Reviews for White Lotus Thai Cuisine in Albany, CA
Munched with a friend for her birthday. Found this place on Yelp! Did not disappoint. Food was fresh, cooked to perfection.... Everything was delicious! Bravo to the chef and the server. I would definitely put this place on my radar, next time I'm inAlbany! Did I say delish?!!!Deep Fried Corn Cake is a must try! Read more
I slept on this place for many years and all I have to say is Roti Roti Roti! The Roti appetizers, are perfectly cooked to... golden perfection, crunchy and chewy, served with a small bowl of yellow curry that just makes the whole thing pop. Reallyyummy. The Khrik King (sauteed meat with green beans), is next level, Smokey, savory, and sweet all at the same time andgenerous portion size. The Larb salad was fresh, herbaceous, (Herb-y), with lime juice and mint leaves, and all together,incredible. This is Thai food to step up from the norm, in a beautiful open environment right near the corner of San Pablo andSolano in Albany. Highly recommended Read more
White Lotus is one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants and definitely my favorite Thai restaurant. The food is beautifully... presented and can hit different notes. Some dishes are subtle and delicate, and other dishes are fiery and complex. Hot dishesare hot, if you are into that. I usually order a salad, a noodle dish like Pad See Ew, and a curry dish. I think these are someof the best noodles around! However, everything on the long menu is great. Kind, attentive service. My impression is they do alot of to-go orders, but I usually eat in the dining room. Read more
Service was SOOO slow, and there was only one other table. Made no sense. Food was fine, but not good enough to make up for the... ridiculously slow service. Red curry was the standout dish at our table. Other food very mediocre for Thai. Read more
We ordered dinner for two here on Saturday night for takeout, the larb salad with chicken and green curry with veggies. The... green curry was extremely oily and the chicken in the larb salad was gray and didn?t taste quite right. My partner ended up withgastrointestinal distress from this meal later in the evening. We really wanted to love this place since we live close by, maybeit was an off night but we won?t be going back. Read more
My cousin and I live in Santa Cruz County. We had never been to Albany prior to 3/12/22, my birthday, when we attended a gig at... the Ivy Room across the street. We hadn't eaten all day so we were STARVING. The White Lotus was nearly closed but served usan ample meal, plus kept the kitchen open for our dessert orders an hour after closing time. We had Pad Thai with Tofu, Sweet &Sour (sauteed) Shrimp, fried calamari, egg rolls, and took plenty of food home. We had mango sticky rice and fried bananas andcoconut ice cream for dessert. Forgive my menu choices but I loved fried food. They had pages and pages of other choices. Service was excellent and our orders were delivered quickly and accurately, i.e. "no green pepper" on the sweet & sour shrimp. We were there until 10:20 even though they closed at 9pm, and never chased us out. Awesome staff, clean restaurant andfacilities, food was presented beautifully with large wedges of fresh oranges. Delightful! Now we know where to eat in theEast Bay. Read more
We come here a lot and there?s hardly ever more than two or three parties in here... I?m sad that they?ll close down... the food... is absolutely incredible! The servers are wonderful and they?ll even let you practice Thai with them! I always get the KhaoSoi, but I?ve had other items and they?re all delicious. Please patronize this wonderful restaurant. I can?t stand to see themgo! Read more
Love this spot, one of my favorite Thai spots for over 10 years. Proportions are generous. I love how much variety of vegetarian... dishes they have, great tofu. Also the catfish is fantastic- a must try if you like fish. Read more
