Lotus Cafe - Arlington

Oh my heart and stars! By far the best Pho I have ever had here in the DFW area. Service is impeccable, food is ah-freakin-mazing, and the place is so clean. I am a restaurant manager with high standards and expectations, Lotus Cafe is the real deal!

Love them, but they're closed July 1st 4th this week! ?

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz •••• ? WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: not sure but they are in the suburbs of south Arlington and seems to be loved by the community here based off Google Reviews. ? THE VIBE: casual mom pop shop. Pretty spacious. ? PRICE: $30 ? WOULD I COME BACK? No. •••• Overall Rating: 7.5/10 I love trying new Vietnamese places and this was one of them! I believe it was a Vietnamese Chinese type of fusion based off of both of the items being offered. I will say the sesame chicken was pretty juicy but not as spicy as I hoped. It’s off a scale of 3 and I got a 2 but I could’ve gotten a 3 tbh. The flavor was good but the vibrant red color threw me off. It was a pretty good dish overall tho I ate majority of it. I thought my mom’s pho tasted pretty good but it she said it lacked flavor so to each their own. It wasn’t bad at all! I took off most points bc of the ambiance. I didn’t like how the owner kept shouting at this high school employees to do this and that. It made them feel awkward and I could clearly see our server just being super awkward and not himself bc of it. He even told the server to tell us to move from big table to the small table just in case a party of 6+ comes in like I highly doubt that because they were literally about to close lol and there was plenty of open tables. It was just such an awkward experience and I wouldn’t be surprised if these employees quit soon.

Truly a gem! I've finally decided to leave a review (which I KNOW I should've done sooner). I've been a loyal customer since freshman year at MHS! Wonderful Vietnamese comfort food, awesome Boba, and very amicable staff. I love this place

Took a friend here it was his first time having pho and he loved it.
