What People Are Saying About Blossom Restaurant

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.

Great service & healthy, tasty food
by LDonnell at Citysearch
I ordered the Pho Tom (with shrimp) and my friend ordered the classic Pho Ga (with chicken). The food is reasonably priced. We both loved our meals. In response to another post that the pho is not adequately spiced, you just need to add extra "rooster" hot sauce and hoisin, which they provide on the table. Their spring rolls are also great. This is a great place to bring a vegetarian, and would be a great date restaurant. There is an outside seating area that also looks quite nice, but I have yet to dine outside. Overall, this restaurant is definitely worth trying if you live in the downtown Los Angeles area.
- Pros: service, food, ambiance, prices
- Cons: parking - hard to find on street, $5 in garage nearby

Disappointing Vietnamese
by dcfma at Citysearch
The spring roll appetizer my friend and I had at this Downtown Vietnamese restaurant was good. However, his Pho noodles and my meat rice dish were almost tasteless. We almost left also when we saw the C rating from the health inspectors. I wish we had now.
- Pros: Service
- Cons: Cuisine

Good Food, great price, Downtown even!
by blauvelts1 at Citysearch
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.
