THE BEST Southeast Asian restaurant around with the most friendly staff and coolest vibe. We order from lucky lotus at least once a week and it always satisfies! They have so many gluten free and vegan options and everything is delicious. Their spice is legit - I like my food super spicy and a level 3 hits the spot (this would be comparable to a level 4 or 5 at most places to order wisely). I highly recommend the tofu laap, summer rolls, nasi goreng, tofu char sui, nam khao, bing bing wraps, waterfall salad, khao soi, and basically anything that they have on their menu because i promise you it will be delicious and you will be coming back for more in less than a week. BTW Kevin, Z and the rest of the family and team are true gems and pour their hearts and souls into everything they do! So friendly. So amazing!

Phenomenal service every time I go. I hate tofu but I am a fan of there's. They have beautiful pottery that they put soy sauce in. They have gluten free options on many things on their menu.

I’ve been going here since we first move to Des Moines & lived near by. And now that we live further away we still love coming here for our Pho!! We’ve tried some other pho, but 515 is just really complex in its flavors has so many options. Love the tendon one! Yum! Cfresh groceries where they are located is a really fun store to grab delicious foods. *Pho is Gluten-free !! A plus if you are GF like me !
