Green Lotus Restaurant

This was my first time at Green Lotus in San Jose since the one off of Bascom closed down. I was very surprised to see the exact same menu at the San Jose location versus the Bascom location. I got takeout this particular day and the stirfry I wanted they didn’t have any more of that style, but the lady said there was a similar one that was better for takeout. I forget which one she recommended but I ordered that one as well as the mango salad and the Vegetarian Pho. Once I got to my aunts house and set up our lunches, I found out that the Pho was cold. I’m not too sure if that was due to me getting takeout or if they had not heated anything up that day. They didn’t tell me anything ahead of time so I think that’s a little odd to me.

Delicious Vietnamese vegetarian and vegan restaurants, where the staff are incredibly friendly and the food is prepared really quickly. They have a lot of "meat" substitutes and a very wide ranging menu. I recommend their crispy chicken dish or trying their specialty plates, since some of the other "classics" like pho and vermicelli bowls sadly aren't as good as other restaurants in the area.

Arrived at 11:45am on Saturday. Almost full restaurant. Ordered Thai fried rice, egg plant with basil, and mango salad, pot of hot tea for a table of four. Everything was delicious! Total came out to be $58 including tips. I would absolutely come back again!!! Probably tomorrow hahahah!

If you enjoy vegetarian food, you absolutely need to stop by this place. Every dish is full of flavor and made with so much care. Truly an impressive spot for delicious meat free meals.

I love coming here to get Vietnamese vegetarian food. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the salted fish fried rice and I also liked the bun bo hue a lot! I'd recommend this place for people who are vegetarian as there are so many options to choose from!!
