Ordered Pad Thai "Thai Hot". Came out delicious and accented with a courtesy wide of basil leaves. Large portion for that price! read more

Been to many Thai Restaurants, this was one of the better ones. I got the spicy basil duck with noodles instead of rice. It was wonderful, had the crab puffs as well, they had the right amount of crab and cream cheese. If you get the noodles make sure you put sauce on them or they'll be a sticky mess. Service was quick, i had a hard time deciding so the waitress might have been annoyed with me...I took left overs home and ate them for dinner the next night. Don't mind the area too much but definitely want to go when its still light out. read more

I came to Thai Lotus with my book club in a Sunday morning. I appreciated that they reserved a table for us. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, but they serve some tasty Thai food! I loved our waitress, she was super friendly and was also willing to pick a dish for me when I couldn't decide (gotta love the confidence!). I ended up with super spicy drunken noodles (they gave me the Thai hot I wanted, thank you very much), and they were awesome. The veggies were all fresh, the food was flavorful, and the portion was huge! I'll definitely be back. read more

Went here two times and ordered takeout. Food quality was actually not that bad... the first time I went there I had a shrimp basil dish and it was actually really good. I ordered it as a Thai spicy and so the what was definitely there and it had good flavor. Price wasn't bad at all either, I think the total came out to $17ish with a Thai iced tea as well. The second time I ordered a shrimp pad Thai, and it was just ok in my opinion. I've definitely had better but I'm not saying it sucked. Could have used a little more flavor to it and one thing I noticed was that it was a lot greasier than other pad Thai dishes I've had. This the only reason I took one star off. I can't comment on service Bc all I did was pick up my food but everyone was super friendly in there. Prices are similar to what you would pay at Applebee's, maybe slightly less so that's fair. Overall I'd come back for sure. read more

We are vegetarian. This is one of the few places where we really liked the food. Would have given a 4* had it not been for the spice level. Ordered a medium spicy Lemongrass soup and my nasal passages cleared up..... had I ordered the Thai hot, probably would've seen the light at the end of the tunnel . They need to ease up on the spice or put a warning note read more

Great food and authentic taste. Very delicious Tom kha gai soup and the Red curry and papaya salad were also very tasty. Ambiance and area around the restaurant is a bit run down so maybe a take out would be nice too. read more

Waste of my money. I ordered the pad Thai with beef - The noodles were dry and the meat did not taste very good. I could not eat it. read more

Great food! Consistent quality and service. Good value and clean environment. Favorite

We just ordered delivery to our hotel--no silverware!! Okay I have 4 people that now have to eat with their fingers since hotel restaurants are closed....spent $100, so ridiculous. Plus you pay $5 extra shrimp--expect 2-3 pieces. I know we are all hurting, but this was really bad read more

I have ordered Thai Lotus literally over 20 times through Uber eats and it has been delicious every single time. The curry, the pad Thai, the spring rolls... everything here is so good. About to order again, recommend any of the yellow, Duck or Masaman Curry and if you order extra rice you get enough for for 4-5 meals easy read more

I got the spicy basil noodles $8.95 and spring rolls. $2.95 What I liked- Lots of decent veggies Good amount of meat Excellent service Yummy cheap spring rolls Fresh basil What I disliked- Beef was chewy Noodles were overdone and very oily. Happy enough with what I paid with a 20% off coupon, I think I would have been disappointed if I paid full price. The girl was very very nice that gave us our food. I will continue to drive to Yupha's in Tempe, or Sa Bai's on Indian School for my Thai fix. read more

Thai Lotus Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Always love coming here! Great service, and the food is consistently very good! I always get the Pad Thai, and before I was expecting, I liked to get the Thai beer. The lunch special is very reasonable, and it is hardly ever so crowded that you have to wait! read more

Went here for the first time for dinner last night and it was perfect! The service and food were excellent! I ordered the red chicken curry and split an order of potstickers with a couple friends. The server was very attentive and the food was also reasonably priced. This is that amazing "hole-in-the-wall" place to bring your friends and family from out of town read more

The good here is really great, lots of different varieties to choose from! We've been there several times and we haven't been disappointed! It's a small place and not the prettiest place but the food makes up for the lack of ambience. Recommend highly! read more

