It's been a minute and I filled my Lotus Leaf spice craving with Panang Curry with chicken and potstickers and now I'm pleasantly full and satisfied. Lotus Leaf gets spice level right. Medium is pleasantly hot, just enough to prickle my scalp and make my nose run (lol, TMI). RC orders hot but Thai hot is too much even for him. The Potstickers remain a favorite, meaty and crispy and perfect for ponzu sauce. read more

Delicious! I've been looking for a good Thai place near me and was so happy I discovered Lotus Leaf. We got the Pad See Yew with chicken, which I loved! The Crispy Wonton Rolls were made to perfection! They were way better than regular wantons as you actually got a bite of cheese in each bite. Last we tried the Shrimp & Chicken Spring Rolls with peanuts sauce. I loved the freshness off them and the mint! 10/10 would recommend. We did curbside pickup and they were very prompt. I have never been in the inside so can't say much about the setup inside. read more

Lotus Leaf - Crispy Wanton Rolls, Shrimp & Chicken spring rolls, pad see uew - Thai Near Me - Eden Prairie, Minnesota

We ordered this as an online order for pick up. The green curry was AMAZING. We also tried the potstickers, egg rolls, pad thai, ginger beef and pineapple rice. Everything was good. Favorites were the pineapple fried rice and green curry read more

I gave this place a many chances before writing this review. It's done hill dramatically over the last few years. I would recommend not ordering in advance as you could show up and they start making the food when you arrive (I have witnessed it twice). No apologies ever made on the delay. I would rate the food 3 out of 5 (cold most likely because they can't get pick up times figured out). Bummer this place can't get it together because the food is decent. read more

I've been meaning to try Lotus Leaf for a while, and I can't believe it took me this long! I got takeout and the food was so fresh and made to order, it was still piping hot when I got home. I tried the wonton rolls, egg rolls, and garlic beef stir fry. I loved every bite, and it made for amazing leftovers! read more

The food is take out only; maybe they have that listed somewhere but I wasn't expecting that. I think there were only three people working so they were running around and behind. The POS system wasn't working and they made a mistake on someone's order where they actually followed them out to their car to get the food back. Ordered the rolled wontons (8/10), Thai fried rice (7/10) and the pad Thai (7/10). The food wasn't necessarily bad, but I've had better. read more

This is not a full-service restaurant. It is lightly staffed, on an early Saturday evening. On the other hand, the food itself was great, and was delivered promptly to our table. I ordered a curry dish (medium spice), and my son ordered the Pad Thai (medium spice). Wonderful. Delicious. read more

Excellent food and service. They have always been very fast and efficient with my orders. My favorite items are the spicy green curry with shrimp and the fried rice with beef and basil. If you like it spicy be sure to get it Thai hot. read more

This was my first time ordering food from here. There was no flavor. I ordered the ginger beef stir fry, and it came sitting in a broth. The beef and broccoli were soggy and flavorless. I also ordered the Pad See Yew. While the noodles were prepared well, there was little flavor. Also,!I ordered both dishes medium, but there was zero spice. Luckily I had sauces at home to use. read more

Finally got take out from here after being recommended Lotus Leaf by multiple people! Food was overall excellent! I would say the spring rolls were the highlight of the meal - the peanut sauce was superb. Pickup was easy after ordering online. Can't really comment on the dine-in experience but I've been told good things. If I'm nitpicking, the cream cheese wontons in egg rolls shape weren't for me and the pad thai wasn't the most flavorful. Excited to sample more of their menu and dine-in! read more

In a pinch, I wanted some chicken pad thai after curling on a Sunday night and picked up some from Lotus Leaf in Eden Prairie on my way home. It was good, but not spicy for medium. Next time I'll get more heat but it was enough to quench my appetite and desire for some noodles. The online ordering app didn't work but that could be because it was late on Sunday night. Location is easy to get to off of Hwy 5 and it's near a business park so there's plenty of free parking. It appears Yelp has this place 4 star rated, but from what I could tell, maybe 3 to 3 1/2 stars would be appropriate but then again, we're talking about Thai food in E.P. read more

