Lotus Vietnamese - good prices, portions and overall quality. I tried their shrimp rolls and vermicelli salad with a bubble tea. They offer tea without added sugar if you request it. I like the way they prepare the food - very neat and clean. Their large bubble tea is large! Lots of tapioca too, they don't skimp on the extras. read more

Lotus Vietnamese Sandwiches - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was wandering Park Slope looking for something to eat and found this place bookmarked from a long time ago and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad that I did, the banh mi sandwiches here are absolutely delicious! I got the classic banh mi with extra meat and my friend got a vegetarian banh mi and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had recently lost my wallet so I had no cash or cards on me, but thankfully this place accepted Apple Pay. The people at the counter were very kind and gave us some water while we waited for our sandwiches on this very hot day. The restaurant itself is very no-frills, no-nonsense -- just good food. If you're in search of an amazing sandwich to take with you to Prospect Park, you'd be hard pressed to beat Lotus read more

Lotus Vietnamese Sandwiches - Classic banh mi with extra meat - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Small shop but a great place for quick in and out. I stopped by to grab a Bahn mi for lunch.

Low quality banh mi imo. $10.34 per sandwich - I ordered a grilled chicken and a shredded chicken, extra spicy with jalapeños. No sriracha. + bread was not toasted and very chewy. Wasn't good. + each half of the sandwich had ONE sliver of jalapeño. Really? Super disappointing bcuz I asked for extra spicy just not with sriracha and specified jalapeños.. + grilled chicken - weird pieces of chicken (cartilage extra chewy) barely any mayo on the bread. Barely any edible meat. As mentioned - one sliver of jalapeño. +shredded chicken - more like boiled chicken cut up into pieces. It wasn't shredded. Sad one little jalapeño per half. Bread was dry and too chewy. Overall, I won't patronize lotus again. $21 (10.34+tax) for two low quality poor tasting banh mi? No thanks. read more

Lotus Vietnamese Sandwiches - Cartilage or something. Rubbery and inedible from their Grilled Chicken Sandwich. - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've ordered delivery from this spot quite a few times in the recent month and I have to say, if you're looking for a class banh mi, this HITS the spot. And their shrimp summer rolls are pretty good too. I'm not sure I'll ever make it here IRL, but for now, I'm thrilled to have a go-to delivery option for when the banh mi craving hits. read more

Quick service, amazing food, a quiet and homey atmosphere. They make the most amazing rice dish in all of the city

Well, that was disappointing, I went with a Chicken broth Pho and shredded chicken as a protein, and it wasn't good at all. The chicken felt like rubber and didn't taste like anything. All I had was the broth and the noodles, I left unsatisfied and knowing I'm not coming back here. read more

Average Pho soup considering it had been a while since I've had it. Lotus Vietnamese was a first for me. A simple order of Summer Rolls and Chicken Pho arrived quickly and promptly. As I unpacked the bag, the broth was in its own separate container while the soup bowl contained the noodles and chicken. Packages of Sriracha and Hoison sauce were included to dress up the Pho. The shredded chicken which was white meat was incredibly overcooked. The broth was average making the overall flavor somewhat bland. There was hardly any bean sprouts. Maybe Pho soup is something that should be eaten in person. The Shrimp Summer Rolls were good and comparable to others I've had. If you feel like having Pho soup in a pinch, Lotus will briefly satisfy, but I've had much better. read more

Ordered 2 classic bahn mi for me and a friend to enjoy at a bar that closed food service for the day. It didn't disappoint and worked well with soaking up the alcohol. The baguette was nice a crunchy but wasn't too dry. It had a good amount of bbq pork which I enjoy. I ordered a spicy but I would've enjoyed if it was a bit spicier. It was a small spot that was about to close but food came out quick and more people kept walking in to order food. read more

Not sure why I have never done a review for Lotus before because we have been ordering from here pretty regularly for about a year. My foreman loves them even tho he calls it the "vieannese sandwich" spot lol I love the pork sandwich which is lovely marinated pork with all the usual accutriments. If you get it spicy they add jalapenos and extra sirracha. The chicken ones are also good as they have the marinated and shredded chicken types. Traditional Vietnamese sandwich,seafood,sardines etc. Great variety. The plates with rice are great and now they have added pho to the mix. Delivery is always quick and they usually put in a treat like candy or a granola bar. Great spot. read more

I have often ordered the classic banh mi sandwich and find it really tasty and filling.

