Family run restaurant reliably serving authentic Thai cuisine in a relaxing setting. Also available, Thai Tea, Thai Coffee, Nom Yen, Coca-Cola Beverages and the largest selection of Asian Beers in the Mid South.
We recently dined at a lovely Thai restaurant in Bartlett and was pleasantly impressed. The interior was beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and prompt.
We ordered the drunken noodles, green curry, and seafood curry, and all three dishes were flavorful and well-prepared. The drunken noodles had the perfect balance of spice and savoriness, the green curry was rich and aromatic, and the seafood curry was packed with fresh, tender seafood.
Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone craving authentic Thai flavors. A great spot for a cozy meal!
I’m in Memphis for work and really wanted good Thai food. I was lucky enough to find Lotus Thai through a Google search.
Oh my goodness- this is the best I’ve had! I ordered spicy edamame and Curry Noodle (chicken and tofu) at a spice level 4/10.
The edamame is perfectly steamed with a delicious spicy sauce. I only regretted my husband was not able to share this with me (I’m traveling for work)!
For the curry noodle I requested a thin rice noodle and added tofu to the base protein of chicken. The tofu was the star of this dish and I wished I had ordered more of it. The sauce is mildly spicy and slightly sweet. It was a perfect sweetness for me, as some Thai restaurants do overdo the sweetness.
I’ll be in Memphis for the next few weeks and I will be back to try the Tom Yum soup!! Will report back.
Btw, the place was so cute when I picked up my takeout. I had to take a pic!
SAVE YOUR MONEY.
I’ve came here about three times, every time I’ve came here, there has been a problem
Last time noodles were too hard they didn’t do anything about it.
I come in today, I ask for extra broth
It’s a problem “ are you paying for an up charge “ as if anyone has mentioned an up charge in the first place..especially when it’s called street noodle SOUP. The pictures I took is exactly how it came out . What broth I could taste, tasted like water and chili flakes .
sick of driving out my way and it being highly disappointing!!!!
Worst curry, I have ever had!! - super watery and bland. Not worth what we paid- expensive.
The food was hot and fresh. I was craving Thai food and this hit the spot. I will definitely come back when I'm on this side of town.
I LOVE THIS PLACE.
the food is just the best. the atmosphere of the restaurant itself is wonderful. they’re to go is also amazing. i’ve never had anything bad. the staff is also just the best.
I come here with my family every Friday and we love it here!

Hidden gem. Great food and even better service.
First time here and it was super delicious ! The pad se ew and the pad Thai were favorites. Come here and have some excellent Thai food
David and his wife run an amazing restaurant here. The Thai food is authentic and delicious. I never have a bad experience here!
Delicious food and fast service.
My new favorite restaurant is Lotus Thai in Bartlett. The food was amazing! The atmosphere was inviting and the service was incredible! My server Kaavya was very kind and hospitable.
Yummy! Great atmosphere and service!
A quiet shopping mall restaurant, but the food is good and they can accommodate dietary restrictions. The mango sticky rice is awesome for dessert. I like that they have tofu as a protein option. I got fried tofu with drunken noodles. It was good, but feel it would be better if they kept the gluten free vegan sauce options on hand to make the dish even better. I will probably try the curry next time since that sauce is probably naturally gf vegan.
Great service and excellent food. Had the drunken noodles and panang curry!! I would recommend to anyone 👍🏿
Very good service and food.
It was delightful as always. We ordered the fresh rolls and pad krapow. Will definitely be back
The service was phenomenal and the dinner was delicious. We had the crab Rangoon, Pad Thai, and the Drunken Noodles. We enjoyed it so much and cannot wait to come back again!
so yummy!
I love the food here! I am part Thai and it’s the best thai food I’ve had!
This is the most amazing Thai restaurant! It has amazing service and food! I am from Thailand and this is the most authentic restaurant in the area! I love the pad thai and papaya salad.
The best Thai Food in our neighborhood! Excellent service and great atmosphere. If you’re looking for the best and most authentic Thai food, this is the place!
The employees are so nice and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Will for sure back!
