Thai Lotus Restaurant

Solid food for the small-town super white area. - Massaman curry (mild) - solid, but a bit thin compared to other places. Good flavors nonetheless. - Pad Thai noodles (mild) - decent and filling, but I've definitely had better ones in big cities.

Eat here at least 4 times a month. Great food and portions. It's definitely worth trying out.

Food is good but beware. They add 3.5% to each item regardless of whether you are paying with credit or cash. Had we not noticed we would have paid the extra when we paid cash. Pretty dishonest. Won't go back.

This unassuming little restaurant has big flavors and a surprisingly beautiful interior! I didn't expect much from the modest strip mall entrance but was so pleasantly surprised.We arrived at around 1:30 and the place was packed. After a tiny wait, we were seated. The service was so kind and swift, and they did it all with only 2 servers inside. I didn't feel rushed or wanting for anything. Amazing!The dishes we tried were all simply incredible. This might be my new favorite Thai restaurant! We wanted dumplings, but they were out by the time we arrived. Instead, we tried spring rolls and shrimp blankets. So good! Both are completely homemade, not from a box.Our entrees were delicious, too. I got a curry and my daughter had Thai chicken with veggies. I loved hers, the chicken was lightly fried and the sauce was somewhat spicy. The veggies were just cooked enough not to be too crisp but not falling apart. Can't wait to go back to sample those dumplings. If they were sold out by 1:30pm, they must be awesome!

Quite charming atmosphere and attentive service. They let me customize my masamun curry with veggies of choice. The dish was very flavorful with a generous amount of shrimp. The real star was the crispy tangy papaya salad. If you haven't tried this you are really missing out. Extra points for bringing me my own bottle fish sauce and it's the same brand I shower my food with at home for that skanky umami taste am addicted too. I look forward to returning

I love great Thai food. This fits the bill. I had a Red Curry Tofu. I enjoyed the Tofu Soup that came with the Lunch Special. There is something for everyone on the menu. There is something for omnivores, pescetarian, and vegetarians.Something that people might not consider ordering is Thai Tea. This is a black tea, with spices, served over ice with condensed milk. This is not traditional southern "sweet tea" or traditional southern "unsweet tea. " Do yourself a favor and head out for the lunch special and order some Thai Iced Tea.

This a gem of a restaurant in Hickory. From the outside, this restaurant doesn't look like much, but walk through the doors and you are in for a treat. Delicious Thai food, wonderful staff, and great prices. I had the Ginger Stir Fry (vegetable) and my husband had the Wild and Bold (vegetable). Both dishes were delicious and generous portions.

I would highly recommend Thai Lotus. Their food is always on par and the service is fantastic.

I went with my family, party of 6 for our annual Christmas dinner. Every year, we picked a different restaurant to go to. Thai Lotus was the place we chose for this year. The place seemed cozy and quiet and the waitress was nice. However, when we received our food, I was very disappointed. The food that we ordered was okay but the portions were so little. We ordered like 8-10 different plates of food. How do you expect to feed 6 people when it's only enough for 4. Come on...It's almost like you have to order double and it's not cheap.As for the food, we didn't like much of the taste. When you are Asian, you know what good food is. For instance, I had the Tom Yum Soup. It didn't taste quite like Tom Yum Soup and the same goes for the Pork Curry. The whole time that we were eating there, my wife and I still think that Jin's Buffet by Walmart, should've been a better choice. Oh well, I guessed you have to learn from your mistake. After dinner, it's funny, the waitress asked if we would like some boxes for our left over food. I'm like, no we're good. What left over food...?My advice for customers: If you have never had Asian Food, you might think that this place is a good place to eat. However, if you did have Asian Food elsewhere you would know the differences when it comes to taste. Maybe you don't care, that's your business. I respect that. I'm just letting you know.My advice for the owner: Please be aware of the people you served. You can't serve 6-10 people like you would 2-4. You can't be greedy when it comes to food. People like it when you give them a lot of food. Your customers will be coming back even if the food isn't that great.As for me and my family, it would be a long time before we ever come back to Thai Lotus....

Best Thai food in the area. Ate here many times and have never been disappointed. Service is great so is the food and prices
