Lotus Thai will hit the spot just not fully authentic. My Thai Basil was missing the Thai basil and for me that is a big miss. You can grow Thai basil under a lamp inside if needed. Anyway, I understand as it's the MW and some ingredients are hard to find. Here's my three things: 1) Staff was kind and food tasted good. I was seated immediately and checked on regularly. 2) Fried rolls had a nice crunch and the sweet chili sauce was perfect. 3) I do appreciate lots of veggies to equal the protein for that I give 5 stars because less than 10% of places do that. read more

Lotus Thai and Sushi - Spring Rolls (2 pcs), Green Tea Pot, and Basil(Dinner Portion) - Thai Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Ordered hot and iced tea, both were water. This place has sushi in the name but almost everything, like 90%, is tempura. On top of that they don't have much selection. We came on a Saturday, not busy and 20 min later we are still waiting. Walls are dirty, scratched like the Wolverine was here. read more

this is my FAV restaurant tbd. 100% authentic and delish. the main chef is amazing and will do anything to make sure your order comes out perfect! i always feel welcome here. truly a staple in our diet! read more

My husband and I stopped in Lotus Thai and Sushi before a show at the Aronoff. He wasn't feeling great, so he didn't order anything, but I got some pad see ew and a California sesame roll with a side of spicy mayo. The food came out quickly. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. I'd eat here again, but would try a different noodle dish. My noodles were mostly all stuck together and the sauce was sweeter than what I'm used to in a pad see ew. The service was good. We got 15% off our meal with a Yelp check in offer. The restaurant was cute with a photo opp wall in the back. read more

Had a crave for som Thai while visiting Cincinnati on business. The Pad Thai was delicious. The Som Tum was also very fresh. It took a little extra time to prepare the food but, the staff was really great at keeping tabs on everything. Definitely will eat here again when I'm back in the city. read more

We were visiting Cincy and had a taste for Thai takeout at our Airbnb. We ordered a variety of curries and Pad Thai. The food was OK. Nothing particularly special but with the variety and quality of Thai food we normally get, it is hard to live up. read more

Met some friends for lunch and the service was top notch! I had hot tea as I waited and appreciated the generous supply of honey and lemon. We had such a good time eating we forgot to take pictures - overall a great time was had in a great space. read more

Food taste was great! We ordered PAD THAI with shrimp and massaman. But we ordered thru DoorDash and it took this place over an hour to prepare. Our delivery guy waited a while. Entree came hot, but the rice and crab Rangoon showed up cold. read more

Went here for lunch with some coworkers and had a wonderful green curry that had the perfect spice. Nice cozy place with good service and good food. read more

Absolutely delicious food! The establishment was clean, including restrooms and the aesthetic was super nice. It wasn't what I'd call "upscale" but casual and cozy. Our waitress was super nice and friendly and she made me and my husband feel welcomed and at home. This is a 3hr drive but we will be back! read more

Lotus Thai and Sushi - Massaman Curry with chicken - Thai Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Some of the only decent Thai / Asian food in downtown Cincinnati. The pad Thai and pad see ew are both good and it's a great portion size.

Pad Thai and red curry were both AMAZING. Place was visually nice but got loud very quickly, even with only 3-4 tables full. Please get some sound panels or something. Waitress was very nice and attentive. They made the curry way too spicy for "mild" and did take it back fix it without a fuss. *garage or street parking required read more

I spent $30+ on a takeout order for me and my coworker at $15 each only get half of the order of 5 pieces each and was told to pick up a free order on the following business day to compensate ..only to call and for them to say I received the right order the first time??! I was robbed out of $30 to only receive 10 pieces of mid azz sushi??! Only 5 pieces of which I got to consume? & it was NOTHING like advertised on the online menu???! will NEVER be back ... Keep your money! Get better sushi elsewhere read more

Haven't tried the food so who knows, could be fabulous. Heard good things so my team at work had put in a group order about 2 hours before we were looking to eat. Lotus had not cancelled the order or notified us that they were not servicing door dash orders until the driver had been waiting there for a while to pick it up and the dasher had to message us letting us know. Life lesson: do not door dash from Lotus Thai and Sushi. read more

