Lotus Pond takes its name from Ao Sen, and its recipes from Anh, the family's mom and cook, who spent decades in the food industry including stints as head chef at Vietnamese restaurants in Seattle and the Bay Area before bringing her cooking here. The menu pairs familiar Vietnamese staples with provincial specialties from different regions of Vietnam, alongside a solid run of vegetarian and gluten-free dishes.
