Lotus Restaurant

This is a nice restaurant with reasonable prices. The food looked fresh, appetizing, and tasted good. I enjoyed the dish overall, but the only issue was that the broccoli was a little undercooked. The restaurant is clean and has a pleasant atmosphere, although the décor and furniture feel a bit outdated. Overall, it was a good experience and I would visit again for the tasty food and affordable prices.

Food was not as good as expected. Very bland and way too many egg shells throughout the dish. Service was a challenge as I ask if pineapple could be added to the crab fried rice (language barrier). So I dare ask why does a 12.99 plate on the menu total 18.48? Atmosphere was peaceful as three ladies at two different tables conversed.

This place is a total gem. While I haven't been to many Vietnamese restaurants, this was an incredible introduction to the cuisine. ​My partner has always raved about how delicious phở is, and after finally trying it, I completely understand the hype. Having lived in San Bernardino most of my life, I’ve driven past this spot countless times. It’s located on Baseline Street, just a few doors down from Miyagi’s Sushi. Though the neighborhood can be a bit rough, this "hole-in-the-wall" is a testament to why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. ​The food is incredibly fresh and high quality, which clearly explains how they’ve stayed in business so long. I’ve already visited twice in a single week! I still need to learn the names of everything I ordered, but every dish was fantastic. ​A huge thank you to Ming for the excellent service. This is officially my go-to spot for Vietnamese food, and I look forward to coming back for years to come. Highly recommended!

Everything about this place is wrong. I placed an order to go because when I arrived the inside tables were dirty. I ordered a meatball pho with extra meatball and an orange chicken with rice The broth was overly salty as if from a concentrate that wasn’t diluted properly, the extra meatballs were two extra pieces of a quarter of a meatball an are freezer burned and the onion that was on top was already expired. I really wanted to like this place and support a mom and pop shop but the icing on the cake was being overcharged. I still tipped because I hadn’t tasted the food but hence the one star because this place is trash.

The staff were friendly and the food was nicely presented and tasted great. I ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls along with the D1 rice vermicelli noodle combo. The spring rolls were tightly wrapped and paired with a flavorful sauce. Each component of the noodle combo was good on its own, but personally, I’m not a fan of noodles mixed with sauce—I usually prefer soup noodles. I’ll definitely come back to try something different next time!