Went to Lotus Thai and Sushi on 4th Street for lunch today. We arrived at 11:35 and we seated almost immediately. We ordered after a few minutes. I ordered Chicken Thai Spicy and my associate ordered soup and pork Ramrung. We got to talking. 25 minutes later we still had no food. I complained and once they were alerted to the problem we had our food quickly. Our waitress was the hostess and go stuck up front helping deal with takeout and door dash orders. The food was fabulous with great flavor and just the right amount of spice!! The quantity was perfect for lunchtime too. I definitely recommend Lotus but make sure you have a little extra time until they hire another waitress/waiter. read more

Lotus Thai and Sushi - Lunch portion of Chicken Thai Spicy for $9. Very good! - Thai Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is a very casual place, perfect for lunch. We tried chicken pho, three sushi rolls, and two desserts. Pho was good and tasted light and fresh. The rolls we got were kimchi (surprisingly interesting flavor!), honeybee (deliciously rich) and MPS (very good, simple combo of flavors), all of which were presented beautifully! We weren't wowed with any of them, however we were delighted with the desserts: fried bananas and mango sticky rice hit the spot. The staff was very nice and welcoming. read more

Opening week synchronizing aside (they need to get their "system" in place so that everything runs a little more smoothly), the food (Crab Rangoon appetizer, chicken Pad Thai) was very good and the price was fair. Servers are super friendly but a little stressed right now and it shows, kitchen struggles to keep up with the rush-demand and that shows too, so don't be in a hurry until they iron those out, but IMO it's a good Thai food choice at this end of downtown. read more

We really loved Lotus. The pad thai was outstanding. I was super sad they were not open on Sunday so I could get more. Fried rice was tasty too. Reasonably priced delicious takeout. read more

We dined in at evening. We got three sushi rolls, pho, and wonton soup. The only downside I had about this was that I didn't have enough broth for my noodles in my pho, plus some of the noodles were sticking together. They still are receiving five stars because of the camaraderie had between us. Our server was very kind and so was the man who made our sushi. We had come in when they had a photographer taking pictures of their food. We were offered free ice cream, and any sample of any of the dishes that came out. I definitely will have to check this place out again when I come back into town. It is a decent sized place with quite a bit of seating. read more

I have not had Massaman Curry in a very long time. When I heard about Lotus Thai and Sushi, I decided to give them a try. Two words: Worth It! Lotus Thai and Sushi offer several different dishes from curry, rice, noodle and sushi. I ordered the Massaman Curry with tofu online, which made the process quick and easy. I arrived to the Lotus Thai and Sushi storefront restaurant, and was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness. Everything was very neat, clean and comfortable. The woman who got my order together was very friendly and answered all my questions. From the first bite to the last, my food was hot (temperature), flavorful and delicious! I can truly say I enjoyed my dish and can't wait to visit again. I HIGHLY recommend trying this place out. You will be glad you did. read more

Really enjoyed this new spot! Perfect for lunch and they're able to make many dishes gluten free! I ordered the pad kee mao with chicken and veggies (ask specifically for gf if needed). The medium spice level had a good kick. My friends ordered curry and were happy with their dishes as well. Great to have another option for days when working downtown - will definitely be back to try more of menu! read more

Lotus Thai and Sushi - Pad Kee Mao - Thai Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Lotus Thai and Sushi is a great place to dine in or grab takeout. I did the latter, and I received my filling portions of food promptly at the time that I arrived. The papaya salad and pad thai were filling and tasty. In particular, papaya salad is an amazing dish on its own. When accompanied by a large serving of pad thai, one is in for a good dinner. read more

I come to the restaurant for lunch 1-2 times a week , and the service is always slow. Today especially was the case. I was seated almost immediately, drink came pretty quickly, but after almost 35 minutes of waiting for my food a table that came in after me was served before me and I had to leave. This isn't the first time this has happened where my food was delivered after other table s They also prioritize DoorDash/Uber Eats orders over people sitting in the restaurant which creates a bad experience generally speaking. I would give a pass if the restaurant was super busy , but it wasn't. Given this is a continuation of prior experiences. I've decided not to return , losing a pretty regular customer who likes to support local business means when colleagues come from out of town they will lose that business as well because I won't recommend them. Sad but true .. So long Lotus .. Too many issues , over and over. read more

