decent. I had ordered one of their cha gios just in case the sandwich failed to fill me, but I think I would have been okay without it. Cha gio was super good tho! Oh, and the iced V-coffee was good, too. Typically, they'll bring out the coffee before your meal is ready, probably because they're ready-made in the morning and all you'd need to do is pour them over ice. I of course, have known legitimate mom n' pop places, where they'll actually bring out coffee as it's brewing in Phin (stainless steel coffee filter) and a glass of ice with condensed milk, so you can wait for the coffee to finish brewing and pour yourself one, which is what I *always* prefer. Not here, but no big deal. You can usually tell how good the food is going to be by trying their iced coffee. Even though V-coffee isn't known for using "incredible" beans, the balance of the strength of coffee and condensed milk *does* make a big difference in your experience. I felt this place had it correct! I'll definitely come back myself and even bring coworkers or my family to have their Bahn mi again. What I'm not sure about is whether I want to try their pho or bun. First, they don't offer too many variations, so I'm stuck choosing from just a few. (For example, I usually go for "brisket-only" or a combo of brisket and rare steak, but they didn't seem to have those options. Granted, it's possible they'll make it happen if I asked) Secondly, I think they're a couple bucks more expensive than what I would like to pay for a bowl of pho. We'll see.

The waitstaff is quick... almost to the point of impatient! But never problematic. Be aware that dishes fly out of the kitchen as they are ready. One bowl might come out way before the others. An appetizer might come out last. It just whatever is ready (it appears). Also, their takeout game is strong, judging by the amount of trays ready to go and people coming in to carry-out. It's a little far for me to do takeout, but still nice to see.