The Curry is amazing
Truly a great experience. Service was fast food came out quickly the gyoza was very delicious fresh crispy outside, red curry was very delicious as well could tell they use high quality ingredients. A Thai staple of mango sticky rice for desert yes please!!
Food is delicious every time I have came and service is always great and staff is friendly.
This is my wife and I's favorite restaurant. It is so good and yummy. I get the basil fried rice and it is so delicious. We absolutely love the food and the service is top notch. Everyone is so friendly and kind. One time, Pokemon was playing on the TV and that made our day!
Update: I just want to double down on how much we love Lotus Thai. The food is always fresh and delicious and the service is always great! (I am not a paid actor I swear)
The staff is helpful and friendly. It is a family owned business with authentic dishes. Everything we've had is delicious.
Very tasty food and good service. Good value.
Pad Thai is wonderful, as is the Sticky Mango Rice. Always a quiet, pleasant dining experience.
The food tastes like it is made with ingredients.
The food is very good, ne of my favorites it the pork dumpling and the service is very friendly
Food was delicious, and our server Logan was attentive and nice, without being overbearing or hovering. Spice level can vary as you wish. I had green curry and ordered a 5-6 spice level and it was perfect for me. My neighbor also ate here and said the Tom kha soup was delicious. We will be back!
The food was fabulous!! The Moo Ping was so delicious and the wait staff was so lovely! I love this place!
Amazing food and service! The crab rangoon and basil fried rices are the best I’ve had.
Best Thai food in town!
Tried the panang curry, beef fried rice, and thai street noodle soup. All were great! Highly recommend :).
The Spicy Soup was amazing! Great service and atmosphere!
I stopped in with my family. What a treat! Everything tasted perfect and my favorite was the Red Curry and the Street Noodles. Great atmosphere, it was nice and quiet due to the cold outside.
I would come back again!
Pad see ew was great
This is our second time here. The taste is consistent, staffs are friendly. Will surely come back again!👍
Food was delicious very quiet and peaceful as well as great service!!! Definitely recommend 10/10.
Friendly service. Authentic Thai dishes where you can gauge your spice level.
This is the most authentic Thai food taste in West Tennessee. We enjoyed our food choices and will definitely come again. Five stars!
I love this place! Papaya salad is the bomb.com!! 🤤
This place is really the best.
Food was yummy, servers were very friendly! Nice quiet atmosphere!
The green curry, and the papaya salad were great! The atmosphere was excellent! Great music.
Food was great! Fast service for an arty of six !
Amazing food! They always have mango sticky rice!
The food is yum! We came with family on Christmas Eve and it made our day!
Excellent food and service. Restaurant is always very clean and we always enjoy our meal. The chef is outstanding. Always very consistent as we have eaten there many times. Never had a bad meal.
I had an amazing experience all the way around. The food is always good and the service is always so welcoming. Definitely recommend.
Ordered soup uncooked mushrooms and shrimp and salt water the spring rolls were a piece of fake crab and vegges wrapped in rice nothing special horrible for $7.00..although they brought me new soup I think all they did was add coconut milk to the original salty broth..if you know good Thai food this is not you're place to eat and enjoy..sorry lotus but there's no passion in you food I will not return.
Best Thai restaurant around. We ordered the Thai duck and drunken noodles. Both were delicious. We've been eating here for the past year and the quality is consistent.
Tom kah soup was good 👍🏼
Consistently GREAT Thai food! My favorite that I’ve found in Memphis. Thai tea & pad thai with fried tofu are my go-to order. The atmosphere is relaxing with prompt service.
Everything we try was so delicious. We will definitely recommend it and we will come back
Great food exactly what I was craving very good tasting food thai tea was bomb too
We were introduced to Lotus Thai at our nephew’s birthday party. We came back this evening to enjoy more. Love the Tom Kah soup! We will be back
Wife and I have really been struggling to find good Thai near us. Went here after a run and got Pad Thai and Tom Yum Soup, and both were great! If you want spicy make sure to tell them (we are wimps and want minimal spicy). The restaurant was very clean. Staff was super friendly and quick. Portions were appropriate to price. On the whole, really great experience. We will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone looking for good Thai.
