Lotus Thai Restaurant St Thomas
About This Spot
Stepping into Lotus Thai Restaurant in St. Thomas is like entering a quiet retreat tucked within the warm embrace of a century-old estate. The soft glow of a chandelier overhead, the subtle charm of vintage woodwork, and the gentle crackle of a fireplace create a setting that immediately settles you into an easy, unhurried rhythm. It’s a place where the day’s noise fades, leaving space for meaningful connections and the simple pleasure of a shared meal.
Here, the aroma of fragrant herbs and sizzling spices mingles with the cozy hum of friendly conversation. The dining area feels intimate yet unpretentious, inviting both familiar faces and first-timers to linger without rush. The service, quietly attentive and kindly, mirrors the restaurant’s approach — thoughtful, genuine, and quietly proud of the care behind each dish.
Eating at Lotus Thai is less about crossing items off a menu and more about embracing moments of discovery with every bite. Whether you’re savoring the delicate balance of tamarind in a plate of Pad Thai, enjoying the comforting depth of a thoughtfully prepared Pho noodle soup, or indulging in the crisp warmth of freshly handcrafted spring rolls, the flavors unfold naturally, never overwhelming but always inviting another taste. The portions respect both appetite and appetite for variety, making it a welcoming spot for solo meals, casual lunches with friends, or relaxed dinners with loved ones.
There’s an understated elegance in how the restaurant marries tradition with a welcoming neighborhood spirit — hospitality feels personal, and the food carries a comforting authenticity that reflects time-honored recipes passed down with care.

Lotus Thai always hit the spot when we feel like not cooking after a long days work. The food is flavourful, plentiful, and reasonably priced. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. One of our fav spot in St. Thomas!

This was a great experience and a really tasty meal. One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve eaten at in Canada. Really great but simple and clear selection of food at very reasonable prices. The staff here were also incredibly kind and welcoming. The food is delicious.the spring rolls are meat from scratch as is all the food. They also have some delicious snacks for sale in the room to the right of the entrance. Definitely worth a visit.

The atmosphere is nice and cosy. The restaurant is inside an iconic doctors house from the 1800s, which I love. The service is curteous and professional. The food is the best Thai I have had in a very long time.

When I entered with my co-worker, the server instantly came to our service. She was soft-spoken, kind, and helped us get a seat. I didn't know what to get, so I got what my co-worker got: a soup. When I had the first sip of the soup, I could instantly tell there were a lot of flavors; the chicken was perfectly cooked. The entire meal was really well-portioned; it was not too much and not too little. The atmosphere was giving off a peaceful feeling. I do recommend coming here. If you want a nice small diner with some really good food, come here.

Took my girls here for lunch, our first time. They shared the platter of appetizers and pad Thai with a side order of cold rolls. Everything was delicious, portions are huge, and price was very reasonable. The little dining area was super cute too, in an old estate building built over 100 years ago intact with chandelier and fireplace. After I paid the bill the owner gifted me two addition orders of cold rolls since my girls loved them so much. Such a kind gesture, a family-run local business at its finest.

Lotus Thai is a true hidden gem in the heart of St. Thomas! From the moment you walk into the cozy, quaint atmosphere, you’re greeted with a warm smile that sets the tone for a great meal. The wontons were a standout—plump, flavorful, and wrapped in a pastry that hit that elusive 'perfect crunch' without being too hard. The spring rolls followed suit, generously filled and fried to golden perfection. I especially loved the dipping sauce; it was beautifully balanced and tart without being overly salty. For roughly $20, the value for this combo is unbeatable. I’ll definitely be back!

Stopped in based on a recommendation. Ordered the Pad Thai and the Drunken Noodles... very good! Tasty, generous portions. The staff was friendly but overworked, being alone today. The ambiance is very pleasant, would go back.

I have never received a meal so quickly after ordering! Food was delicious, ample portion size. We enjoyed a quiet dinner with family here; the only diners that evening since the restaurant does most of its business as takeout. Service was non-intrusive but timely.
