Orange chicken and fried rice
Jennifer S.

Staff are very friendly and offer great suggestions, service is quick even when busy, and the food was good for what we were looking for. I had the orange chicken and was wishing it had a little more sauce and depth of flavor, however it was crispy tasty chicken. If we are in the GSR and looking for a quick bite this is a casual spot we would revisit

Korean short ribs
Christine Y.

Came here with friends on a Saturday evening and it was pretty busy. Made a reservation beforehand so there wasn't a long wait to get seated. I never realized that they had the extra dining space in the center of the restaurant strip specifically for Rim. We were seated in the enclosed portion directly across from the Buffet. It had a nice decor to it with dimmed lighting but because it was enclosed, it was super noisy once it was packed with diners. A little difficult to enjoy conversations over a meal. Our server was great when it came to recommendations, friendliness, and taking our order. We ordered mojitos and a lychee lemon drop which were really good. They were delivered to our table right away but food took at least half an hour to arrive. My friends ordered sushi and green curry while I tried their Korean short ribs. We all enjoyed the food. The short ribs tasted pretty good, just not quite the same flavors as other Korean short ribs I've had elsewhere.

Celebrating Chinese New Year with my son and took advantage of the CNY menu and was very happy and satisfied. My son also ordered lobster fried rice and some sushi which both were delicious. It's been awhile since I've eaten here and I am impressed with the menu. Granted it has been about 7 years since the last time eating here for the only reason being there are other great restaurants here that compete. I loved the long life noodles and really loved the sea bass. Nicely spiced with scallions and ginger. Service was very fast. They were very busy on a Saturday night. We ate in the annexed area and it was pleasantly quieter.

Kung pao three delight
Emerald S.

My group decided to eat here since it's inside of GSR which an event we were going to was hosting so for ease of planning we made a reservation for this place. The main restaurant is tucked in a corner so there's not a lot of tables which is why they opened another section, across the way to accommodate bigger groups like mine. The restaurant itself was fine, decorated nicely and service was ok. I didn't think it was a crazy night but we didn't get checked on often which led us to not having any refilled water. The food wasn't great, I hate to say it. Seemed to be overpriced for what we got. The quality and taste was mid but the portions are generous. So don't set your expectations too high and I think you'll be fine. Also don't be fooled into upgrading your rice to fried rice. Multiple people in our group did upgrade and we had to share a small plate of fried rice. As opposed to keeping the steam rice where we each had our own portion. So overall thoughts, come here but know you're not getting stellar food and you're going to pay a premium for having the restaurant being conveniently located but it's nothing to rave about unfortunately.

Miso soup?
Brittany G.

I've tried this place several times and it just doesn't hit. Sushi is ok. Just ok, especially for the almost $50 AYCE price tag (which is only available at the sushi bar). Service is hard to come by. You'll have to wait 15-20 minutes for a drink refill. The lighting is also very dim. The item portions and quality are very different than most traditional sushi spots. Their miso soup for instance is HUGE. It's basically in a ramen bowl and lacks miso flavor. The sushi is very bland. Skip on the sashimi and raw fish. It's not fresh.The hand rolls are the only things worth eating. Salmon skin and spicy scallop ones are good. Come here at your own risk!

So we have been here before, and they put us in some room away from the restaurant...and the food was just OK. We were here for a Saturday comp, and decided we would give this one more try...I am glad we did this. This time they put us in the main restaurant, and it was so much better! We ordered two big Sapporos to start...I thought these were fairly priced...we were not terribly hungry so we split an order of beef chow fun and asked for it spicy. This was very good and plenty of food for us. I thought the beef was plentiful and the dish was very tasty. Our server was very good and seemed to not be bothered by our small order, especially on a Saturday night.

Kung Pao Chicken & Green Beans with Beef
Chris S.

Rim has been a staple in GSR for as long as I can remember though it's a struggle to understand why if the experience is consist with my own. Best aspect is that it's fairly well decorated, it's a clean aesthetic with a little Asian inspired flair. Unfortunately service can only be described as waiting. Every step of the dining process was more waiting than it was enjoying food or receiving menus/checks. I think it took about 2 hours to make it through a quick app and entree meal. Food was equally disappointing with the Kung Pao Chicken lacking any semblance of pow and hardly distinguishable from just corn syrup in taste and consistency. Shockingly the green beans were cooked excellently with a satisfying crunch but was accompanied with very gray beef. Overall it was too long and too much for too little experience.

