    Chicken pho
    Meggie T.

    New favorite pho spot! Loved the relaxed environment and friendly service. Meal was hot and fresh. Owner came and checked on us and was so personable. Will visit again

    Throwing away

    The crepes where greasy and thick nasty Paid $80 for food I will not eat . Disappointed

    Minelie A.

    The service was but the only thing that make our experience 4/5 instead of 5/5 was the flies! Even we changed our table to middle row to get rid of the flies but It didn't help! I've never seen this much if flies in a food place so I was surprised! Our shrimp rolls was delicious! The banh mi was well prepared and the bread was so fresh, so no concerns that part! It came lil bit late on the table and it seems they are understaffed! Our host was very friendly and welcoming so ill keep my concern on flies and the dirty flower vase on table only! There menu was well explained with great selection of food and reasonable price. There is also a free parking lot outside!

    3. Two Pieces Lotus Grilled Pork Spring Rolls
    Czarina D.

    YUMMMMY! We ordered a meal for pick-up and it truly hit the spot. After a weekend of heavy foods, we wanted a meal that was both comforting but a bit lighter than the food we had been having. My husband and I ended up ordering: Shrimp Spring Rolls, Pork Spring Rolls, and Filet Mignon Beef Noodle with extra noodle and meat. The pho was the perfect amount of food for the two of us. But we both ate one spring roll and we were STUFFED. Definitely too much food but we were so happy to have leftovers. The spring rolls were DELICIOUS. Rolled tightly with a good ratio of all the filling. The peanut sauce was tasty, though a tad on the thick side. The sauce tasted extra delicious with a little bit of sriracha and/or sambal oelek. The spring rolls for me were definitely the star of the show. The pho was pretty delicious! Loved the flavors in the broth and the meat was tender and soft. Was it the most delicious pho I've ever had? No. But it was definitely a fantastic one and perhaps one of my top phos! If I was craving spring rolls or pho, I'd definitely come back here again!

    Noodles with Pork, Shrimp, Spring rolls

    My husband and I were craving Vietnamese food and Lotus Bistro hit the spot! Enjoyed the Vietnamese coffee, noodles with shrimp/pork/spring roll and a Bahn Mi. Great service and the food was fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend!

    27. Shaken Beef
    Yonnie C.

    Husband ordered from here for Uber Eats delivery. 1) filet mignon pho - decent 2) egg rolls (4) - it was ok 3) shaken beef with rice - succelent beef 4) grilled pork banh mi sandwich - decent, a bit too much mayonnaise Place is more of a 3.5 stars out of 5 stars.

The pho has a more anise leaning flavor that may be a little more unusual to the average diner, but I fell in love with it. The pho broth is clean and the portion sizes are good, especially given the area and the price. Outside of pho, the appetizer platter is amazing. All the dishes in the appetizer platter are cooked to perfection and all the vegetables are fresh and the fish sauce is so rich. It's some of the best fish sauce I've come across recently, really umami while still somehow being clean. To top it all off - the vietnamese iced coffee. I love Vietnamese iced coffee and I always order it at a Vietnamese restaurant. I've had a lot throughout my life and this is, in my opinion, the BEST Vietnamese iced coffee I have ever had. It's so good, it literally tastes like you're drinking a more coffee forward ice cream in the best way possible. It's not too sweet and leans creamy - absolute perfection. The place itself is a little small, but service is always really fast. I've only been a couple times where the place was slammed busy. If you come at off times you won't have to wait, but at peak hours you might have to wait 15-30 minutes for a table. The only real downside of this spot is the actual location. It's located on a weird strip center right after the the 55 freeway exit, and the entry points to the strip center are weird. Just be prepared not to miss the turns into the center, because it can take a while to circle back to the entries. Overall, highly recommend this place. Grab a bowl of pho and don't skip on the vietnamese iced coffee.

The garlic noodles were super flavorful, perfectly cooked, and had that rich garlicky kick without being overpowering.

Portions were generous, and you could really taste the quality of garlic in each bite. Definitely one of those meals where you're already thinking about your next visit as you're finishing up.

At 10pm, there were a handful of folks inside, waiting for their to-go orders. Since they close at midnight on a Wed, we decided to eat in.

The lady at the counter was nice, taking our order with a smile, then repeating it for accuracy. The garlic chicken breast sandwich did not disappoint. It's just as I remembered it... tasty, moist, & even more delicious w/ the green sauce. The garlic noods w/ bulgogi was a new try for us; we usually get it w/ shrimp. It was yummy, but afterwards I felt like the meat was too salty. The peach & lychee green tea is my fave, while the hubbs enjoyed his Thai tea. Soo good!

It's a small, intimate setup with only about seven tables, so it almost feels like you've discovered a hidden restaurant inside another one. There's also a small service bar inside, which adds to the vibe. My wife ordered the Jade Pendant cocktail and loved it -- really refreshing and well balanced. The menu is new and you can tell they're trying some fresh ideas with bold flavors and really good sauces. We ordered the Imperial rolls, the shaky, shaky beef, and the lemongrass chicken. The shaky shaky beef was a highlight. It came highly recommended by the waiter as their number one dish, and it didn't disappoint. The beef was tender, sauced well, and very delicious. The side rice with the Beef was also excellent -- it had a slight tomato tang to it, but not an overpowering at all. Everything tasted very fresh and well made. Overall, this spot is worthy of the trip to Pacific City. After dinner you can walk around, enjoy the ocean views, or stroll over to Downtown Huntington Beach. Between the food, the fresh flavors, and the cool hidden-restaurant feel, it makes for a fun night out.