Lotus Leaf - A little Chicken Pad Thai to go. It was good, but next time will order it more spicy than medium - Thai Near Me - Eden Prairie, Minnesota

The restaurant is in a little strip mall, the seating area is small, intimate with soft lighting, the interior decor is simple with Thai inspired arts throughout. The staff was very nice. We ordered the chicken egg rolls, spring rolls, chicken pad Thai & spicy green chicken curry. The egg rolls were small but there was plenty and surprisingly were meaty & were very tasty. The sauce was a little too vinegary for me. The spring rolls were the freshest that I've ever had! The wrap was tender, the filling was very well balanced with chicken, shrimp, noodles & veggies. The peanut dipping sauce was excellent! The chicken pad Thai was good, however, it was a little bit too sweet for me but my son enjoyed them very much. The spicy green curry was very good. Don't let the color of the broth fool you as it was rich, thick & wonderfully flavored. read more

The sauce in my curry was good but very mild not medium . My meal had maybe 5 little chunks of pineapple., 7 shrimp and less than a teaspoon of vegetables. read more

Good stuff overall. Reasonable pricing too. It's always the small local spots that are good

Lotus Leaf is a Thai-inspired restaurant just off 212 in Eden Prairie. It is not an extensive menu, just one page but what they have is good. They have all the typical Thai dishes like pad Thai, Tom yum, etc. Also fried rice, curries and noodles. Their curry dishes are good. They have a Panang curry that is really tasty. Lotus Leaf food is not hot. You can order Thai Hot as that is one of four heat options. But it is not close to what you would expect. Even with that, the food is prepared well and has great flavor. Spring rolls are really good, $7 for two large rolls with shrimp and chicken and a great peanut sauce. Beer and wine is available. Beer selection is wide, you can get a Summit EPA for four bucks. No beer is over $6 and there are several local options. They have a number of lunch specials. I tried the potato and chicken yellow curry. The special comes with the curry and either fried or white rice, a cream cheese roll, small chicken fried egg roll and a green salad. The salad has blueberries, greens, etc., with a light dressing. All of this was $11 and plenty for lunch. The space itself is nicely decorated. There are booths, tables and high tops. Even when it's crowded at lunch the noise level is not bad at all. Service is fast and efficient. All in all, this is not the place if you want a wide selection of authentic Thai or hot food. But what they have is fresh and made well. read more

Ordered the shrimp pad Thai, good not great- not sure why . Taste buds not satisfied- you know? It was not busy at all, our server (?), although very nice had a strong odor of nicotine on him. He must have been outside having a cigarette . Very strong, we don't smoke. Won't be going back anytime soon. Tipped 20% , I believe if their nice and service is good TIP , well. Ciao for now read more

Lotus Leaf - Dinner with my daughter, wanted to try (me) something new. This place isn't so new, for me it is. - Thai Near Me - Eden Prairie, Minnesota

The food is Delicious! We discovered this place about a month ago and have been there about 4 times. My favorite is the Thai Fried Rice with Shrimp and a few extras like broccoli, carrots and ginger. The chicken potstickers are good and I've never liked potstickers. I also like the Crispy wonton rolls, chicken eggs rolls and the Garlic Shrimp are all delicious. I wish they had chicken wings and they are only open 4 hours a day for carry out. But the food is consistent and always very good! read more

Not sure what happened, but we got terrible food today pad see ew was dry and not good, it had two pieces of broccoli in it and maybe 4 little pieces of chicken. Pineapple shrimp fried rice did not have any pineapple in it. Egg rolls were good and spring rolls was ok. Gonna have to find new thai place, because this meal was so disappointing. read more

If you like Thai food, I highly recommend this place! It's an average size place in a new strip mall. Very clean. Nice decor. It wasn't very busy when we arrived. We were greeted warmly in seated quickly. We decided to share fresh spring rolls, Jasmine tea, pad thai with shrimp and chicken, green curry (also with shrimp and chicken), and mango and sticky rice. Everything was delicious! The pad thai can be ordered on a spice scale of 1-5. We opted for level 4. The green curry could be ordered mild, spicy or Thai spicy. We opted for Thai spicy. The spice levels were perfect for us, who enjoy spicy food. At some restaurants, the pets I is rather greasy. Not the case here. It was a nice balance and not greasy at all. The mango and sticky rice was a perfect that sweetness and creaminess. The service was good and all the food was very good. I would definitely come back to this place! read more

