Very authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Ordered the spicy soup noodle Bún bò Huế. Very rich in flavor, protein was plentiful and the broth has a lot of depth! I highly recommend it if you can eat spicy and want to try something different from your standard Phở dish! But only order it if you can handle spicy!

Lotus Restaurant is a great go-to in Richmond for solid Vietnamese comfort food. The pho is flavourful and well-balanced, with a clean broth that doesn’t feel too heavy, and generous portions of meat and noodles. The vermicelli bowls are just as good — fresh, vibrant, and packed with texture from the herbs, pickles, and grilled meats. It’s a reliable spot when you’re craving something satisfying and consistent.

When I sat down, I waited about five minutes and no one gave me a menu, so I had to ask for one myself. After ordering, I waited another five minutes for my hot tea, but it never came until I asked again.
The lady server brought pho over and just slammed it on the table without saying anything, then walked away. It felt very rude and unprofessional. Also had to ask for bean sprouts and lime.
After finishing my food, I asked for water and waited another five minutes with no response. At that point, I just paid my bill and left. The service was disappointing from start to finish. And paying $20 for a bowl of pho, especially with a portion this small, did not feel worth it.
NEVER AGAIN.

The overall taste of the food is quite good, but the portion size is noticeably small. We ordered the large size, expecting something substantial, but it looked more like a medium portion, especially considering the $20 price tag. Because of that, it didn’t really feel like a good value for the money.
This place has been open for a long time and was once known for generous portions and great quality, but lately it seems to have become just average. It’s still decent, but not at the level it used to be, which is a bit disappointing.
On a positive note, the service remains very good. The staff are attentive, polite, and make sure you’re taken care of throughout your visit. Their friendly and responsive attitude definitely stands out.

Came here for pho and got the #2. It was okay — flavor was kinda mediocre and the portion felt small for the price. Nothing bad, just not super memorable. Service was nice though and the place was clean and quick. Decent spot if you’re in the area and craving pho!

I like the food. The taste, portions, presentation is a thumbs up. The dining area could use a bit more brightness but that is just my opinion. The food makes up for it.

In adittion to the food being really good. They have gluten free spring rolls. Yay
Nice atmosphere with big TVs to watch the game. Food was decent, but definitely not my favorite Vietnamese place for the price point. Decent variety in the menu.

Good broth, small serving for a large order? Bad service. Server wont even say thank you after you tipping.
Like the other reviews below, I can also agree that the portion for prices is not good. They charge more for large size but the product is a small size. Currently writing as an hungry customer after finishing what the server said is a “large” size. I am a small and skinny 5”5 human with average appetite. Peak dinner time at 6:30pm with no crowd so there is no excuse.
