The veggiecado is one of Chicagoland's finest vegan sandwiches. I highly recommend their Maxwell street location.

Ibwas craving Pho. From a Google search I decided to try Lotus Banh Mi, since I was not far from the location. In this area of town you have the option of paid street parking or paid garage parking. This restaurant is bright, clean and quaint. The service was friendly and great. You order at the counter and pickup when your order is ready. My friend and I dined in for the whole experience. I love ginger, but have never had ginger flavored Pho before. Lotus Banh Mi's Pho options are different from any Vietnamese Pho restaurant I have ever dined in or dined from, across the country. Curious about the taste of their Ginger Chicken Pho, I decided to try it. Let me tell you it was quite delicious! This dish has the perfect balance of ginger flavor, as it was not over powering.

We came here right at opening and the doors were still locked and the open sign was still off. The lady that opened the door was very welcoming. She unlocked the door and then walked away. Usually you open the door and say good morning or something. And then we approach the counter and we place the order ourselves on the screen. Literally zero interaction with an employee so far. We ordered their Honey Grilled Pork and their Sunny-Side Beef Bánh mi as well as an order of their six piece Soy Glazed Wings. The food is where they win me over. Screw all that unnecessary interaction that I was hoping for before. Don't need it. Just keep making these delicious Banh Mi. Especially the sunny side Banh mi. It came with a sunny side egg, grilled onions, beef, five spice house mayo, carrots, cucumbers, and cilantro. A very delicious sandwich and would definitely order it again. Both the wings and the pork Banh Mi were good as well. Will definitely be returning.

The food was amazing. From the pho to the wings. To the beef noodle salad. I never write reviews But this was worth it. Check Lotus out !!!

Smells amazing upon walking in and it's also very clean and fast service as well! If you like Vietnamese food, PHO specifically, this may be your place to try! Their bowls are great! Highly recommend.

100% chance I'd recommend this place. Not only did this place remind me how good Bahn Mi sandwiches could be, but this was possibly the best one I've ever had. We came here on a whim after running errands during the weekend (and being influenced by the good reviews on Yelp). My husband and I loved our sandwiches - they were flavorful, light and fresh. The wings were just as good, though they can be considered to have too much sauce. All in all, this place is a staple in our dining out rotation.

I took my mom here... we're Vietnamese and thought the food was good! We haven't been making much Vietnamese food at home and were craving some. Lotus Banh Mi is nearby and there is parking in the adjacent parking structure for only $3 for the first hour or two. Nice and easy! We had the belly classic banh mi and pork house noodle salad. The banh mi bread was nice and soft and the overall flavors were good, but there wasn't much meat or pate. The noodle bowl was also good and seemed fresh. I thought the fish sauce could be a little more fishy, but my mom thought it was good enough and satisfied her craving. I preferred the banh mi over the bowl, but my mom enjoyed both. We finished our whole meal. We weren't stuffed, but were satiated. We definitely plan to come back. It was a fun and easy outing and the food was good enough!

Finally found a good pho spot near us. This is going to be in our rotation. Got the chicken pho. It has seasoned and grilled chicken thighs. So much flavor. The broth is rich and delicious. Noodles were a bit different than others I've had. They had a little more bite to them and were slightly thicker, I think? Really good. We also randomly got the chicken wings and whoa! These were insanely good. The sweet chilli sauce is out of this world. They were fried nicely and kept their crisp, even though we got takeout. Staff was super nice and the order was ready pretty quick. Everything packaged really well for takeout.
