Great vegetarian / Buddhist influenced Vietnamese restaurant. They have all the staples plus some house specialties. Very relaxing environment.
We've been here twice already and our favorite dishes are the lotus root salad and the special braised combo veggie meat clay pot. Staff are friendly and we'll definitely be coming back whenever we crave vegetarian food.
Best spot on Alki, I love the Oahu plum and mango drink. The honey walnut prawns and the best in state. Hoa had the best suggestions.

Seattle Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant is a place that might not catch one's attention from the outside, but the interior is beautiful and the staff is attentive. The restaurant offers a wide selection of vegetarian dishes with rich flavors, and even non-vegetarians might not notice the absence of meat. The server is kind, friendly, and accommodating to dietary restrictions, making it a great place for vegans. The menu is very extensive, with delicious flavors and plentiful portions at reasonable prices.
However, the spiciness level might be milder than expected, and parking is limited. The restaurant is located in a neighborhood that might seem sketchy to some, but it is not something they can control. One reviewer mentioned the grilled lemongrass "pork" in the special vermicelli bowl (#23 on the menu), describing it as the most realistic vegetarian meat they had experienced in a long time. The dish had a satisfying combination of fish sauce, peanuts, and various veggies. Another popular item is the wrapped fried egg rolls (#5 on the menu), which provided a delightful contrast of textures and were noted as a rare find in Seattle.
Despite some mixed experiences, including a disappointing Bun Hue soup that was too sweet, the overall feedback highlights that many customers, including meat-eaters, really love the restaurant. It is a place where people can enjoy flavorful meals, and there is an option for dishes that include egg, catering to those who may not follow strict vegan diets. Overall, Seattle Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant comes highly recommended for its tasty food and welcoming atmosphere.
