Lotus Leaf
Lotus Leaf is a laid-back Vietnamese restaurant and pho specialist known for housemade pho noodles that are thicker than usual and well-liked by patrons. The venue features a large separate vegetarian menu with around 25 entirely vegan dishes, including popular items like basil eggplant tofu, vegan banh mi, and Buddha rolls. Parking is ample with a dedicated lot, and the service is generally friendly, although there are some concerns about occasional mix-ups with vegan orders.