Thai Lotus Restaurant - Pad Thai with Chang beer, good food - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Was having a serious craving for pad Thai and got a recommendation from my sister and law to try this place out. Needless to say won't be going back. I ordered takeout spring rolls and shrimp pad Thai. Both were SOGGY with oil. Biting into the veggie spring rolls I was hoping for a nice crunch but instead got mush, I couldn't even taste the veggies bc the oil was so overwhelming. For the pad Thai, I got a level three spiciness. Again all I could taste was the oil and some spiciness. The shrimp was okay, 4 out of 5 were good. The fifth tasted a little off, kind of mushy. Only reason I gave it two stars was that the staff was friendly and I didn't get sick from any of the food but wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

Well tried this via Grub hub and give it a shot. Honestly the food wasn't bad and thought it has some flavor yet still can't compare to Thai E San as they got authentic flavor. I mean if you need something that's more of a quick fix for lunch, you can try this place. Other than that, I would go with Thai E San. read more

Like the food and atmosphere. Yum yum Came here for a date and left with some delicious left overs. read more

I came here for curry and happy hour. They did not charge me happy hour price until I mentioned it and then she played dumb like oh I'm sorry. Ya right. Just wanted to up charge me. Also I got the duck curry as she recommended it was the best. I got thai hot. Def not hot. Also I asked if the duck was fatty or crispy. She said fatty. Why would I want fatty duck that the fat hasn't been rendered?! So I opted for chicken w red curry and still got charged the duck curry price. They think I'm naive or something because I have blonde hair. When I got to an Asian restaurant I want to be treated like an Asian. Not someone who can't handle good food or flavor. read more

Best Fish Penang ever! Nicest staff very friendly and accommodating. Thanks for helping make sure my wife was feed. You're a rock star.

Wow, this is the best Thai food I've tried by far in the Phoenix area, I usually make my own food when craving Thai, but the pictures looked so amazing I had to try it out. The location of this place isn't the greatest but the food was very authentic and amazingly tasty. Our server was very sweet and attentive, so glad I found this place! Highly recommended. read more

Very good curry!!! Yellow curry is my favorite from here!! I have been going here for over 3 years now.

We found this originally using a DoorDash gift card but we go directly there. They have amazing pad Thai! We like to get extra chicken and it's fantastic! They even put a variety of vegis in it, so it tastes extra fresh. The green curry is delicious, as well as fresh rolls and spring rolls. Going to pick up for take out, they were friendly and clean and safe. Thank you!! read more

I get frustrated, distressed by the lack of quality ingredients used by Asian restaurants. Seafood makes up, what, 30-35% of the menu and is almost an afterthought - too small shrimp, leathery chicken and beef and Thai Rama on Camelback is now a fatality for these very reasons. And for the New Year they've raised their prices again? Too much. For this, for boiled, leather chicken, I'm gone. What's the Woody Allen joke-"the food here is horrible...and such small portions!" So last night I went to a new Thai restaurant, Thai Lotus, 19th Ave and Glendale and it was delicious. Absolutely delicious. And less dough. I ordered the Penang Chicken, I'll explore more of the menu later. Good spot! read more

You know that generic Thai restaurant with subpar service and barely cutting it food, well, this is not that spot! My first visit and I can tell that here, you are warmly welcomed and kindly serviced! And to top it off, the food is AMAZING! Perfect spice level, flavorful tasting delicacies and the sweetest, most energetic service crew willing to engage and ensuring that you are enjoying the meal! The menu is extensive and that is an understatement. I wonder how they are able to carry such a menu as a small family establishment. Anyways, my staple Thai food dish (panang curry) was TDF! I had to stop myself from swallowing the bowl! Another hallmark is their dessert sticky rice with mango! Unfortunately mango was not in season (so they politely recommended I switched to custard which I did) and va va voom! Splendid!! Who sends out rice in the shape of love? Go try it yourself! I'm sold and you don't have to force me to come back here! read more

Ok so I ordered the pad thai lunch special, came with salad, fried wonton, egg roll. The taste was pretty good I liked the flavor. The portion I wish could of been alot bigger but most lunch specials r usually not that big unless its ala cart. The customer service is fair, music is coo, food came out pretty quik after ordering it, the restaurant itself is pretty coo could use a makeover a lil. But id come again cuz I hear the curry is good so that might be my next visit. So 3 stars for now for portions being so lil only cuz I can eat lmoa! I haven't yet to find an asian restaurant in Phoenix that is hella bomb n give big portions. read more

