Diner Review №3

This is my favorite Thai restaurant. Always has the best food and service. So glad it’s still open 🙏🙏🙏 love it!!!

Diner Review №4

Probably the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had and never got tired of ordering the same dish during the last 15 years I went there at least once a week.
Will be missing going there and my regards to Swadee for the great hospitality and friendly environment, always!

Crispy duck is a 10/10! Delicious. Fried wontons were also excellent!

I have been going here ever since I was about 4 or 5 years old. I now go with my wife on dates! By far, the best Thai I have ever had anywhere. A true Miami staple!

Diner Review №9

Lotus Garden Thai Restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Miami, and after two visits, I can confidently say that their Tom Kha Kai soup is exceptional. The blend of flavors is truly outstanding, and the portion size is just right. Our waiter, Swadee, exemplified professionalism and brought a fantastic energy to our dining experience. His kindness and attentiveness were top-notch, making our meal even more enjoyable. It's rare to find a place that excels in both food and service, but Lotus Garden delivers on both fronts and then some. Highly recommend!

Food is really authentic and delicious. I had the green curry with chicken. It was very creamy, flavorful and a little spicy. Try the mild if you can’t handle the heat. The service is very friendly and they take good care of you. Ambiance is welcoming. Come and eat here.

Best Thai food in Miami. The flavors are authentic and fantastic.

Diner Review №15

Solid food, great prices & super friendly staff. Located in the heart of Coral Gables but without snooty-ness. Great place to have a low key dinner, celebrate a birthday or get together with old friends to catch up. Easy to find parking and in an ideal location to walk off your meal.

Diner Review №21

Every time we come I mean to write a glowing review. They have the most consistently truly delicious food. Flavorful in a way that will make you only want to eat here for Thai food. It’s been around now for two generations of owners and has never failed to delight my entire family, also for generations. It’s a gem.

Diner Review №23

The prices are quite great considering the area, that is saying something when the food is also quite good. Thai spicy dishes are amongst my favorite.

Diner Review №24

I’ve been eating here over 20 years. Excellent quality food always made perfectly. Atmosphere is great and staff are friendly and professional. Will always be one of my favorite places to eat in the gables

Diner Review №25

No nonsense place for authentic food. Service is quick and efficient. This place has been a staple in the Gables for many decades. Good lunch and dinner portions!

Diner Review №26

Diner Review №27

Let me first start by saying Thai food is one of my favorites! Found this spot through a Google search for Thai restaurants near me. The Thai was clearly old. The noodles tasted as if they had been refrigeratorated and reheated. And the rice was mushy. By far the worst Thai food in South Florida. My bf ended up getting food poisoning from the reheated shrimp we were served. Thankfully I did not partake in any shrimp. The health department needs to be called on this place. Yes its that bad! Stay away from this place. I'm almost 85% sure there is some form of dirty dining happening here.

Diner Review №28

Food took quite some time to come out.
The younger Hispanic guy was great. Good food once it arrived.

Diner Review №37

The food was tasteless ,poor quality . This place has gone downhill quite a bit .. truly a shame
I cannot recommend Lotus garden any more !!

Diner Review №38

2 stars cause the the workers do more talking then working. Literally waited 35 mins on food and it was on the counter the whole time smh

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

Food is amazing. Staff is amazing. Ambient is quiet, elegant and peaceful. Perfect for a date.

Diner Review №41

We have been going to this fabulous Family owned and operated Restaurant for over 30 years. Pad Tai is my favorite and we had the sweet and sour chicken , both were great!

Diner Review №42

I really try never to share a negative review, but this time it was multiple issues. 30 just to take our order while watching 3 other tables get their food. When we asked the manager to please take our order, he was put out. We finally got our order and it was incorrect. Wrong dressing on the salad, plus the cucumbers had been frozen (aka soggy). When you get an automatic 20% for service on your check. You expect service.

Diner Review №47

Great satay / dumplings and ba mee with shrimp

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

My fav Thai spot in coral gables

Diner Review №50

The prices listed on this companies website are not accurate. We ordered on the phone, but when we showed up the waitstaff tried to charge a higher price. He was rude and we felt it was extremely deceptive. We asked to speak to a manager and the young man told us there were no managers and no owner.

