I got dinner here through DoorDash. Pad Thai was pretty good, tastier than the spicy basil noodles (ok to pass on this next time). Tom Kha soup was okay. Mango sticky rice was a sweet way to end the meal. read more

After apple picking at Giamarese farm , this was a great place for lunch. Their Tom Kha soup was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend. I also ordered their mango fried snapper. Which was presented beautifully & deboned , but I didn't love it was just ok. My friends all enjoy their dishes, as well. Overall a really good Thai restaurant for being in the middle of NJ. read more

While this is food i very much disagree with it being called Thai food. This isn't even in the same realm as Thai food. It could potentially be called fusion cuisine but the food is both dry and wet. Generally inedible. The ambiance is actually wonderful tho. And the service was phenomenal however the food was just so so bad read more

Thai Lotus - Thai Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

Our dear friend Gabby told us to try this place. Because Gabby is not Asian, we didn't take his recommendation seriously. We happened to be nearby and wanted some Asian food, we gave it a try. And so glad we ate here! It was really really authentic and the service was just great. Later that week after Thanksgiving, we ended up back again because I loved their pineapple fried rice with shrimps! read more

Thai Lotus - a nondescript small restaurant tucked away in a strip mall in North Brunswick offers these vibrant selection of traditional Thai dishes ranging from fragrant, herb-laden soups to crispy red snapper filets paired with a mild-spicy mango sauce, a creamy, coconut-based green curry beef (cooked to your level of spice; mine is always level 4) and a decadent dessert named FBI (fried banana with ice cream). read more

Absolutely delicious Thai food! This was my first time ordering from Thai Lotus and I most certainly will be back. I can confidently say these are the best vegetable spring rolls I have ever had from a delivery or take out restaurant -- thin, crispy & delicious with an absolutely savory & thick flavorful dipping sauce. The vegetable dumplings in Manchurian sauce were extremely spicy, flavorful & filling! Enough that I have dinner for tomorrow as well. The dumplings were shaped like meatballs and packed a very flavorful punch. Thai Lotus absolutely outdid itself and I will be ordering from here again! read more

Thai Lotus - Vegetables Dumping Finished in a Manchurian Sauce & Vegetable Spring Roll - Thai Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

Edit as a response to the owner: we ordered red and got green. I called it soup because curry is liquid like a soup and usually it's packaged in soup containers because it's messy. The order mixup wasn't a big deal because the food was yummy. It was leaking when we got home and your website could be a bit more clear about coupon stipulations. We meant no offense and did not accuse you of adding on extra charges - we were clearly willing to buy from you even without the coupon. The food was good though, it was just a clumsy experience and I wanted to leave an honest review. We'll update when we try it again. Happy new year I'm disappointed that I can't give a better rating. The food itself is decent - slightly above average flavor-wise. However, the takeout experience wasn't the best. They wouldn't honor their own coupons they advertise on their website. At first they said they didn't have that coupon and when we showed them, they said those coupons are only for lunch time. Then we showed them the hours (we ordered at 6pm on a Tuesday and hours for the coupon are 5:30-9pm, Tue-Fri), they said oh actually the coupons are only for senior citizens.. which would be fine, but nowhere does it say that on the website. Second, they made the wrong order and I didn't realize until I was home. Also, they package it terribly so soup leaked everywhere and made a huge mess. They put the soup into flat trays and shrink wrap so the soup leaks out of the tray and into the plastic wrap. Third, it's very pricey for portion size - $60 for two trays of curry and a side salad. The food was good and honestly would've been worth the $60 if it wasn't for the strange interaction at pickup and the bad packaging. We might give the dine-in a try in the future but we won't be ordering takeout from them again unfortunately because they do seem like nice people, it just wasn't a nice experience for the price. Hopefully it was just an off night since we've heard good things about this place. We usually eat at Aroma but tried Lotus today since Aroma was closed. I'll update when we go back and dine in-person and hopefully have a better update to give :) read more

