"Lotus and Light has been bookmarked for me for a while, but never got the chance to go. When I saw them listed as one of the choices at DineLA, I knew it was my sign to go. Hubby I came for lunch (one of the very few restaurants in our area that has a lunch option during DineLA, so a bigger plus! . First off, the ambiance and interior of the restaurant are absolutely beautiful. The greenery inside just makes you so serene. The waitress who helped us was an absolute sweetheart. For $25/person, you get an appetizer, entree, and dessert. We opted for the chicken and beef street fries since each street fries varied with their sauces and topping. I loved the charcoal flavor from the chicken. The aioli sauce with the green onions was an absolute chef kiss! The beef street fries have shreed beef (I think beef used to cook their beef broth since you can definitely taste the pho broth! This one came with a spicy mayo drizzle. Tasty, but I definitely preferred the chicken one better! The beef just tasted a bit heavy. The appetizers' portions were HUGE! We started getting full of just the two appetizers alone. But we couldn't stop there! Out came our entree, which was the signature oxtail pho (I'm so glad this was a part of the DineLA menu! and lobster fried rice. Both were so delicious! The pho's broth was rich, light, and refreshing. You know you have good pho when you don't need to drench your soup with Sriracha and hoison sauce! The lobster fried rice had a great kick of spice to it. There were also huge chunks of lobster inside! I think this dish alone is valued to 1 DineLA cost. And the entree portions were yet again huge! At this point, we were just tooooo full to go on, but both desserts that we chose had ice cream and couldn't togo it. The taro ice cream was very coconut-y, which isn't my thing. The lotus cake was very buttery and moist. Not too impressed with their desserts, but I can easily overlook that as the food is amazing! Although DineLA is now over, I highly recommend this restaurant. I can't wait to come back and try from their regular menu!"