Got a Postmates delivery today, and with all the great reviews I was thrilled that a Thai place was finally available to deliver. We had a big dinner order of teriyaki chicken, orange chicken, pad thai, and red curry with an order of spring rolls and Thai iced tea. Delivery by Postmates was crazy fast, even during traffic! We got our order in about a half hour, despite an original estimate of an hour. That seemed to be the highlight. The orange chicken tasted too sweet, and the teriyaki chicken didn't seem like it had been stirfried, but boiled in runny, watery sauce. The pad thai had good flavor, but had completely congealed together in the container, the noodles overcooked. Even the rice had gone mushy. The best item was the red curry, which was absolutely delicious. It was flavorful and a little hotter than I expected, but perfect! I would come back just for that. Overall, disappointed after spending almost $50. Maybe dine in is better than delivery... read more

My favorite Thai place...there are mornings I wake up and start craving it right away. If I could eat here everyday, I probably would. I have had a handful of dishes, but my favorite is the Chicken Panang Curry. I like mine mild but I have also had it medium and the heat is still doable. The Chicken Pad Thai is also delicious. My kids like the Orange Chicken but I am not a fan. The rice can be hit or miss...sometimes it's perfect, other times it's overcooked. I have done take out, delivery, and eaten in. Delivery is usually fairly quick...I think only once it had taken the 45 minutes that I was quoted but I usually get it much faster. The food is always steaming, super hot when it's delivered. Take out is good..I usually only wait 10 min or so. I always receive friendly service. Definitely worth checking out. read more

I ordered some takeout via Postmates. The Tom Yum soup was really delicious. Yum! (pun intended). The spicy basil noodle dish was good but could have been spicier and had more basil. But pretty solid. Affordable and tasty. Would order again next time I'm in Phoenix. To go orders: make sure to ask for silverware and napkins. read more

First time trying Thai Lotus today, I stopped in for a quick lunch. Their menu should've been my first clue that it wouldn't be authentic Thai since they have items like crab ragoons and orange chicken but it was weird because it's a family restaurant and they are clearly all Thai. Anyways, I ordered the crab ragoons just to see if there was something Thai about them and they came out cold with the cream cheese still frozen so when I told the waitress she took them away and brought them back out so I'm guessing they just dumped them back in the fryer for a few extra minutes. In the meantime, my pad Thai came out and it was as others have mentioned - very lacking in flavor. Instead of charging me off the lunch menu they charged me full price so all said and done it was $23 for very mediocre Thai food. There are so many great Thai restaurants in Phoenix so I can't say I'll be back to Thai Lotus. read more

Thai Lotus Restaurant - Pad Thai with Chicken and Shrimp - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I ordered from here through Postmates, because they were one of only four restaurants in my area offering the $2.99 delivery, so I figured why not? I'm glad I did! I ordered the Massaman curry (medium), Thai iced tea, and Thai pudding with sticky rice. Price-wise, it was a little on the high side. $13 for the curry, and about $6 for the dessert. The curry was good, lots of flavour, though for medium heat it really made me sweat. If that was a medium, I'd hate to see how hot the REALLY hot stuff is. Thankfully, I can handle the heat, but others may not be as fortunate. So as a tip, I'd say if you only like a little bit of heat, order it mild. The fact that the chicken was essentially shredded was a little odd, but it didn't affect the flavour at all, obviously. It was just strange, as I've never had curry with shredded chicken... I'd say make the heat level a little more true to form, and throw a few more peanuts in, and it'll be truly amazing! The Thai pudding and sticky rice was REALLY good. It was warm, the perfect texture, and tasted like home. As far as delivery goes, they had my order ready within a few minutes of ordering, which was great! If not for the excessive heat on a medium hot order, and the prices being a tad high, I'd have given the place 4 stars. I'll totally order from here again, and may even go check out the actual restaurant on an evening I'm not feeling lazy. :) read more

