One of my go-to pho restaurants near me. I love their pho, bun bo hue, fresh rolls, and pork over rice. I always add extra onions, scallions, and cilantro!! The staff is nice and it is very welcoming, I love coming back here.

This is my favorite vegetarian restaurant. I am able to enjoy all of my favorite Vietnamese classics but with alternative protein choices. I get the yellow curry with vegetarian "chicken" on a weekly basis now because it is so good. The fresh spring rolls have warm crispy tofu with a yummy peanut sauce on the side. The crunchy seafood noodles are not vegetarian but so delicious. The restaurant itself is calm and clean and the staff are always very friendly. Perfect lunch and dinner spot especially before seeing a movie at the theater across the street!

Square Lotus has resided in Factoria for as long as I can remember, offering Vietnamese and vegetarian fare. Their menu actually has two full pages of vegetarian options, so there's plenty for everyone to select from. Five of us came here for an early dinner one Saturday around 4:45P. In addition to pho and vermicelli bowls, they have a few other noodle dishes and a variety of entrées served with rice. All the menu items are intended to be a single serving. That said, the portion sizes are pretty substantial for an individual, but on the smaller end if you're sharing between multiple people. Nevertheless, we still decided to eat family-style! + LEMONGRASS CHICKEN ($17): White meat chicken, bell peppers, onion and broccoli were coated in a fragrant lemongrass sauce that was savory with some notes of ginger. Although a flavorful dish, the chicken was on the dry side. + SIZZLING HOT POT ($19): A clay pot filled with Japanese eggplant, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and fried tofu in a thin gravy. I loved the eggplant and wish the pot contained more of it. As someone who eats meat regularly, I found this to be a tasty dish for being completely vegetarian. + SQUARE LOTUS CURRY ($17): A green curry with bell peppers, eggplant, peas, carrots and basil with our protein choice of chicken. Sadly, the flavor of the curry was weak and I tasted mostly coconut milk. This said, it also didn't have any heat whatsoever. + SEAFOOD SOFT EGG NOODLES ($19): A noodle stir-fry with shrimp, scallops, squid, carrots, broccoli, snow peas, cabbage, celery, white onion and bean sprouts. The noodles were cooked perfectly and lightly flavored with oyster sauce. I enjoyed the variety of vegetables and how they retained some crunch. This didn't contain much seafood though; it was all gone by the time I got my serving. + VIETNAMESE RICE NOODLES ($17): Rice noodles stir-fried with eggs, broccoli, celery, carrots, snow peas, cabbage and bean sprouts, garnished with crushed peanuts. I loved this dish! The sauce was balanced between salty and savory... these noodles were addicting. We ordered it with beef which was sliced thin and tender. Service was good as the waitstaff is very attentive. However, it seems that all the servers tend to all tables. They share in the responsibilities of taking orders, serving, refilling water, etc. This said, we were asked three different times if we were ready to order and I had to ask three different servers for a box for our leftovers. Perhaps they could benefit from each taking a section of the restaurant.

We ordered two dishes to share among three people. Pho combo extra large and grilled pork chop. The size is just about right for three of us. Recommend to order Grilled pork chop. It is very flavorful. The portion is big.

This is a great stop for some Vietnamese fare. Right off of I-90 it is a quick and easy stop for food on the way home from the Cascades. The food overall is done well and is consistent. The noodle bowls are large portions and the vegetables are always fresh. The crunchy noodles are also a family favorite dish, filled with vegetables and great noodle texture. The service is always fast and quick. Overall I think you know exactly what you are getting when you order here, and they have a great vegetarian selection which I believe is a draw for many.

Here for dinner for our last night visit. We decided to eat something light so hubby and brother in law ordered the rare beef pho, sister ordered the duck noodle soup and I ordered the vermicelli noodle bowl with grilled pork, shrimp and fried eggroll. The portions were hearty and actually my sister couldn't finish the duck that was on a separate platter from the soup, which is something different from other places we have visited. Service was attentive and friendly. The meats were tasty. I cannot speak for the duck as I noticed there was no duck skin on the duck. They have a large menu of vegetarian items that I would like to try next time we visit.

I consider Square Lotus to be a place giving equal importance to both non vegetarian and vegetarian options. Vegetarian options often come with faux meat. Apart from that they do have some exotic dishes including Duck Noodles Soup and Catfish. I highly recommend their Battered fried Shrimp. Fried rice is pretty good too. The Mango Chicken rice was a surprise and I loved it. The chicken skewers were above average. One thing I loved was their sauces served with appetizers. About the service, I was left but disappointed. We came an hour before closing time. At first they took a really long time to take order and then they kept consistently reminding us that they will be closing soon. The atmosphere here is great - no complaints.
