Easily the best Vietnamese restaurant in San Jose. Food is just right in terms of flavor, balance, spice and portions. Unpretentious and simple in decor but food is truly a revelation. Highly recommended for anyone

Happened to host close family for a Vietnamese themed dinner on Christmas eve and were left impressed with what Green Lotus has to offer.We called them up and it took a bit to get the entire order placed attributing to the number of items and the amount of inquiry/questions that we had while doing the needful.We ended up ordering (as you would see from the pictures) an array of spring roles, eggplant dish, noodle salads, milk tea and a few more. I drove in to pick up the order and when i reached there they were waiting for me to arrive so that they could as well at that time prepare the milk tea fresh and not something that was prepared and kept for a while. While we had paid for this on the call, we forgot to take care of the tip and the folks there didnt bother to mention that as well. I made sure to do another transaction just so that we could address that then and there :). Very courteous folks who definitely care a ton about their customers.Each and every item was tried and eventually finished leaving us with nothing but empty boxes at the conclusion of the dinner :) . Yummy, precisely done and a very unique flavor that was just too good.It was an overload of Vietnamese food for quite some time and hopefully we can make a trip down there soon.

Hands down one of the best vegan/vegetarian in the area: the flavor, consistency of the food, food portions, light of the place, and friendly staff.Take your time and go early or dont go hungry because this place is famous for good reasons, and unfortunately, for us, it is a small restaurant, so most likely you will expect 25 min to be seating, but the wait is worth it.Last Saturday, I enjoyed:- Green Lotus Rolls Sample (spring roll, BBQ pork roll, tofu and veggie roll, jicama roll, egg roll, and house egg roll served with three different dipping sauces).- Caramelized Roasted Pork in Clay Pot.- Cane juiceEvery single roll was tasty, and the dipping sauces elevated the flavors. The caramelized Roasted Pork chef kisses.Im still thinking about the flavors!

Best vegan hotpot in the Bay Area. There were two hotpots that caught our attention, one was the Thai tomyum base and another was the green lotus special hot pot. We decided on the green lotus special. The Base soup is extremely flavorful and the portions were very large. Good for 3 people. They had fresh sugar cane juice which was amazing!

My family and I dined here for the first time and absolute loved it. We go to vegan Asian restaurants often, and our bar was set pretty high - and I can confidently say most of the dishes we ordered met or exceeded expectations. The prices were slightly lower than similar veg restaurants of comparable quality, which was another plus!Absolute standout dishes: A10 fried oyster mushroom (mmm the peanut sauce), A8 green lotus egg roll (unique crispy wrapper encasing taro and veggies), R6 Hainan Chicken (such a yummy ginger sauce)Also delicious was the A2 Green Lotus Rolls Sample. We also enjoyed the Papaya Salad and Green Curry. The fish claypot was also yummy, but confused why the sauce was watery instead of thick (like how it’s supposed to be according to photos & other restaurants serving the same dish.)The only major critique was that it was warm and stuffy in there, with several tables full. It would’ve been nice if they turned on the AC or opened the windows.

Delicious Chinese/Vietnamese vegetarian dishes!!! We enjoyed everything we ordered (bbq “pork” springroll, mixed fried rice, and braised caramelized “pork”). Place was super clean and bright. Superb service. This is now my favourite vegetarian place in the Bay Area!

My favorite vegetarian restaurant ever! When I’m missing the Vietnamese classics, I know that Green Lotus will always satisfy that craving. The food here is exceptional and this is one of my favorite restaurants ever as a Viet vegetarian in the Bay. The staff are great and I’m always excited to eat here. I highly recommend!

Ive been here a few times and recently had the opportunity to bring coworkers to enjoy the great vegetarian options. Those meat eaters enjoyed it all. The food is good quality, great plate presentation, and loved the smoothie. That bathroom could use some TLC.

First time here & had great experience. Foods are excellent especially the green lotus egg roll. The nem nuong cuon was ok to taste. Another great dish to order if you like salad is pamelo salad. Parking lot is available.
