What gorgeous drinks and amazing beach-side view for a recent visit for girl chat with a bestie. Also, last time I came for Pho with my friends to celebrate getting 3rd in a Jiu Jitsu Competition and it was a perfect hearty meal, delish and filling. Will be back. read more

I have been meaning to try this place for a while, especially since I work in the area, and I'm so glad we finally stopped in. We came by on a Sunday late afternoon for what we thought would be a quick dinner, and it ended up being such a lovely meal. We ordered the pad thai, pad kee mao, banh xeo, and the mango trout. Even though the restaurant was fairly busy, everything came out in a timely manner and tasted so fresh and thoughtfully prepared. One thing I really appreciated was how flavorful and tender the meats were in each dish. You could tell the proteins were marinated and cared for before being added in, instead of just tossed into a noodle dish as an afterthought like I've experienced at other places. It made such a difference. The mango trout was such a standout. The trout was a great size, and the mango was firm, crunchy, and fresh, which I absolutely loved. The banh xeo was also delicious: thin, crispy, and served with fresh herbs that weren't wilted at all. The nuoc mam was perfect too, not overly sweet, light, balanced, and just right with the banh xeo. Portions were generous, and we ended up taking food home because we couldn't finish everything. That is always a good problem to have. Most of all, I really want to mention how welcoming the service was. Lynda took such great care of us and made the whole experience feel warm and personal. You can tell this is a place with heart behind it, and I truly hope more people in the neighborhood give it a try. It's not easy running a small business, especially in a beautiful but busy area like Alki, and restaurants like this deserve to be supported. We'll definitely be back. Thank you so much, Lynda, for such a wonderful meal and for making us feel so welcome! read more

Lotus on the Beach is located right across from Alki Beach and has nice views of the water. The inside decor is nice and the service is quick. I ordered a beef Pad see ew and the beef was amazingly tender. My only comment was that I wish it was a little more affordable. It would be great if they had a happy hour menu. read more

Lotus on The Beach - Pad See Ew with beef - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very cute restaurant, and good service. We came in mid day on a Saturday and it was pretty empty. Drinks were good and super cute! However, the food was just okay, and for the price point, didn't feel worth it. We ordered: Pad Thai- a little saucy and the noodles were a tad soggy Mango spring rolls- sounded interesting, but the flavors did not go well at all, especially with plain peanut sauce. I'd suggest a chilli sauce or something along those lines. Probably wouldn't return for food, but I'd definitely comeback back for a cute cocktail! read more

We called ahead to see if they had space for a group of 9 on a busy Sunday, and they were so accommodating. The drinks were great. I had the U-Babe which had great ube flavor but was still a bit strong. The non-alcoholic Guava Iced Tea was also delicious. All the food was incredible. The Kalbi and the Vietnamese Crepe (Banh Xeo) were my favorites. While everything is a bit expensive, it was all so delicious and well made, so I highly recommend. read more

We came on a Saturday for lunch. The staff were friendly and efficient in serving our food. I ordered the sizzling steak cubes, but they were not sizzling when served. I still liked how tender the beef was. The restaurant had a nice ambiance with spacious seating and lovely decor. Parking was free street parking in the Alki Beach area. read more

A really cute spot across from Alki beach in Seattle for drinks or Thai food. There is a long bar out front so you can sit outside and enjoy the views and weather, if amenable. We were waited on right away, and service was excellent. We opted just for drinks in the afternoon. My son got a Mai tai and I got a lychee martini. Both were very good. My son has also eaten here before, and he says the food is okay, albeit a little expensive, but to be expected right on the beach. Atmosphere is killer. I would definitely come back for dinner another time. read more

The portion sizes were a great value. Everything was delicious. The only thing I wish is that the mango would've been more finely shredded in the mango salad. The large chunks were fine, just not as enjoyable as it could've been. Food came out fairly quickly. Service was acceptable but nothing over the top. read more

The view at dusk over the water is astonishing and the food is wonderful. We ordered the yam fries and the pork belly and egg entree and they were both wonderful. Sweet potato fries can get soggy but their fries were the crispest I've ever had. The rice and pork belly were delicious and perfectly prepared but it was the hard boiled egg that blew me away with its savory smoothness. We also enjoyed a No-fashioned mocktail , an Irish Jack Black old fashioned and an exceptional mai tai. Finally, our waiter was sweet, helpful and had several good suggestions. read more

This is a great place to bring visitors when hanging out on Alki. The food was excellent both times I've been. This time, we ordered the Mango Summer Roll, Crispy Garlic Tofu (I'm *obsessed* with this!), Pad See Ew, Pad Kee Mao, Beef Salad, and Pork Fried Rice. Everyone loved their food. There is also an outdoor seating area with a decent view of the water. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great food and personable staff. We had an excellent time. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere.

