The green papaya salad was strange had different (more) spices than most places. It's a dish I make at home several times a year and order out often. Tim thought it tasted more like kimchi... The shrimp we added were the best part. The Thom Kha was inedible, strangely salty, coconut milk separated and grainy, it tasted as strange as it looked. Thehicken had an odd texture. We sent it back and it was offered to be taken off the bill. It didn't taste like any other Thom kha I've ever eaten. The green curry chicken had good flavor, the veggies were cooked nicely, but the chicken again had an odd texture not sure if there coating it in something like cornstarch before the typical poach? Rice served with it was mushy and really unappealing. The food was expensive for what it was. Around $20 a dish and honestly the food was not something I would order again. The service was on top of it, and that made it 3 stars. It has really good reviews. I don't know if we ordered wrong? I should have noted the Pan Asian description as a warning But meh

Seems like they do more take out with a table by the front door for door dash. Back door was open letting in a cool breeze. Seated quickly. Friendly server. Dining area was clean. Ordered boba teas which were ok, but some of my boba were crumbly as if they hadn't fully softened. Tasted watered down. Started with edamame which was generously salted, and salted again for good measure. Beans were cooked well. Tried the Tom Kha which looked nice but was pretty bland and seemed to be missing some zing, lemongrass? Tom Yum was better but also missing some tartness. Tried the green papaya salad which seemed to have all the elements (don't always see the tiny dried shrimps) but was also generously salted, almost inedible. Tried the Pad Thai which was so-so. Also bland with a gravy like sauce. Good amount of shrimp. No egg? Tried the red curry with chicken, satisfactory. Tried the Thai fried rice, satisfactory. Tried the Kra-Pow. Very salty. Egg was over done.

We got red curry, pad Thai, tempura veggies, and chicken satay. All of them were incredible and the portions were so big, we had leftovers for a couple more meals. The staff is nice and the prices are reasonable. My only "complaint" - and it's not even a complaint - is that the food is dry when reheated. We didn't have that issue when we ate in the restaurant though, nor when we did takeout to eat during a working lunch.

Looking for food in VT at 8:30pm on a Friday night in April shouldn't be difficult. But alas,…read moretonight it was very difficult. Saw this little gem on Yelp and decided to give it a try. It was 9pm and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The staff were courteous and attentive and our waitress was very sweet. We didn't have to wait too long for our food and it was delicious. The sesame chicken was beautifully plated, complete with an edible orchid. The kung pao chicken and pepper steak came as you would expect so my husband and I teased the waitress about why we didn't get special plates with edible flowers. She was cute. The food was delicious and the portions just the right size. My husband asked for his king pao extra spicy and it definitely was not- but it's ok cause then we didn't mind sharing with him. I had the pepper steak and it was tender and flavorful. Everything was really good. If we lived nearby, we'd make it our go-to Panasian spot!

An excellent find! The menu is SO large you'd think they couldn't handle it, and perhaps they can't…read morebut certainly they nailed both of our orders. One Thai (eggplant) and one from Shaanxi China region (Biang Biang). I ordered the Biang Biang extra spicy but I'm guessing they didn't believe me. It was tasty but regular spice level. It's clear that there were actual Szechuan peppers in it - characteristic tingle effect. Which is nice to see now that the US has decided they're not poison after all. The braised eggplant with Thai basil (hence known as basil eggplant in most Thai restaurants) was creamy in texture and rich in flavor. The meal started with hot and sour soup, which was surprising. The cup was quite large and the soup was absolutely packed with ingredients. Tofu, wood ear mushrooms, lily buds and more. Super satisfying, although I ordered a side of black vinegar to get it a bit more sour. The prices were super reasonable for normal portions but the portions weren't normal - they were HUGE. Half the noodles went home with me as well as half the braised eggplant. Hard to see how they support such huge portions without correspondingly huge prices.

At the time of this posting, the menu here was very limited with a few Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese selections including noodle dishes, rice bowls, fried rice, soup, fried appetizers, pupu platter, and cold drinks. The menu plans to be expanded including combination platters. I stopped by The White Lotus very recently for takeout after placing an online order via Clover. My order was ready within 10 minutes. I ordered the Cambodian Beef Lok Lak Rice Bowl ($15.99 plus tax) and a small order of Pork/Shrimp Egg Rolls (4 for $4,99 plus tax). The Cambodian Beef Lok Lak Rice Bowl had tender grilled pieces of marinated beef steak, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, lime & black pepper sauce over soft white rice. This bowl was a great choice and the beef had nice flavors. The 4 egg rolls were actually like spring rolls, very crispy with shredded cabbage, carrot, ground pork/shrimp, very greasy though. I would return here when the menu is expanded and more combination platters besides appetizer platters are offered.

Opened in December of'24 where China Maxim formerly was, The White Lotus offers Asian cuisine that differs from what we've become expect from a "standard Chinese" restaurant. Crab Rangoon - soft pillows with crispy edges hold a delicious filling that has the right amount of filling and texture. A little hint of sherry (?) give them a delicious flavor Chicken Wings - initially cooked like a traditional style (for around here anyway) but then tossed in a delicious light sauce. Get these! Lotus Fried Rice - like a house fried rice but with Chinese sausage (lap-xuong). I found this delicious and packed with non-rice ingredients.

The best part about our visit to East of Suez was the somewhat uniqueness of the venue: a home turned into a restaurant. The menu was big. Too big in my opinion. I was a bit overwhelmed with choices, but ended up getting the Tonkatsu Jaeger Schnitzel. The pork cutlet did not taste freshly made - likely prepared hours before and reheated. The panko breading was damp even on the parts not touching the mushroom cream sauce. The sauce itself was so bland, and tasted like canned mushroom soup. Sadly, I cannot recommend it based on my experience and knowing how difficult it was to get a reservation here.
