Lotus Bistro

They recently changed the location! Still great food and really friendly staff. They’re working on returning to the full menu soon! It’s right by the 99c store, 2180 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa.

Great pho

Nice quite and. It too busy place to get some Vietnamese food in Newport. Food quality and taste doesn’t come close to the all time favorite bamboo bistro in corona Del Mar but you also don’t have to wait for an hour for a table. Their pho is good and hearty. The Vietnamese spring rolls are ok although the peanut sauce was very runny. Ambiance is nothing to right home about. Also on a Friday night they pretty much close any around 9:30. No alcohol served but you can bring your own beer which is really nice.

Helpful staff

Best pho around!

SO good. The Chicken Noodle Soup was perfect when I was sick. The broth is so nourishing.

Great soup on a cold rainy day. Will come back for sure

Yum, yum and yum. The chicken fried rice was so refreshingly hot, temperature wise. So fresh. And so tasty. We also ordered two different types of pho. A rare beef and well done brisket with cilantro, and also fillet mignon pho. They were delicious. The broth had a lot of depth to its flavor, the meat was perfectly cooked, and they’re extremely generous with the noodles and meat. Often pho is light on anything other than broth, but not here. Great value. Great taste. Food is fresh. And the servers were very polite and professional. Highly recommend.
