Won’t come back

I was a bit disappointed by this one as I had high hopes. Vibe was mellow and cheap, everything was a bit sticky. Tons of choice and sweet waitress. But vegan sushi were not good and had a strange mayonnaise type sauce with them, and the vermicelli didn’t have their distinctive tasting sauce and tasted bland (in all fairness, my husband loved his Pho though). I was really hungry after a long day and therefore ate what I got, but it felt hard to digest, I felt unreasonably full and couldn’t get to sleep well. Won’t return.

Pros: Service attentive and kind, Little shop with vegan Asian products, Tons of choice

Cons: Food didn’t taste that great, Combination of flavors felt off, Fake meat didn’t feel high quality

Top Notch Vegan Fare

My appetizer choice was the Potato /Kale Soup. It was savory and delicious. My entrée was the Crisp Cauliflower & Rice (I chose brown rice) that also was extremely satisfying.

Lastly, the Root Juice -- a combination of veggie juices like beet and celery -- was fantastic -- and obviously healthy!

Service was very friendly and quick.

So many options

I love how close in proximity this place is to me and there is so many things to choose from on the menu. I went here with my…not so vegan partner and even they enjoyed it. A big plus is that the portions are big so I had some food for my work lunch.

We really loved this place! But the carrot cake was inedible and the smoothie wasn’t the best.

Homemade tofu!!

They had delicious options! All of their dishes were delicious. We’re definitely coming back because there is too many things to try in one visit. I have a peanut allergy too so they were very informative about that. Their homemade tofu was delicious and a great texture too.

One of the best restaurants you’ll ever go to

Lotus has been around a long time and has an expansive delicious menu, from staple Asian dishes to pizza to comfort food, and they excel in each division. This is my favorite comfort food spot and I have very fond memories here. My family and I have been coming here for years and we are so grateful for them. The staff is very sweet and helpful. Don’t sleep on their pizza, it has actual proper toppings and even comes with a side of parm side salads. There’s a small market with fun items, as well. Go check them out!!

Pros: Asian dishes, The pizza is amazing!!!!, We love the people

Cons: Not a single con

Worth the drive.

Lotus has a big menu with something for everyone. They have a section for raw yet they have asian dishes, pizza, american appetizers etc. They have a dessert menu that also includes raw. They have a case of some to go items and have a small market of things for sale. They have a lot of cold press juice, teas and smoothies to choose from. I appreciate places that are exclusively vegan and not just vegan comfort food. personally, I would skip the mango salad. It's iceberg lettuce ( boring) and big chunks of raw white onion ( unappealing) The price seemed high for what it is.

Pros: It's all vegan, Varied menu, Plenty of seating

Cons: Some things are a little expensive for the portion

Food has changed

I haven’t been here in a long time. I remember the wonton soup being AMAZING. this time the wonton had paste not meat and lack flavor. I picked what I wanted to eat based on photos from happy cow so I ordered the ribs plate and then what I got looked very different. Don’t go off of the old photos! The bbq ribs are super greasy I would get something else. The loving strips looked good. I wish they would remove all of the old photos.

SO MANY OPTIONS

We were so glad we found this place while visiting St. Petersburg!! They have a MASSIVE vegan menu; anyone is sure to find something that they like, as they cover a variety of cuisines.
Fried shrimp and cheese sticks hit our junk food craving just right. I was impressed with the texture of both. The Vietnamese Crab Tapioca Noodle Soup was AMAZING. It had tons of good veggies and vegan seafood, as well as your typical pho toppings. It was incredibly filling and had the right amount of heat (I like spicy food). My boyfriend ordered a more traditional Thai dish, which he said was also very good. Got some carrot and chocolate cakes to go! The cake was more dense than fluffy, but still tasty! We were only in town for a short time, but if we ever visit the area again, we will certainly return for more!
They also had some packaged food, merchandise, and frozen "meat" options for sale.
Overall, our taste buds and stomachs were very satisfied!

