I ordered four items through DoorDash and was amazed by the portion sizes. The fried rice and pad thai were huge -- each one was about the size of two of my palms! The shrimp pad thai tasted pretty decent and came with a generous amount of shrimp. The crab fried rice and Thai ice tea were good. Unfortunately, the tom yum soup wasn't and I wouldn't recommend that one. Overall, I enjoyed the food and I'd still order from here again to try other items on the menu. I'd also be interested in dining in next time to see how the experience is in the restaurant.

You can tell they're made with care and not just sitting around waiting to be served. The fried rice was also excellent: flavorful, perfectly cooked, and not overly greasy.

Even if you don't like extremely spicy food, these are very easy to enjoy. Overall, everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying.

We got the shrimp fried rice, xiao long bo, and the spicy wontons. The rice was dry and clumpy. The shrimps were a large size but there weren't many. The spicy wonton was not spicy at all. I did enjoy their xiao long bao though. The broth was hot and fresh and the dumpling was perfect. It just got overshadowed by the other two dishes. I think in a pinch if you're craving you-know-what, this might scratch that itch.

We were sitting at the bar yesterday evening and a rude customer had treated the female staff poorly and caused a scene, the general manager handled the aggressive customer with grace and respect.

The GM had kindly attempted to deescalate the situation but was met with disrespect.

This review is long overdue…read more I've been coming here on and off for the past two years since moving to the area, and every time I give the sushi another chance, it disappoints. This last visit (April 18) was the worst yet. The drinks are actually great, the bartenders know what they're doing. That's the only redeeming part of this place. Now the sushi... completely different story. It took an hour to get a lobster roll, and what showed up had little to no lobster. It was mostly shrimp, not even a mix, and to make it worse, there was visible shrimp vein (yes, the poop tract) still in it. Completely unacceptable, especially for something being sold as a lobster roll. (See photo.) It also took another hour to get just three types of sushi, and the yellowtail was cut poorly, chewy and full of muscle, not clean or fresh. At this point, this isn't a one-off experience, it's a pattern. I've given this place multiple chances, and the food quality and timing consistently miss the mark. If you want good sushi, skip this place. If you want solid cocktails, sit at the bar and leave it at that.

Ordered yellow chicken curry, 3 slices of chicken 4 pieces carrots, 2 slices potato and a lot of curry liquid and very salty.

Had an amazing experience at Thai Lotus! The food was absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Great ambiance and everything was so clean and welcoming. A special shoutout to our waitress Nen she was so nice, friendly, and attentive. She made us feel right at home, checked on us at the perfect times, gave great recommendations, and had such a warm, genuine smile. You can tell she really cares about her customers. The service was fast but never rushed, and Nen made sure we had everything we needed. This is definitely going to be our new go-to Thai spot in Corona. Highly recommend ask for Nen if you can! Thank you again, Nen! read more

Been a long time since last time I visited. It was full house and i saw only one waitress running around by herself because they were under staff. Food was great and it worth to wait even a long wait. The reason I give 4 stars because of hard work of one person try to serve customers and quality of food. Main things that they need to improve are having more staff on weekends and be sure that service and quality of food are above average. I will definitely be back to see their improvement. read more

The staff let them know the trays weren't quite ready yet, but rather than leaving them to wait empty-handed, they offered them Thai tea while they hung tight. My family raved about it -- apparently it was delicious. That little gesture said a lot. By the time dinner rolled around, the food had been kept warm for a while -- but you wouldn't have known it. Everything was still flavorful and satisfying. The Kung Pao chicken had just the right amount of heat and this was my personal favorite. The orange chicken was crispy with a nice tangy kick. The fried rice rounded it all out perfectly. Honestly, nothing but good things were said about that meal. Spicy Bowl turned a simple pickup order into a genuinely memorable part of my Mother's Day. We'll definitely be back.