Hooray for hitting all the right flavor notes in a bahn mi! Boo for being so dang far when a gal needs a hit of the real deal Viet sandwich. The place was small and no frills but all you can think of was the little engine that could, and this was the little store that did. Hop on a train or call a cab, you won't be disappointed! read more

This was easily the WORST PHO I have ever had!!! The broth was tasteless, the noodles mushy and the meat was sliced thick and pre-cooked so it was tough and chewy. But the most egregious flaw was the fact that the noodles were sitting on a bed of Romaine Lettuce! Yes! Not bean sprouts, Romaine Lettuce. Ugh!!! I'm traumatized to have wasted my money on this lunch. Never again, Lotus!! Who are you trying to fool with this excuse for Pho? I'm embarrassed for you. read more

I was craving some banh mi that wasn't pork, so I was happy when I saw Lotus had grilled chicken on the menu. I ordered the Grilled Chicken (dark meat) Sandwich ($8.50) and Summer Rolls ($5.95). I wasn't a fan of the bread as it was on the dry side, unless you prefer that. But the chicken, was the complete opposite. Juicy, chunky, and drenched in slightly spicy sauce. They also gave plenty of vegetables. The sandwich was a very generous portion size overall. The Summer Rolls were so good! They were big and tasted so fresh. I particularly love the rice paper they used as nothing really fell apart easily. This might be my favorite summer rolls by far. Dark meat chicken is definitely a good alternative to pork in banh mis, so bless Lotus for offering this option. read more

I struggled for this rating. Their drinks and food are not the best. I noticed that in NYC, Vietnamese food is either not good or really expensive for the best. Overall, I ordered the milk tea with tapioca ($4.50) and the vegetarian chicken sandwich super spicy ($7.95). Both were presented fair. For the sandwich, I still prefer Ba Xuyen, but Lotus is closer to Atlantic Barclays. I would come back mainly for their sandwiches. Not a knock on Lotus, but I notice majority of Vietnamese places source their bread from the same supplier. It is usually between soft and crunchy. I love crunchier bread for the banh mi especially if it is toasted. read more

Food was great! We had the tofu and beef Pho. Both were very tasty. I was excited about having the opportunity to get some bubble tea. There were all sorts of flavors: almond, taro, honeydew, coconut, coffee, vanilla and mocha. I had the coconut and liked it so much that I drank it so quickly that I wished I could have had seconds. We also tried the grilled pork sandwich. That was a good size, enough to be able to share. The dining area was small, but I guess typical for the area. It was quiet. We enjoyed the Christmas carols during the Christmas season. It was soft enough so that we could hold a conversation. They also have take out. That will be convenient because my son lives around the corner. I'm sure they will become regulars, especially during the winter months. read more

Very delicious bahn mi! I come here often as they're affordable and delicious. The pork chop bahn mi (spicy) is one of the most delicious and simple sandwiches. The employees are very kind and helpful. Definitely a good no-frills lunch or dinner spot but maybe better for take out as there's not too much seating! read more

Overall, I'm very happy with the food I got from here-- and that I finally found a good Vietnamese restaurant that delivers to my place! Summer rolls taste kinda bland on their own but are yummy with the peanut sauce it comes with. They don't skimp on the sauce either which is nice. Also tried the grilled chicken banh mi-- bread to filling ratio was a bit off but the chicken was really tender and flavorful and the carrots/daikon was delicious. read more

