Well deserved in my opinion! Some of the best pho I've ever had, which is saying something since I'm from Los Angeles and Seattle where quality pho is on every corner. The portions aren't huge, but I still couldn't finish my whole bowl so I'm not complaining. Absolutely the best spring rolls I've ever had. Everything tastes super fresh and clean on the palate. I had a premium beef bowl with spring rolls and a Viet iced coffee for HK$218. Service was quick, polite and to the point. Cash only!

The chicken was tender and not over cooked, but still tasted grilled and had a light lemon flavour. The portion is massive. I had trouble finishing it. Lots of vegetables! I realized Vietnamese food is a great way to get your veggies whilst in HK (I have found it hard to get ample greens). Service was prompt. Space was clean and so were the bathroom and sauces(!!) which is a great indication of the cleanliness. I would highly recommend! (Maybe I'll come back to try the pho!)

I really liked the banh mi as well. It had some unique flavors with the mint and it seemed like wood ear mushrooms cut up in the sauce. Would I repeat? Yes, please!

This, in comparison to many of the street restaurants you will find around the same vicinity. In terms of the food, it is pretty good. If you were looking for some Pho or various other Asian Fusion dishes, you can find them here. Everything I've eaten here is actually pretty good. There's a few things to know about this restaurant if you are not a Hong Kong native. First of all, when you go in they will happily sit you down. But, do not expect the waiter to come and take your order. If you do not raise your hand and let them know that you are ready to order they will not return to your table. So, keep that in mind. The other thing is that when you are finished, you must wave your hand once again and let the waiter know that you want your check. If you don't, you could be sitting there, I guess, all night. Overall, good place to grab a good meal.

Honestly, considering some of the other options in the area and it's not as much of a value (price to food quality/quantity ratio) it's not a bad option if you're in Wan Chai and looking for a quick lunch. I've definitely had worse Vietnamese food in HK so this one isn't that bad.

BÊP, you have a new devotee to add to your quickly-growing fan club…read more I recently met someone here for a business meeting, as BÊP was suggested as a great spot with its ideal central location on Wellington and plentiful seating. And come on - who doesn't like Vietnamese food? Not me. I'm in the full-on love camp. When I lived in Chicago, neither heavy rain nor snowpocalypse conditions could keep me away from my weekly bowl of pho or bánh mì. Some weeks, my favorite Viet spot saw me two or three times. I know, I know - I'm addicted. Well I'm happy to report that BÊP more than satisfies my craving for legitimately solid Vietnamese fare. Because I couldn't commit to just one item, I decided to go with the 2-course lunch set. For under 100 HKD, you get to try two ample-sized dishes and you can choose a drink as well (for an additional nominal fee). However, I didn't enjoy the lotus root Vietnamese iced tea... it had a very strong, bitter taste that I fought to get down. I later switched to the lime soda and enjoyed that beverage much more! For my first course, I had the mixed green and herb salad with crispy pork belly. Wow - I was surprised by the ample portion of pork belly and it was quite good. Perfectly crispy and not overly fatty. This is my dream version of pork belly; wish it tasted like this every time! By the time our second courses came around, I had already put a nice dent into my appetite. However, the bun vermicelli with lemongrass chicken instantly enticed. The chunks of chicken were plentiful and aesthetically beautiful. Really! And the dish tasted even better so it wasn't just another pretty face. We also decided to split the lone dessert option on the menu - xoi ngot, grilled sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves, pandan coconut sauce and roasted peanuts - but this ended up sounding more appealing that it actually tasted. Would be nice to see a few more dessert options on the menu. Still stoked to have found a great spot to indulge in Vietnamese cuisine on the regular. I'll soon be back for a bowl of pho tai now that temps are finally dropping!

Good Vietnamese food is definitely not easy to come by in this town. I even feel strange for saying…read morethat, given that we are so close to Vietnam. It is funny how places like Canada, US, France, Australia have much better viet food than Hong Kong. When I first moved here, I went to so many viet places looking for some good comfort food. This was one of the only places that could satisfy my craving. I mean it still isn't the same. This restaurant in particular is quite high brow for viet food, not what I was expecting. But hey, at least their pho is good. This restaurant is quite consistent. I come here often just because it's convenient for me. They have lots of really yummy dishes, like their duck curry. One of the things that differentiates this restaurant from the other ones is that I find this restaurant much pricier than most other viet restaurants I have visited. Yes, the food is good. But in terms of value for a relatively economical cuisine, I think it is a little over priced.

You know those "hole in the wall" restaurants, describing a small run-down kinda restaurant or bar?…read moreUsually the ones with surprisingly good food? Well, in The Lotus' case, it is literally a hole in the wall. You order your takeout through a small window to the cashier, take your receipt, and go around to the doorway where a friendly woman is waiting with trays of food, a ladle, and a smile. No wonder I never noticed this place until a coworker pointed it out. Who knew you could get something that tastes so good through a hole? (Don't go there). To be fair, there is an actual fully functioning Vietnamese restaurant attached to the hole. But ain't nobody got time for that. There are tiny laminated Chinese take-out menus plastered on the wall. You can get 1) Rice with 2 Sides, 2) Chicken Rice (I think it's Hainan style), 3) Viet Vermicelli with selection of meat (e.g. chicken wing, pork chop, etc.). All of these are HKD $35, with the exception of one that is HKD $38. I couldn't really understand the rest of the menu, but I THINK it's HKD $5 for a drink. Extra rice and sauce for HKD $2. I've only ever gotten the rice with 2 sides. How do you know what kinda sides you want? You stand behind the woman in the doorway and look over her shoulder. Don't feel awkward, everyone does it. Sides are Cantonese style veggies and meats. I love the tomato and egg personally. You can also get a nice ladle of green curry on your rice or your meats. Just ask! WARNING: THE LADY THERE GIVES YOU A LOT OF FOOD. She's also extremely friendly, and can strike up a conversation with anyone...in Cantonese. Not sure how good her English is. I always ask for less rice and one time, she commented that I wasn't eating enough so she piled on one of the sides. It was awesome. She's like a lunch grandma. But don't take up too much time conversing, even if that's what you want to do. This is, after all, lunch time in rush city, and that queue behind you isn't getting any shorter. (40/100) - 2017

Like most Chinese restaurants, the service was so bad, but that was to be expected -- any request was answered with a scowl, they took forever to take our order, and then it seemed like they forgot about my food because it came out 5-10 min after my friend's food, and we had to ask about it twice. I got grilled chicken and red rice, because I was trying to eat on the healthy side and avoid too many carbs (near impossible to do here in Hong Kong - I since learned my lesson). Apparently "grilled" here means fried and oily, because it was about the opposite of grilled and healthy. The piece of chicken was fairly small. I thought the red rice was going to be more similar to black rice, but it was a tomato-flavored rice. A decent, quick meal - I probably ordered wrong and should have stuck with pho or something else. It was fine - not somewhere I'd seek out again, but not somewhere I'd avoid either if I was hungry and in a rush. Each of the dishes were around $60 HKD, so it's a fairly inexpensive lunch and slightly nicer/cleaner than some of the other hole-in-the-wall places.
