The wait staff was so polite.
I was immediately seated and offered a drink and suggested an appetizer. A few minutes later, just as I finished ordering the appetizer, it came out steaming hot.
I barely dug into the appetizer when my dinner arrived.
It was beautifully decorated wish I had gotten the picture before I dug in.

Quality/Quantity -
CS15 - Thai Street Noodle, Mild.
N10 - Hot & Sour Rice Noodle Soup, Mild.
N2 - Pad See Ew Beef, no spice.
Overall, all the flavors were good.
My family liked the Thai Street Noodle dish the best. It was our first time ever trying something like this. It has a stew-like flavor.
My favorite was the Pad See Ew. It had the most quantity, and the only dish that had leftovers.
I was afraid that the other 2 dishes were not enough food, but it was just perfect.
Fruit Tea - Blueberry with Boba - This was the disappointment of the meal. It had very little sweetness, not enough

Our new go to for Thai food ands takeout. There's not been one thing I've had thus far I haven't enjoyed. Most entrees are great to share between two people. In our home we like to get two entrees to split for variety than plenty of leftovers for later. The shrimp ran-goons are a favorite and they'd cashew chicken remains a staples.

Went with the Chicken Yellow Curry lunch special and a side of Roti. This by far is now one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Reno. Service was great and very quick. They also have perfect sized lunch specials. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. If you love a good yellow curry, this is your place to go.

Excellent lunch spot! A very calm and relaxing setting with amazing food. It’s a large menu which I can do without. Pineapple Curry and Thai Basil were great. We ordered spicy level 3 and it was very mild, more like a one or two. However they quickly brought more chili sauce and chili flakes for us to adjust the heat level. One of the better Thai spots in Reno!

LOVE this place. Their Pad Thai reminds me of some I've had in Seattle and San Francisco. It's more of a flavorful take on Pad Thai, with the lime flavor very prominent. My favorite dishes are the panang curry and the pineapple fried rice, both of which I order with fried tofu. Their tofu is to die for!

We used to eat here a couple times a month, this last visit was not good at all, the older waitress was not very pleasant or maybe doesn't understand English? I specifically asked for no hot stuff, level 0. I did change from chicken to beef, my meal arrived with black pepper all over it. I sent it back and the next dish came with chunks of garlic, it was supposed to be Honey beef!! the garlic over powered the whole bowl of beef and undercooked broccoli. Very disappointed, won't go back for a while, looking for a new Thai rest.

When first pulling up to the restaurant- I thought it might be closed! Very unassuming from the outside. Inside though it's cozy and clean with plenty of space and tables.
I ordered the yellow curry, eggplant and pad kee mao. The yellow curry was delicious!! Such a delicate coconut flavor- a good curry soaking in rice is the heartwarming comfort food you need any day. I will say the potato could have been either softer and more cooked or just have less of it since it kind of took away from the saucy star of the show- the broth is really what you want most of. I think the other two dishes

Gosh. I never thought I'd change my rating of Thai Lotus but the last experience just didn't measure up to literally every one before it and I wanted to share just in case it represents an issue the business needs to address.
I've been ordering the same dishes at Thai Lotus now for more than 5 years. I love the Spicy Spicy Catfish, Green Curry, Thai Ribs and just about anything they list on the nightly specials board. When friends offered to stop. G for dinner with takeout from Thai Lotus, Spicy Spicy Catfish was calling my name and I was pumped to have it for dinner. My wife loves

A busy restaurant that has wonderfully priced weekday lunch specials. These plates include a little salad, a sweet puff and a broth soup. It's even served on a bamboo tray!
I enjoyed the avocado and the yellow curry. Of course, it's Thai curry, so some types have more warmth/heat than others, but nothing that will make your eyes water. Unless you request for that!
The Thai coffee is popular here.

Being from los angeles I have been exposed to a number of authentic Thai restaurants. its always scary to try new places when we move to a new area. we happened to try the first place that popped up on yelp.… and let me tell you we loved EVERY DISH we tried. even the off the menu items they suggested. I will be going back again! the atmosphere is so inviting. the portions are definitely a great size. make sure you get level 3 or higher for spice. I got 3 as a baseline because I was with my young kids however we ordered extra chile on the side. all I can say is THANK YOU YELP!

Where do my reviews disappear to?! I have been here a handful of times in the 9 years I've lived in Reno and I know I've jotted a few words about it on the good ol' Yelp.
My girlfriend and I had a "catch up on life date" and we were feeling Thai one night in the cold winter month of December 2020. Totally forgetting the dumb pandemic we didn't make reservations prior. They mentioned it to us when walked in but they gladly sat us at an open table for two.
I was feeling a warm soup and she was feeling noodles. Here curry noodle dish was AMAZING and I think I chose

This is my favorite place in all of reno for thai food. Its the closest to home ever. The street food dish is my favorite. Tastes almost like grandmas cooking. I miss her so when I want to remember I eat this dish. The egg onto always make it so delicious. One thi g is to ca to see if reservations are needed. I dont keep up with covid requirements so they asked for reservations. So for future. Will know not to just show up. Another to recommend is their thai iced coffee. Correct
The coffee. Not all places serve the coffee and its great here
I also like the sweet chili tilapia. Level of spice

This is a lovely spot for lunch. Their specials are all budget priced, and you can upgrade to pad thai instead of rice. Just do it!
I was craving spicy, so my entree featured tender chicken breast in a sauce of baby bok choy, jalapeño, green pepper, and onion. Thai food is perfect when you're trying to eat somewhat healthy, minus the carb load from the rice noodles I wanted.
Included is a modest salad (just lettuce and shredded carrot with peanut dressing), and a curry potato dumpling.
Not pictured are the shrimp spring rolls, which this day tasted pretty bad. I guess the spring roll

Beautiful place with great service delicious food! Nina was our waitress and provided amazing service. We ordered the Larb as an appetizer and the Thai Basil dish with seafood. It was perfectly cooked with a delicous broth for the Thai Basil dish and a complimentary side of rice. Highly recommend. Also they do takeout orders for Doordash, Uber Eats, Postdated, Uber, and more. Go order some Thai food 😋

The food was sooo flavorful! The cold unfiltered sake was perfect! The ginger lover with crispy tofu was excellent! The prices were great! The seating and staff was appropriate for dine-in during the pandemic with plenty of space and ppe for staff. They accommodated our request for glass bowls rather than plastic and they were gracious and organized!