My husband and I enjoyed our dinner at Lotus on the Beach. We took the water taxi to West Seattle, then an Uber to the Alki Beach boardwalk. The location is ideal when visiting Alki Beach. The service was personable, attentive, and welcoming. The food was fresh, delicious, and flavorful. We ordered the Lotus sampler and the Vietnamese Steak and Egg. Both were very delicious. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Seattle. read more

East meets West's and Franks taste glands today. Droped by for some lunch and let The Power Asian flavors dance on my tongue. Well I engaged with an appetizer of Chicken Dumplings. A plate of 5 dumplings placed in light tangy sauce, and must share I enjoyed very much. Next was my entree of Pork Chop & Fried Rice. I'm always a fan of the chops but these were exceptionally amazing. The chef has done something special and changed the way I look at pork chops. These were thing cut and cooked in some kinda special sauce . Keep in mind it wasn't a heavy sauce but it just coated the pork and enhanced it. BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO on a new way to early swine. Aside from the sensational tasting cuisine the view is spectacular. I had a front row seat to a view of Puget Sound from my table and was able to enjoy a Majestic spring day with blue sky's and flowers blooming. You can dine inside or at bar but when the weather changes multiple tables outside will open up. Very pleasant staff greeting me as I walked in. Also my order from when I ordered to delivery was less than 10 minutes. Now that's my awesome dining experience as I tasted it! read more

We had an awesome meal at lotus on the beach! We sat outside on the front patio overlooking the sidewalk and got to enjoy people watching while we had yummy cocktails and food! Their noodle dishes were perfectly cooked, nice chewy noodles- and the sauces were delicious! Service was good as well. A gem on Alki for sure! read more

Eaten here twice now and I keep forgetting to take pictures of the food! Once it arrives, it looks so good I just start to eat it. You'll have to trust me that it taste delicious and the portions are great too. When you dine on a sunny day, the views of the beach are fabulous too. Food took a while to come out, but it was worth it. read more

This place is right by Alki beach which is nice! We got the chicken wings with sweet chili garlic sauce which was flavorful. The crab fried rice and pad thai were also pretty good! The tom kah was a little too sweet and thick for me, but the flavor overall was good. My favorite order has to be the drinks!! We got the U-Babe and Hawaiian soda.

A perfect beachside gem by Alki. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared--exactly what you want when dining by the water. Every dish tasted light yet satisfying, with high-quality ingredients that really stood out. Pair that with the ocean breeze, stunning sunset views, and relaxed atmosphere, and it makes for an unforgettable experience. Whether you're stopping by after a walk on the beach or planning a sunset dinner, this place delivers both great food and an unbeatable location. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy good eats with a beautiful view. Plus, service is amazing! read more

Context: Family of 4 including 2 young kiddos wanting to celebrate moms birthday with dinner after a beach day. We had a great time! I made reservations the day of for dinner at 5 on a Sunday. Not too crowded fortunately. The ambiance was welcoming, friendly but also a hint of fancy and new! The staff was wonderful, everyone was kind. We got a nice booth by the front. The kiddos got crayons and coloring sheet. Great views if you're by the windows. The outdoor seating is bar seats essentially, great for adults who enjoy people watching. My wife and I loved our drinks! I got the Lotus on the beach and my wife got the U-Babe. I drank mine quickly since it was delicious and refreshing. We enjoyed all we ordered, including the Mango spring rolls, Chicken lettuce wraps, tofu yellow curry and Rockfish. The mango spring rolls were our favorite of em all, a must order for apps! Unfortunately they don't have a dessert menu. We'll be back! read more

I think this place is a solid 3.5. The food is decent but nothing that stood out to me or super memorable. It's a nice and small aesthetic pleasing restaurant located right next to the water. Which is great for date night or hanging out with friends. I know this place is marketed as a high end Asian fusion place and usually I'm not a big fan of fusion places since it's like okay...but I had high expectations because of the hype around here. But the food didn't meet my expectations. I definitely think the appies were were really good tho but the mains were lackingg. read more