Food was excellent, nice enviorment and friendly staff!
Our favorite Thai restaurant! Amazing food and sweet staff!
Best Thai in Memphis! The absolute best curries and always fresh and good!!
Delicious food, Nice place, great service

It’s always a warm atmosphere. The staff are so great and kind. The food has never disappointed. This is too wonderful of a place to not be full every night of the week!
Every time I have been here, the service and food has been amazing. Would recommend to anyone! All of the soups I have tried have been phenomenal.
Food was great, atmosphere was excellent. I had a great time with my wife
We love this place. The cashew chicken is a favorite but everything on the menu is great.
Quick service. Great meal!
Always smiles, yums, and after dinner or lunch chilling.
Lotus Thai is a regular dinner venue for my family. We generally order vegetarian dishes. All the curries are made with your choice of protein. I really like their fried tofu with the curry noodle! Everyone is welcoming and helpful. The restaurant’s atmosphere is relaxing- the jazz piano music is great! Recommended highly!
Most authentic flavors in Memphis! We regularly go for the Namtok Beef, which is always tender and flavorful, the nicely spiced Larb, and the consistently grilled Moo Ping. The warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and excellent service keep us coming back. Don’t miss the mango cream pie—it’s the perfect finish. We would recommend.
Excellent food,customer service and ambience.
Great street soup
Yellow curry tasted so good, although potatoes were a bit burnt. Thai tea was fantastic, crab rangoons soo good. Pad Thai was yummy (though overly cooked eggs). Will likely return.
10/10 experience, staff is always very friendly and food is wonderful! I recommend the chicken pad thai.
Love the food here. Seated quickly. Service friendly and very attentive. Food served quickly and at temperature it should be at. Love coming here.
Great staff, great food. One of my favorite restaurants.
It was very comforting and amazing !
Great food, wonderful people, chill ambiance! Love Lotus Thai! My favorite place to go with friends or family!
My husband and I ate last night and had the Thai Duck, shrimp hompa, and everything was beyond delicious. The service was amazing and the ambience was amazing! I’m not one with great words or anything, but I just can’t say enough about this restaurant. This was my first time eating at a Thai restaurant, but the perfection on this Duck was just Wow! I definitely write this place a 10 out of 10! Our waitress, Jan had some excellent suggestions and was sympathetic to my aversion to vegetables as well. I will definitely be back here over and over again! 🥰🥰
The food and customer service is always top notch here. This is one of my favorites in the Greater Memphis area.

Food was very good. They were very nice
Great lunch. Thank you.
Just wanted to give a positive review for a local lunch option for me. Have ordered a couple dishes for takeout and both times the food was excellent and the service picking up was noteworthy. I would very much like to stop in for a sit down meal, but wanted to thank the staff for being awesome and making some excellent food!
The food is great and very flavorful. If you like Thai, you must try this restaurant.
We have been enjoying Lotus Thai in Bartlett, TN for over a year now and it is by far some of the best Thai in town!!!
The atmosphere is Friendly, quiet, clean and inviting!! You need to try Lotus Thai.
Have been desperate to find good Thai food. This was fantastic. Everything we had was wonderful.
Very good but very pricey Thai restaurant.
Delightful. Very accommodating kitchen for more or less spice, as requested. Family friendly, and great selection of delicious food. Also wine & beer.
We thought the food was great.
The restaurant itself kinds of dark and could use some updates.
So far, this is the best place to get Pad Thai in Memphis I have tried. Wonderful services and the food has always been excellent.
Had their foods for the first time at the Asian Night Market, and it was good. We had Papaya Salad and Satay Chicken skewers. Definitely take a chance to visit their store soon.
Husband got me takeout pad thai as I’d been craving it today, and it was oily, not well flavored, and the tofu had a funky taste to it. Very disappointing ):
Everything was great. If you like pork, I can’t recommend the Moo Ping enough. The staff was super friendly as well.
The best Thai duck I have ever had. Garlic basil sauce complimented the medley of fresh veggies. Generous portion of Tom Ka soup very flavorful.
