On a wednesday night and packkkk. That tells you how good this place is. Highly recommended regardless you are vegetarian or not.
Our favourite Vietnamese vegan restaurant in San Jose so far - the food is amazing and reasonably priced (although I think prices have been raised very recently, after we last went) I never miss the Spicy Pho… we also love the various fried rice options. The flavours are authentic & balanced, and the standard is comparable to food I’ve eaten in Vietnam.
Delicious Chinese/Vietnamese vegetarian dishes!!! We enjoyed everything we ordered (bbq “pork” springroll, mixed fried rice, and braised caramelized “pork”). Place was super clean and bright. Superb service. This is now my favourite vegetarian place in the Bay Area!
Great vegetarian dishes here!!! We finished everything. Reasonable price too! I hope we have more restaurants like this in the US.
Happened to host close family for a Vietnamese themed dinner on Christmas eve and were left impressed with what Green Lotus has to offer.We called them up and it took a bit to get the entire order placed attributing to the number of items and the amount of inquiry/questions that we had while doing the needful.We ended up ordering (as you would see from the pictures) an array of spring roles, eggplant dish, noodle salads, milk tea and a few more. I drove in to pick up the order and when i reached there they were waiting for me to arrive so that they could as well at that time prepare the milk tea fresh and not something that was prepared and kept for a while. While we had paid for this on the call , we forgot to take care of the tip and the folks there didn't bother to mention that as well. I made sure to do another transaction just so that we could address that then and there :). Very courteous folks who definitely care a ton about their customers.Each and every item was tried and eventually finished leaving us with nothing but empty boxes at the conclusion of the dinner :) . Yummy, precisely done and a very unique flavor that was just too good.It was an overload of Vietnamese food for quite some time and hopefully we can make a trip down there soon.
My family and I dined here for the first time and absolute loved it. We go to vegan Asian restaurants often, and our bar was set pretty high - and I can confidently say most of the dishes we ordered met or exceeded expectations. The prices were slightly lower than similar veg restaurants of comparable quality, which was another plus!Absolute standout dishes: A10 fried oyster mushroom (mmm the peanut sauce), A8 green lotus egg roll (unique crispy wrapper encasing taro and veggies), R6 Hainan Chicken (such a yummy ginger sauce)Also delicious was the A2 Green Lotus Rolls Sample. We also enjoyed the Papaya Salad and Green Curry. The fish claypot was also yummy, but confused why the sauce was watery instead of thick (like how it’s supposed to be according to photos & other restaurants serving the same dish.)The only major critique was that it was warm and stuffy in there, with several tables full. It would’ve been nice if they turned on the AC or opened the windows.
If you happen to be a veggie-head, it’s actually really good. Some of the people dining here look anemic. It’s kind of funny. There’s a special level in hell for vegetarian Vietnamese cuisine. You merely survive the experience.
I love the vegetarian choices here. They could make it spicy as I like and not too salty. Would love to come back to try another menus.
Texture was excellent. Some things are a dead giveaway. But some of the food did not taste like it was vegan/vegetarian.
First time here & had great experience. Foods are excellent especially the green lotus egg roll. The nem nuong cuon was ok to taste. Another great dish to order if you like salad is pamelo salad. Parking lot is available.
