Lotus - San Luis Obispo

Without a doubt, this was the best pho I've ever had. The beef broth was rich and flavorful. I ordered the small combination pho, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and very helpful, too.

A delightful discovery made by chance... what a pleasure it was! The aromas of the sauces were incredibly rich and well-developed. The yellow curry was outstanding! The French baguette was light and fluffy on the inside with a perfectly crispy crust—just right! The dipping sauce for the Fresh Rolls was out of this world! The pho was also quite good. The only area for improvement is that during busier times, when every table was full, the staff seemed to lose a bit of their friendly customer service. A gentle reminder from management could help address this issue. We'll definitely return next time we're in SLO!

I was very impressed by this cozy restaurant that offers fantastic Vietnamese cuisine. We ordered the chicken pan and a pork dish, and both were excellent. We also added an order of garlic noodles for just $1.00, which was a great decision!

Great place to make a bite to nibble service was excellent and the restaurant meets my expectations of cleanliness. The prices are reasonable and the food was delicious. We all had a great time here

We've been enjoying dining at Lotus for the past year or so. Our favorite items are the pork bahn mi sandwich (super delicious seasoned meat and crisp baguette that isn't too bread-y) and the rare beef pho with beef broth. My husband and I usually split those two things. If we want an appetizer the firecracker shrimp and the fresh spring rolls are very good. The service is usually friendly, however at times when they are very busy they seem a bit overwhelmed and could use an extra employee or two.
