Lotus Thai Cafe

I got my first Massaman curry there and I was amazed at how good it was.
Absolutely recommend it!
Small sitting area, the outlet doesn't reflect the quality of the food, the owner is nice and the cooking is wow! I don't know how she does it but she puts so much flavour in her food, it's stunning.
I will definitely be going back there for a Massaman again.

Purchased through Groupon and was a very nice surprise! Currys were amazing and full of flavor! Would definitely recommend without hesitation. I observe this might be a family business and deserves all the support they can get.

Delicious food at reasonable price, fast service and central location in the heart of Surfers Paradise. I've asked for mild Yellow Curry and was pleasantly surprised it was in fact cooked as very mild so I could appreciate all flavours. Cooked from fresh for individual customers too.

Nice place, very close to the centre of Surfers Paradise. Food was nice, well priced and fairly authentic. Wait times were long though and the place wasn't full. Though to be fair they did say they were short staffed.
Recommend the fried rice with seafood. Large serve and tasty!

The lady at the counter was delightful very friendly and made us feel welcome. The food was tasty we finished everything. Must check it out. We will visit again.

Delicious food! Been here already twice and definitely coming back. Sandy the owner is sweet and very acomodating for food allergies and vegan options.

What a hidden gem ! By far the best Pad Thai I've ever had. So much flavour, and such a good value for $10! Cannot wait to try some more dishes here. Very friendly and fast service. If you work or live in Surfers or just passing through this is a MUST !!

Excellent food. A bit hidden away and not the greatest location but makes up for it with some of the best Thai food I had in a while.

Never had a Thai Pie before. Fabulous. Lovely food and lovely people. Highly recommended.

Excellent fresh food and the owner was very helpful. Definitely worth it 😀

Really good food and outstanding service. Best thai food on the coast 😁

I purchased a dinner 4 two from Groupon. Although excited by the promise it turned out to be a very disappointing Birthday dinner celebration. Small portion sizes and not good value for money. I don't like to complain but would never go back.

Thai food was no where close to Thai. Never saw raisins in fried rice. And quantity of their large rice was extremely small. We also ordered spicy Thai soup which came in a 200ml container size small bowl for which we paid $14 and taste was just sour.felt like drinking vinegar in hot water. All over it was extremely low standard. And disappointing. We just tasted the food and left everything else and paid and walked off. The only good thing was the guy taking order. Was polite and friendly. I request owner to try Thai food somewhere else and see how it tastes

Very disappointing, we actually read good reviews before dining with them. Quantities are quite small for the prices compared to other restaurants in the area. Fried rice has raisins, cashews, various shaped carrots, no flavour and it didn’t taste like it was made in a wok, maybe a pan. The hot soup was just sour and for $13 quite a small portion. Waiting time was also longer considering only 5 other customers other than the 2 of us. All in all, not recommended if you like your portions large or are a regular Thai food eater. The customer service was good though.

Edit: Owner assumed in their reply that because we were Indian we may not have enjoyed the food. Well we have been in Australia for 20years and Thai is our go to cuisine as it is available everywhere. We visited you just because we were in the area. Please taste your fried rice and then try it from Chiangmai Thai or Cocohut, at least look at the colour. Also just a suggestion, please ask customers if they are allergic to nuts if you are not going to mention it on the menu. Fried rice unlike padthai usually doesn't contain nuts. And if you are charging $13 for soup please serve in a bigger bowl (not a ramekin with lid) or bring the price down a bit.
If you ever come to Sydney, please visit Thai Pothong in Newtown or Thai Riffic (cafe style) in Parramatta.
