    The duck red curry comes in your own little hot pot
    Alison L.

    Awesome thai joint on Tongariro Street. It was such a comforting reward after a long day of rafting. The place was quite packed so that felt promising. They offer a pretty inclusive menu and I had a hard time deciding but ended up getting the duck red curry which was great. It had plenty of protein and the curry contained grapes which is something I've never seen. Also, none of the dishes come with rice and when you order it, your server scoops it onto your plate from a community bowl. Lots of groundbreaking stuff happening here folks.

    My family stayed at Taupo in September 2015. We decided to have our last dinner here. It is located downtown and is beautifully decorated. The service was ok, the waiter seemed a bit turned off by us. It didn't bother us too much. We ordered many different dishes, but none really stood out. The meal was overpriced for the portion and flavor. I've had better thai iced tea. The one we got seemed watered down. The pad thai was too salty for me. My bf liked it. The shrimp curry special was ok. It was weird they charged for rice, when a couple of blocks down at an Indian restaurant, rice was freely given with the meal. I would have gone to the Indian restaurant again if I had known this. The tom yom soup was tasty. The whole fish we ordered was so small. My family ended up getting a supplementary dinner after this because it wasn't fulfilling. Perhaps it's because we have had amazing Thai food at home, but we were pretty disappointed with many factors about this restaurant.

    Review Highlights - Lotus Thai Restaurant

    The Thai food in NZ is quite bland compared to the original so it pays to ask for it to be a little spicy if you want it that way.
