Got a large pho, had spring rolls. Also having a stroke cause usually I can write better but if anything from this review know this: Please know how to eat Pho before ordering it or I will cry.

You have to try the pho special this soup is so Amazing! You get some fresh stuff aside and dunk as much as you want! The portions are gigantic! Even a small is enough! Also good to take away. Food is fresh and real healthy!

During our lovely visit to Watertown, we had the pleasure of exploring a Vietnamese restaurant. The warm welcome from the locals set the tone for a delightful experience. Arriving an hour before closing, we found the place pleasantly serene, allowing us to savor our meal without any rush. The menu boasted a wide array of pho options, surprising us with the diverse selection available in this charming town. Opting for rolls and veggie pho with meat broth, we were delighted by the flavorful broth and the freshness of the ingredients in our bowls. The large portion size came as a pleasant surprise, offering great value at a reasonable price point. While the interior decor was simple yet tasteful, it complemented the overall dining experience. Overall, our visit to the Vietnamese restaurant was a delightful one, featuring delicious food, generous portions, friendly locals, and affordable prices.

I've been wanting to try Lotus for a long time, and I was not disappointed. My friend and I shared an app, shrimp dumplings. These had a weird, sticky texture, but they were tasty. For my entree, I got the shrimp rice plate. The shrimp were plentiful and grilled to perfection. They didn't really need the dipping sauce, but I dipped them anyway. The jasmine rice was good as well, but there was way too much to finish. My dining partner had their house special pho, with three kinds of meat. He ordered a medium sized bowl, but it was humongous!!! He thoroughly enjoyed the soup. Service was polite and the atmosphere was casual and pleasant.

Nice South East Asian inspired restaurant. The service was very fast and friendly. The pho was good and they were showing cartoons for the children. If you are nearby and want fast, friendly and unfussy service I definitely think you should check this place out.

I went in to place a take out order today. Hostess was on the phone on speaker while the person on the phone was yelling, and I was told to wait while she spoke on the phone. I ordered my favorite that I usually have, the fried egg roll vermicelli bowl that is *printed on the menu*, and she told me that they don’t have an egg roll bowl, I can only add egg rolls to the other bowls for $2 extra. No silverware in the bag either. I love this place but not the best experience unfortunately

Been coming here for almost 2 years. The staff are always so rude, and in a bad mood. Whether you call in to place your order, or dine in they’re always rude. There is a young lady with really short hair who is very kind, and sweet, but besides her the rest of the staff are so rude for no reason.

I was visiting in the area and was craving for pho. I read all the positive reviews and was excited to give this restaurant a try. I was so disappointed. The Summer Rolls were very wide and 1/2 was filled with lettuce. The lettuce was not green, and it looked like leftover lettuce. The peanut dipping sauce was very runny with a very light taste, and it should be thicker and flavorful. I gave up on the Summer Rolls and started eating the pho. It looked great, but unfortunately, look was very deceiving. The broth has so little flavor and I had to add the brown sauce and hot sauce to add flavor to the broth. The papaya babo drink I got didn't taste like papaya at all. One good thing is that my dog did like the chicken from the pho. Instead of slicing the chicken, it was shredded in thick pieces. The hostesses were very friendly and informative. The restaurant was clean. Unfortunately I don't like the food. I wouldn't eat here again if I ever find myself traveling in the area again.

Used to love this place, not sure what changed but downhill for sure. Twice now my wife has picked up take out and the portions have shrunk. They give us less stuff for two large pho than they do for one in store. Stinks because we were going here at least twice a month. Done with them now.

I have come to Lotus to order A vegetarian Pho.I got it alright.Thats was a bowl filled with rice noodles some veggies, tofu WITH NO FLAVOR???To be precise no veggies broth ,no spice? When I had asked a young waitress regarding the taste of the dish:She would reply "But it's vegetarian!!!' Please excuse me any dish would have a certain taste to it! and this was just blunt and nothing more not even a spices??? Ok ??? I then asked to change it with a vegetarian stir fry with no eggs Same issue it's not even stir fry cooked.Plus when I had expessy opinion suddenly the have an attitude saying I'm rude when I say that???Not Recommended this outfit

Me and my girlfriend would go to this place many times. This time though, the waitress took our order made us wait 30min for our drinks came back forgot to put our order in put it in waited another 45min came back saying they didn’t have what we ordered offered other options one of the options being what we ordered made us wait another hour and complimented our drinks but after 2+ hours no food. They tried apologizing so we said we aren’t interested anymore and left. The worst it has ever been it use to be so good but now not even worth it.

Steadily going down hill after changing ownership many times. No peanut sauce with spring rolls which were not rolls but giant blobs. Daikon and carrot are no longer pickled, i could go on and on. I have been going to the lotus for over 15 years. This place only gets business form being the only vietnamese in a 100 mile radius. quality is bad news

In the past few months ,I almost came here once a week, and today everything changes, first:once I taste the soup, it’s lighter than hot water, ,and the chefs saying that’s how they make soup everyday, but I can tell the differences between what they used taste, second: I ask for extra meats and they charged me 3.6 each meat which last time I paid 4.99 or 5.99for extra meats,I wish I can rate a 0 star. I’m really disappointed, will never come to this place again, it’s really terrible experience.
