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

The staff here is very enthusiastic and fun. Because the space is not too large, the owner as well as the staff often welcome guests as relatives, give the customer familiar, close, and cozy feeling. The food is always tasted fresh and new, and you do not have to wait long to enjoy your meal. However, if you are allergic to nuts, you should inform your waiter, as Thai dishes usually have peanuts or cashew. read more

I can not believe I paid money for beef and Beef Broccoli Soup. This was my first time coming in and the last. I cannot believe this place is opened. So upset and feeling sick after trying a bite. DO NOT GO HERE read more

Thai Lotus Restaurant - Beef Broccoli Lunch Special - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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

Pleasant and efficient lunch service - the Thai iced tea was so fresh and fragrant! Close to Work. They deliver but I like being waited on hand and foot! SUPPORT BUSINESSES TRYING TO SURVIVE CITY CONSTRUCTION!!! Pumpkin Shrimp dish was so tasty and nicely garnished. The shrimp were clean and plump and cooked just right! Tried the Crispy Basil Tofu and it was tasty but next time I would add green beans or eggplant just for additional taste & texture. Really appreciate the server bringing me my own little tray of spices and sauces since Companion was a Sissy and wanted everything Tourist-mild! read more

I have tried it a few times because I want to like it, but despite the people who run the place being very nice, but the food is just bland. Thai food, like American food, varies from region to region. It will never taste right though if shortcuts are made with the ingredients used. I would take a pass on this place and go to Siam or Sala Thai instead. tldr: nice people sub par food. read more

They always make our food just right! Great portions and always so helpful on the phone! New favorite place!! Everyone should try this restaurant it's truly amazing. read more

I will never order food from here again. We ordered online red curry with seafood 14.95 and panang for 10.95. Pick up food, and she charged separately for each order, 14.03 for the red curry (1.00 cheaper) and charged 12.00 for the panang (1.00 over). When I paid for the panang she short changed me twice. We walk out to the car and she tells us that she only took 12.00 for the red curry. We both paid with 20.00 bills, no receipts were given. She told us she needed to make sure she made her money, but got an extra 3.00! I realize that's not a lot but after the hassle she gave us, customer service is terrible and food is mediocre. read more

We still love this place even though we decided to lose weight and can't eat out too much this place is still a favorite and we were so happy to come back and have absolutely great food! read more

Thai Lotus Restaurant - Our skinny selves - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ordered take out tonight. It was my first time eating here. I will say that my order arrived on time and the delivery man was nice. The food however, was completely forgettable. Coconut shrimp was ok--a little overly breaded--and I wouldn't go back for them. Then I had the Pad Thai. The shrimp had an odor and a really fishy taste so one bite of that was enough. The dish on the whole just didn't have much flavor and the noodles were all congealed so I actually had to cut it into bites. If I had ordered this meal at the restaurant, I would not have sent it back, but I would not have wanted to go to the restaurant again. So since I was at home, I just didn't eat most of it... I guess a little less than "meh" is my opinion. read more

If you're looking for your typical Asian take/out/delivery fare this place fits the bill. My boyfriend and I dined in, we split an order of crab rangoons, I got Pad See Ew, and he got Orange Chicken. No complaints here! The prices are reasonable as well. read more

Thai Lotus Restaurant - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Our local take-out Thai spot for work. We get food here once a month. They are pretty friendly. The food is good, prices are fair, and the staff are always happy and smiling. Try the Red Curry or the Spicy Rice with Beef. read more

The food took over a full hour to be delivered but was well worth the wait! We had the tofu spring rolls which were gigantic and fresh. Lots of mint and well wrapped. The eggplant with tofu was fantastic. Huge chunks of purple eggplant. The pumpkin curry was to die for. Very hearty and delicious. I like my food super spicy but was eating in with my dad who doesn't so we ordered everything mild. A perfect amount of spice. Will definitely order from here again. read more

This place is amazing, and we love that they deliver!! Their pad thai is one of the best pad thais we've had this side of Phoenix. Everyone is usually so nice and sweet! I'm so glad to have them close by! This place is defined one of our favorite restaurants! read more

