We had lunch for a birthday celebration. It was well worth the trip. The atmosphere was quaint and the service was good. The food presentation was was great. I had the red curry with chicken (4). It deserves a chef's kiss. I highly recommend and will definitely go back.

I had high hopes, only to be let down. The appetizer (summer roll) and my main dish (poke w/ tuna and salmon) were both served with rotten fish. It was disgusting. The service was even worse. Waitress didn't ask how I was doing, and when I mentioned the food was not even edible, she just handed me the bill. I won't be returning.

Best Thai food I've had in Columbia. I make it a point to come here at least once a month, more when I can. Love the poke bowls. Great prices.Vegetarian options: They are willing to accommodate.Dietary restrictions: I can not do shrimp and have never had an issue.Parking: Large lot in shopping center.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to front door.

We unfortunately came to this restaurant to celebrate my son's graduation from US Army basic training back in August. We had six people in our group, so I made a reservation early on to make sure we would get a table... and boy did they give us a table. When we arrived we saw multiple tables set up that could easily handle 4-6 people at a time. They were ALL full of 2-3 people. I think one of them had 4, maybe. The only tables they had open were ones designed for 2 people, 4 if you squished really hard. You guessed it right, they squished 6 of us in one of those tiny side tables. What's the point of a reservation, if the staff don't properly seat party size to table size? But hey we were going to make the best of it. We ordered the food. My phad thai was less that notable, I'm pretty sure I've had better out of a freeze dried bag from Backpacker's Pantry out in the woods. That wasn't the worst part. My daughter ordered a sushi roll. When it arrived it had little baby spiders crawling on it. We alerted the waiter, he was nice-ish, but seemed annoyed we were complaining. He took the roll back to the sushi station and arrived a minute later with a "fresh" roll. Do I think it was actually a brand new roll? Not in a million years. At that point my daughter is too grossed out to eat. No one else cared for their food either. We asked for the check and while waiting, we noticed that on the wall next to the table there were a bunch of, you guessed it, little baby spiders crawling all over it. ? I don't even think they took the spider roll off the ticket. None of the leftovers got taken to the hotel, and to top things off, I left my card there. Not sure if it was ever brought back to the table or if it was hidden under the check and in our haste to leave spider manor I didn't notice it. ?♂️ Not sure if it was just an off night, but if I were you, I'd double check everything for creepy crawlies.For perspective, our family absolutely adores Thai food, and has traveled to Thailand. We had better food on the side of a mountain road in Chiang Mai, cooked under a canopy. Good luck!

We walked in at 8:36 PM after a long day; the web sight says they are open til 9 pm. The waiter kind of ignored us then I asked if we could sit anywhere and he said “ the kitchen closes at 8:45”. I said “ are you asking us to leave? “ he said he wasn’t saying anything- so we left.Where I come from, if a costumer comes in 20 minutes before you close, you gladly serve them! He was rude, insolent, and clearly does not care about the business. Not going again!

Fabulous food and super friendly servers. Authentic food and you can choose heat level.Definitely will return to try other dishes. We had pad phet, a gamecock roll, and red curry with beef.
There's a lot of "thai" restaurants in town that are more high-end, but food itself is just ok. This place has reasonable prices, generous portions, and great food. Is this the best thai food ever? No. But it's REALLY good for Columbia SC. Green curry red snapper is delicious, with japanese eggplant and generous fillet of snapper. Huge portions of drunken noodles. Prices are all very reasonable. Will be my go to spot.

We are big fans of Lotus. We regularly get their crab and cheese rolls, pad Thai, and sushi. And we have never had a bad experience with our food, or the service. The atmosphere is quaint, and intimate at times. Some Items are served traditionally, and everything is authentic.

Be careful and check for numerous little black hairs in your fried rice; especially if you ask to add a food item in that they used to have in the dish, but no longer have on the menu. ?Do not know if it was intentional, but either way, its disgusting. I had a mind to give 1 star for that. It wasn’t just 1 strand, it was a few after getting closer to the bottom/side.Hair nets over areas where hair can easily fall, is a must, especially if you’re handling the public’s food!
