Fried special chow mein
Jason U.

Great lunch today .. easy parking .. great staff .. great food served fast !! Friendly staff big menu selection and drinks smoothies

Shrimp Rolls
Lori T.

They have the best fried calamari in town! Their spring rolls are good, especially with tofu. The service is fast and parking is always available. They accept cash or card. A solid choice for lunch or dinner!

It's been probably a year since we have eaten here. The calamari is just as crispy and good as ever. The egg rolls were also crispy but a little on the greasy side. Also ordered the rice combo with beef, shrimp, fish cake, that was very fulfilling, beef cooked perfectly, the shrimp has a balance flavor. Service was excellent

Rare Steak NS

I'm downgrading my review a bit, mostly due to service. I visited last night and ordered a small pho, there were many pieces of fat and gristle in my soup that couldn't even be chewed. I had to constantly spit it out. I also ordered a side of two of the Vietnamese eggrolls, and it usually comes out with a piece of lettuce, carrot and cucumber. A different waiter brought these to my table and literally just threw them on the table and walked away in a extremely rude manner. He had very long hair. They brought the eggrolls out with no lettuce and it took me forever to get anyone's attention to just get a piece of lettuce to eat with the eggroll. I always seem to get the same waiter, and he is not helpful at all. I like to order the pho and a side of something new to try. When I ask about anything in the menu he just says "depends on your taste". Yeah, but can you at least attempt to describe the things you serve? Make a recommendation? I was also there earlier this week and I told the waiter that I would like to order a Boba tea after my soup. When he came back over and I tried to order the tea, he said oh sorry the kitchen is closed. So they knew they were closing the kitchen, but he also knew that I intended to order a tea and did not come over and say anything at all. After the weird fat chunks and unhelpful service, I'm going to try other pho places in the area.

Had the best dinner at Blue Lotus! We enjoyed a bowl of beef pho, vegetable rolls and a Bahn mi sandwich. Large portions can definitely share! The Thai tea was so delicious and I love that they topped it with whip cream. The service was super quick and efficient and they played great music throughout the restaurant I am excited to return back to the blue Lotus to try more things on their menu, overall amazing experience!

Rare Steak Noodle Soup
uatesone t.

the aunties that work here are amazing with the service. the food is typical when it comes to the pho. My go to is the rare steak pho. Classic home vibes.

Outside of the restaurant!

Heard this is a great PHO place in Carson! Ordered House Special Pho to-go!!! Reasonable price for the amount of food! And the food was nicely packed for to-go. Delicious!!!!!

Toppings
Kmarie H.

Flavor Budz Check-in! If you know, you know. This place is always packed, so be ready to wait for a table. The staff is cool, but they don't really chat much. The food comes out quick and it's always fresh and tasty. The portions are good too. With winter here, I'm gonna be eating here more often. I highly recommend coming here for dinner. The food always feels like a warm hug from home.

Went here for dinner near closing time. Greeted and seated. Order Pho Soup and a spring roll. Received our food within 10 minutes. Both entrees was delicous. Broth was warm and had good flavor. I recommend because this the best VIETNAMESE in the city of Carson. Workers were nice, food was good, place is Clean and there is plenty of parking Prices are descent.

Pork Chops with Red Rice
Betty F.

What a hidden gem! This building used to be a Del Taco and was so sad to see it go. But I finally took a chance and came in to try it. Boy I was pleasantly impressed with the quality, freshness, amount of food served and the price. It was amazing. I had pork chops with vermicelli noodles on Friday. I loved it so much I went back the next day for pork chops but this time with red rice. The service crew were sweet, attentive and very helpful for my first time coming in. Don't let the location fool you, this is legit a diamond in hiding. Will definitely be back.

Salted Shrimp

This is the second time i order to go the salted shrimp fried in old oil again! I thought it was one time , the manager said he will let there kitchen knows not to use old oil! soaked in oil! Terrible!

Small house special pho with a side of meatballs and sliced onions! Mmm!
Esther JC S.

My friend said he came here long time ago with his son and an old neighbor who introduced him to this place. After a night of karaoke and vodka, soda, pineapple drinks... (almost hangover) Pho sounded so good! I met up with my friend and he brought me here. I was pleasantly impressed. Good parking, clean inside, good service, nice music, yummy food! I ordered the small house special pho with a side of beef balls and sliced onions (gotta have that "kimchi" like crunch with my noodles! lol!) which I drizzle with Hoisin Sauce and Sriracha. Soooo good! It hit the spot! We also got the Thai tea (no boba this time because... noodles are plenty carbs). Anyway, I'll definitely be back! Thanks guys!

What happened why are they closed for days now?

It appears they're closed for deep cleaning and to get the restaurant back up to acceptable health standards. This has happened once before. If they cannot maintain an A health rating, Evie, the manager/owner will shut it down to get it right.… Read more

Are the vegetarian dishes also vegan?

No. Fish sauce is still used as seasoning in the vegetarian dishes.

Do they deliver?

No.

How are the spring rolls like? Are they freshly made?

Thanks for the inquiry. Our spring rolls are made to order. We only make them when you order.

Absolutely love this place. I tried the wagyu experience that includes all meats on the menu and…read moreaccess to the drink garden and farmers market, plus ice cream for dessert. Our adviser, Alex, was so helpful and brought out their special sauces that defining elevated our experience. He explained each beef profile and the broths in detail and walked us through the best way to eat. I was skeptical at first how much different the wagyu versus non-wagyu meats are so we tried the wagyu round versus the eye of round to compare an we can immediately taste the difference. The wagyu melts in your mouth, there's a stronger umami flavor, and overall sticks to your tastebuds much stronger than the non-wagyu beef. Both delicious but I did find the wagyu beef a lot more memorable and much easier to chew. The service here was fantastic and shoutout Alex again for pointing out the happy hour specials. We enjoyed $2 house sake which is unheard of! I love the ambiance in here because you can come as you are but still feels elevated and comfortable. Highly recommend to come with a friend or group and enjoy the experience together.

Tomatoes in the sukiyaki broth... GAME CHANGER…read more Service was good, we had a reservation at 8:00 and they did make an attempt to squeeze us in earlier. Even though they couldn't accommodate we appreciated the attempt. Everything down to the food and drinks is great. Highlights: - tomatoes n sukiyaki - milk tea and coffee jelly - black cherry ice cream I deducted a star because we were a party of 4 on one burner. We saw an empty table next to us with 2 burners so we kindly asked if we could move. She said no because the two burner tables were for parties of 5 plus. Totally understandable! An hour passes and we see a party of 3 at a 2 burner table AND that empty table still empty. Food is great; make sure you make a reservation!

I love coming here, as the food is consistently great. The brisket is really tasty and they give you a good portion of it. Soup is always hot, not lukewarm which I appreciate. I genuinely think their sullungtang is the best I've had! I was really happy that this time, they had purple rice. The past few times, they only had white rice, so this was such a great change! Not sure why they were out of the purple rice for so long, but glad that it's back! Banchans are great with unlimited refills! Service: the couple that runs this restaurant are welcoming with good customer service. Parking: This place is located in a plaza, so there are a lot of parking spots available right out front which makes it convenient. Overall, if you like Korean food and sullungtang, I would definitely recommend you come here!

We always get the Galbitang and it always hits the spot!! Their banchan compliments really nicely and they also provide complimentary barley tea with your meal. I don't need to add any salt or pepper to the Galbitang since it's already so flavorful and naturally sweet. Comes with the choice of purple or white rice. Have yet to try oth or dishes!
