Wanting a quick bite before getting rush seats at Theatre Calgary I thought I'd give Lotus a try. There was no customers in the store and when I entered the lady at the counter looked up and gave me a questioning look, I signalled one and she nodded. With that kind of greeting I couldn't help but feel that I was more of an inconvenience than a welcome break to the emptiness of her restaurant. Service was curt and efficient, I waited about 10 minutes for food. I ended up ordering the appetizer platter as I thought that was a good way to taste test. It consisted of salad rolls, spring rolls and deep fried shrimp wrapped in wonton wrapper. The spring rolls were good and the salad rolls ok, the sauce for all was sweet. For the kind of fair and pricing I'd go somewhere else if you have a craving for Vietnamese. It wasn't stellar in any way. Spring rolls and salad rolls are around the $8 range so steeper than most other places.
