I have never received a meal so quickly after ordering! Food was delicious, ample portion size. We enjoyed a quiet dinner with family here; the only diners that evening since the restaurant does most of its business as takeout. Service was non-intrusive but timely.

I would usually wait till the next day however the Lotus Thai Restaurant in St Thomas is quite the place to eat. This might be on par with the sweet onion bistro in London, another outstanding eatery. Great service and ambiance. I was shocked not just impressed. One side is an executive waiting area complete with Budda, Christmas tree and nic nacks for your home...great stocking stuffers. The other side fine dinning with a potential of serious romance. It would also be a spot around Christmas that you and 20 friends could go there put some tables together and have a Christmas party or outstanding festival celebration. The food..OH MY GOODNESS Santa! That's how it makes you feel. Their Chicken Pad Thai was to kill for. My better half is a Pad Thai expert and Lotus Thai receives 'in the top three ever'! High praise from her most definitely. I am recommending at least once during Christmas take someone special to the Lotus Thai Restaurant St Thomas. Your cheque book and family will thank you. Luv Malcom💪😎💙Stay strong St Thomas.

Every time I come here I am over the moon with the quality and taste of the food. The staff are pleasant and the flower cookies are fantastic. I'm absolutely hooked on the fresh rolls, if you haven't tried them, you are missing out!! Best Thai in town, hands down. I've not yet dined inside the restaurant and have only gotten takeout, but am looking forward to enjoying the decor and atmosphere very soon. Thanks for the consistent excellence!

This was a great experience and a really tasty meal. One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve eaten at in Canada. Really great but simple and clear selection of food at very reasonable prices. The staff here were also incredibly kind and welcoming. The food is delicious.the spring rolls are meat from scratch as is all the food. They also have some delicious snacks for sale in the room to the right of the entrance. Definitely worth a visit.

Most delicious, most succulent, most omg Thai food! I am absolutely in love with the flavours. We had the Cashew Chicken and Pad Thai…they didn’t disappoint to say the least. We also bought a pack of the cookies at the counter and those were also flavoured nicley and had a sweet crisp to them. We will return for sure. Beautiful place, very very kind attentive waitress and legendary Thai food. Can’t go wrong!

Update! Went back this evening. New (to me) very kind waitress. Food is phenomenal as usual. We are so full. There was so much tofu on my plate. I can't complain I love it. My fave dish is Tofu Golden curry. I'd like to meet the man in the kitchen some time. I hope one day their venture can expand to a bigger location. I know it would be a hit. It's always full. I posted my usual photos and reviews on local Facebook pages. I always tell people they have to try it. I highly reccomend eating in over take out. The experience is just so different.

Food is okay but what s going on with the service? I ve been here twice and the staff are incredibly rude and unprofessional. I rarely leave reviews but I m genuinely shocked.

My first time ordering from Lotus Thai. I ve been missing out. I picked up the all day special Thai cashew with chicken. The portions were good and the price was fair. Considering the price of the all day special is on par with a fast food combo but gives you more filling food of a far higher quality makes this place a go-to for everyone. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu.

Impressive me when I just look at outside of the restaurant. We got meals for 2 people. I wish the mango salad they could cut it smaller. And this is weird version of mango salad I ever eat in my life.pad Thai is good. Spring roll and wonton a bit greasy but tasty. But my curry is shame. Sticky coconut rice was too wet already and on top of it is all salty curry.it very salty I cant even take 3rd spoon. Let the girl know already hope it just one time mistake from the kitchen. UPDATED: This is ridiculous. First time I have to update my review just because of the responses. I dont ask because when I come to restaurants, to try what is original from the restaurant and I give feedback as my opinion of myself. How I know it big or med or tiny to ask to cut it smaller or thicker. And u said it not enough for me to take it home???? If u say that dish it not enough. It mean u serve me something smaller than usual. Because I dont have to lie about the salty dish (which as I already said it may be a mistake from the kitchen) missing only 3 spoons. 1 from me and 2 from my bf. He tried for 2nd time but give up with saltiness. And we dont even want to send it back to the kitchen never. Its is just an experience. We order and willing to pay what we called. And that time no one comes to ask if everything ok like they always, or ask do I need to go box because we leave a table and pay in the front so how someone can see my table and think it ok to leave like that????? . I understand working in a restaurant is very stressful and being busy in the kitchen may have a lot of mistakes. but make it fun of my word and say something it not true that I dont agree with. I give a review as my opinion to improve to better with all kind of customers. If u dont want to take my opinion or we as customers. It totally fine also.

I had my first experience at lotus Thai last week. My friends told me you have the best food. I came in at lunch to pick up, was waiting behind a lady picking up hers. The lady asked the girl behind the counter if so and so ( not naming so and so) was working? She looked at her so rude and said do I look.like so and so it came out rude as well. Then the girl that works there was telling a little girl that she stinks and to tell her mom she needs to use the washroom . No one would speak to my child like that The food was amazing but I only gave a 3 star because of the girl behind the counter. Ill try another time at night when someone more pleasant is working.