So delicious!!! Cleanest, plumpest, most yummy shrimp I've ever been served anywhere!! Great friendly staff, clean & cute dining area, highly recommend this place!! It's the best new spot in Cincinnati. read more

Zero star - the worst service ever~ I ordered crab fried rice and literally there was no crab me, it felt like am eating carrots and peas. The lady looks like the owner(Thai) took my plate to the server and showed to chef and brought back the same plate, who does that!! taking away your eating plate. she said we minced crab meat no maa'm literally there is no crab meat!!!! she was lying... and had to pay full amount for the for carrots and egg. am sorry for posting this during holidays! But boy if they want just money am going to give them same.......The attitude they have IS if not you we have others. Plus the portion size is very petite and long wait in general. read more

Clean and Tasty!! Open on Saturday in downtown Cincinnati!! Service pleasant and professional. Ambiance could be more intimate but was cozy enough!! read more

3 stars is ONLY cuz of the flavor, nothing else. I definitely don't recommend the orange chicken Overall, the flavor has been consistently good of the four dishes I've tried, however the orange chicken was incredibly dry and was comparable to microwaved leftovers. Poor Experience: Friday night, 2 hours before close and I couldn't connect with them via phone; Rang twice then silence. I then spent the time to place an order on doordash, and 2 minutes after placing the order, it was cancelled due to the restaurant "not being able to fulfill the order." Went there to order in person and they said they just "turned off" door dash for the night ... and they were taking carry out only. Just super inconvenient in every way. Got home, and the rice container was only half full, which is just odd. Very little rice. HOWEVER, the asparagus and shrimp special was very good. So it might just depend on what you order. read more

I'm visiting from NY and I have to say "What an amazing place!" The Sushi and Fried Rice were incredible and I cant wait to try some of the other menu choices. The only thing better than the food is the friendly service. Warm and caring people that try and make you feel welcome. Thank you for making my visit enjoyable! read more

I have tried about 6-7 of the Thai dishes, each was excellent--lots of flavor, even when you get the dish mild. When they first opened service was slow, but they are fast now and their online ordering/pick up system is fast, easy, and affordable for downtown lunch. I only hope they add a brown rice option for their curries! read more

What a find! Walking back to the hotel in Cincinnati, we found this place right around the corner! We had a early dinner/late lunch. Pad See Ew, and Pad Thai, with an amazing papaya salad to start. Service was friendly and prompt, and the owner was there preparing sushi rolls in the front. He had a lot of pride in his place and made sure were taken care of. Portions were plentiful, and the food was served hot and freshly prepared! High quality and absolutely delicious! Don't hesitate if you are looking for a casual Thai restaurant in downtown Cincy... read more

Super yummy I love coming here definitely worth the price and the employees are so nice they really know what they are doing the food is so good and I appreciate the fact they actually know what they are doing unlike most restaurants read more

This place is a must! Got the Chicken Thai Spicy as an entree (medium spice) and tried the Dragon, Spider, Honey Bee, and Lotus Paradise sushi rolls and they are some of the best around. This was all topped off by their homemade cookies and cream ice cream with fried banana and they were both 11/10. read more

I ordered a take-out of a chicken Pad Thai, nothing special. After waiting for 45 minutes, I asked to cancel the order and they kept saying, it needs manager and so on for another 15 minutes. I don't recommend unless you have three martini lunch time. Finally almost an hour they brought me the food but I don't have time to eat and I asked the refund not food for 15 minutes (should be more than enough time to cook a Pad Thai) read more

Great lunch, really nice staff and food was great, best Thai in the city. Great value

Fantastic pad thai. The fried rice is flavorful and interesting. Sushi is fresh and amazing. Do not miss the coconut ice cream!
