"We wish we could give Lotus Bistro a higher rating and that it lived up to its hype, but sadly, it doesn?t. We got the Filet Mignon Pho and the Chicken Pho delivered and everything came poorly packaged in styrofoam containers. The noodles and meat were in the same small styrofoam container and bc the filet was completely rare and the bag was opened, the blood had seeped all over on to the noodles and it just looked so unappealing. The filet mignon itself was soft as butter though. The chicken, on the other hand, was totally dry. I like the addition of fried onions for the soup, but really we just had broth and some noodles bc of how dry the chicken was. It was as if it had been made weeks ago and there was no way to save it and no amount of broth could have made it tender. No one wanted to eat it. The noodles were also on the hard side and not the freshest for either pho as well. There are just such better pho places in OC that there would be no reason to ever try this place again."