I was so excited as this place was "remodeling" an old iHop building to open this Thai restaurant. My wife and son ate there tonight and brought me one of my favorite dishes, Thai Beef Salad. When done right, its awesome. Unfortunately here it was NOT DONE RIGHT. The menus ays it has "rice powder" on it, but mine came with the strangest bits of what tasted like burnt broken rice. It was AWFUL. My wife and son also did not enjoy their meals. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND PASS THIS ONE BY! Oh, and BTW THAI LOTUS, DO YOU REALLY THINK ANYONE BELIEVES YOUR TWO 5 STAR REVIEWS, ONE DAY APART From "Wes J" & Greg L"? SAD read more

Thai Lotus Restaurant - This was the utensil pack they sent home with my takeout, a napkin, mini spork and a coffee stirrer? What the what? - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We ordered thru Yelp delivery. Fast and hot when arrived! We ordered Chicken Penang ( fantastic!) orange chicken( was good but not what my daughter was used to so she wasn't crazy about it) and pad tai ( very good) Will order again for sure! read more

I ordered the Pad Thai through Door Dash. While it was the perfect level of spicy, it was Incredibly dry. I was also very thrown off by the fact that there were shrimp in my Pad Thai. I'm not sure if I would order from here again. However, it wasn't the worst Pad Thai I've had. I also got the crab Rangoons. Those were phenomenal. I needed more sweet and sour sauce, but they were really good! read more

Heading home to LA, the concierge at the Arizona Biltmore recommended this local Thai place. We tried the Thai toast, Tom Kha soup and green curry. All were very good and fresh. We can see why the locals patronize Thai Lotus. Dang the owner served us and what delightful with good service too:) read more

I tried Thai Lotus for the first time today, mostly because I was able to have it delivered through Eat 24. The fact that they delivered and were on time remained almost the only good thing. I ordered crab rangoons ($6.95), spring rolls ($2.95), and Pad Thai with seafood ($12.95). The crab rangoons were fine. The balance of dough to filling was good. They were a little too greasy though. The spring roll was a little too greasy as well. The Pad Thai, on the other hand, was terrible. Not only did it not have a nice, spicy (I requested medium) flavor I expect, but the overwhelming smell and taste of bad seafood made it inedible. I took out the seafood to try just the noodles, and still couldn't eat it. More tomato flavor than what I expect, but all was overshadowed by the bad seafood taste. read more

I had the Red Curry with chicken. I asked for it to be very hot. It wasn't the hottest thai food I've had but, my wife thinks I'm nuts with as hot as I like it. However, they did give me a chili powder they make in house that brought it up to the proper notch that I like Overall, the food was good and flavorful. Worth the trek through the construction. read more

Great place, nice service, and clean. The food was good also but not in the authentic rang but fantastic for intro to Thai food. read more

Thai Lotus Restaurant - Nice, neat, and clean... - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Hands-down my favorite place for my Thai fix in Phoenix. Service is fast and friendly, prices are reasonable, taste is spot-on, and they have a large variety and will customize most dishes. The silver noodles and spicy green bean with chicken are my favorites along with some crab rangoon and a Thai iced coffee for dessert. Delicious! read more

I absolutely love Thai Lotus! I went for a third time and plan for many more visits. The owner is sooooo awesome! She has always warmly greeted me. The first time I visited this new restaurant in my neighborhood, i just wanted some thai tea and curry. To my welcomed surprise the thai tea was awesome! And the yellow curry was awesome as well. On tonights visit I had takeout again this time going for the well reviewed pumpkin curry, and it was sooooooo good! Loved it! The fresh rolls are awesome as well! I recommend actually sitting in and dining at this restaurant, as I plan on my next visit. The atmosphere is very nice, although new and still in process. This was formally a pancake house so with time , we will see it become a true thai house atmosphere of relaxed meals and long conversations amongst friends. The good vibe and owner is what attracts me, as well the curry and spice. So give it a try, you wont be disappointed. The light rail construction, seems to sway ya, but just go slow and pull in for a visit. read more

I ordered the Red curry, Pot stickers, & Orange chicken. How hard is it to make orange chicken? I mean frying it till its unrecognizable & slappin a orange slice on it & calling Orange chicken....doesn't work for me! The Potsticker were also over cooked. The delivery was fast, that's the only reason why I gave 2 stars, that & my husband kinda liked his curry. read more

I'm not sure how this restaurant got the rating it has. We ordered a basic pad thai with chicken and got mushy rice noodles with redish/orange coloring and tasteless chicken. Thai food is bold with flavors and spices. Tasteless is the best way to describe what we received. I recommended Thai E San on Indian School and 7 Ave. Everything there is delicious! read more

