Editorial Review for Blossom Restaurant – by Martha Burr
In Short
Young urban pioneers find a welcome oasis at this hip, elegant Vietnamese cafe in a downtown area still struggling to gentrify. Huge plate glass windows light up an avocado/sage-toned room painted with a gold Buddha. Jazz pipes over packed tables buzzing with lunchtime chatter; sidewalk diners sip tea behind bamboo planters. An ambitious menu serves bothsimple and fancy Vietnamese fare, including pho noodle soups, spring rolls, Vietnamese crepes, sweet potato-shrimp fritters, chicken curry, grilled lemongrass steak and roasted Cornish hen.

Insider Tips
ParkingThere are meters in the surrounding area, but some customers choose to pay for one of the nearby garages instead.
What to DrinkThe traditional, strong French-Vietnamese drip coffee is served hot or iced. There's also ginger lemonade, cappuccinos and lattes, and house specialty Blossom loose leaf teas--oolong, green or jasmine--which are also available in elegant canisters and packages for purchase.
Look GoodUnlike many traditional Vietnamese places, this restaurant offers many vegetarian choices including vegetarian spring rolls, fritters, crepes, curry, egg rolls, noodles and soup.

I am really glad that I found this place downtown, it is close to the theaters, and affordable. A great variety of dishes and many of them are vegetarian. Everyone in our party enjoyed their dinner. Light, airy, trendy atmosphere a great place to meet with friends before a show.

Tasty frites (tofu! and sweet potato), the spring rolls were refreshing and light and the pho noodle soup was warm, soothinga nd deliscious. I can't wait to go back. My boyfriend and I were walking over to Pete's but saw this place with the large windows and decided to try it. I was awkward at first but the service is freindly and true a bit slow but definitely worth it. Only drawback is having to go outside and around to the other side of the restaurant for the bathroom. They should really consider making a small one at the back. I guess plumbing is an issue because their kitchen is in the middle. But everythingw as wonderful!!!
Pros: Deliscious veggie plates
Cons: No bathroom
