This restaurant is consistently amazing!! It’s difficult to pick a favorite dish since their curries and noodle dishes are so spectacular (and I also highly recommend the mango fresh rolls). Beyond the food, everyone that works here is INCREDIBLY kind and friendly. It feels like a family restaurant and makes you feel like part of the family! Go eat lunch or dinner there right away!!

Delicious Restaurant on Cal Ave. I definitely recommend the fresh spring rolls & the yellow curry chicken. A bit spicy, but tolerable. Service was also great & super fast.

After years of enjoying their lunch specials, we finally visited for dinner. At dinner, the chicken satay skewers and yellow curry were both fantastic. For a lunch special, the chicken & broccoli stir fry is great as well. Definitely recommend for a casual Thai spot.

I've been to this place twice and the difference between the two visits was pretty astounding.The first time, I came with my best friend for dinner. We shared fish cakes, which were super good. I got the massaman curry with both chicken and tofu. They messed up my order and gave it to me with shrimp, which wasn't the biggest deal. It was DELICIOUS. I loved it so much! I also got the mango sticky rice and it was just as good. Service was great. I raved about this place to everyone who would hear me out. The second time, I came with my partner for dinner. I tried out the pad see ew with chicken this time. It was pretty bland, but at least the portion was rather large. However, the most notable difference was regarding the service; the waitress rushed us when ordering and gave us the check when we weren't even halfway through our meal. When we didn't put a card down immediately, she came back and asked us to pay for our bill. Since it was around 8:45 and the posted hours said they closed at 9:30, I hesitantly put my card down thinking that maybe they close at 9:00 instead. After paying, we still weren't even close to done with our meals but they tried to take our plates? To top it off, right when we got the check back, the waitress sat a couple right next to us??? We were so confused and genuinely made to feel that we were treated differently because of the way we looked. I was really disappointed from this experience and will not be coming back.

Looks like I missed with my order. Tried the Pad Khee Mao which they called flat spicy noodles. It was bland and tasteless and quite disappointing. The fish cakes were nice.

The ingredients used in the food and the fruits seemed fresh. We ordered medium and spicy dishes but even the spicy version wasn't as spicy as other Thai restaurants. The service was good with friendly servers. If you're looking for proper ambience then you'll be disappointed but if you don't mind the small Asian restaurant ambience then it'll be all good. On the whole, I was pleasantly impressed with the joint and would come back to the place.

Had lunch there with colleagues. The waiter spilled gravy on my pants when she's putting away our dishes after we were done. She didn't even say sorry. Only handed me a wet cloth which she used to wipe the table with. This is so rude I will not come again.

Oh dear, let me tell you about this restaurant experience I had! So, I went to this place expecting some tasty Thai flavors that would make my taste buds dance with joy. But alas, my hopes were dashed! The food lacked that distinct Thai essence, and the beef and chicken dishes were overwhelmed by chilli. Can you believe it? Chilli is great, but not when it's the only thing you can taste! To make matters worse, we tossed more than half of our meal. It was just not up to par, my friend. The only saving grace was the rice, which we managed to salvage. But let me tell you, it was far from the best Thai meal I've ever had, and I definitely won't be ordering from there again. No way, no how! But wait, there's more. The server brought me a Thai pad dish with shrimp instead of chicken. Can you imagine the disappointment? I politely let them know about the mix-up, expecting a replacement dish to be offered. But, alas, all I got was a measly $1 discount. Talk about underwhelming! Although the noodles didn't quite hit the spot, I appreciated the server's effort to rectify the situation. At least they tried, right? And here's another kicker: the yellow curry chicken lacked the necessary saltiness for my liking. I also brought this to their attention, hoping they would offer a replacement. But no, nada, zilch! They didn't even bat an eye. Sigh. It's like they didn't care about my taste buds at all. Overall, my experience at this restaurant fell far short of my expectations.

Glad we stopped by this restaurant after finding a long line at the original place I wanted to go. I had the beef pad curry kee-mow. It is very different from other pad kee-mows I have had. Think of this as pad Thai x curry fried rice. I really enjoyed the noodles but the beef was a little tough and hard to chew. My coworker ordered bbq chicken and it was flavorful and juicy. The portions are very reasonable. Heard another party praising their popcorn chicken. Will have to come back again and give that a try.

You MUST try the Pad Thai Popcorn Chicken! It’s one of the most delicious foods I’ve ever tried. I’ve ordered this multiple times and it’s always at a great temperature (I order delivery) it pairs excellently with their brown rice too.I’ve had their calamari as well and it’s so good! Highly recommend this place as a frequent customer.

So delicious and flavourful. Khao Soi and lemongrass mango salad were incredible. Medium spicy is well enough heat in these two dishes in our opinion and we typically like spicy. The mango sticky rice was also super tasty!

We have eaten Lotus Thai so many times over the past few years that it would be criminal not to give it five stars. The service is good--they are generally attentive (when I eat there in person for lunch or dinner) and it is often ready within 20 minutes if I order for pickup. The staff are very friendly.The food is what keeps us coming back. It is a solid option for Thai in the PA area. I've never been disappointed in something I've gotten here. Hands down, my favorite dish is the pumpkin curry--it is fantastic. Our other favorite dishes include the yellow curry, the pad see ew (we always request extra vegetables), and the pineapple fried rice. The pineapple fried rice isn't something I personally like to eat as a main dish, but it's a great thing to split between friends as a side dish.Other dishes I've enjoyed include the crispy duck, the murtabak, and the pad thai, though these are things I haven't reordered (they were good but not as good to me as the other dishes I've mentioned).The only dish I've ordered and haven't liked is the red curry (because I don't really like eggplant).In sum, this is a solid place that I would recommend to any friend. You'll probably end up spending around $20 a person here but we have found it's worth the price.