I will preface this by saying that I have only gotten takeout from here (my understanding is the dining room is currently closed), but I genuinely don't understand why this place doesn't have a higher rating. I have tried almost every Thai restaurant in my area searching for the best and have been consistently disappointed -- until Lotus Leaf. The panang curry hits the spot every time and the spice level is consistent. For me, it is worth it to drive a little extra to pick up here instead of somewhere closer with less consistent quality. By the 3rd time I had gone, the staff had already learned my name. Highly recommend. read more

We've had take out several times and it's always been a great experience. We are big fans of their pot-stickers, spring rolls, pad thai, yellow curry, and panang curry. The level of heat is selectable and matches the description well. Nice people, great service and our orders are always correct. The restaurant itself is standard strip mall, clean, but not too much character. read more

This little gem in Eden Prairie is such a surprise given this suburb's lack of true ethnic and diverse cuisine. It's in a strip mall so easy to miss but don't overlook because their lunch specials are worth it if you're in the area. $11 coconut curry special gets you perfect portions of salad, white rice or fried, small spring roll, small cream cheese roll, and coconut curry. I was both full and satisfied! Spice levels are rather Minnesotan. Go straight for Thai hot if you want any level of heat. Space was bright and clean. This restaurant is still relatively new as it just opened in fall 2015. read more

Terrific coconut chicken curry. Wonderful flavor and tender chicken. My only question is whether Lotus Leaf is open to sit down service? As C19 struck LL was resigned to carry out only. You'll enjoy their cuisine. read more

Stopped by just to grab some tom yum. I asked for no cilantro and no onions - but nope they definitely left those in there. While I'm not allergic and wouldn't have died, they do make my stomach hurt so it was a big hassle having to pick out all of the onions and cilantro. Soup was mediocre to me - had the spicyness but lacked flavor. To me this place was alright, but wasn't anything special that would make me want to go back. read more

Run do not walk. I've known about this place for years but never had the chance to try. We just moved to the area and decided to try it tonight. OH MY GOODNESS! The Shrimp Pad Thai is the best pad Thai I've ever had. Not skimpy on the shrimp. My husband got the Basil Fried Rice and it was amazing as well. Lots of beef. I were not huge into spice and the wonderful human that answered the phone helped us order for our spice levels. Incredible customer service and food so good I haven't even finished my bowl before writing this review. read more

Choked on a nice big HAIR in the fried rice. Nasty and revolting. Apparently no hair nets for cooks. They did take it off the bill but by then everyone was so sickened that we left. Sadly, the hair was probably the best tasting thing there. The cashew chicken stir was appalling. Sugary, soy saucy, flaccid and gross. We are spoiled with great Thai food In St. Paul. On's Thai at Snelling and University is 99 Stars. The best. read more

Table for 1 please!!!! This is my go to comfort food. Better yellow curry doesn't exist. The staff is always very sweet and I love the vibe. Also huuuuge fan of all the gluten free options! Game changer. read more

The atmosphere of this place is very inviting & gives me warm vibes. Friendly staff. I'll be back to explore more but this time I got- Crispy Chicken Egg Rolls: Not the biggest fan. Presentation is nice! Flavor wise 2/10. Crispy but too oily for me. & I didn't like how it was sort of soft & mushy in the inside.. (Maybe it was just that day.) Pad See Yew w/ Beef: Pretty good. I got medium spice but it wasn't spicy at all for me. Flavor wise 7/10. I'm definitely gonna have to try "hot" or "thai hot" next time.. If the spice level is right, I think it would be so much better! read more

I love this place! It was one of the first places I ever had curry and still one of my favorite! The lunch specials are a deal at around $10! Salad, egg roll, cream cheese wonton, rice, and choice of mini "entree". The peanut sauce and sweet and sour sauces are so good! read more