I've visited this restaurant twice for dine-in and once for takeout, and each time has been a unique experience. The ambiance is simple, elegant, and gives the feeling that they've brought a mini Thailand right here. It's a cozy and inviting place that makes for a great dining experience. First Visit: It was just the two of us, and we kept it simple with two entrées and a glass of wine. We ordered the Chef's Special Black Pepper Fish (Very Hot) and the Veg Red Curry (Very Hot)--both were absolutely delicious! The Black Pepper Fish, made with Tilapia, was perfectly cooked and packed with bold flavors. The Veg Red Curry was outstanding--despite its name, it had a yellowish hue, likely due to the coconut gravy. Second Visit: This time, I brought my family, who have some complex dietary restrictions. Moosa, the one who seated us and helped take our order, was very friendly, polite, and amazingly pleasing. He was incredibly accommodating, courteous, and willing to customize our orders to suit our needs--his hospitality was truly commendable! We ordered: Veg Curry (Mild, No Onion, No Garlic) Tom Hak Chicken Soup (Very Hot) Corn Soup (Medium Hot) Chef's Special Black Pepper Fish (Very Hot) Garlic Chili Rice (Medium Hot) Veg Red Curry (Hot) The food was fantastic again, but there was a small hiccup--Moosa doesn't write down orders, relying on memory, which led to a mix-up. My Black Pepper Fish, which I specifically requested to be Very Hot, arrived Mild. Surprisingly, even at a lower spice level, it was still flavorful and enjoyable! To top it off, we tried their Fried Ice Cream, which was a nice treat. Takeout Experience: I placed my order in the afternoon for a 6 PM pickup, but it seemed like the food was prepared immediately after I ordered. By the time I picked it up, the dishes were cold--which was disappointing. I had ordered the Black Pepper Fish and Red Curry with Chicken and Fish, and while the flavors were still good, the freshness was lacking. Final Thoughts: This restaurant serves amazing food with authentic flavors, and the hospitality--especially from Moosa--is excellent. However, order accuracy and timing can be inconsistent, so it's best to double-check your order--especially for spice levels and pickup timing. If they improve on these small issues, this place would be flawless! Would I go back? Absolutely! Just with a little extra attention to ensure my order is exactly how I want it. Outstanding food, warm hospitality, minor service hiccups. read more

I met up with some friends at this spot due to its central location. The ambiance was very quiet, even for a weeknight; we were the only ones dining inside. The menu is very similar to most Thai restaurants but offers the additional factor of being halal. I ordered the Red Curry with chicken, my go-to at most Thai places. Our food came out in about 20 minutes. Presentation was appealing, and portions were generous. We all tried each other's entree outside of our main meals. My Red Curry had had solid flavor and quality; it was definitely comparable to red curries I've enjoyed at other Thai restaurants. The Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) and Massaman Curry stood out amongst the other dishes. Service was consistent throughout our visit. Most Thai spots I try rank within a similar range to each other, so it can be hard pick a favorite. I'd say this spot hits the mark; I was decently satisfied with most aspects of our visit. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here specifically, but I'd stop by if I was in the area again. read more

My husband and I ordered dinner from here through Uber Eats on this rainy Sunday evening and we were so disappointed. Nothing like looking forward to a meal and then not even being able to enjoy yet. We got a Chicken Pad see ew and a shrimp Pad Thai. Neither dish had ANY flavor whatsoever. My husband, who isn't picky, says his meal was bland and tasteless. The Pad Thai I had tasted like boiled noodles with eggs and peanuts and the tiniest shrimp I have ever seen in my life! It was also super dry. What a crime! Lesson learned. read more

Thai Lotus - Pad Thai- no color whatsoever! - Thai Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

