I come here at least twice a month, it's my favorite Vietnamese place in the Bellevue/ Issaquah area. Their vermicelli bowls are

Best Vietnamese on the Eastside, by far. Pho is amazing, I definitely reccomend the Pho Bo Koh, beef stew with rice noodles. The staff here treat you like family, the kind of family you get along with! I eat a ton of vietnamese and this place continues to be my favorite. I know a ton of ppl who travel far and wide just to eat here. read more

Great joint for good quality thai + vietnamese food. Great vegetarian options as well.

I'm visiting Seattle and stopped here for lunch. I left happy! I ordered chicken skewers and pho. I think after. First thing I liked was a surprisingly big portion of the skewer! Maybe that's how it is in Seattle, but where I live everything is small. The pho was good. Would like to try more of their food! read more

First, It was challenging to find a parking then no waiting area for customer if they were crowned or not. Second, those servers are a punch of snobbery think we are begging for food even we pay for your salary here. Third, food is not great at all as much as reviews say so, couldn't take anymore I have to give 1 star even they do not earn it. read more

The place was busy which is a good thing. The wait time was about 10 minutes in a Sunday 1 pm. Service was good. The pho soup was sweeter with more cinnamon anise ? For my taste but it was tasty. The ingredients were excellent with quality and I said "Quality " of meatballs brisket rare meat and tendon and tripe. I'm almost in heaven! Soup was not hot. read more

Been here a few times and the food has always been great. The lotus salad has just a bit of kick to it. The square lotus curry is always good. They offer most of their food with meat or vegetarian options. Prices are decent for the amount of food you get. read more

Solid spot for Vietnamese in Factoria. Large menu and competitive prices. Excellent service.

Food was really good! The tofu is literally cooked to perfection here. Safe to say it's vegetarian heaven here!

By far, hands down the best food ever!!! Best vegetarian meals, best curry, best pho, best spring/summer rolls... you name it. The service is wonderful as well as the atmosphere. I hardly ever get a chance to eat here, but when i do i am always blown away at how delicious everything is. Family owned and operated which is nice too. If you are looking for a great vegetarian spot this is the place to come. They also have a non vegetarian menu which i hear is incredible too, if you do eat meat. STOP IN, YOU WONT REGRET IT. It does get busy though, so keep that in mind as far as your wait time... they are popular and can't always help you instantaneously. read more

The Vietnamese Crepes are the best! We love the crispy noodle dishes, and I often crave their beef salad. It's definitely a great little spot to dine after shopping. read more

Some of the best pho I've ever had. And it's pretty cheap too. This was my go to place when I was working in Bellevue. However, their servings for entrees are kind of small in my opinion. read more

Great place to have lunch. It does a get a little busy at lunch time so get there early or plan on waiting. Great prices for good lunch with vegetarian options. read more

Hands down the best veggie pho in town! I work nearby and eat here often, but we have driven here from Everett on the weekends to eat lunch too. Great menu with a large variety for veggies and meat eaters too!! read more

Everything here has been delicious: pho, stir-fried noodle dishes, fresh rolls! Plentiful crisp veggies, tender meat, spice level just as requested. Can't wait to try other things on their menu. :) Service can be a little slow when they're busy... as in you sit down and no one approaches you for ten minutes. Ah well! They're always nice, at least. Very reasonable prices. read more

Bad service, it was not busy , but nobody came for over 15 mins. The waiters are rude when we come to eat. Not worth it to tip them!!!

Not here to compare apples and oranges but this place has an awesome vegetarian menu. However, it's pho is clearly different from any pho you have ever had. For you pho goers, you will know exactly what I'm talking about. But it's pho menu only has 6 items on it where it focuses on the rice dishes more, which are good, but I'm sorry, it's not designed for someone who knows authentic taste read more

Square Lotus is better than I Love Pho. It is more authentic and better quality for the price you get it at. I like to get pho and Vietnamese crepes here. read more

We really like the food here. Service is good. I had a delicious, Sweet and sour type of broth soup, which I will go back for it. It's busy at lunchtime. read more

Really good place!! First time eating here and was not disappointed at all! Loved the Veggie Chicken Sweet and Sour and the Springs Rolls. And the ambiance was very nice. read more

Five stars because the vegetarian menu is huge and everything I've ordered off of it has been delicious. I love the special veg pho and hot noodle plates. I can come here with non-vegetarians and they can get what they want and they are happy with that too. For the price you get a pretty good portion size. Service is friendly and fairly quick. Ambience is kind of dark, but nice. I heard it can get crowded during lunch time but I usually go in the afternoons on the weekends so it hasn't been an issue. read more

I like this place. Been here a few time and the food is good. The dishes taste good/fresh and feel healthy. They can get busy fast so service will vary. read more

I LOVE this place. Probably too much for my own good since they recognize me when I walk in and they bring over the tea and sweetener without me even asking. What can I say...I'm a creature of habit, and that tea is excellent. Favorites include the spring rolls, the vermicelli bowls, and the Square Lotus Curry (has eggplant...yum). Even better, right now they have a reward card where you can get the 10th entree free. Works great for a regular like me. read more

