The food is just delicious. I had the mushu-mushu wrap as a starter, it’s my favorite. And for entree I had the cha-cha spicy shrimp and it’s a 10/10. I’m a pick eater, so I’m really glad to find dishes I really like.

I treasure Golden Lotus and have been coming here for over 15 years. I try to make it in each time I am back in Oakland. Beloved.
Always so good here! Service is always great, food flavor is always consistent. Everything is always vegan. I’ve tried everything at least once and nothing has ever disappointed me. I love the chacha shrimp!

Golden Lotus serves some of the best food, with a menu that includes must-try dishes like pot stickers and cha cha "shrimp." The restaurant's ambiance is unique, resembling an awkward spa or dentist office. Despite some inconsistencies in service, the food is consistently tasty, vegan-friendly, and prepared with care and attention to detail. The menu features a variety of delicious vegan Asian dishes, including healthier versions of traditional Vietnamese and Chinese classics, all packed with flavor. The Vietnamese coffee is rich and full-bodied without any dairy, and the fried rice has a wok-fried flavor. The atmosphere offers a good vibe and friendly service that is just attentive enough. Golden Lotus is a popular spot for vegetarians and those seeking a healthy, flavorful alternative to typical Asian restaurants in Oakland, with affordable prices making it a go-to destination for many loyal customers.