Was craving some thai food as I didn't have a chance to get it earlier on in the shutdown. Unfortunately, both of the spots closest to me were closed... one for the holidays and the other permanently. I discovered this place as one that wasn't too far away from me so I decided to takeout from here. Placed an order on a Friday evening. Took about 45 minutes to receive the order, which isn't surprising, but a bit longer. At the same time, I noticed a lot of people ordering large orders so that's just a case of the weekends to me. We ordered a potpourri of items: Spring Rolls, Papaya Salad (mild spice), Red Curry (with veggies and tofu), Massaman Curry (with veggies and tofu), and Pad See Ew (veggies). For one, the portion size was pretty awesome. Definitely more than plenty for a family of 4 and then some for leftovers. The food itself tasted great - the perfect level of spice and flavor. We were given a generous portion of veggies and tofu - especially with the curry. They did good with the ratio of veggies to curry and veggies to noodles. It was very filling. This place may end up becoming our go-to Thai spot sooner than later. Highly recommend. read more

Thai Lotus - Thai Pineapple Fried Rice, Pad Kee Mow Chicken - Thai Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is because of the waitress who was so patient and managing 8 tables on her own on a busy Saturday night. The food was terrible! The drunken noodles were not medium spicy, they were very bland and the noodles were small pieces. Absolutely no consistency. The red curry soup was also very bland. It took over 30 minutes to get a table because it was very busy evening. It's a very small restaurant plus they have a ton of takeout orders. read more

Thai Lotus update - I'm so pleased to share this update on a fantastic restaurant. The food, service an ambiance hasn't wavered. It's still amazing!

This restaurant is worth traveling too so I look forward to seeing all my Yelper friends here soon. read more

Massaman curry is SOO good here. Love how it's right nearby my house. Service is always so quick. Small interior but homey :)

It's OK. 2 1/2 You know that feeling when you're excited for something and you really-really-really want to like it but then it arrives and it's just aight. This guy loves me loves me some Thai, and aight ain't gonna cut it, baby. Tom Yum soup is always my litmus test I'm looking for heat I want my sinuses clear but I also want some complexity. Yes, I always like it very hot spice wise but heat for the sake of heat is nothing but heat and I found their soup to be very flat. That was the first red flag. Well actually, that was the second red flag. The tea is put in the pot with teabags and not sit with you leaves red flag number two. We ordered an assortment of shrimp Pad Thai, Angel hair ( Mee Asian), Beef (Pad See Ew ) and chicken curry. I see the angel hair dish was the best of the four, and all seem to once again fall a little flat. Those of us that ordered more spicy taste the flavor as much as we tasted the spice kind of like the soup. Most of the beef dishes was a bit too chewy n kind of dry. All in all it was one near miss after another. The place is extremely clean very small may be sitting for 25 to 30 tops fairly crowded although the night we were there on a Thursday night we were the only people there at 8:45. Service was very good. They cater to our needs and we're extremely friendly as was management. I really wish we could look the other way and give this place another shot because I typically reserve my reviews untill after I have at least eaten at a joint twice but in this case it was mediocre , & mediocre in an area with multiple options close by is not going to cut it in my book, sadly. read more

We've been here twice and great meals both times. Our server, Moses, was very friendly and helpful with the menu. He suggested Massaman Curry and we loved it! Start with Thai Iced Teas and the Tom Kai soup which I ordered medium and was a little spicier than I like but I asked for that! Still delicious with lots of chicken and vegetables in it. My wife doesn't eat beef or pork and we wanted something different so we tried the Garlic Shrip. Fantastic! Perfectly grilled on a bird's nest bed with pad Thai noodles in the side. To round out off we had Pad See Ew noodles with shrimp. Very tasty with Chinese broccoli and green onions. Definitely recommend you try this place. But go early on Saturday night since it gets crowded after 8:30pm. read more

I don't know what I was waiting for to give this place a try, and order thai food. I am glad I finally did. We ordered the curry chicken dish and noodles on the side. It was so yummy. Also, when I walked in to pick up the food, I enjoyed some of the decor touches, so why not? I took photos of that too. Let me know what you think of Thai Lotus Thai Cuisine? It is on my to go to list now!! read more

The food was delicious. I recommend trying the Masauman Curry with chicken. It was very creamy and the peanuts give it the perfect crunch. Aida was our server and recommended the food to us. She was very sweet. The decor is also beautiful. read more

