I have been a fan of the restaurant all the way back when it was Sue's Thai Kitchen. I've been to Thai Lotus a handful of times. Saturday night, they were quite busy. Yet their one server got to us as quick as she could. Big props to her. But the food is, in my opinion, the best Salem has to offer. I graduated from Salem High School and lived my entire childhood in Washington County. This may be the best restaurant in Salem of my entire life. The food is complex, offering great complexity of spices. The portions are balanced with meat and veggies. And you are rightfully full when finished. It really is a top tier restaurant. If in a bigger city, Thai Lotus would be even more notable.

This place is amazing! Lunch is a limited menu but only 10.99 for so much food, also includes soup, small salad and spring roll. Tried it for the first time today and already want to go back

One of my favorite restaurants. I love spicy food and I appreciate that they let you pick your level of spicy. I wish we had a restaurant like this close to home, but still worth the 30 minute drive.

Very clean restaurant, very kind staff, delicious food! I've been here three times now and will return. I have tried something different each visit and enjoyed every meal. The staff is helpful and kind. They seem to have a lot of repeat customers, as the lady who takes the orders knows many people by name and knows their orders. I plan to bring family and friends here as well. I always feel good, healthy and light, after eating the food they serve. I wish I could give them more stars!

We love eating here especially for lunch. They have a wonderful 7.99 deal. It comes with an entree, rice, salad, spring roll, soup and orange slice. And it is all delicious! Pictured is the Cashew Chicken and Yellow Curry. In the evenings it does get a bit pricey with everything being a la carte. I could knock a star off for that but it tastes so wonderful that I will not do that. Just be prepared. Or better yet go for lunch.

Best Thai food around with amazing service!! I highly recommend visiting here if you like Thai food. I had the crab rangoon and drunken noodles. Food was excellent and the the waitress was amazing! I will be back!

I've only been here a couple times, but I've never been disappointed! Most recently I went on a lunch date here with my Mom and I got the Spicy Basil Stir Fry with chicken and it was amazing! It wasn't "spicy" as in hot, pepper, makes-you-turn-red-and-sweat spicy, but it was flavorful spicy, which is right up my alley. The atmosphere was quiet, comfortable, and elegant and our waitress was attentive. I'm glad I was able to have some food left over to take home with me so I can enjoy the rest of it for lunch later!

Everything about this place is amazing. The atmosphere is easy, relaxed, and well suited for an enjoyable dining soiree. The food was flavorful, presented in an appetizing and picturesque manner, and left me wanting more. The service was impeccably kind and attentive. Our drinks were never empty, our appetizers and food were delivered at appropriate times. She was expert at making our experience memorable. We will be returning to this location.
