Lotus Restaurant

The staff were friendly and the food was nicely presented and tasted great. I ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls along with the D1 rice vermicelli noodle combo. The spring rolls were tightly wrapped and paired with a flavorful sauce. Each component of the noodle combo was good on its own, but personally, I’m not a fan of noodles mixed with sauce—I usually prefer soup noodles. I’ll definitely come back to try something different next time!

First time going to this Pho spot and my wife and I both ordered their seafood combo pho and 2 spring rolls. The pho and spring rolls were so freaking good! We waited about 10 minutes for the food which is great. The Chile oil and sauces were so good too. We will come mire often for sure.

This was amazing! My husband and I ordered Pho soups and for appetizers we ordered eggs rolls. Place was clean, customer service was excellent!! Would recommend this place 100%.

This place continues to be one of my favorite restaurants period. The service is warm, welcoming and always very quick. The food is phenomenal and seems like it’s finally getting some of the love it deserves. The yellow curry is my absolute favorite but don’t skip the pho either. Anything off the menu is going to be a great meal and will be consistent whenever you order. I’ve been coming here for quite a few years now & will continue to be back as long as I can. Honestly order an extra meal to take home for later because you’ll be craving this food once you leave. One of the nicest, hidden gems in San Bernardino.

The food is well worth the trip, nice place for the area. I suggest bring ur family or someone you care about, definitely worth the price affordable and a good proportion.

Really good food and great prices

In spite of being in San Bernardino on Highland, the parking lot was clean😃 the restaurant dining area was clean and tidy. The host was a very kind older gentleman who was very attentive 🤩 I had beef Phô with egg rolls my son got chicken Phô with Spring Rolls. We both agreed that the food was better than delicious 😋 the server and the host were both patient, attentive and kind. I will be back.

Love this place! They have amazing house fried rice, the best steamed fish with ginger, green onions and this sweet sauce. their pho is pretty good too..their broth is "real" tasting. they also had good spring rolls. their calamari wasnt that great. they are open on holidays, too. they used to give watermelon slices after the meal but I think they are cutting costs which is a shame because their watermelon was always so GOOD...last time we got fortune cookies and my boyfriend made a comment about it..our waitress was very sweet and asked if she could ask the kitchen about giving us oranges or something instead...which they did give us...but I hate it when restaurants cut back on treats like that. It gave them a leg up on the competition. Their services is pretty good too. They are attentive and brisk. for what you get the prices are great. this place is good all around.

Friendly and fast service,, cute little spot. Food was delicious. First time trying this spot.

Excellent Pho and shrimp spring rolls. The prices are very reasonable compared to what I'm used to paying in Redlands. I will definitely be back to visit again.

I have had lotus Restaurant on my list for years. Lol we finally made it here today Jan 15th 2025. Employees/staff/owners are very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Inside has a lot of tables. Upon walking in it's a seat yourself where you want and menu's are on the tables. We opted for 2 pho combination large bowls $ 11.50 each. Brisket, flank, steak, fatty flank, tripe, tendon, and meatballs. Decent size with an abundance of meat. Broth is clean just wished it had more of a star anise than beef but it was still yummy. Meats were tender and tasty especially the meatballs which are yummy unlike most pho spots the meatballs are not tasty. (Too chewy) but not here the meatballs are tender. We also ordered a beef banh mi but they gave us chicken but it's the same price $5.50 so no big deal. The banh mi was ok not my favorite but still decent especially for the price. Overall a good spot to grab some grub and friendly service!

the best of the best pho cheap! and affordable! The very best Pho ! They dont take apple pay! just card and cash!

My favorite spot in San Bernardino for Pho! I've been coming here for years and the service is excellent and the food is amazing, very authentic. The staff is so friendly and prices are affordable.

So I love this quaint cafe. We entered into another world from San Bernardino. My husband had the Vietnamese coffee and he said it was delish. We just had some appetizers as we needed to just grab a snack. The egg rolls were served with a tasty sauce. They were the perfect kind of crispy. I like the tempura shrimp too. We had the desert snack of friend bananas! All of it was served with a happy smile from the owner. We will be back to try the pho!

