Came to Lotus Thai after a day out with friends (5 of us total) and this restaurant was in the area of their Airbnb. It's a small, no frills place, but the service and food were decent. The decor could use some remodeling, but that's minimal. I ordered a Thai tea which was good, the curry puffs for an appetizer, and the duck drunken noodles. I'd it the best Thai food I've ever had? No, but for the price and decent portions I was worth it in my opinion.

Place is super cute, there's an outside seating area & indoor. unfortunately no parking we had friends coming looking for an hour on a Saturday. The waiter was nice but he forgot everything. Had to ask for Plates for our "shareable food" that wasn't really shareable, we had to ask for refills multiple times, n no water for the table like most places offer. The soda glass was dirty, I was there for my boyfriend's birthday and it was good. I just figured they'd be more prepared. They also never brought the cake out and they were closing we still got it out n shared with the friends . Cool spot just lots of hiccups. Giving them a 4 cuz my man knows the owner but truthfully I would have given them a 3 star. Over all they were still very nice people and fold was okay.

This place is walking distance and before dining in I had only gotten takeout so I was happy to experience sitting inside for a meal. For takeout I would usually get the curry puffs, chicken wings, and drunken noodles with chicken or duck--ALL amazing, so I decided to try different items this time. First, the green papaya salad was delicious, I was so close to drinking the dressing once I got to the bottom of the bowl. It's moderately sized, good enough to split as a first course. I also ordered the crispy chive cakes, 10/10 obsessed. They're so crispy on the outside and warm and kind of soft on the inside and they come with a sweet dipping sauce--I would eat these again and again. For entrees I ordered the pineapple fried rice, no protein just veggies, three flavors jumbo shrimp, and the incredibly crispy duck shu shee. Lastly, for dessert I got the crispy cheesecake. It's basically a deep fried cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream, cute! The food is fantastic, I love finding local gems and there was one man running the show and taking tables. He was super attentive, even taking my used napkin out of my hand and bringing me a fresh one, oh my! The place is quiet, you can hear Stevie wonder gently pumping through the restaurant and it's nicely decorated inside and outside. It's BYOB but you can enjoy soft drinks and teas here as well.

I love this place ! I always get the peanut salmon, I try my best to order something else, but I can't ! I'm hooked amazing desserts and apps! it's byob ! service is great and it's perfect vibe for date night or girls dinner ** update**2 years later and I still can't get enough of the peanut salmon!! The place has been updated, looks beautiful AND they are opening the back patio soon!

One of my favorite spots to eat every weekend! The food is amazing and the staff members are professional! Highly recommend this place!

Visited this place on a whim with the girls and we enjoyed every moment of it! As soon as we walked in, we were seated which was great since it's a small restaurant anddddd it was a Saturday night. The seating is very intimate with a comfortable amount of space between other customers. My friends and I started off with a Thai iced tea but what I loved were the different flavors. I ordered guava and it was delish! I am not a Thai ice tea girl so it was refreshing to like this one. We didn't realize it was BYOB until we were seated but if you'd like to purchase a bottle, there is a liquor and wine store across the street. As apps, we ordered the vegetarian curry puffs, shrimp spring rolls and vegetable egg rolls. Since there were four of us, we comfortably shared all three apps and they were so flavorful! The curry puffs were my fave. The entrees were generous! I ordered the drunken noodles with vegetables and WOW, SOOO GOOD! My friends loved their food as well, we even had to take some to go. Split between all four of us, we paid $29 per person which is a STEAL especially for all that food! A couple tips - There is metered street parking. Download the Park Mobile app to make things easier and to keep track of the time. Also, try to make a reservation if you can. We were lucky to be seated right away but the restaurant is fairly small so we may not be as lucky next time. If you're thinking about going here, DO ITTT!

Covid review : They have a nice patio outside for outdoor dining. This has a rent and multiple tables. It's so nice and beautifully decorated! They no longer do lunch specials if you are eating at the establishment. They only do lunch specials for take out. The Tom yum shrimp soup was good this time around, but not spicy. It also seemed to be more clear. There seemed to be an inconsistency here. The spicy thai basil fried rice with tofu and veggies is a must get. This is my favorite dish I've had here so far. By far superior to the pad thai and curries I've had. However, it wasn't spicy at all. Very odd since my previous dishes were spicy as hell. The drunken noodles with veggies are phenomenal also. There is so much flavor here! Another 2nd favorite.
