Lotus Thai Restaurant Allentown

Not sure if they recently got new management but the food isn’t as good as before and the menu has shrunk.not many options and very pricey. The Thai fried rice was not impressive at all, the vegetables in the rice were still hard, no cucumbers (that’s normally in Thai fried rice) and small portions for dinner. You can tell whoever is cooking back there doesn’t really know about Thai cuisine. Was very disappointed since this was my GO-TO Thai restaurant.time look else where I guess.

DO NOT fall for pics as they are not updated from previous management.

This wasn't good.
The larb was just cut up boiled chicken on a lettuce leaf. Not ground chicken and no flavor.
Drunken noodles. I've never had drunken noodles that were as bad. All of the elements were there and then drowned in soy and hoisin sauce. Why?
And the prices for ordering for pickup for this quality, outrageous.
We will not be back. Basic Thai done wrong - didn't even qualify as Thai - and other places in the area that are so much better.
Still trying to figure out the rating here.

Probably the worse food I have ever eaten. Chicken wings have an after taste of re heated chicken in the microwave, disgusting! Dumplings were cold and open presentations. The meat had no taste.horrible texture. Some French fries were not fully cook. The main course was horrific. Our food have unnecessary BIG chunks of tomatoes and peppers, why?

Chef is Dominican and honesty, people from other cultures should NOT cook other people cultures’ food unless they real know how to do it, and definitely should not add their flavor to the food!

My meal: Big chunks of tomatoes and peppers and the steak was not thin. Steak was re-fried.

FOOD IS OVERPRICED! I don’t recommend this place unless you don’t know what actual Thai Food.

Showed them I had a local flavor certificate for $20.00 worth of food. She took picture of certificate then o rdered meal to go. She told me click redeem certificate which did and then she said I could only get a $3.00 discount. I canceled order and and was not reimbursed for the certificate.

I ordered Drunken Noodles, for $20. I thought it was a bit expensive.the ambiance inside feels weird, there is a DJ booth and all the windows were closed, and all tables had linens. I guess ownership has changed.

Order a dish and guy showed me a picture on his phone on what it would look like. When it came out it looked like the ramen noodles you make on your own with a little Chicken - bland, tastless. And then they charged me 27 dollars for noodles and a n order of dumplings that were mediocre at best. I have no idea why they call it a Thai restaurant. Absolutely terrible and way overpriced.

Lotus looks temporarily closed. There’s a stop work order on the door. Thai Thai, Thai 2 are both closed til 4 and this place is closed too! Where do ppl get Thai food for lunch in Bethlehem area lol?

Undeniable craftsmanship in both the chef and his staff. I’ve never felt so accommodated in my options as a vegan in a convention restaurant. Thank you for providing Lehigh valley with superb Thai food and consistently maintaining its high quality.

We've only gotten delivery so far, but the food is top-notch - fresh and super-flavorful, the website is excellent, the delivery ETA's are always on-point, and the gentleman who does their deliveries is a sweetheart. Excellent establishment.

Just ordered delivery from them for the first time and the flavors were spot on! However, I ordered the basil stir fry and the portion size was pathetic whereas the Thai fried rice was packed in nicely. A bit disappointing to say the least especially because it was $15. Nonetheless, it all tasted amazing I’ll return but this I’ll try dining in.

Really good curry and pho. Cute vibes, could use a dedicated speaker system, but the hostess was still very friendly

Went here for the first time the other day, had the chicken pad Thai & crab meat fried rice both were so good. Just a suggestion for the restaurant: please open a window lol. I was in here for about an hour, toward the end mine & my sisters eyes started burning and tearing up I’m assuming it’s from the spices they were using in the kitchen. By the time we left, we both also smelled like straight up oil.

Tasty and well-prepared Thai food! Pad Thai was perfect, duck was crispy and tender with nice fresh vegetables. Service was great, they accommodated a food allergy for us. Fairly priced. Decor could use a refresh but it was clean and quiet. Will return for more!