Very friendly, polite service. I tend to get my meal to go, its quick and easy. I tend to get the Pad Thai and ask for it with vegetables instead of chicken or shrimp. Be sure to show your Valley Metro "Metro Max" card, it's 10% off your meal. Plus you're supporting local business during the 19th Avenue Northwest light rail expansion! read more

Everything is tasty , But I didn't like the portion of the Panang.it was small. we used Uber which was a 1.99 fee BUT Thai Lotus Charged a "convenience fee" Of almost 6 dollars .. Ahhh No ! read more

Really wanted to love this place it's close and I love Thai food. The only option was to go because of the covid-19. I was fine with that I wanted to go anyway. My food was ready then I got there and they were very friendly and very kind no complaints at all about the service. But the food I love Tom kha and order it pretty much everywhere I get Thai food. There was a ton of stuff in this soup the usual lemon grass and leaves and other things that I know not to eat that supposedly season it. I say supposedly because other than heat the soup had no flavor. I ate very little of it the first day and hoped it would be better the second day over rice but I ended up just throwing that away after two spoonfuls. It just was so disappointing the worst tom kha I ever had. The spring rolls were really greasy and also very bland. The eggplant main course I got was okay but nothing special. I was going to order pad Thai and I asked if he could substitute tofu for chicken the answer was no or I could substitute tofu for the chicken and pay $3 extra for shrimp when the original description was both chicken and shrimp. I decided to pass on that and now I'm very happy I did who knows how that would have turned out.so if heat is the only flavor element you care about in your Thai food go for it this place is great if you want actual flavors and seasonings not so much. read more

I love this place! They are fast, courteous, we dine in and order takeout and delivery frequently. They never mess up our order. The food is fast and super fresh. And did I mention delicious!? When the light rail construction nearly killed their business- (and we were worried for them!!) they hung in there! My ex and I would order frequently just to contribute to them staying open! My new husband and I still order from them all the time. I've taken friends there who claim to have found the best Thai food in town, (some other restaurant) and they always say Thai Lotus tops their previously favorite Thai place. read more

Great, amazing food! I've ordered delivery from them probably 5/6 times now and just discovered them prob not even a month ago. 1 thing I order every time is their mussels on the appetizer menu i love seeing the spices ect in the "finished" product. The delivery gentlemen are great as well so polite and bring my dinner in a igloo cooler/ container to keep it warm....I love trying "independent"restaurants and this one definitely gets a 5 star because the consistency of the quality of food I've ordered in the last month! read more

Obsessed, as expected. It feels like I'm back in my small town, always recognized as a faithful regular. They don't even ask what I'll have to drink anymore. It's great. I could eat here every day and be fine with it. I literally almost chose an apartment complex just because it was nextdoor. Ha! read more

This is the worst Thai food I've ever had. It's quite possibly the worst take-out I've ever had. I ordered two curries: green and massaman. Both were terrible. Green Curry: Watery, flavorless sauce that somehow tasted like burnt pepper. Massaman Curry: First, the potatoes were so under-cooked that I couldn't stick a steel fork in them. Second, I ordered it "Hot" and it came sweet and without any spice heat (my 1 year old had no problem eating it). Third, the "sauce" was dry. In fact, it wasn't sauce at all; they didn't add enough liquid to make it a sauce. This meal was so bad, my wife and I just threw it out and found something in the pantry. I wish I could give this place "0" stars because this deserves less than 1. read more

First off some of the very best Thai food I have ever had. Great food, friendly and fast staff. Do your tastebuds a flavor and stop by! You will not be disappointed. Try the pad Thai chicken yum!!! read more

I ordered take out from here while at a work conference near by. You can order take out via yelp too! I got the chicken curry (medium spice) lunch special. It was a good portion of curry and came with an egg roll and rice. The order was ready right on time, which was perfect since I was in a rush. Staff was kind and efficient! The location is not the best area but the food was authentic, true to spice level and was tasty. read more

Literally the worst pad Thai ever. No flavor and they didn't even add all of the ingredients listed in the description. Smh

This place is great. The people who own it and who work here are genuinely friendly and the food is awesome!

It's my first time here The pumpkins curry is amazing! The food came out in no time and was delicious! I will be back! read more
