Many restaurants are rated based on a single experience and a single meal. I have been to White Lotus numerous times and have ordered a plethora of dishes and have never had anything less than a delicious meal with beautiful presentation. Close your eyes and point at a random menu item and you will be more than satisfied with what delicacy arrives on your plate.

Good pad Thai, I like mine a little wetter then most. I love my panang with lots of sauce and spicy, this panang was more peanutty in flavor. Had both chicken and beef both were plenty and tender.

Only got take-out, so I can't comment on service, but the food and portion size was amazing. We got two entrees for two of us and had two awesome dinners! Also, just walking in there, the establishment was very cozy and we were greeted very warmly. We will definitely be back soon!

The food is great. We ordered and shared at least three dishes. The red curry was good and the pad ke mao had excellent flavor. I think they forgot to ask us our preferred spicy level for the Ke Mao, so if you can't handle spicy, make sure to tell them how spicy or not you want your dish. The samosa was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend.

My bf and I went there on a Saturday evening, there was only one waitress and it was a little busy. The waitress was a little messy and forgetful, but under that amount of stress on a Saturday, the waitress tried her best. The food: I am a big fan of lao papaya salad, however the one i had, it was salty. The crab paste was excessive.The chicken thai basil with rice plate was good but i would prefer a little bit more of the thai basil leaves. I wasn't tasting the thai basil flavor. The green curry dish was salty. We had to add water to the dish.

We got take-out from White Lotus Thai Cuisine on August 18, 2016 and my son and I got violently ill the next day. A terrible case of food poisoning that lasted three days. We reported the restaurant to the Alameda County Health Department. Turns out the restaurant was cited in June 2016 for numerous violations, including a serious violation that can lead to the spread of food borne illnesses. We strongly recommend you avoid it at all costs.

Good food. Green Pumpkin curry was supposed to be the really spicy curry it was tasty yet not spicy hot. The temperature of the curry was not hot either. The sticky rice was steaming when I removed the top. Nice. We came in around 830pm so not too busy. More people strolled in after 9. Main objective of this outing was the pumpkin curry and it was not spicy even after asking for super spicy. Nonetheless, I finished all my curry and all my sticky rice and was satisfied.

Walked in during open hours and no one greeted me as I stood there with my partner for several minutes trying to get someone attention. At some point we figured it was just open seating so we sat down, still trying to grab someone's attention (the place was nearly empty with waiters walking here and there). The menu looked great but we still didn't get any attention from waiters except one who caught my eye then turned away again. It was a strange experience, but we didn't feel welcome. Won't come here again.. I don't like the feeling of being invisible.

We come here a lot and there’s hardly ever more than two or three parties in here... I’m sad that they’ll close down... the food is absolutely incredible! The servers are wonderful and they’ll even let you practice Thai with them! I always get the Khao Soi, but I’ve had other items and they’re all delicious. Please patronize this wonderful restaurant. I can’t stand to see them go!

I like this little place on San Pablo as it is the closest to authentic Thai food even though it caters to the American palette. The Nam Tok with sticky rice is my favorite. Phad Thai was a disappointment and did not meet my expectations. Chicken satay was good but the peanut sauce did not compliment it. There should be a balance between quantity and pricing.

Don't overlook this great place just because it's not on Solano, but rather around the corner on San Pablo. Food is consistently fresh-tasting and well prepared and the people are friendly. The noodle dishes, in particular, are better than at other Thai places, in my opinion. For something fancier, try the bass fillet with fresh mango sauce. Their storefront is more spacious inside than it seems from the outside, so there's usually no wait for a table.

Good Thai food; it was our second visit. We will definitely go back, but it's not a place I would feel completely comfortable recommending to friends. The restaurant space is too large, and the wait staff person is sometimes hard to find when you need her. Good value, large selection, dishes arrived rapidly.

The food lacked flavor. The fried rice was like mush. The Chili's weren't even spicy they sent us home with almost like they were watered down. The pork balls were tough and probably frozen. The silver noodle salad had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. It was expensive and I thought it should have been better.The chicken wings were completely and totally under seasoned although the sauces were okay they didn't hide the fact that the food itself was significantly bland
