Lotus of Bangkok Restaurant — Restaurant in Saint Helens

Unfortunately we had a very bad experience at this place. Starting off, the cup of water had a lipstick stain, we weren't worried since it could be a little mistake but when they brought us our plates for appetizers one had a dried piece of rice, and the other one had some chili smeared on it. We understand it could have just been an off day and carried on after they swapped them for clean ones. We ordered one appetizer (potstickers) which were fine. We also ordered one pad se ew, one red curry, and 2 orders of orange chicken. Also 2 drinks. The pad se ew was fine, not the best but not terrible. Same with the curry, it was good enough but nothing amazing. The problem was with the orange chicken. They looked like Tyson boneless chicken wings and were rock hard. Everyone at the table tried them and they were so so hard. We couldn't believe it and after we asked them they went and got the chef and brought them back saying they were fine. We told them we couldn't eat them, and that they were way to hard to bite through. Ended up taking them back (and still charged us for them btw) and to top it off they never brought our drinks out, ever. We waited and waited but nothing. When the bill came we asked them about the chicken and the drinks and although they removed the drinks (that they never brought) they refused to remove the orange chicken. We paid and will not be returning, we recommend trying other places before you...

The whole experience was a disaster. Our group was seated promptly, but as soon as we were sat down at our table, we were suddenly having to wave down the waitresses for everything. We didn't even get menus until we asked. We had to wave down another waitress just to order our food. Then we waited another 30 minutes just get drinks, but only half our party received their drinks. When we brought up that half our party didn't have their drinks, they tried to charge us for a second round of drinks and we had to sit and clarify for 10 minutes that we hadn't received anything yet and needed our first drinks. Finally. After 45 minutes we all had our drinks, expect we didn't. But moving on from that. All of our food came out at different times. Half of us were eating while the other half didn't get their food. Again, we had to wave down a waitress and ask where the food was. Come to find out, they never even wrote down half the order. This is now well over an hour into our visit here. When we asked to have our check, there were items added on there that we didn't order, adding $50 to our order. Overall, service is horrible. Food is medicore. Drinks are at least strong. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!! Go anywhere else but here. It's...

My wife and I have been doordashing for them for awhile and decided to go there tonight for dinner. I have had a lot of Thai food in my life, but this was by far the best, we were busy all day and just went nuts and ordered a ton lol. I had the Basil fried chicken, and it was absolutely amazing, I'm not a fan of chicken on the bone, mind changed. My wife had the Satay salad it was fantastic! The appetizer plate was perfectly cooked and was so flavorful. A few things about this place... First.. service is outstanding, speed of the orders is amazing, whomever is doing the cooking, you are a god. The atmosphere is just absolutely relaxing and feels like somewhere you want to be. Then... There are the ceiling fans.. it may seem odd to focus on such a thing, but for me it just gives me a reminder of how we conserved electricity back then... Take the time and look up.. pulleys and belts remind me of a time of innovation it's a beautiful thing if you take the moment to stare and admire it. Best place ever. Thank you for all you do for the community Lotus of Bangkok!, We will...
