Reviews for Lotus Bistro in Newport Beach, CA
Staff was very friendly and my pho was great! My husband got the fried rice with beef and had enough beef for every bite! Prices... and good for the area. Will definitely be returning for date night. Read more
Honestly, the food was just not good. And they forgot part of my order. Should’ve known it wasn’t gonna be good when I saw... curry on the menu for a Vietnamese restaurant. Read more
Tasty! They use the freshest ingredients. My fav is the Rare Beef Pho! Always delicious! It just might be the best pho in... Newport Beach! And reasonable prices! Service is fast and friendly! They do take out as well! The decor is nice and peacefulwith lanterns. Almost feels like you’re in SE Asia. Read more
Food is so good! Staff is amazing
Fantastic food only highlighted by the excellent owners! I can't recommend the spring rolls and chicken pho enough. Support... this quality restaurant! Read more
We wish we could give Lotus Bistro a higher rating and that it lived up to its hype, but sadly, it doesn’t. We got the Filet... Mignon Pho and the Chicken Pho delivered and everything came poorly packaged in styrofoam containers. The noodles and meat werein the same small styrofoam container and bc the filet was completely rare and the bag was opened, the blood had seeped all overon to the noodles and it just looked so unappealing. The filet mignon itself was soft as butter though. The chicken, on theother hand, was totally dry. I like the addition of fried onions for the soup, but really we just had broth and some noodles bcof how dry the chicken was. It was as if it had been made weeks ago and there was no way to save it and no amount of broth couldhave made it tender. No one wanted to eat it. The noodles were also on the hard side and not the freshest for either pho aswell. There are just such better pho places in OC that there would be no reason to ever try this place again. Read more
If you are craving Pho, Lotus Bistro is the place to go! I always order a large #20 (chicken pho) and it is consistently... delicious! Some weeks it tastes a little more bland than others (less salt), but usually it's perfect! Portion, food quality,and service is great. Sometimes it takes a while to get your bill (especially if you're there towards the end of the night), butyou can just walk up to the register and get someone's attention. I also highly recommend the Vietnamese Dumplings (in the Newsection of the menu) and their shrimp rolls. I've had the calamari too. Can't really go wrong with anything. Enjoy! Read more
Very tasty chicken pho. Pork spring rolls very good as well
