Lotus Restaurant

Best Pho and service in all off San Bernardino. An absolute gem! Middle of heat wave or bitter cold winters this place always hits the spot. Place is owned and operated by the sweetest family. Always super friendly and hospitable.

I have had lotus Restaurant on my list for years.Lol we finally made it here today Jan 15th 2025.Employees/staff/owners are very friendly, welcoming, and attentive.Inside has a lot of tables.Upon walking in it's a seat yourself where you want and menu's are on the tables.We opted for 2 pho combination large bowls $ 11.50 each.Brisket, flank, steak, fatty flank, tripe, tendon, and meatballs.Decent size with an abundance of meat.Broth is clean just wished it had more of a star anise than beef but it was still yummy.Meats were tender and tasty especially the meatballs which are yummy unlike most pho spots the meatballs are not tasty.(Too chewy) but not here the meatballs are tender.We also ordered a beef banh mi but they gave us chicken but it's the same price $5.50 so no big deal.The banh mi was ok not my favorite but still decent especially for the price.Overall a good spot to grab some grub and friendly service!

Probably one of the best Pho restaurants I have been to in quite a while. It's definitely something to try. They also offer a variety of Vietnamese items like sandwiches and noodle plates. Parking can be a challenge if it's busy as they don't have a very large parking lot. Nice owners and very attentive to anything you may need. Food came out fast AND hot. It was just so delicious. It's definitely a mom and pop type of restaurant where they treat you like they know you. Highly recommend this place!!

Best Vietnamese food in the area!!! This is the SPOT for a delicious, fresh and filling meal. Don't skip out on the egg rolls and garlic chicken wings for appetizers, they are so good!!! I ended up getting the special vermicelli bowl (dac biet bun) which was so yummy and fresh!! It comes with egg rolls, grilled chicken and grilled pork. The portion and prices are also super good value. Highly recommend if you are looking for a tasty and fresh dish. Some of my friends also got the pho and it was piping hot and delicious as well. You can't go wrong here with anything you order. Service is also quick, friendly and fast. The owners are super sweet and kind to their customers!! I'll definitely be coming back for more.

After a long day of snowboarding in Big Bear, we wanted some soup and this was the closest Vietnamese restaurant in the area. It's a pretty busy intersection but it has a small parking lot so you should be OK.We got there around 5:30 and the restaurant was empty, but it felt very homey. The owner and all the staff were very friendly and it felt like I was speaking to my family. They didn't have the Nem Nuong but we ordered the shrimp version instead and it was actually pretty solid! I like the additions of bean sprouts for the crunch.I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and the broth was great. It wasn't the traditional BBH broth with the pork blood, pork feet (which I don't like anyway) and meatball. I think they were catering to the demographics of the area. Plus I was hungry so it was soothing to my soul.My gf and two other friends got the Pho. The broth was really good. I honestly wouldn't mind coming back here more often if I'm in the area. It was only $58 for the 4 of us and hot tea. Food was super cheap (maybe because I always think of OC or LA prices) and service was super fast. Thank you Lotus!

Service was average for us but it could very well be due to a big language barrier. Food was good. Iced coffee was good, too, but overpriced for the amount of beverage you actually get compared to the ice. It's mostly ice. Their menu looks really promising, lots of pictures, with lots of variety. We had the wonton soup, shrimp noodle soup, sugar cane shrimp paste rolls, and grilled pork banh mi. The sandwich was served on a crusty French roll rather than a baguette, and I believe it was $5.50, which seems fair. It's in a bad part of San Bernardino (Baseline), but it is nice and peaceful inside with lots of seating. Our total was $48 for the food and 2 iced coffees.

What is a perfect remedy on a Sunday morning??Well let me tell you, with a bowl of Lotus pho and a Vietnamese chicken sandwich, you are guaranteed to feel rejuvenated and ready to conquer to world in no time. Despite the location being in a little austere area, the food is great and the owner is oh so kind! If you are ever in the area I encourage you to stop on by (:

This place is such a great place to have lunch, the service is always quick and they are very attentive. The food is always amazing and the pricing is very reasonable. Definitely a little hidden gem to go to during the daytime. I say daytime because this is in downtown San Bernardino so you never know in SB. :)

This is the best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to in North America. I've been to hundreds of places in Canada and in the United States, this one is the best. Crazy cheap prices and all the food is amazing.The only bad part is location as it's nestled in a very sketch area almost as bad as south central. Regardless, it's worth the risk of being robbed and murdered.

Great spot, best Vietnamese food ive come across. Good service and you can order ahead if you want. Always in pretty clean condition too only time ive seen different is when its packed on the weekends
