Having gone vegan as a Vietnamese took away many of the joys of my favorite viet dishes. However, I once again got to eat meals I've yearned for since I went veg. This would have to be hands down one of the best vegetarian places I've ever had the pleasure of trying.
With vegetarian plates on par with any regular dishes, you'll be delighted to find fresh and delicious meals here. To top it all off, lunch here is a steal and you can eat happily here for around $10. This unassuming little gem tucked away in Chinatown is a diamond in the rough. I wish I could go here everyday and if you have the chance bring all your vegetarian friends here to have their expectations blown away.
The two dishes I tried was the bun thit nuong chay and banh cuon with the vegan meat. The rice roll was exceptionally good and I'll dream again of the day I can have rice rolls again. Saigon Lotus will not disappoint and prepared to be left with the urge to come back here every day.