Ube white chocolate cheese cake
Preet P.

This was our first time here with a group of four adults and two children (ages 10 and 7). The restaurant was very crowded on a weekend night, but we were able to get a reservation for 8 PM. Our table wasn't ready right away, and we were offered seats at the sushi bar, which we declined, so we waited a bit. I'm not a huge sushi fan compared to the rest of our group, so we didn't go for the unlimited sushi option--but it was absolutely worth it! We ordered a variety of dishes: the sashimi was fresh, the desserts were delicious ( Ube white chocolate cheese cake and mochi ice cream), and the service was top-notch. I even tried several sushi rolls though I forgot some of the names, and ended up liking them too. I added lots of pictures to capture everything. Overall, everything was great, and we had a wonderful experience.

Ube White Chocolate cheesecake
Sharan G.

Food was Ok, not very exciting compared to the price. Service was fast but they missed bringing ginger and small bowls for mixing soy sauce and wasabi. We received our sushi plates and wondered if they donot serve it. When we asked the server apologized and brought it. Good thing about ordering Mochi ice cream is that you get multiple flavors- mango, strawberry and chocolate. They were out of coconut chocolate parfait so we ordered Ube white Chocolate cheesecake. It was alright. Ambiance was good with dim light and beautiful light pendants hanging from the ceiling. This place is good for eating sushi, if either you are staying at GSR or at the casino and do not want to drive up to a different location for food.

Richard A.

I usually do not patronize the venues on Restaurant Row at GSR however the other evening, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Beef Chow Fun and I was not disappointed, it was rather good. The Asian ambience was very well done and inviting and my server Clayton was great.

Rim Fried Rice** 4/25:26
Emily A.

Given the reviews I didn't expect much.... However I was very surprised at how good my Rim fried rice was and the price was very fair (24$) for not only a casino but the portion was shareable. The pork was a tad bit fatty and sweet but I loved the shrimp. I was with three girlfriends that preferred sushi and they ordered four rolls all of which they enjoyed. Golden gate, snow mountain, lion king, and mango tango. One sake which my friend said was just fine and one raspMary martini which I tried It wasn't bad. I saw them making some good looking virgin Mojitos with lavender in them. I wish I would have tried one. We sat at the bar outside the restaurant so no notes for inside. The two girls working in the Bar handled it well for as busy as it was for a country concert weekend and a volleyball tournament weekend. Food came out pretty fast. Locals discount. Gluten free items clearly marked (so helpful!!) I hope the rice tastes the same because I will be back for that.

I was in Reno recently, and while I was walking by the river, I came across The Coconut Downtown…read more I'm so happy I did because this place was such a great find! This is a Thai restaurant, and when we got there they were getting ready to close, but thankfully we were still able to place an order to go. While we waited for our food, we grabbed a drink at the bar. We didn't have to wait too long at all, which was a big plus! We ordered the yellow chicken curry and the chicken Se Ew, and both were SO good! The yellow chicken curry had so much flavor and was absolutely delicious. The Se Ew was also really good and had such a great flavor. I was so happy with everything we got! The people working there were also super sweet and helpful, which made the experience even better. They have seating inside and outside, so it would definitely be a cute place to sit and enjoy your food. I'm already wanting to go back the next time I'm in Reno to try more things on their menu. I would definitely get the yellow chicken curry and Se Ew again because they were that good! If you're in the area, you should definitely go try this place. The food comes out quickly, the staff is amazing, and you won't be disappointed!

