About Hanoi Lotus

This Coburg staple dishes out hearty Northern Vietnamese cooking with generous portions and warm family hospitality. Tables fill up quickly with groups tucking into crispy bánh xèo folded over fresh herbs, bowls of soothing beef phở, and platters of salt and pepper squid. Solo diners pull up a stool along the street-facing window counter, while dinner parties uncork their own wine or order from a dedicated vegan menu. The meal rounds out over Vietnamese iced coffee and bowls of char-grilled pork vermicelli.

  • BYO Friendly: Diners can bring their own wine to pair with home-style Vietnamese dishes.
  • Solo Window Seating: A street-facing window bench and counter stools make dining alone easy and relaxed.
  • Dedicated Vegan Menu: A standalone plant-based menu runs alongside traditional meat and seafood options.
