Great roll sampler! Spicy noodle soup was disappointing. But extensive menu!

The food is some of the tastiest I’ve had in awhile. They were fast and dish sizes were huge. I didn’t order and just ate the appetizers others ordered and was stuffed. Highly recommend and on the way to SFO from the south.

Not the most inviting interior, very minimalist, but the food is AMAZING! I'm not Vegan or even vegetarian. Their take on plant-based meat is delicious, i didn't even miss the real meat. My friend said he had to bring his girlfriend here. We were very pleasantly surprised and wud definitely return.

We ordered mango salad, combination fried rice and chicken stir fry with lemon grass & pepper. All were amazing. Big portion sizes. Great service! Parking lot a bit small, but waiting a few min may help as cars keep coming and going. Best vegan food in San Jose!!

The food here is solid, and I love that they offer a smaller portion of Pho! The size is just right—not too heavy, but enough to satisfy without feeling overstuffed.
Vegan Pho & Red Curry: The Red Curry was especially good—rich, flavorful, and served in a piping hot bowl that keeps the heat locked in. The Vegan Pho (with an ideal portion size) was decent, though it can taste a bit bland if you don’t add enough spices. Thankfully, they provide fresh powdered chili, which really enhances the flavor. With a few extra seasonings, it tastes just right.
Service: Decent service with a friendly staff.
Ambience: Nice interiors with a clean, casual setup. Despite having a bit of a fast-food feel, the atmosphere is still enjoyable.
PS: Really wish they offered more small-portion items on the menu—the sizing would be perfect!

The food here is so good we bring our omni friends here and they’re impressed. Menu is almost entirely vegan which is amazing. Staff is super nice. They also sell vegan imitation meat and jerky. Fav dishes are salted fish fried rice (the bomb!), mango salad, spring rolls sampler, Green Lotus “egg” rolls, sautéed beef w broccoli.

Love this place and am happy to see how popular it is on a daily basis. We go almost every time we visit San Jose for an awesome lunch. I love the stir fried tofu with lemongrass and pepper. The serving size is huge, so we always share several dishes as well as appetizers. Our kids love the crispy fried tofu and spring rolls and usually share a vegan pho.

Good veggie food in a very casual environment. Good quality for the price.
Ordered for a dinner party and was very happy. The order was ready (and hot) exactly when I requested it, the customer service very friendly. The portions are very generous so it’s a good value too. Everything was delicious - of note were the crispy mushrooms, the bbq “pork” rolls, the mango salad and the “chicken” and mushroom fried rice. Our non-vegetarian friends really enjoyed it too, I think we got you a couple of fans. Thanks for making our party a huge hit.
We are frequent customers at Green Lotus and the quality of food is consistently great. Vegan "chicken", "beef", "fish" - we tried them all, and each of my family members has their favorite. (My personal fav is yellow curry with kabocha squash and taro). They use high quality ingredients, there are always nice chunks of fresh veggies. This picture is bo kho ("beef stew") - we had it for the first time today,very flavorful and rich.

I came to visit San Jose and was excited to see there was a vegetarian/vegan Asian place in the neighborhood. I ordered a whole bunch of food because I'm going to be here for a few days and I figured that leftovers would be welcome. Everything I got was not quite how I had hoped. The peanut sauce for the spring rolls was too salty. The egg roles and the specialty fried rolls were both mediocre; the flavor combination with the vegan fish sauce was also fine but both special. It's possible it was just an off night, but I don't imagine I'll come back to find out.
