Pho Lotus

Great food, friendly service, huge portions, and very reasonable prices. A hidden gem in San Juan Capistrano.

Delicious broth, great service, good atmosphere

I’m late on the review here, and shame on me for doing so. I come here all the time! (I loves my soup) Everyone here is nice, and the food is delicious. We should keep small gems like this alive. I have never been disappointed.

It's under new management and ownership for a few months now. I actually liked the food more now. Having a Vietnamese restaurant in the middle of San Juan Capistrano is difficult. They have to cater to their customer base, which is different than if they were in a more Vietnamese populated area. And that's one the previous owners did. The new one feels closer to the ones I would find in Little Saigon, but not completely. But when you're this far out from there, this is a pretty good compromise.

good broth, nice size bowls and generous on meat and other add cons. Some PHO places put a lot of noodles in the bowl and save on meat, chicken, etc.
This one displayed great servings. Plus as a touch of consideration as a thank you one gets a plate of water melon. Nice touch! A true small family business. Interesting was that China was offered as well.
