    Lunch special menu as of Sept 25
    Adrianna W.

    Very authentic Thai restaurant! I love this place, and the prices are very reasonable. Last week, I had their green curry and cashew chicken to go--both were amazingly delicious. I usually don't get cashew dishes, the cashew chicken here was sooo goood!! Today, I came back and ordered the lunch special basil chicken. The lunch special includes one egg roll, a crab rangoon, and a small soup. Everything came out fresh and hot. I also ordered a Thai tea with cream, which was served in a huge glass. Overall, everything was great! The service was good as well--no complaints about this place.

    Did take out from Thai Lotus, and it was delicious. Started with the spring roll, which was so fresh. It was almost a meal in itself. Then I had an egg roll, which was perfect. Next I dived into my Pad Thai (chicken and 2 shrimp). Surprisingly the shrimp tasted like Argentinian shrimp! Great taste! I also 1/2 of my order in the refrigerator for tomorrow's lunch!

    I've been living 10 minutes away for 30 years and have never been here. Why? It's tucked away and the exterior isn't very inviting. My grandson has been going here with his father for many years. He suggested we go there for dinner so we went and I had minimal expectations. I should say I love Thai food. We walk in, pleasantly greeted. The seats are worn and cracked, but everything is clean The menu is small, but lots to choose from. Our server was very nice and helped with the food selection. I got the whole fish, my grandson got a curry, and my wife got a noodle shrimp dish. When the food came out it was presented very nicely. Everything smelled wonderful, and tasted amazing. Everything was fresh and hot. Portions were plentiful. And prices are very reasonable. Well am I sorry it's taken me this long to go here. But it won't be long before I'm back.

    I'm a vegetarian and this place was sooo yummy! The staff was so sweet and fast service and the old school music with the diner style booth seats was such a cozy vibe!

    Picked up takeout from Thai Lotus this weekend and was pleasantly surprised! Thai Lotus is a dine-in and takeout restaurant, so if you're looking for a sit down meal experience this place is able to accommodate. It's conveniently located just past Glendale and 19th Ave with plenty of parking for customers. The restaurant interior has fun wallpaper and ample booth seating. The woman who helped me with my takeout was quick and friendly. I ordered the Pad See Ew medium spice and really enjoyed my meal. Other folks in my party ordered the Panang Curry and Pad Thai, note that the Pad Thai comes with a lot of peanuts. Overall I look forward to this place becoming my new Thai takeout spot!

    Worst Thai In Phoenix First Time Customer Via Uber Eats E-San Combo- Terrible. They gave more pickled papaya salad which is not fresh. 3 small pieces of chicken. Sticky rice is sticky dry. Tofu Spring Roll- Not fresh. Stale. Fried Tofu- Stale Don't even go here. They really left a bad impression for the price of around $40, you're better off with Rice Paddy, Thai Chili 2 Go, Pho Laveen and Pho Bowl Laveen. The cook doesn't love their job. Everything we got was stale, dry, bad portions and more. I don't understand why this business is still running. False advertising.

    Chicken pad Thai and vegetable yellow curry
    Kyaa S.

    DONT PLAY WITH THE SPICE LOL I got level 3 chicken pad that and my boyfriend got level 4 yellow curry and I had one bite of his and it nearly burned my tongue off ..loll Once I got my mouth calmed down I was able to enjoy my pad Thai! Very good flavor a little kick but not over the top! Would definitely order back! But would definitely adjust spice level on curry

    The manager and staff yelling and threatening to call cops while looking happily justified in doing so.
    Marcus S.

    Poor service, small portions at dinner-sized prices. They wiill call cops if you disagree with them. They should go out of business. They never have anyone in the restaurant dining in anymore for a reason. I have eaten here since 2017. NEVER AGAIN!

    Yellow curry with tofu
    Kearsten K.

    Got take out for lunch, and it was quick and delicious! Yellow curry with tofu and the veggies and tofu were cooked perfectly! I will definitely be back!

    Ordered via DoorDash and the food was fabulous! Not pictured is the Tom Kah soup which was delicious. We will definitely be going in next time to check out the ambiance of the place but delivery was great.

    Insanely flavorful Thai food that is somehow familiar and unique. The 2025 James Beard committee…read morereally knew exactly what they were doing. Given the landlocked area and dearth of Asian markets, I have so much respect and awe that they dont hold back on lemongrass and all the thai spices in both of the food and cocktails. Loud, modern, and hip scene even on a Wednesday night. 45 min to 1 hour wait if you attempt walk in but we did reservations just a week prior. We opted for indoors since we visited in June heat and that was a great decision as we were sat in the back clubhouse which felt like a secret cocktail club. Btw, if you reserve indoors or outdoors, they will hold you to it. Save room for their hibiscus and lemongrass creme brûlée that has the perfect crust and smooth texture. Even if you can't take a lot of spice, they did a great job sharing what dishes would still work. Appreciated the thoughtful text ahead of time to arrive early for parking because yes, it's extremely challenging in that area even though my dad has a disabled placard. Just go here. So worth it. A highlight to any trip to Phoenix

It tastes even better with that Thai chili sauce. I didn't take the photos of all the other dishes but they were all super delicious. The first time when I came, the service was impeccable - they were nice, attentive, and patient. The second time was a bit disappointing. It took a really long time for one of my friends' dishes to come. But when we checked with them, we were told "it will come when it's ready." I understand that they were busy at that moment. But they could have told us in a better way. Overall, I always look forward to dinning here. And this is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants in Phoenix!

As a proud Yelp Elite, I decided to give this place a chance because the reviews were the best I saw in the city! The place was busy on a Sunday night and it is small but I never say customers waiting too long. There were two larger parties seated so the food took some time but nothing outrageous. We started with the calamari, spring rolls, and crab wontons. The calamari were the biggest I've ever seen and very delicious! Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the spring rolls or crab wontons. I feel like those are hard to get wrong but I was not a fan of the cream cheese that was used and it was a lot of it, barely any imitation crab. For entrees, I had the spicy basil and substituted ground chicken for chicken breast, my personal preference. I ordered level 2 spice but it was still a bit spicy for me. Trying a new Thai place is always hit or miss with spice levels so I actually thought I was being safe with 2. Additionally, the chicken was so bland. Some Thai places season their chicken, some do not and unfortunately Pad Thai Cafe missed that mark. My partner ordered the short rib curry dish and my goodness, it smelled like heaven and tasted just as good. I don't eat beef but had to taste it and it was divine! He also ordered spice level 2 and his dish was not as spicy as mine. Overall, the rest of the party enjoyed their food and there were good flavors there so I'd definitely recommend the entrees, not so much the starters.

A simple order of pad thai and spring rolls took exactly 42 minutes. After several follow-ups, no one told me the food was ready until I walked up to the counter myself. Overall, a frustrating experience, and I would not recommend it with other Thai restaurant options nearby.
