Reviews for Green Lotus in San Jose, CA
Love this place - great vegan food ( I eat meat and still enjoy it a lot ) that helps you feel healthier after eating it. ... Portion sizes are generous for the price too. Read more
The fried oyster mushrooms were SO good.
So many choices for vegans! Our food was out quickly, and served hot. Very fresh and flavorful. Inside dining was relaxing with... the music just audible so it was easy to have s conversation. It's relaxing until the sudden and jarring sound of the smoothiemaker. WOW! It would be nice if they moved the machine to the back of the kitchen to minimize the very loud sound. Otherwise,very good food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Read more
Had the Chicken & Mushroom Fried Rice, Thai Tea, and Green Lotus Egg Rolls. They were fantastic! Just wish I was hungrier. All... in all, it came out to just about $20 for a hefty meal with leftovers. Definitely recommend! Read more

Be vegan - peace starts on your plate. Loved the Green lotus! Fresh vibes! Everything is vegan. Delicious and fragrant dishes,... flavorful teas and friendly staff- oh yeah someone taught me how to use chopsticks- that was really kind. I went to this placeas I was craving for pho and I got Vietnamese food and pho both. So, I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered spring rolls,chicken, tofu and mushroom pho (all vegan) and rice dish with chicken and tofu with veggies and last but not the least Thai teaand mango green tea (one of the tastiest tea I tasted, it was so flavorful and refreshing, ideal for summers). They have reallygood portion size. We had to ask for to go boxes as we were so full halfway through. Service was quick and if you are not surewhat to order- you can also ask for recommendations. The ambiance was full of zen vibes! There is a beautiful Buddha painting onone wall. I really enjoyed the whole experience at the Green lotus. I hope you will also enjoy weekend lunch or brunch here.Highly recommended! Read more
This is a sister restaurant to the Green Lotus on Story, although the interior of this location is nicer. They have a similar... meeting of tasty vegan Vietnamese (and a few other Southeast Asian) dishes. On our first visit to this location, we orderedlemongrass chicken and spicy Hue soup. Both were pretty good if a little under salted. We wanted to try the Vietnamese crepe,but they were out. Service was friendly and efficient. Read more
One of the best Vietnamese I?ve ever had, vegetarian or otherwise! We ordered the Spring rolls, kids pho, combo fried rice,... combo porridge and Bun. Every dish was very tastefully flavored with herbs, and nothing was overly salty as I feared from avegetarian cuisine. The rice dishes were a bit on the larger side and our family of two adults and two kids couldn?t finish themall, but now we have a delicious leftover that I?m looking forward to having later on. Five stars! Read more
