Food was OK, but not great anymore - definitely not worth the 30 minute drive to get Thai food that we once enjoyed. 2 of the 4 mussels in my dish were dead/closed shells, and I chipped a tooth on mussel shell pieces that were in the food itself. We were there early, and sat and waited some time while many takeout orders were filled. I can say that the Fresh Rolls were delicious. Other than that, the ice cream shop next door was GREAT and had a nice variety of flavors!

The lunch menu doesn't have appetizer options which was surprising and also cost them probably another $10-15 from our total as we might have done an appetizer and for sure coconut soups. That said, they brought out complementary spring rolls. We both had Thai teas, perfection! Hubby ordered the Drunken Noodle a notch below Thai hot which was delicious, and the Thai teas came was an excellent complement. When trying a new Thai restaurant (my fav cuisine) I always start with Green Curry (my fav dish) and if it doesn't hold up, I won't be back to try other dishes. Upon first impression, I noticed the curry with a thinner consistency, and I like mine creamy! Usually a thinner consistency lacks the punch of flavor that defines a good green curry dish. I don't know how Thai Lotus did it because of all the curries I've tried this has never happened, this green curry is outstanding! The flavor hits! I was so surprised! Yum yum yum! Our server was so sweet and everything was so delicious! The prices were reasonable, both our dishes and Thai teas, our tab was about $30+tip. I can't wait to go back for dinner service and check out some of their other menu items. We really enjoyed our lunch! Also, I love their artwork. I'm including a picture from right above our table that was just stunning! I wish I'd gotten pictures of the rest of the art series but I try not to include people in my images.

Today is Wednesday, February 11 2026, this is an updated review from a previous one I had posted…read more We loved Thai Lotus, until today. We go there frequently, we went there today for lunch, it was moderately busy, my wife ordered the lunch special fried crispy chicken with vegetables and rice, I ordered what I always order spicy eggplant with pork normal spice level, we also ordered the calamari appetizer. The appetizer came out. It was a small portion, but I had been craving it so I enjoyed it, my wife's crispy fried chicken with vegetables came out and they set the plate in front of her and walked away, about five minutes later our waitress walked by and said do you need a sharing plate? I said no I'm still waiting for my order. She gasped and said your order? I said yes spicy eggplant with pork normal spice like you wrote it down. She was shocked. She said let me check on your order. There were five other tables that came in after us. They all were served their food and after waiting 15 minutes I told the waitress cancel my order. She says well they're just starting it now. I said it doesn't matter. My wife is done eating and I no longer have an appetite. They gave us a three dollar discount on our total order and did not charge me for my dish. I was so frustrated. We loved going there, however, after this, we will not go back. The big issue is when she realized that she messed up our order. She did not make an attempt to make my order a priority while my wife's food was getting cold. They just blew it off and put me at the end of the list this is a terrible way to do business oh and by the way, I left a $1 tip on a $33 bill. We are so sad that this happened because we really like this place but we are done we will not be back.

Our Asian food in Anderson is quite limited and this was decent enough to get again. First of all, the portions are great. This place definitely won't leave you hungry.

The steak meat was a tad overdone (still tasted good), but the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Overall, I would definitely get it again.

I asked what type of tuna they use for the sashimi, and she admitted she wasn't sure, but she happily went to the kitchen to find out for me. She came back with the answer, "Osaka sushi grade," which made me smile because that's not actually a type of tuna. I genuinely appreciated that she asked instead of trying to make something up. The sashimi itself wasn't bad, just surprisingly bland. The rolls were also pretty underwhelming. Looking back at the menu, the limited sushi selection probably should have told me that sushi isn't really the star of the show here. If you're coming for hibachi, you'll probably have a completely different experience. If you're a sushi enthusiast who gets excited about albacore, specialty nigiri, or asking what species of tuna you're eating... you'll probably understand why I laughed at "Osaka sushi grade."
