Absolute GEM!!!
It's a small, cozy fast-casual spot in the middle of a busy Oakbrook shopping corridor.
We came in on Saturday during late lunch, and ordered 2 banh mi sandwiches and a Beef Pho. The sandwiches were simply amazing. The buns were fresh, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The filling was fresh, warm, flavorful and absolutely delicious! The pho was delightful, had great toppings and deep flavor! Only small gripe is I would have liked a bit more toppings to add besides that Thai basil and bean sprouts (like cilantro, onions, jalapeño, etc.) but the simplicity of the pho was overshadowed by its great flavor and the HUGE portion (which we ate and took home the leftovers for 2 additional meals)
The price point was slightly higher than "fast food" but manageable at about $40 for two people for 2 sandwiches, Pho, and a can of soda.
We really enjoyed Lotus Bahn Mi and would absolutely recommend it!