Diner Review №51

The quality of ingredients used is very poor and mostly frozen. The servers are polite but are least interested in customer service.

Diner Review №52

Great food, owner was very kind and you can tell he's very passionate about his restaurant and treating people well

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Bern coming here since I was a kid and the food doesn't disappoint still. Love their noodles and curries!

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

so good the service is amazing and the workers are very nice
the money is worth it 👍
10/10 would recommend

Diner Review №57

Food was OK. I typically take photos and post but I was relatively unimpressed and felt the food was average at best. What was more surprising was the very old carpet throughout the dining area and dated feel of the restaurant in general. When we went for dinner on a Friday around 7 PM, the place was virtually empty and I understood why after walking inside. It’s a little surprising to see such a place in the heart of Coral Gables where everything is being remodeled. It seems like an old relic, out of date and in need of a serious update. The food could also be improved

Diner Review №58

Best Thai restaurant in Miami! The crispy duck is amazing! Definitely recommend.

Diner Review №59

The food was excellent. I felt as if I was at home

Diner Review №60

10/10 in my book!! So good and tasty!! And ofc amazing customer service!

Diner Review №61

Delish seafood soup and Shrimp Pad Thai 😋 nice ambience...friendly waitress

Diner Review №62

Delicious Thai cuisine in the best location, Miracle Mile, Coral Gables. We really enjoyed our dinners.

Diner Review №63

I am officially skeptical of any Asian food rated above 3 stars in Miami. Is this a joke? I’m hurt, I’m tired. I just want a good curry to take home and eat. The food was on time and the order was correct but mother of pearls it was so bland! Please keep your thoughts and prayers with Miami as it desperately tries to find itself good Asian food

Diner Review №76

Always a good experience, I love this place! Great local Thai restaurant with yummy food made with love. Thank you Lotus Garden!

Diner Review №77

I ordered a vegetable curry and it was very delicious. I appreciate them accommodating my special requests for this. The chicken lettuce wraps are ones to assemble yourself which make it a bit messy, but still tasty. We ate outside and both the indoor and outdoor dining areas were a little tasteless. The outdoor chairs were very uncomfortable.

Diner Review №78

Wonderful longtime fav in the Gables...I love their PadThai with Shrimp, Curry Scallops and Sapporo on Tap! Plus I have food allergies and they are very accommodating! Swanni and Staff are very nice!

Diner Review №102

First few times I have been here food has been amazing, however just ordered in and have to say that I'm beyond disappointed, rice was dry, tasteless and with minimal meat.
Not sure if they changed chefs or all this pandemic thing has lower standards but I'll say I will not be ordering from this place again. Sorry guys.

Diner Review №103

Diner Review №104

Lotus garden is a gem, very nice ambiance and delicious food. I had the sour sweet fried tofu and it was one of the most delicious plates I've had in a while. Their rice is also fresh and not salty and the spring rolls were very good. Overall, our entire table has nothing but good reviews. Would definitely recommend for any vegans out there.

Diner Review №105

This is an Excellent family owned and operated restaurant that serves up delicious and clean home style food. The food is locally sourced and the fresh ingredients really shine in every dish. They are open for take out and delivery. Don’t hesitate to try them if you have not already. You won’t be disappointed! Cheers

Diner Review №106

It has been my go place for Thai food for a long time. A must for every family member that comes visit.

I was reluctant to come in cause the place was empty (at 6pm on a Thursday), but the reviews were all so good, and they weren’t wrong! Friendly staff, excellent food. I had red curry, tum yum soup and Thai iced tea. All for $25 with tax.

It's really good! I ordered the pad Thai and was not disappointed. That do a really good job of it and they make it really fast. It's also got really good prices too. That is much appreciated.

Diner Review №140

Thai food and the setting here is very good. This place is absolutely outstanding. The service was very friendly and attentive. It has a great interior. This place has great reviews for a reason.

