Green Lotus Restaurant

Vegetarian Pho

A clean, deeply savory broth with star anise and charred ginger backbone, served with rice noodles and your choice of mock protein — the seitan holds up better than expected under the heat

Fresh Spring Rolls (Goi Cuon)

Translucent rice paper rolls packed with crisp vegetables, herbs, and tofu, served with a rich hoisin-peanut dipping sauce

Fried Spring Rolls (Cha Gio)

Golden, shatteringly crisp wrappers filled with seasoned vegetables and taro, served with lettuce wraps and a light dipping sauce

Lemongrass Mock Meat Stir-Fry

Fragrant with fresh lemongrass and chilies, the mock protein takes on the char and seasoning well — one of the kitchen's strongest savory preparations

Broken Rice Plate (Com Tam Chay)

Plated over cracked jasmine rice with pickled vegetables, a light clear broth on the side, and two or three mock-protein toppings — a well-balanced lunch value

Vermicelli Noodle Bowl (Bun Chay)

Cold rice vermicelli over a bed of fresh herbs and shredded lettuce, topped with mock grilled protein and crushed peanuts, finished tableside with nuoc cham chay

Mock Seafood Dishes

The kitchen offers several preparations using plant-based seafood analogues — hit-or-miss depending on the preparation, but the calamari-style versions tend to get the texture closest to right
