"i love lotus"   My Rating
16 christophe r byron	Posted on: Monday, November 16, 2009
	Review: lotus is a great place to eat. I would definitely recommend going here. I used to live a few blocks away from lotus so ive spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with the menu. I never really had a bad dish there. I really like the faux fish sandwich. The lunch specials are all great as well. They come with a salad, spring role and an entree. Definitely find some time to come here.   Pros: great food * excellent selection * speedy service Cons: could use better inside decorating * *

"Great Neighborhood Place"   My Rating
7 alyssa	Posted on: Monday, March 30, 2009
	Review: My fiance and I just found out about this place and we've eaten there once together and he brought a carnivore co-worker there within a week. So far we recommend everything we've eaten: "fish" wrap (best with the Asian sauce), red curry with "pork", spicy eggplant with pepper "steak"; and, most of all, the "chicken" and pancakes. The pancakes are gluten-free and made with kalmut flour. They melt in your mouth. Probably the best pancakes I have ever tasted. The fried "chicken" was crispy and juicy without being too greasy. No reason to ever go back to Roscoe's! Super friendly staff; clean, nicely decorated restroom; open late, which makes it even better. Oh, they also sell Gorilla Life juice. Gotta get your greens in after eating your pancakes!   Pros: lot of food choices * great prices * friendly staff Cons: * *

"LOTUS VEGAN Restaurant 5038 Vineland Ave. in NoHo"   My Rating
2 izmi1111	Posted on: Wednesday, March 11, 2009
	Review: FABULOUS. ORGANIC. 100% VEGAN. NO MSG. NO WHITE SUGAR. TASTY!!! My carnivore mom loved the \"pepper steak\" Pad Thai and Tom Kah Kai soup. We went one late night and it looks closed due to tinted windows. I'm glad we went inside and enjoyed good food, good friendly service and they have a variety of other delicious vegan protein \"meats/chick/fish\" besides just tofu. It was inexpensive and they have other non-Thai food like burgers, wraps, breakfast burritos, pancakes and deserts. They take credit cards. Worth the trip. Worth supporting them. www.lotusvegan.com   Pros: Daily specials * Cheap * Good Service Cons: * *

"Owners are the Chefs = best food"   My Rating
304 gr8vegan	Posted on: Tuesday, January 20, 2009
	Review: Lotus's food is fresh and wonderful. Its easy to fall into the mindset of "yet another vegan thai restaurant" in Los Angeles, but Lotus is top notch in execution and friendliness. If you're in the North Hollywood area Lotus is a key weapon in your vegan eating arsenal! Open until 10:30pm! Steamed Dumplings are fantastic!   Pros: friendly * chef's are owner * will customize your dish Cons: * *

"The Truth"   My Rating
11 Island Hopper	Posted on: Wednesday, December 03, 2008
	Review: I have eaten at Lotus Vegan since it first opened. The owner and his family are great people. They are also very friendly, accommodating and always willing to help with recommendations. The menu has many options, the portions are good, food is fresh and every item I've ordered has been good. The place is small but I've never had to wait for a table. You can't go wrong here.   Pros: Staff * Options * Food Quality Cons: * *

"Good Choice among few"   My Rating
2 PiscesCG	Posted on: Thursday, July 17, 2008
	Review: Vegan restaurants are few and far between in LA, especially in the Valley. So it's great to have Lotus Vegan as a choice. They take their job seriously, and I have had very good experiences here. I'm not sure if the chefs change around, as the food is sometimes inconsistent. I've ordered the pancakes and tofu scramble a couple of times. The first time the scramble was greasy and the pancakes were not fully cooked (I had the "tropical" ones w/ bananas and blueberries). Second time (I love my pancakes!), the whole dish was perfect! I've had the same problem with the High Protein Salad (which is a mix of lettuce, garbanzo beans, edamame, tomatoes, avocados w/peanut dressing). First time it was perfection. The next time the edamame had the "almost turning rotten" tang to them. Had the salad tonight, and it was very good, but light on the toppings. The most consistent dish I've had was the See You; it was always perfect. My husband enjoys the lentil loaf, and I've enjoyed the Breakfast Burrito #4, which is a lentil and sweet potato wrap. Overall, you really can't go wrong here. Decor is the usual neighborhood Thai...slightly tacky, but forgiveable. The service is always helpful and friendly.   Pros: Healthy cuisine * Good value * Friendly staff Cons: Some inconsistency * Tacky decor *

"Okay"   My Rating
296 Chia	Posted on: Tuesday, July 15, 2008
	Review: Was here in July 08 with friends for dinner. We opted to sit outside because the inside felt cramped and kinda dark. The ladies working were both Thai and friendly, and service was prompt. We shared an order of fresh spring rolls, a red curry with soy fish, a flat rice noodle dish with tofu, a tom kah kai soup, and the sticky rice with mango dessert. Everything was nicely presented. My friends enjoyed their meal. I thought the food was okay. The dressing that came with the spring rolls was sugary and watery for my liking. The curry was heavy on sugar and salt as well (typical Thai, I guess), and it also tasted thick. The noodles were simple and tasted fine. But I did not like the tom kah kai soup. Although it was salted and seasoned, it tasted flat and boring. Overall, I think this place has potential to become even better, and I hope to see it do well. If I'm in the area again, I will return and try more dishes.   Pros: friendly & prompt service * extensive menu * all vegan Cons: * *

"Nice presentation, food was ok"   My Rating
26 erbavore	Posted on: Sunday, July 13, 2008
	Review: The presentation of the food was almost like a 5 star restaurant. The service was exceptional and friendly. Our waitress, Taya, was actually a vegan. In 100% of my reviews of other Thai restaurants, I've always been irritated by the level of service and non friendliness. To receive this type of service from a Thai restaurant is actually amazing. As for the food itself, the statement at the table was: "they didn't do anything wrong." The fresh spring rolls were a bit flat, yet the red curry was rather tasty. If you are in the area, you can't go wrong by eating here.   Pros: Presentation * Extraordinary Service * Patio Cons: Inside Decour * *
