A Vietnamese Restaurant Serving House-Made Noodles Is Coming to North Portland | Eater Portland

"Operating inside Hong Phat on SE 82nd, Lotus Kitchen is a gem on a street packed with talent; it serves tasty banh mi topped with everything from roast pork to snail patties, braised catfish with fish sauce and young coconut juice, summer rolls filled with egg and Chinese sausage, and bún layered with grilled meats. After three years the owners wanted to branch out and bring ideas like bánh hỏi heo quay (little woven nests of vermicelli with crispy pork and fish sauce) and a variety of folded steamed buns with different fillings to a new space." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