Very good food homemade noodles you can add chicken or beef. Nice display of fruits and pastries for dessert. Great service.

Food was not good, no flavor! Ordered 6pc chicken wings and only got 5! Egg rolls were very small, sweet & sour chicken not good, house fried rice also, all servings very small, will not go there again!

The service was great and so was the food. It's close enough to the court house for lunch breaks.

the food was delicious and the taste was to die for the service was very good and we felt at home the ambiance is very much cultural and lots of space to enjoy

Be careful with your bill. They overcharged me. Then tried to claim they charged me extra because I asked for an extra (empty) bowl and a plastic spoon to feed my kid. You charge $10 for using a bowl and spoon?! It's not like I ordered extra food in it. Pretty ridiculous and I'm pretty sure they incorrectly charge others given they try to avoid giving you an itemized bill. Decent food. I'll intentions.

I love love love this place. Everytime I'm sick I come here and feel so much better! The broth is SO clean and comforting. The service is fast and professional, I love the old man who takes the orders, he has Such a sweet soul. Overall the surroundings are comfortable and friendly.

After a long day of snowboarding in Big Bear, we wanted some soup and this was the closest Vietnamese restaurant in the area. It's a pretty busy intersection but it has a small parking lot so you should be OK. We got there around 5:30 and the restaurant was empty, but it felt very homey. The owner and all the staff were very friendly and it felt like I was speaking to my family. They didn't have the Nem Nuong but we ordered the shrimp version instead and it was actually pretty solid! I like the additions of bean sprouts for the crunch. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and the broth was great. It wasn't the traditional BBH broth with the pork blood, pork feet (which I don't like anyway) and meatball. I think they were catering to the demographics of the area. Plus I was hungry so it was soothing to my soul. My gf and two other friends got the Pho. The broth was really good. I honestly wouldn't mind coming back here more often if I'm in the area. It was only $58 for the 4 of us and hot tea. Food was super cheap (maybe because I always think of OC or LA prices) and service was super fast. Thank you Lotus!

Best Pho and service in all off San Bernardino. An absolute gem! Middle of heat wave or bitter cold winters this place always hits the spot. Place is owned and operated by the sweetest family. Always super friendly and hospitable.

Quaint & unassuming restaurant with some amazingly authentic gems. Not to mention the price is very reasonable for these times. We ordered the pho with various meats and the crispy egg rolls; both items had great flavor and freshly made texture. This place stands a head above the fast food in the region for the same (or lower) price. The owner and chef are very accommodating and friendly as well. If you're in the area for the Glen Helen festivals like we were, highly recommend this place.

Pho is amazing! Love this spot. Have gone multiple times. Service is great! Very fast.

Yummy food for a good price and fast service. The workers were very kind. I would come back again!

Best Vietnamese food in the area!!! This is the SPOT for a delicious, fresh and filling meal. Don't skip out on the egg rolls and garlic chicken wings for appetizers, they are so good!!! I ended up getting the special vermicelli bowl (dac biet bun) which was so yummy and fresh!! It comes with egg rolls, grilled chicken and grilled pork. The portion and prices are also super good value. Highly recommend if you are looking for a tasty and fresh dish. Some of my friends also got the pho and it was piping hot and delicious as well. You can't go wrong here with anything you order. Service is also quick, friendly and fast. The owners are super sweet and kind to their customers!! I'll definitely be coming back for more.

Service was average for us but it could very well be due to a big language barrier. Food was good. Iced coffee was good, too, but overpriced for the amount of beverage you actually get compared to the ice. It's mostly ice. Their menu looks really promising, lots of pictures, with lots of variety. We had the wonton soup, shrimp noodle soup, sugar cane shrimp paste rolls, and grilled pork banh mi. The sandwich was served on a crusty French roll rather than a baguette, and I believe it was $5.50, which seems fair. It's in a bad part of San Bernardino (Baseline), but it is nice and peaceful inside with lots of seating. Our total was $48 for the food and 2 iced coffees.

