Lotus And Light - Burbank

Nice little neighborhood spot it's in a strip mall but good quality and price! Overall decent Vietnamese food, I highly recommend the chicken vermicelli salad, and of course pho. I'd steer clear of their fresh summer rolls though too much rice noodle and felt overstuffed with imbalanced proportions of ingredients. Service is great in the restaurant the server was extra attentive to give water even though I was there for takeout/to go only. Check it out!Kid friendliness: Nice big tables and plenty of space for kids.Parking: Strip mall with free parking lot.

Great find. I was in the area and decided to try Lotus Light. I placed a togo order for bun vermicelli with charbroiled pork. I opted for shrimp and egg roll add-pn for $3. In total my food came out to $18 which is a little much for a lunch but fair for the portion and the quality. I throughly enjoyed my food. The flavor was great and food was fresh. I thought there was ample amount of pork which is rare nowadays. The restaurant is nice and clean. Plenty of seating. I did pickup but the interaction I had with the staff team was pleasant. Would recommend and will return.

The grilled pork chop with rice is super tasty! Even my picker eater son says it is delicious and want to have it again.Food: 5/5

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!

What a cute spot for lunch! It was a chilly day (65 degrees! , so I was craving some pho! I looked up Yelp, and this place came up and mentioned ample parking... something needed when dealing with a lunch rush. Service was great, and the pho (I had the beef combo pho was AMAZING! Just the right amount of fat that highlighted the delicate spices. Wow. Talk about a winner. Will definitely be back!
