Wild Lotus

Many of the spices used to create the tastes we love originated in just one region of tropical forests in a previously remote group of islands.

International trade in spices began thousands of years ago. Fortunes were made and lost-and dreams dreamt and shattered-in that trade. And eras of global discovery were inspired by the desire to discover new routes to access these valuable seeds, roots, barks and fruit.

WILD LOTUS would like to take you on an exotic journey that only a few can take in real life, by serving the best of modern Vietnamese and other Asian cuisines with subtle influences from Occidental culture, and by creating the unique, stylish and relaxing ambiance that you deserve.
