Lotus Cafe

Lotus Cafe in Silver Spring, MD is our favorite pho place in the area. When we have pho cravings this is where we want to come. During our first visit here we got the veggie pho, tofu summer rolls, and black pepper gluten hot pot Everything was delicious. The summer rolls were fresh, crispy, and had basil in them. The black pepper gluten hot pot was extremely flavorful, had great consistency, and came out piping hot. I like the way gluten picks up flavor much more than tofu. And….the pho. Finally, a broth that was not bland, boring, or clear. The broth had a great taste and was packed with noodles, tofu, veggies and came with a heaping mound of bean sprouts, sliced jalapenos, lime wedges, and sprigs of basil. Don’t forget to add hoisin and sriracha to your liking! We will definitely be coming here again….and again…and again. They have a whole vegetarian section on the menu to choose from!