Monday 12/1/25 5:30pm 3 other 2 tops at the time. After all the hype about this place, we decided to give it a try. We love Thai food, and from what we've heard, our expectations were high. The Food- We had Crab Rangoon, Crispy Chicken egg-rolls, Crispy Garlic Chicken, shrimp Panang Curry, and Phad Thai. I love when all the food comes out 1 dish at a time, but also with in 1 minute of each other all the way through the order, with little or no time to enjoy anything and a crowded table with full plates. We ordered Apps and drinks, 15 min later we ordered entrees. So no, not all at once. Crab Rangoon wrappers were soft except the tips, but also all different shades of doneness with bits of black fryer bits stuck to them , very strange. Egg-Rolls were all evenly cooked, but dry and tasteless filling.. couldn't get past the dirty fryer oil. There is only 1 place that should be serving Crispy Garlic chicken, and it's not this flavorless, lifeless, tempura coated chicken scrap with a sugar based sauced, place. You all know where to get good Crispy Garlic Chicken in West Seattle. Even weirder than the Crab Rangoon, was the Panang Curry with its gritty, peanut butter texture. This texture of the curry was a first for us. Phad Thai... completely missed at least 3 of the 5 flavor profiles needed to make good Phad Thai, even squeezing every drop of lime juice from the wedge, it remained lifeless and dull. **No question as to hot spicy we would like anything, because applying dry crushed chili at the table just doesn't cut it. ** No sliced Thai chilis in Fish Sauce available (serious red flag) I know it's "fusion" but what is it fused with? Vietnamese.. hmmm ** Stone cold plates, one would think they took the plates directly out of the freezer and put hot food on them. This is not an exaggeration, I commented to the server as soon as I took the plate from her... because no where to put it in the table, until we did the crowded table shuffle. **No refill on water, (we sat behind the host desk, so the could clearly see we were on E with the water. Do you get a lot of food? Yes you do, is it the same amount as every other Asain restaurant.. yes. We honestly wanted to enjoy this new, locally owner Alki Restaurant, but it just wasn't good. P.S. I would suggest ordering your entrees once you have FINISHED your appetizers and the plates have been cleared. read more

Wonderful addition to Alki Beach. The food is phenomenal and the drinks absolutely yumm! We went on a Sunday afternoon and got a table by their huge windows overlooking the beach. So beautiful! We got the fried tofu, fresh rolls, Vietnamese pancake and one of the vegetarian stir fries. Everything was very flavorful and beyond amazing! For drinks we got the U-Babe and Mister Tan. Both were so darn good. The waiter/bartender was very friendly and checked on us quite often. They don't take reservations on the weekend. Maybe that will change! Absolutely worth the trek to West Seattle. A few more vegetarian dishes on the menu would make me want to be a regular here! read more

Came here with a group of 6 while we were taking a day trip to Alki Beach. I discovered this place through a mutual and what attracted me were their vibrant drinks. Lotus on The Beach serves elevated Asian food. My group ordered two Banh Xeo, two Brisket Beef Udon, and one Golden Nest. They were all fairly delicious. I really liked how big their Banh Xeo was, it was nice and crispy. For drinks we got Spring in Tokyo, U-Babe, Lychee's Cosmopolitan, and a Cos-no-politan. The drinks were the selling point like I said earlier. My Spring in Tokyo had foamy jelly cherry blossom flowers. It was sweet and just to my liking. Everyone else's drinks were phenomenal too. Looking forward to come here during another trip to Alki and maybe I'll just get the drinks! read more

We needed more Asian fusion cuisine on Alki Beach so I'm glad to see that Lotus opened. This is an Asian fusion restaurant that blends traditional Asian ingredients, dishes, and techniques. Everything was delicious and flavorful. We were impressed with their meticulous attention to detail in every dish, from the finely chopped scallions beautifully layered on the rockfish to the slice of orange on the chicken wings dish. WHAT WE ATE: Mango Summer Roll with Shrimp Lotus Sampler Chicken Wings with Habanero Lotus Special Salad Phad Kee-Mao Lemongrass Rockfish And here's the kicker: they have one of the best cocktail menus in town! You may find some old favorites, but most were unique to them. My personal favorite was the Oahu Plum and Mango and Green Ocha-Tini. No details were overlooked in each drink. The interior is modern yet warm and inviting, with some Asian elements. You can come in for a meal or just enjoy the drinks at the lounge! The staff were friendly and attentive. read more

This place was amazing, went here for lunch. Had the shrimp/mango spring rolls & Tofu which were both flavorful with each bite. The wife & I shared the fried rice w/ pork chops which was enough for both of us. This dish was amazing as well. Service was excellent. Not sure if the owner was taking care of us , he was very polite & engaging. If you are ever in this area give this place a try. Definitely will be back. read more

While visiting Seattle I had the opportunity to stop by Lotus on the Beach. I needed a snack to get me by until dinner. I had the coconut shrimp appetizer, which was cooked nearly perfectly as they are crispy, well-seasoned, not to much coconut just enough. I had to hurry into a meeting, I was unable to try the main courses, but the appetizers certainly left a strong impression. The cocktails, thoughtfully crafted and visually appealing, with creativity that matched their impressive taste. We had the Spring in Tokyo and Fire for Effect. (Smoked Old Fashioned with maple). The service was attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance was nice, offering a welcoming yet sophisticated environment. I look forward to returning when I have more time to explore the menu further. This is certainly a restaurant I would recommend and I definitely want to return to for dinner. read more