This time around was a complete disaster. My wife and I were having Thai Basil Fried rice with varying exceptions. Tofu for my wife. Chicken and no onions for myself. The restaruant on a Sunday evening was pretty empty. Maybe 3 other parties were being served. We waited about 30 minutes for our meal. My wife's meal was ok at best. What I received was not what I ordered. My dish had zero Basil, overcooked Chicken , and no stringbeans . I was thoroughly discussed. I called the waitress over and told her I didn't like my dinner. She said would I like something else. I said angrily no. The waitress said the cook was new and made a mistake. The waitress said she took my meal off the bill. Several minutes later the cook ( not a chef in my book) asked me why I didn't like my dinner. I explained several items missing. He said the waitress put the wrong order in. Apparently both the waitress and the cook threw each other under the bus. It is unfortunate this establishment has gone way downhill. For us we recommend Thai Lotus but they were closed on Sundays.

Thankfully, this cute little restaurant has its own parking area, which was definitely a plus! The restaurant is small and cozy, with only about 10 tables. Service was good by Jab, and the food was okay. I think we're just so used to the cooking style and flavors at Original Thai that we naturally found ourselves comparing the dishes. We tried several different dishes, including the Sampler, Sa-tay, Larb, Chicken Pop, and Tom Yum Gai soup. Everything was decent, but for us, some of the flavors and preparation just didn't compare to what we're accustomed to. Still, it was nice trying something different while we were in the area, and I'm glad we gave it a try!

Thai Chili is a sleeper for sure, as it looks pretty Ho hum from the outside. Once inside, however, it's really homey. It's a little overcrowded with mismatched stuff, but it WORKS! I loved the ambiance for its non traditional, non sterile atmosphere. Now for the food! While maybe not 5 stars, it's a solid 4.5. Everything we had was top notch, with a couple of things being absolutely outstanding. Best of the night were the Curry Puffs, dipped in there insanely excellent peanut sauce (not too sweet and almost like a hint of chili oil) The Springs Rolls were a close second and my Mango Curry dish sparkled. Great Yellow Curry!! My son had a noodle dish that was also incredibly tasty. Have to say it may take me some time, but exploring their very extensive menu will be a pleasure. A big shoutout to Kylie, whose smile lit up the room and was accompanied by her fabulous service. Don't let the nondescript exterior stop you from trying this place. Some of the best Thai food I've had in Reno! Cheers, JimG

I got invited to lunch at this Thai Lotus place in Reno the other day, so I made the drive down. I got there right at 11am opening to meet friends. It's very nice inside, the servers all wear these funny digital lighted tags. I couldn't even read what they said though. These friends all wanted to get the lunch specials. I'm used to sharing Thai food family style, but I guess if you aren't with people you know well enough to share food, then everybody gets their own Thai dish. The lunch specials were all priced around $13 and more if you wanted seafood, like shrimp. I got the Pad Thai with chicken, something safe, as it's my first time here. The lunch came with an egg roll kinda thing, salad, soup and rice along with the entree. Serving rice with a noodle dish didn't make much sense to me, but whatever. The salad was served with a peanut kind of dressing, it was OK. The egg roll thing was a little greasy, but that's an egg roll for ya. The Pad Thai was served in a bowl. The bowl I found, actually keeps the dish hot longer than serving on a flat plate. Good idea! There were lots of peanuts and served with a lime to squeeze on the noodles. I'm glad there weren't a lot of bean sprouts in the dish. I don't like bean sprouts much, but some like them for texture. The sauce was plentiful, almost too much, but good tasting. You added the chili flakes for your own spice level. I liked this version of the popular Pad Thai dish here at Thai Lotus and I thought the lunch special was a good value, with prices these days.

My favorite dishes are the kung pao chicken and their pork fried rice, but they have several other popular dishes, especially their rangoons. The portions are large and entrees don't typically come with rice, so it is best to order dishes family style to be shared. I can't wait to return, I am excited to try their Mongolian beef next!

As for the satay, they accidentally brought out chicken satay at first, which our server immediately noticed and rectified the issue. When the tofu satay came out, it ended up being skewers of fried tofu puffs that you'd dip into their peanut sauce. While delicious, I was hoping there would be more creativity in layering or marinating the tofu with the sauce like the chicken satay would have been. As a Californian, I appreciated the lower pricing for their menu items and found it fairly inexpensive given the times. Overall, I really enjoyed our meal here and found it a good spot for Thai in the area.