Lotus Leaf - Thai Near Me - Eden Prairie, Minnesota

I had high hopes from the reviews. They were very fast. We had planned on eating there, but they're only doing pickup right now. The pad Thai was ok, flavor was fine, but just not much there besides the chicken. I'm used to at least seeing longer lengths of scallions along with bean sprouts. There were only a few little finely chopped scallions. It's also usually served with a couple lime wedges. The tofu green curry was nice and spicy, but a bit sweeter than it needed to be and very light on the veggies. But the tofu was perfectly done. The fresh spring rolls were ok, but a bit bland. The peanut sauce helped with that. The pot stickers were quite good. My guess is some of these things were light or missing to save money. I realize many restaurants have had a very tough couple years. read more

Fresh ingredients = tasty dishes. I love the spring rolls, but they have a stronger fresh herb taste than some other places. All the curry dishes I've had from here have been really quite good. The fried rice dish that I had was a little plain and bland, not much protein in it. This is a really good option for Thai in this area read more

This spot exceeded my expectations! We recently just moved back to Minnesota and have found a hard time finding true spicy food but the spice ratings here were very accurate. I got the hot spice rating and it was great.. might even do Thai Hot next time. This will be our new go to spot for Thai! I got the Drunken Noodles with Broccoli and Tofu and Cream Cheese Wontons. The wontons had the perfect amount of cream cheese! read more

Delicious food but severely lacking in the service department. Took 40 minutes to get our food while new patrons consistently kept having appetizers delivered. Seemed like those got the priority without regard as to when previous patrons arrived. Water carafe and soda sat empty for half of the meal and were never refilled. Waitress only checked on the table once she saw that we were done eating. read more

This is my 3rd try here, give smaller restaurants a chance, strike out. Crispy chicken Egg rolls are "kids" menu nothing, don't bother, crispy fried roll about the size of a small finger. (green face) Got one star, because the pad See yew was OK, lacking in vegetables. we counted 5 little pieces, looked for any eggs, plan on a "noodle" dinner only. Tom Yum Soup, medium was nothing and lacked flavor.For what you are charged here, I'll move on. read more

Loved the relaxing atmosphere here. We could hear the wok from the kitchen mixing the the delicious pad thai and curry we ordered.there are personalized tea pots and very light and controlled spice levels. I would've loved to have a spicier dish but will have to ask for thai spicy next time. read more

We were super hungry and sat down ready for a great experience. The party next to us was seated 15 minutes after us. They had their food BEFORE us. One person in our party had their soda empty for over 10 minutes. The beer was always filled somewhat quickly because it adds to the tab. The food was ok but the service was so slow! The portions are pretty small as well. I don't understand why you order quickly and still have such slow service. There's plenty of places in the area you can choose. I would go here if you like second rate service and slow service. I'm not the first or last person to share this review for this place. Slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!! Fill my soda!!! We just got our food and the table next to us is about to pay and leave. This place will not succeed with service like this. read more

My company ordered Lotus Leaf for carry-out during the week. As others here have mentioned, up until now, there had not been a decent Thai food option in Eden Prairie. Lotus Leaf has changed that. The food we all had was excellent. The only downside I can see is the prices are a tad on the high side, at least for my liking. All of the dishes were clearly freshly-prepared, with quality ingredients. The Egg Rolls were outstanding and actually a pretty good value. They were hearty and had plenty of meat. Two of us ordered the Spicy Basil Fried Rice with Beef. This dish was big enough to share, assuming you also ordered an appetizer. Great flavor in the dish. I would have liked to see a bit more to the fried rice -- it felt slightly too one-dimensional, like there wasn't enough diversity being added to the dish's flavor profile. But all in all, a satisfying dish. read more

This place was recommended to me by my cousin, she lives nearby, I'm so jelly! I was really impressed by the flavors of the food and the service was great! We noticed they get a lot of take-out business. We ordered the Pad Thai (chicken and shrimp) and also ordered the curry fried rice with both chicken and shrimp. The shrimp were legitimate large shrimp, there seemed to be a good protein to carb ratio in our dishes. Spice level was consistent with how we ordered (medium/mild)... portions were easy to share between 2 people! Overall I would definitely be back! Both servers were very sweet & polite! They checked in often and were very helpful! read more
