Egg rolls
Casey K.

Awesome service. We've been to this restaurant many times to eat in and for takeout. The servers were also kind and happy to explain things on the menu. I recommend sticking to the Chinese food and especially on the front page. Fried soft shell crab is crispy and fluffy at the same time and the crab really shines through. Anything with the XO sauce is bursting with a umami and amazing flavor, we prefer the scallops. The salt and pepper calamari is a must for the appetizer. Similar to the crab, it's fluffy and crunchy and all the right places. The calamari is cooked perfectly. This was a great place to either go for a date night or to take our kids. We will definitely be back.

Lunch special garlic chicken with egg fried rice.
Bob S.

Went in for lunch. It's a medium sized modern looking restaurant with a bar. There was only two other people there for lunch. Only one person working and she quickly sat me. I ordered the lunch special of garlic chicken. It came with egg fried rice, sweet & sour soup and a small salad. The chicken and rice were a good portion and savory. The soup was in a cup and was okay. The salad was small and hot. I wasn't sure if it was a side of vegetables. The service was just okay and so was the food. Maybe the dinner is different. Will have to try.

Not sure what happened to this place; I also noticed that many of my Yelp friends gave less stars for this business/their experience. Quality/Quantity - Paradise Beef Chow Fun - Good portions, but a little too salty. And today we had a few small bone pieces??? Normally I would not stress, but read on... Chicken with Asparagus & Snow Peas - I enjoy my veggies rawish. But I had a few snow peas that I felt were straight up raw, I was not able to eat/swallow all that fiber. We also got a few small bone pieces with our chicken. We ended up eating the rest of our meal chewing in slow motion to not bite into any more inedible pieces. This dish was overly salty too. On a side note, generous portions of chicken. Also available: Chef specials. Lunch specials. Boba tea - See pictures. Atmosphere - Good size local restaurant. Booth, table, and bar seating. HUGE to-go business, which probably backed up the kitchen. We also came during prime dinner hours. Plenty of mall parking. Now open 7 days a week from 11:30am or noon until 8:30pm. Service - Good, Donna warned us that service would be slow today as they were understaffed. So we prepared accordingly. But the wait was not too bad. Donna did a good job communicating the status of our order, meal, etc. Price - $35 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your 11+ years of success.

Updated review: Dined in for dinner last night, we ordered some of our favorite Chinese dishes; general's chicken, Kung pao, white rice, and an order of chow fun. I had to have a boba milktea, so I ordered a honeydew milk tea with boba. It was so refreshing after the hot day we had. The food did taste a little different from the last time we had it for takeout. The general's chicken was more salty than sweet and missing the heat that I looked for. Did you recently, by chance, change kitchen staff? My dinner date complained of a strange aftertaste from his kungpao, but he didn't feel right voicing his concern since I tried it, and I didn't find anything wrong with its taste. The Paradise Chow fun saved our meal, and we loved every bite and still had some leftovers. It's a nice-looking restaurant with plenty of seating in the restaurant and they offer bar seating if you'd rather. I like having the option. The service was great. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often. Prices are a bit higher than other Asian restaurants in our area, and all entrées are served a la carte. I'm okay with that, but the portions have decreased. Meanwhile, prices keep increasing. I'm not sure when we'll be back for our next Chinese fix.

Sweet & Sour Pork w/Steam Rice

Good food. Stopped in for lunch on a stormy Saturday- pretty quiet, server was attentive! Soup was hot and delicious. We had a few dishes and all were quite good! Plenty of leftovers to take home! Clean and nice decor- will return!

Mongolian beef
Kelly N.

I have to give the biggest shout out to an evening female worker. I called my order in, popped in while on the phone to grab it and went to my car to finish my call. The waitress came out 2 minutes later and found me and gave me my credit card I accidentally left in the hustle. LIFE SAVER- above and beyond. Plus the Mongolian beef that a prior waiter had recommended was tender and the perfect level of spice. I wouldn't have changed a thing about this trip or purchase. I'll be back to paradise!

Do they have gluten free?

Yes!! They were very accommodating to my wife, who is Celiac. They offered to modify menu items as well as recommended gf options on their menu.

This is a Thai restaurant, and when we got there they were getting ready to close, but thankfully we were still able to place an order to go. While we waited for our food, we grabbed a drink at the bar. We didn't have to wait too long at all, which was a big plus! We ordered the yellow chicken curry and the chicken Se Ew, and both were SO good! The yellow chicken curry had so much flavor and was absolutely delicious. The Se Ew was also really good and had such a great flavor. I was so happy with everything we got! The people working there were also super sweet and helpful, which made the experience even better. They have seating inside and outside, so it would definitely be a cute place to sit and enjoy your food. I'm already wanting to go back the next time I'm in Reno to try more things on their menu. I would definitely get the yellow chicken curry and Se Ew again because they were that good! If you're in the area, you should definitely go try this place. The food comes out quickly, the staff is amazing, and you won't be disappointed!