Amazing! Best green curry I've ever had. Everything is really fresh and delicious. I've never had a dish I didn't like. There is also never usually a wait. Takeout portions are just as large if not bigger than dine in size. read more

They've now replaced my regular pho place. The fresh lime sodas are tasty, too. The service is friendly and fast. Place seemed to be filled with regulars. Love it! read more

We loved Square Lotus ... the decor was simple and tasteful. The service was very attentive ... most of all we enjoyed the flexibility of ordering from their vegetarian menu. Started with Summer rolls (amazing), Green papaya salad (excellent), Tofu Sour Soup (tangy and yumm), Eggplant hot pot ( chef even added some cashews per our request), and Red Curry (very flavorful). Definitely a find, and the prices are reasonable. Our young hostess was very charming and remembered our uncle & aunt's favorites (as they are regulars) here. Best Vietnamese food in a very long time!! read more

This is my go to spot for Vietnamese food on the Eastside. I have tried the pho' at a majority of the restaurants around and I keep coming back to this place. A few times it has been sub-par but that's bound to happen when you eat here as much as I do. I've sampled rice dishes of friends and have been similarly impressed with quality of food preparation. Lunch time can be busy so calling ahead might save you some time. Check it out! read more

Square Lotus is run by a mom and her grown children. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! I am a vegan and my husband is definitely not. SQuare Lotus has two menus and two kitchens, vegan and non-vegan. My personal favorite is the veggie chicken pho soup. The veggie broth is delicate, with hints of star anise. Lots of noodles and veggies, including bokchoy, carrots, broccoli, and bean sprouts...an abundance of fresh basil, peppers, and lime along side. my husband is a fan of their phad thai and mongolian beef (with meat). I stop by here several times a week for tako out soup after work, but the restaurant has a lovely ambiance and beautiful food presentations for dining in. very busy for lunch, but the service is quick. read more

We had to wait about 25 min to receive our appetizers, the restaurant was busy but not nearly full. The creeps were very good, some of the best we've had around the Seattle area. We were almost finished wih the crepe when we noticed something on the veggie plate. A large green insect on its back wih it's legs squirming. Had the vegetables been washed I'd imagine this could have been avoided. The staff was somewhat unapologetic and didn't sem to care too much. We will never return. If their is bug's crawling on their bean sprouts and lettuce I can't imagine what else is crawling around their kitchen and other foods. read more

We ordered off of the vegetarian menu which is actually vegan... had sweet and sour 'chicken', cashew 'chicken', special vegetarian fried rice, and started with the mango salad... All of it was excellent!! We will certainly be back. read more

This place is amazing. I come here regularly for pho, but their other dishes are superb as well. Prices aren't too high considering the cost. As a meat person, I found it odd that they have a pretty extensive vegetarian menu. So, I guess if you're vegetarian, you will have many options. If I had to fault them for something, I would say they might need more servers when the place is full, but hey they are busy because this place is great. Excellent service, great food, good prices. read more

I love the food here, so many options and its always fresh! The staff is always very nice and friendly. I love that they have GF options too. I read some other reviews about the service but I have never had any problems. Its a bit far from home but well worth the travel. read more

Wonderful green curry and my friend had the yellow curry that was equally as good. Food Wonderful but service not so good. In all fairness we were there at 12:00 noon on a Friday and they were slammed! But, they are a restaurant and that is what they are supposed to do.....provide service at meals. Will go back again because the food was sooooo good but definitely before 12:00 noon or after 1:00 p.m. read more

Nice lunch menu. Lots of vegetarian options and reasonable prices. Service was good as well. Get there early if your going for lunch.

It's okay, nothing special. Bland food with bland service. This place is honestly overrated. If your looking to buy a quick Vietnamese meal under 10 bucks, this place is great. If your looking for something special go somewhere else. read more

Delicious food and courteous staff. Why four stars? because I ordered the lunch special and the quantity is not enough. I came home and had to eat bread with butter as I was still hungry. The soup that they give you before the dish is small and not that hot. If you are going to order the lunch special make sure to order an appetizer. I will go back! read more

Great place for lunch. Service is good, they really pack customers in though and it can be difficult to carry on a conversation.

Fantastic Mother's Day meal for 5 for ~$60 + tip. Was able to get reservations two days in advance and had a much better overall experience than some of the buffets that are over $25 per person. For the most part I recommend vegetarian dishes over the meat menu and the Mango Salad and vegetarian vermicelli bowls were excellent. For my parents in their 80s we got the seafood mix and chicken sets, both had excellent vegetables and the prawns, scallops and squid were excellent, but not in huge portions which is completely fine at this price point. We added a Phoa which was shared along with everything else. Overall an excellent experience, we must try the Mango rice next time. Also we love the light and the ambience. They really take advantage of being at the end of the strip mall with all the north facing windows. read more

Perfectly done pha!!!! All of the dishes we had (12 total) were fabulous good job square lotus....see you again soon!!!!

Excellent place and we go there so often. We are vegetarian and they have excellent selection. My favorite is Pho, it's packed excellently and is very very fresh. I have taken few of my friends there and everyone just like this place. Keep it up!! read more
