Lotus Restaurant in Menlo Park is such a gem! I had the Hawaiian BBQ chicken plate and it was absolutely delicious. Generous portions, flavorful and so satisfying. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of their Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. Definitely a great go-to lunch spot in Menlo Park!

Love this place!! Hands down one of my favorites around. Been coming year for a few years, food is always great and the owner Phil is super friendly. Every time I've come in he's going table to table and chatting with customers, he's always able to strike up conversation with anyone. I always feel taken care of!

Some of my favorite spam musubi in the area, and the Beijing crispy beef is soo good. Honestly everything I've tried has been great....

Very inclusive place that accommodate to different dietary restrictions, with vegan items on the menu! Phill served us and he is fun and very kind, social, and we very much enjoyed our time! Food was delicious, portions are generous — attaching pictures of our vegan dishes: tofu kungpao and tofu with eggplants in garlic sauce, yum!!!!
