Description

Snacks are what Thai Lotus does best. Triangular curry puffs like rangoons stuffed with Indian samosa filling; Thai-style dim sum dumplings still hot and damp from the steamer; skewers of chicken satay and simple fried shrimp served with a side of Thai sweet and spicy sauce that hits you in the mouth with an unusual and unexpected balance of the two. Yes, the kitchen cooks up an entire menu -- seven kinds of curry, six salads, stir-fry entrees and all the noodle dishes common to the transplanted Thai canon -- but most people come here for the apps, for bowls of soup, and for the house-special rotisserie chicken: half a chicken, hacked into chunks of tender, juicy white meat still on the bone.

    We've lauded Thai Lotus more than once, and with good reason: The unassuming eatery, tucked next to Chianti and El Senor Sol, could use a little promotion. And it definitely deserves it. Because once... More »

    Standing in front of Thai Lotus after our first meal there, Laura and I look at the place, amazed. Stuffed and carrying takeout, we need something to aid our digestion. "In Florida," Laura says, "my grandmother used to take a walk every time she... More »

    At Thai Lotus, the crew is Thai and the food obviously Thai, unkinked for the American palate, presented the way the best immigrant cuisines are — as recalled from home. The menu is, for the most part, a standard retelling of the country's culinary history: lad na and pad thai, curried this and that, and "hot" meaning hot-hot, like crying gasoline hot. But it takes one small diversion, into a section marked "Rotisserie" that has only one dish listed: a rotisserie chicken that is flat-out amazing. After you order it, you can hear the thunking of the cleaver as the chicken is deconstructed — and when it arrives, accompanied by rice and a bowl of thick red sauce flecked with dried hot pepper, it's steaming like something out of a commercial. Under that steam, the chicken has been roughly hacked into bone-spurred chunks, its golden-brown and fatty skin perfectly roasted and still attached, the meat inside juicy and incredibly tender.
