This food has FLAVOR! by InesInCary on 9/14/2011 via Citysearch
Had my first meal there this week at lunch time, ordered a sweet & sour chicken dish. I was surprised by how good the food was. Also, their presentation of the food, friendliness and the cleanliness of the place does not lack of anything.…

pho is too pricey compared to others by tennisdad on 8/7/2011 via Citysearch
pho 9 n 9 sells extra large pho for $7.50 vs. $10.95 at lotus leaf cafe. Not saying lotus is bad or anything, just want to let some of my fellow pho lovers that there is a choice if price is your concern especially in these economy.

Always a pleasant surprise by BillDono on 12/2/2009 via Citysearch
This place seems to get better and better over time. Both the appetizers and the entrees are always very fresh and very good. The cilantro and other vegetables are fresh and well prepared. The noodle dishes are my favorite. The waitress…

Lotus Leaf Cafe by Shreyas N on 7/13/2009 via Insider Pages
One of the finest restaurant's I have had food at. If you are are a weenie for the Asian spice, I would recommend not (or choose a spice level of 2). Must go place!

Lotus Leaf Cafe YUCK!! by michelle s on 6/14/2009 via Insider Pages

very good by M. W on 8/25/2008 via Insider Pages
I was unsure about this place, having heard from some friends that they didn't enjoy it and food was loaded with MSG. I have an allergy to MSG and I found no hint of MSG in my steamed grouper.

A multitude of choices by BBurnitt on 6/26/2008 via Citysearch
Every time we have gone to the Lotus Leaf (more than half a dozen) we have been impressed. The servers are attentive and knowledgable (low turn over: we have had one of two servers everytime we have been in the last two years). The owner…

Good Food, Good Service, Extensive Vegetarian Menu by Kintreath on 4/19/2008 via Citysearch
I was unsure about this place, having read some of the prior reviews, especially regarding MSG. I found no hint of MSG in my steamed grouper and my wife found none in her excellent vegetarian duck (it's actually tofu, but you wouldn't…

horrible service, processed food by jtoddtu on 4/18/2008 via Citysearch
There is definitely nothing to rave about here. Everything from the service to the food was horrible. My husband and I were there for an early dinner. The waiter was not attentive or friendly. The thai chili sauce they used was the exact…

Excellent Vietnamese Food by rsmith27 on 1/4/2008 via Citysearch
My fiancee and I have been going to the Lotus Leaf regularly for over a year (nearly once a week) and she long before that. The food is always good. Some of my favorites are the basil duck salad and the shrimp and scallops over rice…

Charming Little Restaurant by Missing N on 11/10/2007 via Insider Pages
A great little restaurant in Cary that serves Vietnamese and a little French food. Charming decor and art collection reminiscent of the colonial era. The food we had was excellent. Nice wine list. Definitely try the french-influenced…

Separate Vegetarian menu section. My favorite dish is Vegetarian Vermicelli. I also like the Fresh Summer Rolls appetizer. Live music sometimes. Great date spot. I met my future husband there on our first date!\r

Pho, French Food and More by lotuschef on 8/20/2007 via Citysearch
We would like to say thanks to everyone who wrote an honest review, good or bad. For those who are truly interested to know about our Pho, here is the secret: it is cooked in the Northern style, "Pho Bac" (the only in the area). It is well…

Nothing to rave about by aims68 on 6/27/2007 via Citysearch
The Lotus Leaf really need to work on their foods and service if they want to stay in business. The restaurant is small, cleanliness alone would be a reason not to come back, and it is located in a strip mall pretty much next door to a…

Nothing Is Perfect by retired79 on 6/20/2007 via Citysearch
I've seen many mixed reviews about the Lotus Leaf Cafe. People go on and on about how they loved the place or how they hated it. Before you write a review for a restaurant, a bar, a pub or whatever it is; please bear in mind that NO place…

Identity crisis... by darlla on 5/12/2007 via Citysearch
I went into Lotus Leaf tonight expecting a really great Vietnamese meal and I have to say I was a little disappointed. The food was not bad by any means, but I just felt the restaurant is suffering from a bit of an identity crisis. We…