I love to order from this spot especially to take home. It's a hole in the wall with some of the nicest people that work there. They have good quality food and the prices compared to other places are great. I love to get the lotus special but tried the soups and they are great too. I definitely recommend this spot if you're looking to save some money and get some good food in return as well.

Probably one of the best Pho restaurants I have been to in quite a while. It's definitely something to try. They also offer a variety of Vietnamese items like sandwiches and noodle plates. Parking can be a challenge if it's busy as they don't have a very large parking lot. Nice owners and very attentive to anything you may need. Food came out fast AND hot. It was just so delicious. It's definitely a mom and pop type of restaurant where they treat you like they know you. Highly recommend this place!!

The food is soooo good and the prices are very fair. This place also has many vegan and vegetarian options as well. Great service and the staff is always genuinely kind.

What is a perfect remedy on a Sunday morning?? Well let me tell you, with a bowl of Lotus pho and a Vietnamese chicken sandwich, you are guaranteed to feel rejuvenated and ready to conquer to world in no time. Despite the location being in a little austere area, the food is great and the owner is oh so kind! If you are ever in the area I encourage you to stop on by (:

This is a little idden gen way out in the boonies, but its so worth going in! Their PHO is so well balanced in flavors! We ordered the rare and cooked beef one and a bahn mi grilled chicken sandwich. Everything is made to order and taste delicious.

This place is such a great place to have lunch, the service is always quick and they are very attentive. The food is always amazing and the pricing is very reasonable. Definitely a little hidden gem to go to during the daytime. I say daytime because this is in downtown San Bernardino so you never know in SB. :)

Food was good, I didn't go in but I ordered. I typically go to Fontana for pho but this was the only near by place when I was sick and it was delicious! Will be going here more often

Great spot, best Vietnamese food ive come across. Good service and you can order ahead if you want. Always in pretty clean condition too only time ive seen different is when its packed on the weekends

This is the best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to in North America. I've been to hundreds of places in Canada and in the United States, this one is the best. Crazy cheap prices and all the food is amazing. The only bad part is location as it's nestled in a very sketch area almost as bad as south central. Regardless, it's worth the risk of being robbed and murdered.

Pick up is always good and the owner is always so kind. Food is always hot and very reasonable!

I ordered the filet minion, lotus fish, papaya salad, and tofu from here. My favorite out of the 4 things I ordered was the papaya salad because I feel like it was the most flavorful. The others were just ok. On the plus side, they gave a lot of rice. Just wanted to say that their customer service is really good and I liked that they took care of me. They even helped carry the food out to my car for me. I am not used to being around this area so it kind of scared me at first because I saw a homeless man staggering with a wife beater and what looked like drips of blood on his wife beater. Overall I'm thankful they cared enough about one of their customers to help me carry out the food to my car.

Easter Sunday and we came to have lunch! So delicious !! 10/10 recommend. Garlic noodles with chicken was my favorite (C1)

Order take out Ordered Pho Chicken was delicious i was getting over a sickness and when I ate this I was feeling like my old self again my god this soup took away everything I had Seriously!! I cant wait to order again See you soon Lotus, Baseline, San Bernardino!!! Happy New Year 2024!!!

Great food and service! Incredible prices. The owner is funny. He likes to joke with his customers.

Best pho, best service. Fav place in SB hands down. Such an authentic vibe. Highly recommend!

Decent Vietnamese food. Owners very nice and helpful. I will be back! Definitely recommend for lunch or dinner...

Honestly I expected more from a 4.5 Yelp rating. Don't get me wrong the dish I ate was good just not 4.5 good. It was a combo Bun dish. I also ordered a small bowl of Pho broth which was descent but barely warm. I ordered 2 Bah mi sandwiches chicken and grilled pork to go. The sandwich meat on both was quite skimpy and not great quality. The location is not for the squeamish but man up if you want 3 star Vietnamese kwizeen . Side note our server an elderly man was super efficient and friendly.

