Lotus1 Vietnamese Astoria Reviews
This is a solid affordable Vietnamese joint. We had a pho, and a vegetable bún, both tasted fresh and great. The service is also great, not loud and pushy. I’ll definitely come back!
I rarely leave reviews online. But I must say. This place is amazing!! I got shredded chicken banh mi, papaya salad, iced coffee and desert. They all tasted absolutely delicious!! Papaya salad veggies were super fresh. And the portion size?? AMAZING!! recently portion sizes at restaurants sizeably decreased especially for salads. But this place surprised me!! The baguette for the bread was also fresh and light and was toasted to perfection. Deliver was right on time! Which is a whole another level of skill in nyc. Thanks to everyone working there and keep up the good work!! I'm so glad to have found this place. I will be a regular!
Delicious beef pho with a unique twist! Not your typical flavor, but I loved the hint of spice. Plus, their $2 beer special is an unbeatable deal!
The pork Banh mi taste like how my grandma used to make them it for me when I was a kid and I’ve never even been to Vietnam. I’m not even Vietnamese. And I only had Banh Mi for the first time a week ago.
Despite being off the beaten path of Astoria eateries, I will happily trek to the depths of residential pathways to enjoy a hearty, delicious bowl of pho. I love this place for the way they treat vegetarians as equals and provide them as much variety as omnivores. It was refreshing to see so many options beyond the usual tofu entree, I regret that my first visit here wasn’t made on an empty stomach, I would’ve ordered so much more. I ordered the veg chicken pho, fresh summer rolls and veg fish bahn mi. Summer rolls were a great light appetizer, like a little rice noodle salad with fresh peanut sauce. The bahn mi was incredibly delicious, the bread was soft and warm. Veggies were fresh and absolutely loved the soy fish that was like marinated tofu with seaweed. The star was definitely the pho, the broth was so savory and mock chicken was like a tofu roll with gluten based for a more accurate texture. The service was phenomenal, our server was incredibly attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this place for vegetarians especially, I will definitely be back to try other items!
We order from here regularly because they have some of the most delicious vegetarian subs and pho. Tons of meat alternatives including vegan chicken, fish and pork. I typically will get the tofu pho or vegan chicken sub. The restaurant is pretty cute, not that many tables but when we went it was pretty quiet. The staff are very friendly and the food very clean and yummy.
Came to the district for my dad’s eye surgery. Found this little gem in the neighborhood. I’m astonished by their food & drink! Their portion is huge. Food tastes so gooooood. Will definitely come again whenever I’m in this neighborhood!!!
The pho here is top notch. I got the grilled chicken pho and it’s some of the best pho I’ve ever had. They served the grilled chicken on the side vs in the bowl with the broth and noodles which I’m used to. The grilled chicken was very flavourful and juicy, and the broth is delicious. For just about $12, you won’t find a better bowl of pho around.
Yummy! The pork chops over rice, almond bubble tea and pork dumplings were tasty. The portions are very filling. This is the 1st fast food type of establishment I've seen for Vietnamese food for me. I did have my doubts initially because of that, but I took a chance and am very happy. The main dish was nicely priced at $7 but the dumplings I thought was a bit pricey at $6. However, when you order up to $20 you get a free bubble tea! And if you're wondering the bubbles in the tea where at the perfect constancy :)
Yummy! The food is amazing, portions are filling, at a cheap price that's hard to find these days... Spend $20 and get a few bubble tea!!!! This is the pork chop over rice, fried dumplings, and bubble tea. The pork is tender seasoned well. I wouldn't take a person on a first date year as it's more fast-food like ambiance we're just several seats to enjoy your meal quickly. They absolutely deliver. $6 for dumplings... Okay a bit pricey... But when the meal is only $7, I'm okay with a total $13 meal. I highly recommend given this place a try.
4.5 /5. Tofu banh mi was excellent. I opted out of butter but got Mayo, generous amount of carrots and solid flavor and texture. Bread was warm and airy, perfect. Could’ve had more filling … asked for extra tofu it was $3 more so I passed however more filling would’ve been perfetto. Regardless great banh mi.
I would describe this place as an order-to-go restaurant. This small place has 3-4 tables. I stumbled upon this place on Yelped. I was shopping around LIC and I had sudden cravings for pho. It was this or District Saigon. We drove passed District Saigon and it didn’t seem authentic and it seems pricey. So we ended selecting the cheaper place. I ordered a beef pho, viet iced coffee, a classic bahn mi, dumplings, and grilled pork to share. Everything was in a to-go container or paper plate. I didn’t mind given that I knew this was a more of a to-go spot. Viet coffee was on point! Strong and sweet. The beef pho was just okay. The broth was a bit bland. No raw meats like how most viet restaurant makes their pho. I didn’t mind it was still good but I wish it was a bit more flavorful. Bahn mi was out of the world. Super fresh bread and ingredients. I wanted to order another one immediately. I would totally recommend their sandwiches. The rice was not that great. The grilled pork was too dry. The dumplings were nothing special. If anything it was overkill for me. Overall I would definitely go back but just for their banh mi and iced coffee! :) you should try the classic. Oh! And it was $/$$$$. Enjoy!
You're obviously not going to get the same deliciousness as being in Vietnam but unfortunately this Pho wasn't great. Lacks flavor and I had to get more condiments to make the best of it. District Saigon is an alternative option but unfortunately they weren't open till 5pm.
If you’ve never had pho, you’ll think this is good. If you’ve ever had pho, you’ll think this is bad. For food in general, it’s decent. For pho, it’s subpar. Go to elmhurst or flushing and get actual good pho. This feels like it’s bland and made for the neighborhood. Far from a true Vietnamese food experience.
Was truly disappointed with the food here. I really wanted to like it as I don’t feel I’m too picky with food but my friend and I ordered the spring rolls and the combo pho, and we were not impressed. The spring rolls tasted like rubber and the peanut sauce was mostly just creamy peanut butter but somehow tasted more bland than regular peanut butter. Mainly just lettuce in the rolls and we were just chomping like rabbits. The pho was a bit tasteless and the meat quantity was quite sparse. Won’t be coming back.
Not worth it. I ordered the pho and summer rolls for lunch - total around $23.50 w/ tax $7.50 for 2 summer rolls was on par for what I expect, but it was lacking heavily. Don’t let the picture deceive you, the shrimp looks massive, but it’s sliced very thinly and you barely notice it when eating. The vegetables are just chopped lettuce, a pinch of vermicelli noodles, and a single mint leaf. Usually you’d see some cucumber or carrot - but the roll was absolutely barren. The peanut sauce was fine but it really feels like youre eating a whole lot of nothing. The pho, for about 14.50 - not great. I’ve had better for cheaper, but I’d also pay more for it to be better. The broth tastes like pho, but it lacks that deep flavorful breadth you’d expect from such a rich broth. Not to mention - i feel that the noodles and meat are way less than what you’d expect. Usually some restaurants offer extra noodles so you can finish off your soup, but I definitely wouldn’t here.
Just terrible. The owner should be ashamed of serving such a terrible food. pho is just disgusting, never had worse food in my life
First time here. Never again. Pho tasted like plain water. The grilled chicken rice was a joke, just scraps of chicken. Bland sauce. A total waste of money.
Horrible pho soup they don’t use any beef in it whatsoever in the broth and use chicken broth for a beef pho. The broth is literally only made of water and has no flavor whatsoever. Really bad avoid it.
Beef pho is water, no flavor. Spring rolls are tiny and hard as a rock. Beef broth is clear.
