    Khao Soi
    Adam W.

    Food is great - although I don't have any experience to reference to. Service is great the waitress continued to check and ask if I needed anything else. Ambiance is a little dark with 80s music. I ordered the Khao Soi ; Thai coconut chicken noodle soup for 16$. Really good and finished the entire bowl :)

    Lunch special menu as of Sept 25

    Very authentic Thai restaurant! I love this place, and the prices are very reasonable. Last week, I had their green curry and cashew chicken to go--both were amazingly delicious. I usually don't get cashew dishes, the cashew chicken here was sooo goood!! Today, I came back and ordered the lunch special basil chicken. The lunch special includes one egg roll, a crab rangoon, and a small soup. Everything came out fresh and hot. I also ordered a Thai tea with cream, which was served in a huge glass. Overall, everything was great! The service was good as well--no complaints about this place.

    Did take out from Thai Lotus, and it was delicious. Started with the spring roll, which was so fresh. It was almost a meal in itself. Then I had an egg roll, which was perfect. Next I dived into my Pad Thai (chicken and 2 shrimp). Surprisingly the shrimp tasted like Argentinian shrimp! Great taste! I also 1/2 of my order in the refrigerator for tomorrow's lunch!

    I've been living 10 minutes away for 30 years and have never been here. Why? It's tucked away and the exterior isn't very inviting. My grandson has been going here with his father for many years. He suggested we go there for dinner so we went and I had minimal expectations. I should say I love Thai food. We walk in, pleasantly greeted. The seats are worn and cracked, but everything is clean The menu is small, but lots to choose from. Our server was very nice and helped with the food selection. I got the whole fish, my grandson got a curry, and my wife got a noodle shrimp dish. When the food came out it was presented very nicely. Everything smelled wonderful, and tasted amazing. Everything was fresh and hot. Portions were plentiful. And prices are very reasonable. Well am I sorry it's taken me this long to go here. But it won't be long before I'm back.

    Picked up takeout from Thai Lotus this weekend and was pleasantly surprised! Thai Lotus is a dine-in and takeout restaurant, so if you're looking for a sit down meal experience this place is able to accommodate. It's conveniently located just past Glendale and 19th Ave with plenty of parking for customers. The restaurant interior has fun wallpaper and ample booth seating. The woman who helped me with my takeout was quick and friendly. I ordered the Pad See Ew medium spice and really enjoyed my meal. Other folks in my party ordered the Panang Curry and Pad Thai, note that the Pad Thai comes with a lot of peanuts. Overall I look forward to this place becoming my new Thai takeout spot!

    I'm a vegetarian and this place was sooo yummy! The staff was so sweet and fast service and the old school music with the diner style booth seats was such a cozy vibe!

    Worst Thai In Phoenix First Time Customer Via Uber Eats E-San Combo- Terrible. They gave more pickled papaya salad which is not fresh. 3 small pieces of chicken. Sticky rice is sticky dry. Tofu Spring Roll- Not fresh. Stale. Fried Tofu- Stale Don't even go here. They really left a bad impression for the price of around $40, you're better off with Rice Paddy, Thai Chili 2 Go, Pho Laveen and Pho Bowl Laveen. The cook doesn't love their job. Everything we got was stale, dry, bad portions and more. I don't understand why this business is still running. False advertising.

    Chicken pad Thai and vegetable yellow curry

    DONT PLAY WITH THE SPICE LOL I got level 3 chicken pad that and my boyfriend got level 4 yellow curry and I had one bite of his and it nearly burned my tongue off ..loll Once I got my mouth calmed down I was able to enjoy my pad Thai! Very good flavor a little kick but not over the top! Would definitely order back! But would definitely adjust spice level on curry

    The manager and staff yelling and threatening to call cops while looking happily justified in doing so.
    Marcus S.

    Poor service, small portions at dinner-sized prices. They wiill call cops if you disagree with them. They should go out of business. They never have anyone in the restaurant dining in anymore for a reason. I have eaten here since 2017. NEVER AGAIN!

    Ordered via DoorDash and the food was fabulous! Not pictured is the Tom Kah soup which was delicious. We will definitely be going in next time to check out the ambiance of the place but delivery was great.

    Got take out for lunch, and it was quick and delicious! Yellow curry with tofu and the veggies and tofu were cooked perfectly! I will definitely be back!

    **July 2026: Thursday Night**…read more We wanted to end our trip on a high note so we decided to try Lom Wong, a 2025 James Beard Award winner! The fact that the restaurant was very close to our Airbnb, and did not require a reservation also felt like a sign to make the visit. The spot is definitely trendy, and parking was tricky. Uber/Lyft would be my recommendation, but there is a paid parking garage down a couple of streets. We didn't need a reservation since we had a small party, but I would recommend if if you're coming with a party of four or more. We sat at the bar and ordered four dishes from different categories, which was a great way to sample the menu; though honestly I think we probably could have gotten away with just 3 dishes for a party of 2. We tried Yam Mamuang Boran (old-style green mango salad), Boo Pad Pong Garee (crab curry with ginger), Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai (dry tom yum with wide noodles), and Naem Khao Tot (crispy rice salad with fermented pork sausage). The noodles and salad were definitely my favorite though everything was seasoned really well and incredibly flavorful. What I loved most was how thoughtfully prepared everything felt. The restaurant has a really sincere, home-style feel, and you can tell the food is rooted in tradition while still feeling special and elevated. It was the perfect final meal for our trip, and I'd definitely come back again.

The biggest disappointment was the Arai Kodai menu option, where the kitchen selects the dishes for you. Unfortunately, the selections felt pretty average. We were served Tom Kha Gai (a creamy coconut soup), Kaeng Phet Charindia (a red curry), Papaya Salad, and Scallop Crudo. While everything was well-executed, none of the dishes felt particularly unique or showcased why Lom Wong has such a great reputation. Honestly, it's the kind of meal I could find at a good neighborhood Thai restaurant. The other downside was the pacing. Being to Thailand many many times, this is nothing we have experienced. We had barely received our drinks and taken a single sip, when immediately every dish hit the table all at once. Instead of feeling like a curated dining experience, it felt rushed and a bit stressful trying to juggle multiple dishes plus our drink: Karaoke king (which would have been good if I had a second to enjoy it) Overall, it was still a nice meal and great atmosphere on par with other Thai restaurants. My advice: skip the chef's selection and order à la carte. Just be prepared for the food to come out quickly and all at once.

I expected the restaurant to be busy during lunch time, but I certainly did not expect how small it is. It felt crammed inside, but no big deal. Parking was also tricky. It's pretty limited, so I had to park a bit further away. In terms of food and service, Thai Basil did a great job. Our server was very patient while we figured out what to order. I went for the Chicken Pad Thai and stuck with water as my drink. I was pleasantly surprised when the food started coming out because I expected it to take longer. I'd say it took about 15 minutes, even during lunch rush. My Chicken Pad Thai was delicious. The serving size was good and it came with a spring roll on the side. The price isn't bad at all either. It was basically $16 after tax for my lunch. I'd definitely come here again on my own.

Parking was easy, but unfortunately the service was the worst part of the visit. I sat down to look at the menu and place a to-go order, only to be told to move to another seat. A simple order of pad thai and spring rolls took exactly 42 minutes. After several follow-ups, no one told me the food was ready until I walked up to the counter myself. Overall, a frustrating experience, and I would not recommend it with other Thai restaurant options nearby.