Diner Review №141

Really good quality food and quantity too. Took a little bit on the long side for the dishes to arrive but still it was worth the wait. Price may be on the higher side but the ambience is nice, service is excellent, and it's not overpriced just because it's near miracle mile

Diner Review №142

Very authentic Thai food without being supplemented by sushi and Japanese food. Good prices, large portions.

Diner Review №143

This is a great spot to get Thai food.

Diner Review №144

The best food and service incredible

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

Had the most amazing spring rolls and volcano tofu ever. Crispy spring rolls, crispy tofu, and their sauces are to die for. Will definitely be back.

Diner Review №147

It gives a great family-run vibe. They're prices are extremely reasonable. Their food is always consistent. And they're just SO nice. I ordered the Volcano with shrimp, it's delicious. Definitely, go check it out.

Diner Review №148

Good food ,awesome service

Diner Review №149

Diner Review №150

Modest restaurant that has been around forever. Tasty thai food served with a hearty side of we-don’t-need-to-give-a-hoot-about-pretentious-decorating. And they don’t need to.

Diner Review №151

Good food NOT worth the wait. Got there at 12, no food until 1:20. When we asked the waiter what was taking so long he seemed annoyed by us. NOT GOING BACK.

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

Great Thai restaurant. Have been eating here for over 25 years. Great service and food. My favorite is Jumbo a la King.

Diner Review №154

A4,F4. jumping shrimp and the Pla Pla Ped
The bestest! The only place in Miami for authentic Thai food.

Diner Review №155

Diner Review №156

Best restuarant ever. I always come here... my fave dish is the beef baby corn (not on the menu)! My dad gets the fish and my mother loves the volcano chicken.. the owner is super nice and caring and this is a family owned restuarant, so be patient the food is worth the wait.

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

Diner Review №165

Diner Review №166

Diner Review №167

We went here for Father’s Day dinner after reading it was rated in the 10 best Thai restaurants in Miami. We started with spring rolls and they we good. Next was the lettuce wraps and although good & fresh, they lacked additional sauce that most places offer so it was somewhat dry. The main dishes were excellent and fresh seafood. It seemed that the food prep took longer than expected as we were there early and the restaurant was not full yet. We would dine here again.

Diner Review №168

I’m not sure where all the good reviews come from on this restaurant as the food was very bland which normally isn’t the case with Thai food which I have eaten a lot of. The service was very good though.

Diner Review №169

Food and service are amazing. Is one of those restaurants that have been there forever or at least give that impression. The ambience could be updated to make it more trendy, but the food is seriously worthy. The owner is always around. Perfect for large or small groups. Kids are welcome. Very family-friendly. Street parking available. Menu with prices included available online.

Diner Review №170

Great service! Clean food & desserts.

Diner Review №171

Massaman Curry for takeout is less than it once was at Lotus Garden. Effectively no nuts, no avocado, no onions; just potato and tofu. $17!

Diner Review №172

Miami rating is 4 stars - National adjustment would be 3

Vegetarian review: This is one of the TWO Miami Thai restaurants that can serve vegetarian iterations of most of their foods without fish or oyster sauce. The food itself is cooked well. The spice levels are true to Miami being two points lower than expected. The medium level of heat was closer to mild sauce at Taco Bell.

The spicy fried tofu was too sweetish and seemed like something that was stir-fried with a standard sweet and chili sauce. The Thai vegetables in a a basil sauce was better.

I was disappointed they do not carry eggplant - which is a standard in Thai cuisine!

Diner Review №173

Best Thai food in town!

Very good food. Highly recommend the volcano dish. Tried it with chicken.

Diner Review №181

Good good and ambience. That area is happening

Diner Review №182

Really good food, like - really good. In budget too. But, the service is not always the best. I think they need ti hire more people in order to keep up with the time constraints that many guests have during their lunch breaks.

Good food, but need some work in the service department.

Diner Review №183

The food was great, and the service was excellent. The prices were also very reasonable. I will definitely go back.

Diner Review №184

The place is not the fanciest or top of the line, but the lunch prices are great and so is the food. Service feels friendly and helpful.

Diner Review №196

Incredible food and service!! Owners always at the restaurant and behind the scenes in the kitchen. Cant miss experience.
