Lotus Banh Mi sits in University Village, one of several Chicago-area locations serving Vietnamese sandwiches, noodle soups, and rice bowls. The banh mi lineup runs from a classic pork belly and pate version to honey-grilled pork, ginger chicken, and a sunny-side beef with oyster sauce and five spice, all built on toasted French baguette with pickled daikon, carrot, cucumber, and cilantro.
Beyond sandwiches, the menu covers beef, chicken, and tofu pho, noodle salads topped with pork eggrolls, and rice bowls in coconut curry or garlic-oyster sauce styles, with vegan options including crispy tofu and avocado preparations. The restaurant also runs a catering program for offices and private events.