It gets quiet when food for my hubby and I is served because its too delicious to talk. This is a trusted restaurant for gluten free dishes. Every item on the menu tastes so-o-o-o good, lots to choose from, and its always a generous portion. The atmosphere is excellent. Its never too loud to talk quietly. The owner and her staff are all on it, they never leave you wanting. I absolutely recommend Lotus Thai. The prices are quite reasonable, dine in or take out no disappointment expected. Oh, and what a friendly place! Thank you to who we see the most, Pom, Pete, and Karen~ Dietary restrictions: Nearly all dishes are or can be gluten free. Parking: Theres always space to park on the street directly in front of the restaurant, or we could park in back.

A beautiful place filled with statuettes of Siddhartha. The Pho (Thai style); I found overly salty, and lacking in typical aromatics. It was however tasty in all aspects of simplicity. The noodles were meak standard, however the added $ steak component was fresh and well portioned. Good amount of basil and shrimp for yet another $ charge. Rather an expensive lunch for a basic bowl of soup. But I dont regret it.

The food was not authentic Thai food at all. Maybe they used some Thai spice dry rub or something, but my curry was not curried properly and the Masaman dish tasted the same just with pineapples. The rice was mush. Maybe 5 minute rice. The food was slop with some sort of Thai spice added. I will never get food from there ever again. Also, when I get Thai food and I say sawadika, I expect them to at least know that. They looked at me confused. Kahpoonkahp.

We have always loved lotus Thai and get take out all the time. However, this time we ate in and shared the all day special. Little did we know that there was a $2.00 up charge for the beef. Thats totally understandable and maybe we just missed that. What was extremely crazy was the $5.00 charge for us to share the meal. How on earth can you charge $5.00 if you don t offer the meal in a lunch portion?? We love the place but this is crazy! Do better Lotus Thai.

So disappointed in the pho we ordered tonight. My partner got the beef pho and I ordered the chicken pho and we both got approx 5 small pieces of meat in each and the meat tasted like reheated chicken and beef not fresh.

Been here many times. Love the Pad Thai and the spring rolls. Had a bad experience with the wonton soup. Wonton were completely raw in the middle. Told our waitress, not even a sorry or a complimentary drink, nothing. Would love to 5 star but that experience soured my score of this place.

★★
December 23, 2023

Originally had a 5 star but after lastnights dinner I will change my review. We ordered a large wonton soup and wanted to share ($5 Upcharge- which is insane) anyways, all the wontons were raw still. We told the waitress and she took the soup back, but very casually just acted like it was no big deal. Raw meat is unsafe, especially pork. My husband ate 4 wontons before I got to bite into one and discovered they were raw. Dine in experience is usually not very good. Padthai is always delicious though. Service just sucks and the lack of acknowledgement to the raw meat situation set me off this place.

Very friendly service, low waiting time for lunch on a weekday. Fresh veggies, properly cooked. Very well cooked tofu! (Thats rare: tofu is often soggy and oily). The spring rolls were very good too. My only note is that I found the whole a bit too oily for my taste. I prefer white rice that hasnt been fried. I will ask next time. Price-wise it was somewhere in the middle, I believe, with the lunch special at $17.00 (soup.or spring rolls + either pad Thai or sauteed veggies w/protein, or a curry. Entrees are around $17-18, and everybody gets some left overs to go. Will come back.

Upon entering the foyer there is a sign that states please wait to be seated. The wait was a little odd. There was no front end host and someone yelled out to grab a spot in the dinning room. Outside of that instance the food and service was good,. The sauce for the rice paper spring roll was a bland peanut sauce. Needs more depth for sure. I tried a yellow curry it was good although I feel it lacked the complexity of flavours I have grown to expect in Thai cuisine. Over all I am pleased with my latest experience and will return as its one of two Thai restaurants in this area.

In 2016 I gave Lotus Thai a one star review. Now, in 2022, I see no sign of any of the problems I was concerned about then. They used to have misleading dietary claims that said vegan and gluten free which werent true. Thats very serious, but it seems fixed, so I im redoing the review. While there isnt any major fail point, everything is a little lack luster. I wish the food was a little more flavorful, I wish the ingredients were a little fresher (Im looking at you limes). The wait-staff was friendly and nice, but she was handling everything front of house, no complaint from her performance but she did look like her hands were really full with 4 tables, takeout, phone, bussing, and hosting. Oh, fyi, they do a $1 surcharge on everything if you eat in. Fine with me, I think that makes sense. Just think of it as a dollar off when you take out. Edit: I love when businesses reply in specific ways and not form letters, it shows they care. Caring counts for a lot!

The takeout Gem of St.Thomas...have to admit I rarely takeout anything but the daily..Pad Thai special, always the favourite..fresh and delicious! The owners make you feel like family friends and treat you as such. When dining in with friends, or out in courtyard, the relaxed atmosphere always leaves us feeling a return visit will be soon.

