Briana V.

I got the pad de ew that had great flavor and the noodles tasted fresh. I would say that the portion size with the cost of the dish does not add up in my opinion. I feel like this Thai restaurant was a little bit on the pricer side. I would've loved to see the portion size be a bit bigger due to the cost of the dish. But overall, the food was good. Customer service was very nice and there's plenty of parking.

Shrimp chips - on the house
Ashley W.

Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Duck noodle soup: 3/5 Mango sticky rice: 3/5 I'm used to a more flavorful duck noodle soup so this one was a bit lacking for me. The soup by itself is good but with the rice noodle it falls a bit flat. There was a decent amount of noodle and duck but the duck pieces were pretty small. I might have liked it better if there were bigger slices. Mango sticky rice - some of the rice was a bit hard and I wasn't a fan of the hard yellow topping as it gets stuck in my teeth but I think that topping may be the more traditional dish. The mango wasn't super sweet but it still tasted good. Honestly after reading some reviews I was worried I'd be walking into an empty restaurant but I was pleasantly surprised to see some customers and it also seems they had some regulars coming in to pick up orders. Service was great, the food came out quick. The added chicken sample boosted the service rating as well since that was a cute surprise. I overheard the table behind me ordering while warning the server of their allergies to shrimp, peanut, cilantro and some other things and the server patiently gave recommendations. I would say the items on the menu do seem a bit pricier than normal...

Coconut soup.

The food was absolutely amazing. The chicken Laab was refreshing not too spicy. The rice noodles with gravy and pork just melted in your mouth. The pork could easily have been misconstrued as chicken because it was so soft and tender. The coconut soup with shrimp was delicious and they even took out all the lemongrass so it made it easy to eat. The service was awesome as well super friendly. It's a super cute place as well. Nice ambience. Highly recommend!

FRESH ROLL TOFU
Lauren W.

Dropped in to Lotus Thai for a quick lunch and it was delicious! We were seated right away and were able to order quickly. The fresh rolls were so fresh and delicious with a thick peanut sauce. We also got the pad Thai which really hit the spot. Overall the service was lovely, the restaurant was beautiful and the food was great! Looking forward to coming back!

$60 with of food. Not worth it at all.

Portions are so small, don't order from here if you are actually hungry. Yellow curry and drunken noodles are appetizers size.

Lotus Thaai at Redding CA lotusthaai.com careful about overcharging
Bertina r.

Food was ok! But they overcharged my friends and me when we went there for a later lunch on the way to Mount Shasta, and the lady was really nice. She didn't give the bill on the table; we didn't pay at the cashier, and we forgot about it. Then, when we went back, we stopped by again for lunch, and she overcharged again. We didn't ask for the receipt on the card. My friend checked her bank account and went online to check the prices and reviews, and a lot of people complained about the overcharging. I went to my bank account; I paid $39.something for one Pad Thai of $17.95. I gave a 20% tip plus tax, and the second time I ate sticky rice for $15 and iced coffee for $7, plus another 20% tip and tax. She charged $39 something too, and all my 6 friends were the same! I can't prove we didn't get the receipt for that; I just want to advise you! On the GPS, it was the best one!!

By far the best restaurant I've been at sense moving to Redding. Thank you for the amazing meal.read more

We were strolling on Yelp to find a place to grab dinner while staying in Redding for a day. We…read morestumbled on this place. Looked through their menu online and decided to give them a try. Located in the Placer Heights Plaza, next to Starbucks. Same plaza as Holiday Market and CVS Pharmacy. We were seated immediately as they were not busy. The menu was a bit different than online. Our server came to take our order. He didn't introduce himself and seemed like he didn't want to be there. We decided on the fried green tomatoes, fried chicken sandwich and catfish po' boy. When the po' boy came out, we thought it was burnt! We didn't know the catfish will be blackened by default. We thought it will be fried since it is a po' boy. The options can be blackened or fried based on the menu online. We were not given those options by our server. They brought out the food but didnt provide utensils until minutes later. Fried green tomatoes: It was good. Fried perfectly. The dressing that was tossed with the side salad was super salty. Catfish po' boy: Fish was tender but super salty as well. Fried chicken sandwich: Pretty good sandwich. Chicken was huge. The fries was so soggy, not crispy at all. Also very greasy. We were a bit disappointed as we drove out of our way to try this place. Nice ambiance though. I felt I was a bit underdressed lol

Karline's Restaurant in Redding is so great. Out favorite is their bread. I could just eat that,…read morebut don't the rest of the menu is wonderful. For starters we had steamed clams, calamari and meatballs. For our mains we decided on their Bistro Filet Ravioli, which has Ricotta, Romano, Parmesan, and Asiago jumbo stuffed raviolis, creamy alfredo, chili flakes, topped with their signature pan-seared bistro filet tips. It was amazing. We also had their Ribeye steak at about $53.00. I think it was a 14oz hand-cut ribeye, and it had the best butter on it. It came with mashed Yukon potatoes and marinated asparagus. We will be getting all of this again. We were staying in a hotel so took home some great pasta. The service is great. The food is amazing and the place is just so cute and ever so clean.

I really wanted to love this place. I had high hopes after reading the reviews and seeing the…read morephotos of the food on their online menu. However, I was extremely disappointed with my entrée. I ordered the chicken Marsala and it was so bland I was actually shocked. How could nothing on the plate have any flavor? I added salt and pepper twice and that didn't even help. The vegetables had zero seasoning. The mashed potatoes had huge chunks in them and zero seasoning. The chicken and Marsala sauce, tasteless. I saw so many reviews raving about the chicken Marsala. Maybe they got a new cook because the sauce was basically just heavy cream didn't look anything like other pictures people posted. My husband got the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were very good and had lots of flavor but the marinara was also quite bland and the garlic bread was a joke. It was toasted bread with a smidge of butter, no garlic whatsoever. I will not go back for the price. Definitely not worth it. The fried artichokes and salad were good, but the entree is the most important part and they totally dropped the ball. Very disappointing.

Can't go with a large party they separate you with two cooks totally opposite sides. It's like not even being in the same group of people. 2. They do not provide you with very much food at all in the Teppanyaki. It says you get an appetizer and that consisted of two shrimp. Lol 3. The first waiter that we had that was taking our drink order and took our meal order had such a heavy accent. It didn't even sound like he was speaking English. I ordered a more expensive sake, and he proceeded to explain to me how it was pointless to get the more expensive sake when I can get the cheapest sake for the same thing. So I tried it and the cheap cheapest saki is disgusting! 4. When I got my portion of the bill which was my meal and my daughter's meal it was over $80 and they added themselves in 18% gratuity. They said it was because we were in a large party but again we were not! We couldn't even communicate with half of our party. 5. And the last thing that pissed me off the most is that they get you in and out in one hour. They totally rushed us!! They were taking our plates on our side because the other side got their food first and they were done so they started rushing the people that were on our side.
