Lotus Asia's Best - San Luis Obispo

Food:4/5 Ambiance:5/5 I went to this place after 2 of our friends recommended it. My order is as shown in pictures: Pad Thai Golden bags Crispy rice lettuce wrap Thai iced tea All the starters were good. I can highly recommend the golden bags. Perfect combination of crispy from the outside and mushy from the inside. It is filled with sweet potato smashed if I’m not wrong. I kinda liked the lettuce

Delicious curries and fast service at good prices! My party of 2 was seated right away when we walked in on a Saturday night, and after ordering, our food was served in less than 10 minutes. Don 't worry, there 's lots of time to peruse the menu, and just as much to talk after the meal. The interior has a buzz of conversation and is nicely appointed with good lighting, and there 's patio seating with heaters too. The dishes are just the right size to satisfy for a normal meal, and they have the perfect amount of meat and veggies. The spice scale is rather gentle: spicy was what I expected for medium (think spicy chicken nuggets at a fast food joint). The extra spicy option has a disclaimer but I would have gone for it to even begin approaching runny-nose territory. Expect $21/person after tip (add more for fancier meat options, drinks, or appetizers).

Most dishes can be veganized, but their curries seem not. Interesting and friendly staff about vegan options, not with fish sauce or eggs.

Restaurant is located in downtown SLO so very small town with a few main streets with restaurants, bars and shops. Since I was on a business trip, it was dinner for 1 and got. Table fast. The food was really delicious, but the service wasn't the best. They were very busy so I tried a little more understanding. Pad see ew was really delicious and beautiful portions. I ordered it with shrimps and they were pretty generous. Also, the cream cheese Wintons as an appetizer probably ordered the best I had in awhile. They were crispy not oily and had a good amount of filling

Love Thai Palace! Eating is fantastic. The prices are good. Great service, both eat and eat.