I first walked in and it was dead quiet, no customers. The decor was sparse, it stil looked like the former IHOP just different colors...I think, nothing noticably different. I stood there for about a minute waiting to be seated. Two ladies were talking nearby and another walked from the back and pointed me out. One of the women who had her back to me, turned and quickly got up. Apologizing profusly she grabbed a menu and seated me. She offered water before I ordered, but I asked if they had Thai Iced Tea. She did and brought me a water and my Iced Tea. The Thai Iced Tea was very delicious, just ask for easy ice...so you can get more tea. I was deciding on the Pumpkin Curry (as yelped here) and the Pineapple Shrimp Curry. Pumpkin was just a little too different so I went with Pineapple Shrimp Curry-Hot. It was good, it was nice and spicy - nose sniffling spicy, perfect! - The taste was there and I liked that they gave you a large bowl of rice with it. You can get noodles or jasmine rice for a dollar more if you desire. After my food arrived and she gave me a few minutes, the waitress came over asking about the food and started talking with me about the Pumpkin Curry, she was really pushing it. Like she wanted to make it Thai Lotus' signature dish or something. She was also talking about how the construction isn't helping her business and to tell people if I like the food here. Just a bit too pushy for me, I had planned to Yelp about the visit anyway, but still... PRO's -The dish was sooo filling and pretty good $12.95. Those little red and green chili's were just halved and gave it an extra kick! -Thai Iced Tea was delicious $4.00. -Service was good, she even came around with pieces of watermelon she was eating with her coworkers. "I share, after you eat hot, this sweet." she explained. CON's -The carrots and peas in the dish came out of can, FRESH would've made it perfect. -Thai Iced Tea came in a large wineglass type, but too much ice and not enough tea. -There was an ant crawling on the diveder. Not a little ant, but a LARGE-where the heck did that come from- ANT. A roach would have totally grossed me out and ended my visit. But ants happen, it didn't bother me - just the crazy size of the thing. I pointed it out to the waitress and she quickly grabbed her boss and napkin to dispose of it. As this is closer to me house than my #1 Thai place, I'll be going here again. Maybe to try the Pumpkin Curry, but maybe sticking to the other curry's I'm familiar with. read more

Fried rice---10/10 (smoky taste was awesome!) Salmon in teriyaki sauce----8/10 ( the server kept on suggesting to get it with coconut because it was way better but my mom insisted on teriyaki) Pumpkin curry mild spice----- 10/10 (its curry with lots of vegetables, be ready to eat more rice!) Silver noodle soup-----9/10 ( a little more seasoning this would have been a 10) Orange chicken-----7/10 ( the chicken was good, citrus flavor qas definitely there but not orangy) Coconut Ice cream----8/10 ( the taste is there, its just that i tasted something way better before especially that fresh coconut part. For people not used to fresh coconut, this is an easy 10) The place was so relaxing and quiet. Perfect after a long drive under the sun. We were there early at 6pm thursday with 2 other groups... So i dont know how it looks during busy times if they have one. read more

Clearly, this place used to be a Denny's, which immediately made me think that it would be awesome if there could be such a thing as a Thai Denny's. I don't know if that's a really good idea, or a really bad one, but whatever. I ordered the spicy basil noodle dish (often called Pad Kee Mao in most restaurants) and I asked for it to be extra spicy. I suspect, but cannot prove, that the staff were placing bets on how much this white boy could eat. I ate it all. It was delicious. My friend ordered the chicken basil, and it was a small portion, although it was still good. An overall positive experience. But seriously, get on that Thai Denny's idea, that needs to happen.... read more

Wow! So happy to have an EXCELLENT Thai restaurant so close to home! Didn't know what to expect when entering this restaurant which opened in the old iHop building on 19th Ave, but we were greeted so warmly by all the staff. The menu is nicely varied. We had the chicken tom yum soup (hot!) and tofu green curry (hot!) and spicy beef noodles (medium hot). Both dishes were excellent. The prices are very reasonable and the food was delicious. We plan on going back many times and hope this place makes a go of it. Can't wait to try more dishes! read more

Great little Thai restaurant and I hope it survives the light rail construction. Most everything about the place is on par with expectations -- the menu, the service, the food, the decor -- but it is all done well. If you're thinking, "hey, I'm in the mood for thai food." Then Thai Lotus is for you. read more

Although this is in a sketchy neighborhood it had good reviews and was close to my hotel so I thought I'd give it a shot. I ordered the Masaman Curry Chicken. This is one of my favorite orders from Thai restaurants when I travel so I am comparing it to many other places. I can't comment on the service as I ordered it to go but the staff was friendly and the interior looks well maintained. My two main issues were that the curry was watery and thin and most of all the chicken was pre-cooked from a can. I know this because I have used it in my cooking before and I recognized the taste and consistency. This explained the overall bland taste. If you are not using quality ingredients then you will have sub-par results. Look, I don't expect a place like this to be a gourmet spot but at least cook your own chicken. In the end, it wasn't awful and it filled me up but that is about the best that can be said. read more

My new favorite Thai Restaurant and it's incredible. I stick with my favorite, the orange chicken combo, but my husband tries different dishes. He's tried the eggplant and said it's cooked perfectly. This last time he tried the papaya dish, Thai hot and he loved it. We always share the sweet sticky rice for dessert. The service is wonderful and we've never had a complaint. They have a happy hour 3-7 M-Th. This summer we're going to try and catch one. If you love Thai food try Thai Lotus yippy will not be disappointed. read more