Been here several times the food is fresh and clean totally yummy. I had the taco vegan fish dish not spicy. I love sweet taste of carrots which Translates well into the Tofu. The chef's did a magnificent job blending all flavors together for this simple dish. I take my food to go the place is small and gets crowed. I will keep coming to this sweet find. read more

We order here frequently and get the tofu Bahn Mi medium spicy, the spring rolls and bubble tea. Sandwiches are always yummy and filling, perfect balance of pickled veggies and spicy sauce with the creamy tofu. They have a wide variety of milk teas. Service is always fast and reliable and prices are very reasonable. read more

This post is only to rate the * Bubble Tea * I ordered three tea non milk based Bubble Teas, peach with green tea, pineapple with green tea and mango with green tea. They were all made perfectly and delicious. I am in living in Staten Island and we do not have a bubble tea spot like this. I missed having non milk tea based bubble tea and this location just curbs my craving. read more

Checked my vaccination card. Quick turnaround. Bread tasted fresh. Perfectly toasted. Would have preferred a more firm tofu. Usually don't like soft tofu but the way this was prepared I still enjoyed it a lot. Was looking for a greener meal without having to eat a salad. This sandwich was exactly what I wanted. read more

We were trying to go a bar nearby, but it was closed for the next hour and many of us were pretty hungry. It was cold and wet, and hot noodle soup sounded like just the thing. My husband and I split the lunch special with a sandwich and boba tea and also ordered a beef pho. All in all, it was just ok. The broth had hardly any flavor and the meat was tough. The sandwich (grilled pork) was good though, the bread was fluffy and soft and the meat was well seasoned. The vegetables were fresh and had some good crunch to it. Boba was Thai tea, and pretty standard, not extraordinary, but not bad. So if you're in a pinch, this place will do, but I wouldn't come back for the pho. read more

I absolutely love this place. Simply put it is the best pho I have had in the United States. As we head into winter, I'm sure I will be a frequent customer. Get the grilled pork pho and thank me later. The pork is marinaded to perfection and adds flavor to the pho soup. I have also had the sandwiches which I thought were very good as very. Make sure you know that Vietnamese sandwiches usually come with lots of carrots (not my personal favorite choice on a sandwich, so I ordered them on the side and they were happy to ablige). The summer rolls are a Vietnamese staple and were tasty as well. I have been here many times and would go out of my way to dine here....luckily I don't have to, and I am a frequent customer. read more

After moving out of Brooklyn 5 years ago, we still stop by Lotus to pick up a banh mi when we're in town. Over the years they've really perfected the classic. And you just don't know what you have till it's gone. We miss you everyday Lotus! And look forward to our delicious reunions. read more

Bahn Mi on the surface seems like a simple sandwich, but it really about having the right textures, balance of spice, sweetness, and savory, as well as fresh ingredients. Many places do not get it right but this place does. From the cleanness of the cucumbers and pickled daikon to the crunch of the fresh baked bread. This place had me regretting that I only ordered one and not more. Great spot! read more

In short: the sandwiches rock. Loves: + Good location (aka I used to live right above it! but if not it's on 5th Ave so shops all around) + Cheap and tasty banh mi's ($6.75 each - get the classic! yum.) + Friendly service + Accepts cards Not so love: - I had a matcha milk tea and would pass next time. Flavor was fine but it had to be mixed better. I can't speak to their other food or drink options, but due to their sandwiches alone I would happily come back. I've still got more Vietnamese spots to try but this one will definitely be one I recommend for cheap and tasty banh mi's. :) read more

Mediocre Vietnamese food, fresh ingredients but the flavoring is lacking. Ordered a sandwich and salad, and both didn't have the right flavor profiles. read more

I like the banh mi from this place. Cheap and hits the spot. I like that they use jalapeños in the banh mi. I tried the pho here once. It's fine, nothing to write home about. Fresh ingredients but they used chicken broth for everything. read more

Solid regular spot. Nothing mind blowing but consistent. Will be back. Post with enough words!
