Thai Lotus Anderson

We had never had Thai food before, my husband and myself came here for his job from East Tennessee…read more We really wanted to try it, but had no clue what to order. No worries, the Staff at Thai Spice were very helpful in recommending dishes that we might enjoy. We absolutely loved the food. When my son visited I was sure he would not want to eat there, he is so picky, but he loved it! Now when he visits he wants to know when we are going to eat there again! If I am feeling ill I get the Tom Kai Soup, I may not spelling it correctly but not sure, I always feel better, the ginger, mushrooms, you can have meat added or not, this goes for most all of the dishes. If you're a pro at Thai Food, or a novice like we still are, just ask! Everything I have had is great! You can't go wrong.

I always try to give a restaurant at least twice before leaving a less than stellar review. Well…read morenow I've tried them a couple of times and I'm still not impressed. The food is okay, not great. The service a bit of a mess, the ambiance is okay. Our table ordered Drunken Noodle which was good, red curry and green curry. We also had a coconut soup and an order of baby egg rolls. My favorite part of the meal was the baby egg rolls and that's kinda sad. My companions ordered Thai teas and I got sweet tea which my tea was fine. Hubby's drunken noodle was actually pretty good. My green curry (with tofu) was fine but the rice was mushy. We also got a mango sticky rice for dessert but it seemed the rice was leftover from yesterday maybe. I wish I had better remarks but again, this is not my first visit and I had similar complaints the first time. As far as service, the servers were nice enough and I think for the volume of patrons they were doing okay but it still was a bit of a mess. They were doubling the work trying to cover all tables when maybe they should've had separate sections. I think that would've quelled some of the overlap like both servers working to refill my tea and by the time one had, the other was coming with the pitcher. This next part is the fault of the kitchen. I watched table after table get served their dishes scattered, where one person would get theirs while the others at the table were waiting for theirs to come. Some would wait for the others to be served but some would go ahead and start eating ahead of their party. This happened the last time I was there as well. That needs to be tightened up. Personally, I wouldn't go back. The experience was a bit of a drag. We regretted ordering dessert as it took so long to come and we were antsy to get out of there by the time it came. The food was good enough but it could've been so much better and the service stayed afloat but certainly could be better.

So far Tifudi is my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. We've tried a few and we keep coming back…read morehere. Thai is probably my favorite cuisine and specifically I'm addicted to Thai green curry. I'm very particular and am often let down when restaurants slack on the creaminess/richness of the curries. I've yet to experience that here. I've tried most of the curries offered here and they are all very rich and flavorful! The Drunken Noodle is delicious as is the basil fried rice. They nail the landing on coconut soup and as recently offered with dinner egg drop soup. I've never been much of a fan of egg drop soup but Tifudi changed my mind! I'll enjoy theirs any day which makes me wonder if this is what egg drop soup should really taste like. Tifudi raises the bar on so many dishes. Being from Atlanta and constantly on the road, there are only a couple of standout Thai restaurants that would keep bringing me back and Tifudi is one that makes the list of about 3 top favs, which says a lot! The service is always pleasant, the restaurant is always clean and the food is top notch! Grateful to have this place close by.

Came with an egg roll (def homemade, it was massive and DELICIOUS), and fried rice. Husband got general tsaus chicken. He enjoyed it, but it wasn't very spicy like your normal general tsaus.... But the owner told him the locals don't "like spicy" and that next time we try them, to tell her and she'll make it normal. So the owner tries to cater to the local community. We also got steamed dumplings. They were homemade as well, and tasted very good! The crab Rangoon, also delicious! Like a cream cheese filling with some crab. A little different but very good. Staff were all friendly from the person who answers the phone to take the order down to the cook. Took 20 min to get our order ready. Which is fast and the food was hot and fresh! The building seemed a bit run down, but those are usually some of the BEST places to eat! And again, this place didn't disappoint. Pricing is fair for the enormous amount of food you get, idk why others are complaint about the prices. Like my husband and I are foodies and we pry eat a larger amount than the average person lol.

I decided to give the restaurant a call to let them know the chicken didn't taste right and it wasn't how it usually is. The lady that works upfront suggested I bring the food up there, which wasn't a problem. Whenever I got there the lady upfront was the most rudest person and does not need to be working in a restaurant if you cannot respect customers needs. GROSS!! And won't be back. When i took my food back up there the lady continued to say "you just want to not pay" "im loosing money". I'm sorry but i'm not going to pay $40 for something i DIDN'T eat. Nasty attitude.

The fact that it was affordable and in an amazing environment made it even better. I will be returning with my family the next time I visit Anderson!

It was a 20 minute wait time. The food was ready when I got there. The price was what we normally pay - approximately $32.00. We started with Crab Rangoons and the House Soup (came with fried wonton strips). The hubby and I both ordered Combo Plates. He had General Tao's chicken with white rice and an egg roll. I had Moo Goo Gai Pan, pork fried rice, and an egg roll. The portions were good. We both had leftovers of our main dishes and the rice. The food was regular run of the mill Chinese food. If we get a hankering for Chinese food and don't want to drive far we will give it a second go.