All I've got is - get your thai food somewhere else. They're relatively new so they get a slight benefit of the doubt. Even so, I would not go back. They get their 2 stars from two things. 1. It's a cute mom and pop shop and they care about their customers. From the service and looks of it, they haven't gotten everything together yet (forgot our rice, unfresh food, confusion about the menu, etc) but they try. 2. They've got SOME ~ OK dishes (hakka noodles, Tom yum and fried ice cream) They ONLY get 2 stars because everything else we got was... below mediocre. 1. The shrimp and papaya salad was not fresh and the beef in coconut was unappetizing. 2. Their emerald pandan leaves (chicken wrapped in pandan leaves were had little flavor and was dry (supposed to be moist!) The sweet chili sauce paired with it tasted funky too. 3. Stuffed chicken wings is a cool concept (and I'm still in still in awe on how they stuffed it while keeping its shape) but it was not good. How this place has a 4/5 star right now is a shock to me. read more

AUTHENTIC Thai food! Food that is made with love. (It is not fast-food) The flavors are outstanding with good size portions using fresh ingredients. This business appreciates your business. It is a hardworking family owned business. Bring your family and friends for lunch or dinner. Have them cater your next event. I know you will be thrilled! Thai Lotus may become an obsession. read more

Came here for iftaar dinner recently, I was super excited for a halal Thai restaurant unfortunately it turned out so bad. The reviews are all wrong from Google and Yelp. This place was so bad. Ordered chicken satay, it was ok, had a curry ish taste and the sauce with it was super bland. We ordered chicken Manchurian but what came out was literally 4 huge meatballs. We asked to confirm it was chicken Manchurian they said yes. Confused how that is chicken Manchurian and again sauce was very desi tasting not like authentic Thai. Then I ordered beef drunken noodles and oh my god what came out did not even taste or LOOK like drunken noodles. The manager came out and we asked if we were given the Hakka noodles instead of drunken, he proceeds to tell us that Thai restaurants use frozen noodles but they make it fresh but the sauce is the same. (it was definitely very Indian fusion). Also got chicken pad Thai, no peanut flavor overall only decent item we got but did not taste like Thai food. Nothing was spicy (ordered spicy for it all) and everything lacked flavor it just had strong curry vibes. (I'm desi I would know) If you are coming here for good halal food might as well go to Krispy Krystal across the street or N Thai Halal in East Brunswick. Small inside too. read more

I would rate the food 4.5/5 but I will round up to the 5 star. Pros: really great taste. The black pepper chicken was well marinated, well seasoned and good crunch. Medium is spicy but not too much. I will definitely get this dish again. Ginger chicken was good but ginger flavor was a little too strong. I however think it balanced very well with the mushrooms. Overall good dish, I would probably not get again but I did enjoy. Its made with chicken breast over thigh which I enjoyed. Chicken Drunken noodles: good taste! Its cut into shorter pieces so dont expect long noodles. Vegetables added were well seasoned but chicken could use a little more taste. Cons: too much oil & price is high. By the end of the dish, there was A LOT of oil left especially in the drunken noodles. Dont get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed the food but the oil takes half a star off. Also, price was not a deal breaker but its definitely on higher end. They got rid of all specials for lunch & dinner which I would have loved to use on my break from work. Will go again soon! Im happy to have another halal thai place in the vicinity. read more

Tried this local place and was really impressed - we have had chicken satay from many places - theirs was the best I have - fresh and tender and not dry We had the eggplant with tofu and lotus chicken noodles - cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful This tops my list as go to for Thai - will definitely come back to try something different on the menu read more

Pad thai was 10/10! Peanuts were soft to chew & it was a perfect mild level of spiciness I wasnt sure how many spring rolls you would get but they come in 4. I put 2 boxes together for my pictures. Theyre smaer than what i expected. Its the size of my palm. Im not crazy about the vegetarian spring rolls since I usually eat the ones with meat but this was surprisingly good. It has a slight pepper like tingle. There is a parking lot right outside the strip of food places & they prepared the food really fast (ordered through unereats) read more

If you like spicy food definitely be sure to ask for their chilli sauce on the side. It's SO good. read more