Pros: Very large menu, Incredible flavors, Helpful staff

I wish I had a better experience

I don't know what to feel about my visit.
Maybe I chose the wrong food for an Asian inspired restaurant.
As an appetizer my choice fell on a wantan soup. The soup was okay and wantans weren't great either.
As a main it was a plate of Mac and cheese, because I really wanted to try a vegan version. But somehow it wasn't great, especially because it is kind of easy to do vegan. Also the plate was small for the price.

I really wish, I could give more stars and think, for a lot of costumers it's a good experience, but I won't take another visit

Pros: Friendly staff, Everything vegan, Different options

Cons: Bland

Delicious comfort food!

The menu is huge so there’s something for everyone. I ordered the burger, wings, mozzarella sticks and carrot cake. The burger was one of the best I’ve had! It was perfectly cooked, delicious sauces and great bun! The mozzarella sticks were a close second. The wings were good but wish it came with bbq or buffalo sauce. I would pass on the carrot cake. Overall very good and I can’t wait to go back.

Pros: Burgers! , Mozzarella sticks

Cons: Their hours aren’t ideal

Delicious!

There were so many options I had a hard time deciding what to order. I ended up ordering No. 63, the Mixed Vegetable Delight with tofu in a delicious ginger/garlic /hoisin type sauce. While waiting on my take out, I perused some of the delicious vegan offerings for sale. I went home with a package of vegan mock duck, a caramel flan and photos of other packaged vegan ingredients (mock meats and seafood) so that I know what to buy on the occasion that I want to prepare a vegan mock meat or seafood dish. I can confirm that they carry mock poultry, pork, crab, shrimp and duck! My Mixed Vegetable Delight was absolutely great! Delicious food when you're in the area!!

Pros: Number of options offered , High quality ingredients and flavours, Reasonable pricing

Decent option

It was nice having a solid vegan option close by before heading out of town. This place reminds me of a Loving Hut franchise. Decent quality and flavor but nothing to get too excited about. We had the pan fried noodles and portobello wrap. Both were good.
Service was wonderful.
The place could use a nice deep clean. The tables have that permanent stickiness to them, you know what I mean. They have some books at the front counter when I picked one up to look at it the one below stuck to it and I had to peel them apart.
I’d try some of the other places around before returning here.

Pros: Plenty of choices

Cons: Maybe too many choices

Flavorful food!

Had fresh basil rolls, bahn mi, meatball soup, and iced Thai tea with boba. Loved the bahn mi - bread was crusty and fresh and the “beef” tender. Soup broth was so rich and the tofu savory.

Great food! Friendly staff!

We visited on 1/22/2024 and tried their Fresh Basil Rolls (6B), the Portobello Noodles (44), and the Pan Fried Rice Noodles (48). We loved all of them. The menu is HUGE so it’s really hard to decide. We wanted to try to stop back there again during our trip but we ran out of time.

Pros: Great food, Friendly staff, Huge menu

worst vegan food in florida

I really wanted to love this place, but it was horrible. We ordered three items off the menu and we all were sick when we left. The menu is huge and the server was sweet but the food was really awful. We ordered the fried mozzarella sticks, and those were ok but made us feel really sick immediately. Then we ordered the macaroni and cheese with bacon on top and it was so bad we had to leave the whole meal. We also ordered the steak sandwich (bahn mi) and took one bite and could not eat it. I have never had vegan food this bad in my life. I feel really bad writing a bad review but we were on vacation and had one shot to eat in the area that day and we chose poorly. If you live there go ahead and try it but if you were just traveling through and trying to decide, I would opt for it literally any place other than this one.

Pros: vegan, nice server, parking

Cons: horrible food, made us sick, out of the way

Wowe

I brought my mom here for her birthday. The food was absolutely incredible. We ordered traditional style (ordered a bunch of different things and shared it on the little plates). My favorite was the royal noodle soup (bun hue) and the eggplant tofu, close runners up were the pad Thai and the fried noodles (which unlike my expectation are actually pan fried noodles into a pancake and then cut into triangles). Everything was delicious, the service just the right amount of attentive and the pothos growing along the walls makes for a tropical feel. Next time I’m back in FL, I’ll be begging to come here again!

Pros: So many options , Delicious