This time around was a complete disaster. My wife and I were having Thai Basil Fried rice with varying exceptions. Tofu for my wife. Chicken and no onions for myself. The restaruant on a Sunday evening was pretty empty. Maybe 3 other parties were being served. We waited about 30 minutes for our meal. My wife's meal was ok at best. What I received was not what I ordered. My dish had zero Basil, overcooked Chicken , and no stringbeans . I was thoroughly discussed. I called the waitress over and told her I didn't like my dinner. She said would I like something else. I said angrily no. The waitress said the cook was new and made a mistake. The waitress said she took my meal off the bill. Several minutes later the cook ( not a chef in my book) asked me why I didn't like my dinner. I explained several items missing. He said the waitress put the wrong order in. Apparently both the waitress and the cook threw each other under the bus. It is unfortunate this establishment has gone way downhill. For us we recommend Thai Lotus but they were closed on Sundays.

Thankfully, this cute little restaurant has its own parking area, which was definitely a plus! The restaurant is small and cozy, with only about 10 tables. Service was good by Jab, and the food was okay. I think we're just so used to the cooking style and flavors at Original Thai that we naturally found ourselves comparing the dishes. We tried several different dishes, including the Sampler, Sa-tay, Larb, Chicken Pop, and Tom Yum Gai soup. Everything was decent, but for us, some of the flavors and preparation just didn't compare to what we're accustomed to. Still, it was nice trying something different while we were in the area, and I'm glad we gave it a try!

Thai Chili is a sleeper for sure, as it looks pretty Ho hum from the outside. Once inside, however, it's really homey. It's a little overcrowded with mismatched stuff, but it WORKS! I loved the ambiance for its non traditional, non sterile atmosphere. Now for the food! While maybe not 5 stars, it's a solid 4.5. Everything we had was top notch, with a couple of things being absolutely outstanding. Best of the night were the Curry Puffs, dipped in there insanely excellent peanut sauce (not too sweet and almost like a hint of chili oil) The Springs Rolls were a close second and my Mango Curry dish sparkled. Great Yellow Curry!! My son had a noodle dish that was also incredibly tasty. Have to say it may take me some time, but exploring their very extensive menu will be a pleasure. A big shoutout to Kylie, whose smile lit up the room and was accompanied by her fabulous service. Don't let the nondescript exterior stop you from trying this place. Some of the best Thai food I've had in Reno! Cheers, JimG

I got invited to lunch at this Thai Lotus place in Reno the other day, so I made the drive down. I got there right at 11am opening to meet friends. It's very nice inside, the servers all wear these funny digital lighted tags. I couldn't even read what they said though. These friends all wanted to get the lunch specials. I'm used to sharing Thai food family style, but I guess if you aren't with people you know well enough to share food, then everybody gets their own Thai dish. The lunch specials were all priced around $13 and more if you wanted seafood, like shrimp. I got the Pad Thai with chicken, something safe, as it's my first time here. The lunch came with an egg roll kinda thing, salad, soup and rice along with the entree. Serving rice with a noodle dish didn't make much sense to me, but whatever. The salad was served with a peanut kind of dressing, it was OK. The egg roll thing was a little greasy, but that's an egg roll for ya. The Pad Thai was served in a bowl. The bowl I found, actually keeps the dish hot longer than serving on a flat plate. Good idea! There were lots of peanuts and served with a lime to squeeze on the noodles. I'm glad there weren't a lot of bean sprouts in the dish. I don't like bean sprouts much, but some like them for texture. The sauce was plentiful, almost too much, but good tasting. You added the chili flakes for your own spice level. I liked this version of the popular Pad Thai dish here at Thai Lotus and I thought the lunch special was a good value, with prices these days.

Our server was very knowledgable on their vegan items so it helped in our decision making. We ordered the Mushroom Salad, a Tofu Pad Kee Mow, and their Tofu Satay. The mushroom salad was a refreshing standout filled with a variety of grilled mushrooms on a bed of greens. Our noodles with tofu and veggies was also great - large portions and plenty of protein. As for the satay, they accidentally brought out chicken satay at first, which our server immediately noticed and rectified the issue. When the tofu satay came out, it ended up being skewers of fried tofu puffs that you'd dip into their peanut sauce. While delicious, I was hoping there would be more creativity in layering or marinating the tofu with the sauce like the chicken satay would have been. As a Californian, I appreciated the lower pricing for their menu items and found it fairly inexpensive given the times. Overall, I really enjoyed our meal here and found it a good spot for Thai in the area.
