Wow! Amazing place! Super friendly staff and the food- 10/10!! Yes it is a little expensive BUT so worth it. Good size portions, super fresh & fast. Can definitely tell everything is made fresh & not from a box. We shared the rangoons - which were perfectly fried and can tell ( again not from a box ). He got the beef drunken noodles & I got the crispy fried pork belly. Amazing!! server was very nice, checked on us frequently & super fast with everything. Will 100% come back!!! read more

My wife and I came here for dinner and really enjoyed it. I had the Pad Thai and thought it was excellent. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the flavor was really well balanced. My wife ordered the Nam Kho and loved it too. We also got the sweet and spicy wings, which were honestly one of our favorite parts of the meal. The Thai iced teas were great as well. The service really stood out. The woman helping us was very friendly and even brought us a sample of the basil Thai fried rice to try, which ended up being really good too. That was a nice touch and made the experience feel welcoming. Food came out quickly, the atmosphere was relaxed, and overall it was a great dinner spot. We'll definitely come back. One of my favorite new places in Redding. read more

I got the pad de ew that had great flavor and the noodles tasted fresh. I would say that the portion size with the cost of the dish does not add up in my opinion. I feel like this Thai restaurant was a little bit on the pricer side. I would've loved to see the portion size be a bit bigger due to the cost of the dish. But overall, the food was good. Customer service was very nice and there's plenty of parking. read more

This is amazing fresh taste food , our favorite place to eat, pork egg rolls and chicken fried rice was a perfect 10 wow !! One of the best we have ever had, we will be returning soon!! Thanks for bringing amazing food to Redding read more

Overpriced and underwhelming Thai food. We ordered the Thai boat noodles, pork belly, and pad kee mao. First off, $30 for a handful of sliced, deep-fried pork belly with some sticky rice and watered-down sauce? I kept asking myself, what exactly is in this dish that warrants a $30 price tag? You're better off going to Kanya Market and grabbing their to-go pork belly and rice dish. The boat noodles were heavy on the salty side with a strong earthy/herbal flavor. I was expecting the rich, meaty, slightly sweet and savory broth that makes boat noodles so good. They also forgot the fried garlic that was advertised in the picture. Lastly, the pad kee mao looked great, and the noodles had a really nice springy, chewy texture, but unfortunately, the dish was lacking in flavor. Overall, this will be my last time going there. For the prices they're charging, I expected much better flavor and quality. I'm not sure how sustainable those prices will be if the food doesn't match them. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. The chicken Laab was refreshing not too spicy. The rice noodles with gravy and pork just melted in your mouth. The pork could easily have been misconstrued as chicken because it was so soft and tender. The coconut soup with shrimp was delicious and they even took out all the lemongrass so it made it easy to eat. The service was awesome as well super friendly. It's a super cute place as well. Nice ambience. Highly recommend! read more

Lotus Thai - Coconut soup. - Thai Near Me - Redding, California

We were very disappointed with our meal. The mango salad which was $27.95 was 80% rice and did not contain any fresh mango it was very salty and terrible actually. The garlic noodle with beef was way too salty and contain 3 tiny pieces of beef I was shock at how tiny the potion was for $22.95. Then the nam khao was almost all rice with only a tiny bit of other ingredients it was so disappointing 70 dollars for a little bit of rice and noodles. There are many excellent Thai restaurants in town just wanted to try something new. This is my first bad review I have ever taken the time to write and want to warn other this place is way overpriced for what you get. read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Duck noodle soup: 3/5 Mango sticky rice: 3/5 I'm used to a more flavorful duck noodle soup so this one was a bit lacking for me. The soup by itself is good but with the rice noodle it falls a bit flat. There was a decent amount of noodle and duck but the duck pieces were pretty small. I might have liked it better if there were bigger slices. Mango sticky rice - some of the rice was a bit hard and I wasn't a fan of the hard yellow topping as it gets stuck in my teeth but I think that topping may be the more traditional dish. The mango wasn't super sweet but it still tasted good. Honestly after reading some reviews I was worried I'd be walking into an empty restaurant but I was pleasantly surprised to see some customers and it also seems they had some regulars coming in to pick up orders. Service was great, the food came out quick. The added chicken sample boosted the service rating as well since that was a cute surprise. I overheard the table behind me ordering while warning the server of their allergies to shrimp, peanut, cilantro and some other things and the server patiently gave recommendations. I would say the items on the menu do seem a bit pricier than normal... read more

Food was ok! But they overcharged my friends and me when we went there for a later lunch on the way to Mount Shasta, and the lady was really nice. She didn't give the bill on the table; we didn't pay at the cashier, and we forgot about it. Then, when we went back, we stopped by again for lunch, and she overcharged again. We didn't ask for the receipt on the card. My friend checked her bank account and went online to check the prices and reviews, and a lot of people complained about the overcharging. I went to my bank account; I paid $39.something for one Pad Thai of $17.95. I gave a 20% tip plus tax, and the second time I ate sticky rice for $15 and iced coffee for $7, plus another 20% tip and tax. She charged $39 something too, and all my 6 friends were the same! I can't prove we didn't get the receipt for that; I just want to advise you! On the GPS, it was the best one!! read more

Food is good , the only thing I didn't like here was the mango sticky rice. No flavor at all, prices are way too high.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Redding. Flavors are amazing and Menu is exceptional. ( Supposedly there is an online menu with even more options.) I try new dishes almost every time I go- but the Pad see ew and Thai tea are my favorite! Unfortunately, I don't remember to take pictures of my food.. but it's always so well plated! I know you'll enjoy! read more

We picked up our order, and I ordered without noticing price because I thought it would be about the same as Bay Area or less. Wrong. The Mango Curry Chicken was good, but I wouldn't say amazing, not for $30 practically. It's way too expensive for my liking. That dish should have been 17 at most 22. I rate it 3/5. Garlic Noodle with Chicken was dry as can be, didn't taste like garlic and the noodles were super brown with some crisp. It almost felt like they ran across to Panda and picked up noodles over there they were so dry. I rate 2/5. read more

Service is very slow. Food is blan. The people in the restaurant are very nice. I felt it was expensive and when I went to pay, there was an additional service charge. They need some time to get all the bugs worked out. read more

The only thing I like at this restaurant was the Pompano fish which was $30. Other than that, the prices at this restaurant are insanely over priced! $30 for a House Special Fried Rice, That is straight highway robbery!