Regular customer of Thai basil. First time here at Lotus Thai. The boxes look nice and neat. Food is alright. Papaya salad was not seasoned well at all as well as drunken noodle. Drunken noodle has no bean sprouts, less chicken and veggies. More noodles. Might be back to give it another try if improving the quality.
Great food. Everything was good. I would definitely come again. The crab ragoons were good and sweet.
Very good curry and Pad Thai. Service fast and friendly. I’ve been here twice and had good experience both times.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to leave a one star review! I have edited to 5 stars. Will be back.
First time trying and probably will be my last. I ordered the pad se ew with chicken and the thai fried chicken. There was no chicken in my pad se ew and all the noodles were stuck jn a big clump, the fried chicken was 5 little chicken wing drums that were burnt, the menu said it was 4 pcs of fried chicken not wings. Everything tasted pretty good though.
This resturant by far one of the top notch Thai places in town. I went there for lunch and dinner! Food quality is excellent!
Used it for a party catering and everything was delicious. Fiend rice, red curry, crab Rangoon, hot wings and much more stuff!
Amount was way more than expected and jt everyone enjoyed the food.
You must try their Thai tea! It is heaven in a cup!
We had lunch at Lotus Thai for the first time today. Thai tea, Gyozas, pork skewers and Pad See Ew. Everything we got was excellent. Great service too! We overheard a man at another table ask the waitress to let the chef know that the street noodle soup was one of the best dishes he’d ever had. We are definitely trying that one next time!
Great Dinner Spot. Service was fast and very nice staff. Very family friendly vibe
Food was amazing and loved the yellow curry
Omg I'm the pest control guy and they're good is off the charts I love it. I couldn't finish all my food but I am definitely coming back
Was a little worried b/c I had a favorite dish when this was under different ownership…but it was still just as good! Warning, I stated “not very spicy” for my green curry and it was a fair bit hotter than I anticipated. Still delicious though.
Awesome food!
We ordered Tom yum soup and Panang curry with chicken. We kept level 7 which became way too spicy. But the food in itself does not have any authentic Thai flavor either so it was like just tasting lot of hot chili.
So good! This is one of the best Thai restaurants in the Memphis area. Do not hesitate to try it. We love the red curry (add broccoli:), pad see ew, and veggie spring rolls.
Great Thai place in Bartlett! The curry and the noodles are great. We also had Fresh rolls which were amazing as well. On top of all this, a pretty cool variety of beers you've probably never seen/tasted from Asia Pacific.
Food and service was great!
We really enjoyed the pad thai with crispy tofu and the curry noodles. The chicken satay skewers were delicious as well. Looking forward to trying out more things there.
It was completely unnecessary to cite my previous reviews of other establishments. In regard to the quality of food: your food was completely in-authentic. The pad thai was not seasoned correctly (if at all) and was some of the blandest pad thai I have purchased from a Thai Restaurant. Secondly, the fried chicken appetizer was bland and over priced. The original review rated your service and atmosphere with 4 and 3 stars, respectively. However, after your grossly unprofessional, and frankly strange response regarding my dentist and other google reviews, you have made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I would advise you to never respond to a customer review in that manner moving forward.
Food and service was amazing! One of the best Thai restaurants in Memphis
Went with a party of 6, excellent service and delicious food. The duck was cooked perfectly, tender meat and crispy skin. The Drunken Noodles was very tasteful. We all enjoyed ourselves.
Lotus Thai restaurant in Bartlett… opened in October … authentic Thai food. Owners are super nice and even brought a sample dish that they are considering for the menu…. Give them a try if love authentic Thai food.
Ever since Jasmine Thai closed a few years back Memphis has not had a good spot for quality Thai. We have tried them all and had to go to Como, MS to Thai Hut if we wanted great That food. I'm happy to report that Lotus fills the void beautifully. Please give it a shot! Everything has been great but the pad thai is unreal!
Got an order to go yesterday for lunch. Pad See Ew. Excellent! Crisp veggies, perfectly cooked shrimp and noodles. Good price! People were friendly. Loved it!