Great experience and great food. Portions are massive and great vegan options.

December 23, 2021

I ordered the mango/coconut glutinous rice. What I got was a super overcooked, mushy rice (almost like rice soup) with thin strips of unripened mango twirled around in there. Ive had mango rice hundreds of times everywhere else, never have I ever encoutered this. Im native to Thailand so I can say this is not mango rice, Highly disappointed. To reply to your reply: NO REFUND WAS OFFERED by you whatsoever. You were pure rudeness over the phone. Please dont make up stories to make yourself look better. And there is not a myriad of ways only ONE type of this traditional Thai mango dish -- any other way (with soupy rice and unripened mango, for instance) is innovative and that I stand by. So no thank you for your gracious discounted offer -- thats a joke. I wont be returning ever and wont be recommending this place to anyone.

The service was very good and the portions were big, but unfortunately it was fairly bland. I had basil fried rice with chicken. Typically, Thai dishes like this have a mixture of sweet, sour and hot. There was a good amt of asian basil but no heat. I liked the place and would try again but not the best Thai food in St. Thomas.

This is one of the best restaurants in St Thomas. Not only are the kitchen staff and owner lovely, but the drivers are fantastic. I just received my meal and had to call and thank them for how wonderful it was. Growing up in Toronto I had high expectations and they have exceeded them over and over again. I urge you to try their wonton soup, and Thai cashew chicken stir fry. Absolutely fantastic. It arrived HOT and quick like always. My go to restaurant, any day of the week. Thank you for being so fantastic.

WOW!!!! So happy we found this St. Thomas gem. We just moved here from the GTA where there are multiple options for Thai food, but I have to say none of them come close to how delicious the food is from Lotus Thai. We have dined in but mostly get take out and the service as well as the food have been amazing. We opt for the Pad Thai and get the spring rolls and shrimp rolls, and it is always hot and delicious. The delivery drivers are also very friendly

I am a fan favourite of Lotus Tai. They always deliver my food with a smile. Today I order my regular meal like I also do. I dont switch it up, because I love the Sweet Soya Basil its my go too if Im having a rough time it always cheer me up. Though as I received my food I had the most caring, kindest, sweetest delivery man I EVER had! He left me speechless and warm my heart with how he greeted me. Thank you to my delivery person, you honestly turn my October completely around and left me on such a good vibe. Thank you I needed that your sweet gesture As always my food tasted as amazing as it is.

Loved the food! I had the fried rice with chicken, garlic chili hot sauce, and the oolong tea. The rice was amazing and even though I hate eggs I LOVED theirs!!! The food was amazing and the service was incredible! The garlic chili hot sauce was surprisingly spicy, and was very thick and had many chili seeds, I also loved the flavour combined with the rice. The oolong tea was delicious and I drank the whole pot, it was strong which I liked even more! (cute tea pot by the way) then as I left I had to get a jar of the hot sauce as it was delicious! (Could be my new favourite sauce!) then he gave me some Mango Pineapple Habanero sauce for free! The sauce was delicious and it had a nice burn just from covering my fingertip! It has an amazing flavour that had an amazing taste and a good scent! The place was also amazingly decorated and had a very nice feel! I would highly recommend going here, 100% worth it!!

I had the All Day special, with shrimp Pad Thai. The spring rolls and dipping sauce I give 5 stars, the deep fried pork wonton also get 5 stars. The pad thai only gets a 3 star rating. Although the pad thai was good, it just wasnt great. The flavour for me wasnt strong enough, and the portion could have been bigger. I did like that the shrimp had the tails removed. I would still order from here again.

My family and I love their fresh rolls, spring rolls and shrimp rolls, they are seriously the best! We like to order the thai cashew nut stir fry (mild spice), sweet and sour stir fry (mild spice), the drunken noodles (medium spice) and the sweet soya basil noodles (mild spice). Their pad thai is too sweet for our taste buds but thats a personal preference.

Beware of the Combos. The lunch express pad thai serving for $8.95 is the SAME size as the full dinner combo (half a small container) for $14.95. Ive ordered BOTH and got the exact same size serving (with 2 small deep fried shrimps extra only). I called to let them know after I picked up my order, and they said there was nothing they could/would do since I already picked up the food (ummm was i supposed to check the food before I walked away with it?!) and that it was probably the correct serving size (which would be INSANE. The serving size was the size of my palm, not even enough to feed a small woman who doesnt eat a ton). For the price, I expected a FULL dinner serving of pad thai, especially considering the pad thai is only $12.95 on its own. What kind of special combo is that to get HALF the serving with spring rolls? Not a deal at all, then. Ive eaten here a few times and the food is pretty good, but this experience has turned me right OFF. They could have just admitted they clearly made a mistake, and it wouldnt have been a big deal to me, but NOPE.

Just had our dinner delivered we received the wrong order. When I called to let them know was not impressed on how this was dealt with .