$30 for 4 small over-fried little egg rolls and a 1/2 inch thick palm-sized slab of sticky rice with a few sour unripe mango slices?!!! Service was very friendly and fast, but overall it was just ridiculously overpriced mediocre food. This town already has well-established great Thai food places, this new venture may be an epic failure to launch... read more

Place looks nice. Could be good for 6 or more people. In Redding the place looks better than most Thai places. Service was ok. Not good but not entirely bad. Took us a while to be given any water or asked for drinks, didn't get any refill. Had to ask for veggie plate for pho. We ordered a side of rice we didn't receive. Other newly seated customers were served before we did. Food was bland. We ordered yellow curry and pho. Yellow curry was $16 bucks and it was so small. Taste was sweet. No spice. Pho was small for $18. Compare that to Thai huts small pho beef combo with more meet and better taste for less than that. Pho was comparable to powder based pho broth. I would probably try it again to try the other food items. But wouldn't recommend it to anyone, read more

Poor service, they charged you for extra service for your kids. They need to try to another restaurant and see what's the difference and obviously observe and learn from it, common sense. read more

I love the chicken pad Thai the only thing is when it comes out it super hot temp wise so don't jump in to fast other wise it's a nice place

Great food and fast service. Our dishes were full of flavor. Super clean and well decorated. We just got soda from a can but we didn't ask for any of their signature drinks either read more

We went to try the food here out because they are new in town. Saw the three star rating but still decided to give them a taste try. The rating is accurate! The setting of the store is roomy, nice lighting. However food was over powered by a lime taste. Over priced for the money we paid. I feel that they should just put the lime on the side so customers can adjust it would be better. My nam yum mamuang only tasted like lime. It was suppose to be deep fried rice with mango so I was expecting sweet and flavored nam rice, however it was super wet, a little sweet and spicy then straight up lime. Super sour. It was a taste I couldn't do because it was just tooo sour. Usually nam plates come with a side of lettuce to help with the taste. I only got a few cucumbers. Dish tasted like someone fried my rice, washed it and put lime on top to make it unnoticeable. The Thai boat was also super lime... and sour. even adding hoisin sauce and pepper didn't help with undoing the lime taste. Again the lime should have been optional, left on the side for customers to adjust. Also they added the bean sprouts and I feel not everyone like the taste of bean sprouts so would have been nice if we can have it on the side as well. the only reason why I gave two stars was the curry. It was very delicious. If we ever come back we probably come for the curry, it was not sour or lime out! Taste was perfect. I also feel like the service was bad. Waitress didn't even come ask if we wanted water refills, didn't check up on us. Mind the food being super sour we needed a lot of water to help with the lemon taste!!! The lady came and handed us our tab and said come pay at the register. Even seeing that we didn't even finish the food she didn't ask if we wanted to go boxes or anything. When we went to pay I asked for a Togo box for the curry and rice, she looked annoyed. She asked how big and left to the back she brought back a small to go bowl for the curry, I ended up packing the curry and rice together. We really don't think we will ever come back here... but yup the three star is accurate. If ur wanting good boat noodles just stick with Kenya. read more

The food was small and boring but cost like it was special. Many Thai places in town. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

Cucumber salad was good, cucumbers tasted fresh and light - not mushy, complimented the curry a lot due to the contrast in flavors and textures. Curry was mildly spicy but really good. I've had a lot of Thai food growing up and Thai Curry is, in my opinion, a staple and the curry here was done well. Service was good and the setting of the room is roomy with nice lighting. read more

The most authentic and flavorful Thai food in shasta county. The chef puts so much love, care and presentation into all their dishes. They have a unique flavor profile that is different than the other Thai restaurants in town. I notice how they cook with detail and precision- making their meat flavorful but soft and tender. Their quality of meat is much higher than the other Thai restaurants who often have low quality meats and over cook their meats making them hard and dry- but not this place! They really put a lot of effort into their cooking. Their soups are absolutely delicious and super flavorful, mouthwatering. I got the Ka Soy and it was soo good. Flavor profile was different than other Thai Ka soy but that's what made it unique and flavorful. I also recommend the Ka poon it's more like curry. And the Guay Tio Nam Sai soup- WOW! Chef specialty that really has so much unique flavor and so comforting to eat. Pad Thai is awesome and noodles cooked to perfection, flavor balanced. So are the fresh spring rolls, they were huge and best ones I had in town. Huge menu and There are a lot of good mid range items for $18, you just have to take the time to look. They have some higher quality more expensive items too. Also the service their is A+. The waiter is so loving and caring about the people who come in and she also gives us a memorable, friendly and caring experience. She even hand made us fresh springs rolls that are not on the menu, and made them huge with a delicious sauce. She also presented it very nicely That's just an example of her thoughtfulness and willingness to go the extra mile. This is a small restaurant but give them a chance, they really care about their businesses. Thanks for blessings us with such good food. Much love. read more
