Lotus Vietnamese Noodle House - Calgary, Alberta

One of the most authentic broth I’ve had! Large portion, family-establishment with no frill, just good food. Will definitely come back and try everything on the menu.

Ordered delivery a couple of times here. My first order was charbroiled chicken with spring rolls and vermicelli. The fish sauce is so watered down, the chicken was rubbery, but the spring rolls were okay. Second time I ordered I got sate beef with spring rolls on fried rice. The ... description said it was spicy, contains peanuts and sesame, but all those were nowhere to be found. The beef was so chewy it's inedible. The spring rolls smelled a bit off. The fried rice is just colored rice with so much oil. The fish sauce is still watered down. Overall, food is bland and doesn't seem to have good portions compared to the other Vietnamese restaurants in the city. Read more

As someone with extensive experience in the service industry (not a foodie, but an actual service worker), I usually let a lot slide and I'm quite patient, but this wasn't a great spot for my after workout lunch. Food: I had the Satay Pho with extra beef and it was just ... okay: The noodles were overcooked and the broth seemed like it was old. Service: The woman serving me couldn't care less that I was there and didn't check on me once. She dropped off the food without a word and then sat at another table and watched videos on her phone. The younger lady who took my payment was nicer and probably would have made the experience better, had she been serving. Atmosphere: Way too many dirty tables for how busy it was (It was dead) and the bar(?) Was quite messy. The glassware was being handwashed with an old rag, with no sanitizer in sight. Overall, I'm mad at myself for not checking the Google reviews before heading in, so that's my fault, but I can't recommend this restaurant. Read more

The food had excellent taste and staff were attentive, my family enjoyed it. The ambience was not really up to date though but I think people are more concerned about the food than the ambience, nevertheless, they could use a little update😁

I like the old building where this Resto is located and finally able to try their food. Beef Pho noodles were okay. I find the servings a bit small for their price. Charbroiled pork vermicelli bowl seems okay but the pork cut was a little thin for my liking. Their ... spring roll was good though. Had a miscommunication with the staff and forgot to gave me my other order, had to go back and retrieve it :( Read more
