Reviews for Lotus Thai Bistro in Palo Alto, CA

Normally decent enough but on this occasion very disappointing. Both pad Thai and Pad See Ew did not taste great which will make... me hesitant to go back in a hurry. Read more

Very solid Thai place. I like the green curry with chicken more than the kang pa curry, which had a tad too much peppercorn for... me. To go orders were packed well. Read more

Was nervous to go because of some lackluster reviews, but tried it anyway. Sadly it was not very good, lacking in flavor. The... pad Thai didn't' have lime or peanuts and the broccoli had a weird burnt flavor despite being undercooked. If you have had goodThai food you will not be impressed. Read more

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant Last night First time I?ve ever posted a review For anything Two thumbs up! We?re going... back again tonight that?s how good it was :) Read more

Got the tofu pad Thai, medium spice, and a Thai tea. Tasted great, the portion was fairly good sized, and the medium spice was... relatively hot (only order spicy if you?re really tolerant of spice). Thai tea was really nice as well. Staff was kind andattentive, and the presentation of the food was a nice touch ? I appreciate the attention to detail. Also in a great location.Well worth the money.

The Basil Chicken was very good! The Samosa were just okay, I wouldn't order that again, and my friend got the Panang Curry with... a Thai Iced Tea; he thoroughly enjoyed both! Spicy is quite spicy, so order Medium. Staff are attentive. Food doesn't come withrice, so minus one star. Read more

Best Thai food ever! *Please support small biz! Please call to order directly so they don?t have to pay ridiculous fees w door... dash or whoever? The display was beautiful, but I didn?t catch a photo till it was too late, so please excuse the pics here fornot effectively resenting all the TLC they put into making the presentation and delicious taste and quality of the food! Theorder: chicken pad Thai (peanuts on the side!), fresh rolls (vegetarian with an amazing sauce!), pumpkin curry, brown rice,samosa. It was really nice to have so many gluten free and vegetarian options so everyone was satisfied! We had about 15-20people. Everyone had seconds and had enough leftovers to take home, too. Well worth the price and everyone is grateful forquality leftovers! Thank you Lotus Thai Bistro in Palo Alto! Our expectations were well exceeded! Read more

Ordered the fried tofu pad Thai and was very impressed that their prices on DoorDash are the exact same as the regular menu. I... do wish they were on Uber eats though. The pad Thai itself had a good portion and was impressed that they included some carrotsand lettuce as vegetable garnish alongside the standard bean sprouts. Wish they offered fried bean sprouts as a garnish optioninstead. The fried tofu was nice and crispy and creamy on the inside. Portion sizes are pretty good and the spicy option wasperfect for my taste buds. Did wish there were some bolder traditional Thai flavors of sweet and sour. Read more