Really good Vietnamese's food! I feel like the best Vietnamese restaurants are in sketchy neighborhoods, so I guess I kinda felt good about that pulling up! Friendly fast service! Pho broth was good, a little salty but with the condiments and lime it was great. I got the rare steak, and it was shaved paper thin and I loved the texture dipped in some hoisin. Vietnamese coffee was really good, like my mom used to get in Oakland. Ordered the egg rolls and I wish they came with lettuce and the traditional compliments, these came with a decent sweet and sour sauce. Overall glad I stopped on my long trip drive through the mountains.

Came here on our way back off the mountain after snowboarding. The location seemed a bit sketchy but this place is good! It seems to be a family owned business and they work hard to provide good food and good service. Most of us had the big bowl of pho with everything. The broth was tasty and there was plenty of meat and condiments. The owner was super friendly and I let him know we will be back after our next trip to go boarding.

It's our first time to be here. Food is good, service is great and the ambiance is chill. You can't go wrong in Thai spot.

I had been meaning to go back here since my last review because that's how good the food is! I no longer live in the area, so it's a bit inconvenient, but it's 100% worth the drive. PSA: please don't go here if you're scared of San Bernardino!!! Don't need people docking this restaurant points bc of the area it's in, it's not deserved (The best food is from the hood tbh). I went here for LNY (Tê't) because I wanted my family to try authentic Vietnamese food for the first time, which they LOVED. The food was so refreshing and filling even with my ~30 min drive back home after I picked up my order. I even was able to have a second helping the next day bc the portion sizes and reheat value shows the quality of the food, I mean come on, I was able to reheat my oysters a whole day after and the flavor didn't diminish or upset my stomach! It's incredible! I didn't get a picture of the 3 lemon sodas and BBQ pork soup, but everything showed/talked about was $104 w/out tip and worth every penny.

Amazing chicken pho! You will not be disappointed!!! The herbs and everything about it smells amazing

Awful food! Their version of Kung Pao chicken was chicken and broccoli! What a joke!

Everything was delicious and service was great. There's a banana dessert that was very tasty.

Pho = is so good here. It tastes like -homemade-recipe been in the family for years-so they know what they're doing- type of pho. Grilled pork spring roll = also very good. Warm, simple but flavorful. Everyone who works here is so nice. I always feel like I'm visiting a friend's house. Can't wait to try the other items on the menu.

Great food and a genuine hole in the wall find for San Bernardino. Have never left here disappointed. Staff is friendly and helpful and seating is open considering it's a small place. Stop on By!!

BEST PHO IN SAN BERNARDINO! A must try!!!! Great pricing and customer service! Best time to go is at anytime since they are pretty quick!

I really HATE to give a restaurant a bad review but this place was awful. I first ordered iced tea, and it was so weak, I just decided to drink water instead. My friend and I then ordered spring rolls, figuring that they would be the first thing brought out. Not so, they were actually the last thing we ate during our meal, there. Secondly, the waiter, an older gentleman had about six VERY long stray hairs hanging from his chin, it was disgusting to be quite honest with you. Almost like a ZZ Top beard, yet with only four to six long stray hairs. Finally, I wasn't really in the mood for Pho, and my friend suggested the place, so I ordered Kung Pao Chicken instead. When I got my order, it was basically sweet chicken and broccoli, NOT Kung Pao chicken. I even pointed to the photo of the Kung Pao chicken on their menu, and the waiter told me that lots of restaurants have different versions of Kung Pao chicken. NOT TRUE !! Kung Pao chicken should have a spicy taste to it and the hot peppers included in the dish. I even googled "Kung Pao" chicken and showed him more photos of various Kung Pao chicken dinners. He would not believe me. Sorry to be such a negative review, but it was absolutely horrible. The ONLY thing that was good about the meal was when it was over.

Hole in the wall restaurant is an absolute gem. Delicious and cheap. Definitely come check this out. Don't let the surroundings deter you from this bomb pho!

This spot is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area! This business is ran by a humble Vietnamese couple that treats all their guests like family. I would recommend this spot for shaken beef, pho, and chicken wings. The shaken beef is typically served on a sizzling plate if eaten at the restaurant which calls for an exciting experience. The pho definitely hits the spot no matter what time of day. Lastly, the chicken wings are to die for. They are crunchy and savory and make you want to come back for more. If you are in the area, definitely come to this spot!
