Thai Lotus is a great little restaurant located close to the esplanade. We arrived around 6pm and…read morethe place was just starting to fill up. By the time we left it was packed and had a short wait. Close to authentic but slightly modified for "Australian" taste buds. Does that mean it's not good? No, this place was awesome! We loved our meals. Ordered the pork Laab and chicken green curry. Both were flavourful and aromatic. The spice level was dialled down a little which we didn't mind at all. You can taste the layers of flavours in every bite The lemongrass, galangal, ginger and chilli had excellent balance. If you're in Mooloolaba and craving Thai food give this place a try.

They've easily got the best Laksa out of any Thai restaurant I've dined at so far (on or off the Coast). And while most of their other dishes don't reach the same pillar of excellence as their Laksa, they are still all quite good. I've yet to have a bad meal at Melinda's, nor has anyone I've taken here ever been unhappy with their meal. Prices are maybe a little higher than I'd like, but considering the overall quality (and also quantity; portions tend to be satisfyingly large here) I'm happy to let this point slide. The dine-in service can be a little lackluster, particularly for larger parties or during very busy times. Be prepared to wait a little while for your food to come out, and don't be surprised if it doesn't arrive all at once. But once it does you can be confident that you're in for a good meal, at least.

The food's OK. Not the best Thai, but not the worst, either.read more

It must be family owned because they take orders with a smile and actually run back to the counter after delivering the order. Let's talk about the food - I ordered what I usually get, the Pad Kei Mao and it was amazing. It had the perfect amount of every fresh veggie plus the protein, beef in my case, was grade A and cooked to perfection. Good wine selection. The price is perfect too. Highly recommend.
