What people say about Green Lotus Restaurant
What surprises many people for the first time visiting Green Lotus is that vegan adaptations of Vietnamese cuisine dishes still keep the taste and consistency of traditional dishes people know. Crispy mushrooms that imitate oysters, pho, fried rice that imitates the salty fish version, spring rolls, and noodle soups are among my favorite dishes. People appreciate polite service and decent prices. The menu is quite broad, and not all the dishes suit everyone. Some people criticize the tough imitation meat textures and portions of some specific dishes. However, on average, people get satisfied because the restaurant provides a much wider Vietnamese cuisine menu for vegans than salads and vegetables.
About Green Lotus Restaurant
Green Lotus is a family-run vegan Vietnamese restaurant in the Little Saigon district of San Jose, having been open since 2016. Authentic dishes can be made with plant proteins, mushrooms, tofu, vegetables, and vegetable broth.
The menu includes pho, rice dishes, fried rice, vermicelli, hot pot, curry, rolls, and other dishes, and so the restaurant is suitable for groups who are looking for a whole Vietnamese meal without any animal protein.
The key search term attraction for Green Lotus is clearly vegan Vietnamese food in San Jose. The food continues to retain its original Vietnamese flavor rather than becoming a bland healthy option.
Since the menu is quite extensive, on the first visit, it would make more sense to go with one fresh appetizer, one noodle/soup item, and one rice dish. It will give you a better idea about the kitchen’s offerings than ordering several mock-meat dishes.
