I have visited the Thai Lotus on numerous occasions and always had great service and food. Best Thai I have had outside of Thailand – the Tom Yum I cannot rate highly enough!!! -although the Baileys ice cream pie is rather special so leave room if you can.
Plates are beautiful and obviously authentic, and service has always been friendly and attentive.

Initially, the service was attentive, but after delivering our entrees and then mains, we didn’t see the waitress again until we got up to pay the bill. The food was very good, but a bit on the pricey side. There were at least 5 waitresses on (it was a Saturday night), but they were constantly standing behind the bar, either talking to each other or having drinks themselves and not paying the appropriate amount of attention to their diners. Ours and another table didn’t get our plates cleared away at all and the bill was not brought over. A bit of a shame the service was so poor as this really lets down an otherwise very good Thai restaurant.

On arrival I sat down at a table, took my jacket off, was reading a menu and waited 15min for someone to come over to see if I was ok if I would like a drink or take my order, But no they were behind the counter talking laughing and leaning on the bar, I had to go up to the counter to place my own order and drink, thought this was rather rude service, and then waited 30 min, only two other people were inside eating, Lady came out with my order in takeaway containers, I told her I was planing on eating it here, she turned around gave me a dirty look and walked back to the kitchen with my order, 10 min latter she arrives with it on a plate, The plate was chipped verry bad verry noticeable, after I had finished eating I did feel like another drink and a desert, again nobody came to check on me, so I up and left very unhappy But the food is very nice can not fult the food, jut the service of the place, If I go back it would be in a takeaway container as Id rather not eat off there plates again NEVER again

We are so sorry that you had a less than satisfactory experience but the circumstances you describe were so unusual we remember the incident well. When you arrived you took a takeaway menu from beside the front door and sat at a table reserved as a waiting area…    More »

I live close by in Napier and, in my opinion, this restaurant more than gives the very good Thai Chef a run for its money. The food quality and value-for money cannot be faulted.

I live in Taradale so have eaten here often. I think they have changed owners recently, ie early 2008, however the food is still honest, fresh and very authentic. Not as good as the Thai restaurant along the Parade, see other Thai restaurants in Napier for my other review. Well worth a visit, can be a bit slow if busy but the food is well worth waiting around 25 mins for your meals to arrive.
