Tourists probably don't often get over to the NE section of Portland, but this restaurant could be a lure. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to wander through the neighborhood to admire the bungalows with their lush gardens, then to have an early dinner at this restaurant. You have to sign in when you get there, and they will... More

Blossoming Lotus in inner NE Portland has consistently great food. The food is rich, flavorful, and satisfying in addition to healthy, ingredient-aware, and yummy. The service is casual, professional, and nearly invisible. That's the way I like it. I usually start my visit by adding my name to the usually short waiting list. [Sometimes, the wait is as short as... More

Huge portions! Everything we had was really well made, full of well-balanced flavor. The portions were large and very filling. Even my very not-vegetarian mother-in-law enjoyed it.

Visiting family and went here for lunch. Had a great live falafel wrap, live kale and seaweed salad and my favorite, the tofu and greens bowl. Everything is beautifully presented and so tasty. Made fresh, so the wait can be a little long, but well worth it. Huge portions and very reasonably priced. Try the "cheesecake." It is also terrific.... More

Unbelievably delicious food, with good prices and great bar with creative drinks. You feel like you are in a wonderful chic restaurant and not at a typical veggie place. The service is friendly and helpful. One of the best dining experiences in town.

The service is awful. I watched a waiter dump an entree on a poor woman. I wish I could review the food, but after an hour wait we were so hungry we had to leave. McMeniman's down the street has great vegan and vegetarian options.

We've had such a hard time finding restaurants that offer vegan options where we live in SW Washington. We heard about the blossoming lotus and were hopeful. It was a little tricky to find and parking was also challenging. There was a 30 minute wait at 1:30 in the afternoon, but it was all worth it. We got the live... More

Unique yellow split pea soup, exceptional fruit and cheese tray - fresh pears, apples, pomegranate, kiwi, excellent artisan bread and pesto spread, cashew-based cheese. Can't wait to go back!
