Pink Lotus Mullumbimby is a Vietnamese eatery at 72a Burringbar St, Mullumbimby, serving traditional Vietnamese street food shaped by family recipes and migration. The menu draws on dishes that have been passed through generations, with cooking centred on the flavours and rituals of home-style Vietnamese food.
The venue’s story begins with a collection of handwritten recipes carried from Vietnam to Australia by a young refugee. Those recipes became the foundation for a family food tradition, preserving methods for pho, rice paper rolls, spring rolls, curries and Vietnamese buns. At Pink Lotus, that heritage remains central to the way the food is prepared and presented.
Fresh local ingredients are used alongside familiar Vietnamese aromatics and condiments, including lemongrass, Thai basil, coriander, coconut, pickled carrots, chilli jam and nuoc mam sauces. The cooking is built around balanced, fragrant flavours, with recipes made by hand and connected to the shared meals of a close-knit family.
