Lotus Thai - DowntownHeretofore I wasn't familiarHeretofore I wasn't familiar with Thai cuisine, but the restaurant staff recommended dishes that were excellent. The service was great, the ambiance pleasant.4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMIn town on business and wentIn town on business and went as it was recommended at the best Thai in San Diego. I ate at the bar and the bartender and waiters were all very attentive. The ambiance is warm, inviting and modern at the same time. The lana gyoza was incredible; light dough, fried crisp, almost flaky and a delicious dipping sauce. I had the Crying Tiger for dinner, which, I'm sad to say was slightly disappointing. The chili lime dipping sauce was amazing, but the spring salad was lackluster and the very generous cut of steak was very greasy. Overall I enjoyed my night and would be willing to go back and try more!4/8/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went for lunch on Saturday,We went for lunch on Saturday, was quiet......LOVED the food.

Lotus Thai was absolutely OUTSTANDING! The flavor of their food was delicious and the heat (spice) was right where I wanted it. If you want authentic Thai food for reasonable prices then look no further than Lotus Thai!!! They also have a good selection of beer on tap and a decent wine menu to go with the exceptional food.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMwe a dinner for 5. Everyonewe a dinner for 5.
