I was in the area for an appointment that was delayed, so I decided to get lunch. White Lotus was the closest restaurant near the location of my appointment so I decided to order food from them. I ordered the mango and prawn salad and samosas. Both selections were AMAZING!!!!! It was literally the BEST Thai food I ever eaten. I live in SF and unfortunately am only in Albany approximately once a month, but I will DEFINITELY order food each time I am there. The person who took my order was polite and friendly, and the order was processed quickly. The price was reasonable. I would STRONGLY recommend for anyone in the area who likes Thai food to stop by White Lotus Thai Cuisine. I can't wait to...
This place has taken over as my favorite Thai restaurant in the East Bay. The food is authentically Thai. It's spicy as you would expect Thai food to be so. The flavors remind me of the flavors I've had in Bangkok with fresh peppercorns and other Thai spices. All the dishes that we ordered were very good from the Pad See Eew to the fried fish, deep fried so well that you can eat the crunchy bones. This place is not usually busy. I hope that it would be so that it could stay in business because we need a good Thai restaurant like this.
Having traveled extensively in Thailand, White Lotus is the most authentic Thai food I have found here. Their menu is extensive with a very wide variety of dishes, each well prepared and delicious.If they have Hor Mok on the menu, try it. It is delicious and I've never seen it on any menu in the Bay Area except at White Lotus.Many US Thai restaurants just use fish sauce and sugar to make a simple sauce and every dish tastes the same...not so with White Lotus this is the real deal.
I dined at White Lotus for lunch on Saturday and it was INCREDIBLE! We ordered the green papaya salad, thai sausage, basil fried rice, hor mok, fish fried #5 style and pad woonsen. All the dishes were so fresh and flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised with the hor mok because the curried mousse description initially turned me off, but we ordered it anyway because my fellow diner said it was her favorite dish. And it did not disappoint!!!

Probably one of my all time fave restaurants in this area. We've frequented White Lotus for years!! I had dinner here with my now husband 12 years ago when we just started dating and this restaurant is just as good *if not better* than it was then! Their service is always so great too! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu but our faves are the red duck curry, pad thai, and chicken satay skewers!
Love the fried fish and green mango lemongrass sauce. I get the pompano. They fry the bones which you can eat. Just be careful. Also a big fan of the fish in curry mousse, not a common dish at other restaurants. Parking: Easy street parking
With so many Thai restaurants around it’s easy to overlook White Lotus driving by on San Pablo, but it’s absolutely worth a visit for some of the best Thai in the East Bay. Try the hor mok, khao mok kai, and pork rib hung lay curry.
It’s still the best food and service! Every dish is perfection. We always start with the Roti and curry and it just gets better from there. We finish off with a dessert like mango and sticky rice. Happy, happy!
