Lotus Thai Cuisine - San Diego

Great Thai place to dine in by yourself or with colleagues/friends. Good ambiance and food portions are generous too. Great service by staff. Everything I ordered was tasty except that the chicken for the rice was really chewy.

Our friends brought us here because it’s their favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego. We can see why as the food was delicious, reasonably priced and portions were large. We did a lot of things to share including Ma sa man Short Ribs (you’ll use a knife to get them off the bone this was my least favorite of what we ordered , Islander fried rice (really tasty and not overly fried , Lotus steamed pork dumpings (a nice starter , the mango chicken (or friend’s favorite dish we got 2 orders for the 6 of us! , and Pad Woo S’en (thin silver noodles we’d call them glass noodles this was delicious . If we lived in San Diego, we’d come here often as well!

Best pad Thai in all of SD! I will only get Thai food from lotus, reasonably priced, great service. The pad Thai and drunken noodles are my favorite, for appetizers chicken satay and veggie spring rolls. We love it here!

Decided to try this place for a light soup on a chilly evening. Ordered the Tom Kai chicken soup with a side of beef dumplings and it was so delicious! Our server was very nice and friendly. The restaurant ambiance was good even though it was unusually slow. Fair pricing for Thai food in Hillcrest, will be back!

I order from here A LOT. Great food and service. By sheer frequency of ordering over the course of years I should have had at least one sub par experience and honestly don 't think I ever have. Service was great with precautions all through the pandemic, with food quality remaining. My only complaint is once or twice it 's been spicer than I 'd like (I always say 0), but I 'm am such a wuss when it comes to spice that threshold is low, ha.
