The service was good but the food was betterThis hole in the wall place has a very small parking lot that is hard to accessOther than that, my experience was complimentary. For a party of four (it was my mom's birthday) we ordered five dishes. We ordered the spring rolls, fried tofu, steamed veggies, pho, and yellow curry to shareThe spring rolls had tofu in it along with peanut sauce. The fried tofu was freshly fried and came with a sweet chili sauce. The steamed veggies were fine. The pho had wide noodles, tofu, and spam. The yellow curry was small in portion sizeWe got to the restaurant around 11:30 am without a crowd

The food here is amazing. At least the two dishes I got were authentic tasting even tho it was vegan. My gf doesn't like the taste of meat very much and so I was so happy she got to taste what Bo Bun Hue and crispy chow mein would taste like. I would highly recommend. The portions are huge too we took left overs home and had another meal.You pay at the front and the food came out quickly.

Super quick & friendly service & food was AMAZING. Huge portions, couldn't finish all my rice.Crispy oyster mushroom appetizer was so delicious! My daughter loved her clay pot pork.Took off 1 star because I wanted to buy the jerky after noticing it after I paid our bill. They force you to pay at least $10 for credit card. After paying $74 I feel like an exception could have been made.

Green Lotus is one of our favourites vegan restaurants in the bay and we've been here numerous times. In our recent visit, we ordered the usual Oyster Mushroom appetiser which we absolutely LOOVEEEE and we also got their Thai style soup. I remember the oyster mushroom always being fantastic, but was a bit let down this time to find it not hot and crispy as it usually is. Nevertheless, delicious! Thai soup hit all the right spots - a yummy mix of veggies, mock meat and pineapple. The portions are big and just these two items was enough for me & my partner - we devoured them. Hope to back many times before the end of winter ;)

Amazing service! The staff are friendly and accommodating. Clean dining area although simply decorated. There is fantastic mural painted on one of the walls though. Adds to the place's authenticity. Lots of vegan and healthier options. Prices are a bit high but portions are fair. Only downside : parking is awful! But still worth the food.

We've been here a bunch of times and it is now our favorite vegan Vietnamese spot. The first time we came, I could not believe it was vegan. The food is just so scrumptious and satisfying, and their prices aren't that bad either.Some of our favorite dishes are the Salted "Fish" Fried Rice, Soft Chow Mein, and "Chicken" & Mushroom Fried Rice. And the portions are huge! 2 people can easily share one dish. They have some really delicious tea drinks too.Always an enjoyable experience when we come here; service is excellent, all staff wear smiles, are so welcoming and friendly. Interior is spacious and comfortable, neat and clean. We've never been disappointed. Highly recommend.

My favorite spot for vegetarian Vietnamese food! We usually go to the location on Story Road, but we thought it would be pretty packed for Lunar New Year, so we went to the Bascom location instead! Everything tasted amazing as usual. My favorites are the vegetarian bun bo hue and deep fried oyster mushrooms. I also love their Green Lotus Hot Pot, but that would be for next time! I feel like the service here is so much better than the service at the Vietnam Town location, and the interior is much more spacious as well.

Very good vegetarian restaurant. I love their eggplant tofu dish. I wish I had pictures but I always gobble my food up the minute they bring it out. Not all dishes have imitation meat, which is typically made from wheat gluten. Several dishes are made with Tofu which I much prefer. I don't think this restaurant has gluten free options (not sure) but you have "low gluten" options if you don't order dishes with imitation meat. If you have no dietary restrictions, this place is paradise.

I love Green Lotus! The portions are generous, the food is always fresh and the service is quick and kind.I usually do a pickup for lunch so I haven't eaten inside the restaurant but the travels really well and always tastes fresh, they even vent the fried foods to prevent them from getting soggy. I've been eating here for a while and have tried so many things at this point, I'm surprised I'm barely reviewing. In fact, I ordered a bunch of food from here for Thanksgiving this year because I like it so much. Items I love and will 100% order on repeat - Crispy Seasoning Oyster Mushroom (10/10): I love everything about this dish. It's crispy, the coating is super flavorful, the bell peppers hit. I have to stop myself from overindulging when I get this. FYI I don't use the sauce they come with because they don't need it, but I also don't love the flavor. - Papaya Salad (9/10): Delicious! I've always loved papaya salad. It's so crispy, refreshing and flavorful. - Thai's Style Fried Rice (10/10): The rice is extremely flavorful. No notes. - Shaken Beef Rice Plate (8/10): The rice portion of the plate is HUGE! The sauce they use is delicious, I love all the bell peppers. - Sautéed Crunchy Shrimp with Pepper (10/10): Extremely flavorful coating, love the text and the bell peppers. Another dish where I would eat the entire container if I had the space in my belly. - Caramelized Roasted Pork in Clay Pot (9/10): Flavor bomb! And the texture hits like pork belly. Having this over rice is a hit. Items I liked but aren't on my faves list- Sautéed Crunchy Fish with Lemongrass & Pepper (7/10): This is a solid dish. I did not dislike it, it's just not special enough to be in my rotation. The "fish" and sauce was flavorful but I don't think it gives enough fish flavor to pass. - Salted Fish Fried Rice (7/10): The rice was good but not as good as the Thai style imo. - Combination Vermicelli Bowl (6.5/10): I liked this but did not fall in love with it, maybe more sauce less noddles would make me like it more? Items I've tried but would not order again- Shrimp Cake (6/10): This was not bad but too clunky/dense and not flavorful enough to add to my rotation. - Sautéed Beef with Broccoli (6/10): I think this is just too basic to be in my rotation. It's a solid alternative but doesn't pack enough punch to make me want it over and over again. - Soft Chow Mein (10/10): I tried this prior to becoming vegan. I love everything about it, but the egg noodles make it non-vegan so sadly can't have it again. - Eastern Duck Style Noodle Soup (5.5/10): I didn't love the broth, it was too sweet for my liking. Had to add LOTS of chili and sriracha. Also non-vegan due to egg noodles so wouldn't order again either way. - Soft Chow Fun (5/10): You'd think this would be just as good as the soft chow mein since they're pretty much the same minus the noodles but this was too bland for me.- Egg Roll (2/10): I did not like the egg rolls, the interior was too mushy and the seasonings did not make up for it.