Food was bland and tasteless. The kids fried rice with chicken was the best thing we had…and we all had to eat that because the rest of our dishes were were just terrible. Crab rangoons hardly had any filling and tasted like nothing but grease. Almost all of the $60 worth of food we bought went straight into the trash. Disappointed is an understatement!
Lotus Thai stands out from the former Thai Basil. The inside has been remodeled and updated. It feels very open and is definitely well lit. The staff is all very friendly and wonderful to talk to. The menu is definitely smaller, which by no means is a bad thing. We picked dishes that we are familiar with. We tried the panang gai, larb gai, som tham, fresh spring rolls, crab rangoon, Thai coffee, and Thai iced tea. First thing I will say about the food, is it is definitely different from Thai Basil and different than my Thai grandmother's cooking. (Thai Basil is how we used to scratch cravings for her cooking. She lives in Florida.) The fresh spring rolls and crab rangoons were good for starters. They weren't really why we visited. I personally liked the dipping sauce for the fresh spring rolls. To me it tasted like a soy sauce based sauce that had the umami of fish sauce, the zest of some citrus, and a hint of sweetness. The panang reminded me of the maesri panang curry paste, my grandmother uses. My husband got it as a level 10, the spicest they offer. They are not playing with this heat. The zucchini and squash are very interesting choices of vegetables for this dish too. The sweetness of the dish is something that we couldn't get past. The larb reminded me more of a satay. I'm not saying it isn't bad, I am just used to being able to taste more of the balance of fish sauce, lime, chili, and sugar. I did like the rice powder used for this dish. It seemed like it was toasted and ground with a mortar and pestle. It gave it a nice "crunch" texture. Next is the som tham. I like that they offer Shrimp and Beef as protein add-ins to this dish, but personally, have had it with shrimp or without shrimp. (Mostly without- that is how my grandmother makes it.) The som tham was probably my favorite. It balanced sweet, spicy, and crunchy fairly well. It will definitely scratch that itch if miss my grandmother's cooking. (Though she doesn't use green beans or shredded carrots. It will definitely do in a pinch.) I will ALSO NOTE Thai food prepartion/dishes varies on region. While I may not be used to my food being as sweet, that is not a reflection of this restaurant. Personally I'm used to more spicy/savory Thai food because of what my Grandmother and Mom made for us.
Had the red curry, which was excellent. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
It was my first time eating Thai food. It was great, until I checked my card on Saturday, only to find an additional tip was added to my card. I immediately called David who stated mistakes happen. He refunded the money; but I'm suspect of using my card here again. The food was good, I'll be back with cash only!!!
Eek, this is not authentic. Incredibly disappointing especially since this is where Thai Basil used to be.
We ordered pad Thai with fried tofu and no egg and a level 7 spicy (out of 10) green curry with fried tofu. The tofu didn't appear fried at all in either dish. The pad Thai was runny, there were no garlic chives, and the noodles weren't the typical flat wide rice noodles. The green curry had a mix of seemingly frozen and fresh veggies; overall extremely watered down and not spicy at all. Please do better! ☹️
Best Thai Food Ever!
Wow, fantastic food, super nice folks working here. Pad Thai, and yellow curry were very good. Food was exactly 15 minutes from when ordered, just as we were told it would be. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu!
This is the pad Thai you’re looking for! Fresh fresh fresh! Really quality ingredients. Spice level was spot on!! Welcome to the neighborhood!
What a gem! Nice, clean seating; friendly and fast service; incredibly tasty food. The menu has pictures which really helps and a variety of options from adventurous and spicy to mild, familiar favorites.
Beautiful interior with very friendly workers and incredible food to match. An experience like no other restaurant in Memphis. Chef Mama Thip knows what she’s doing.
I've been waiting for this spot to open since a couple months ago. The wait was worth it. I had the phad thai and one of their speciality drinks "nom yen" which is a sweet Thai milk drink that I devoured within minutes. Decided to go for the classic phad thai which was also devoured in minutes. Everyone should definitely check this place out! I'll be back :)
Excellent Thai food by Chef Thip! Simple and elegant ambience and friendly staff! We also loved the home made strawberry shortcake for dessert! Will definitely visit again!
