The family that owns and operates Lotus Thai House are worth the visit alone. I had a great time sitting at the bar on my last visit and shooting the breeze with them. It is great to see different generations of a family working together under the same roof. The grandfather is awesome and quite the conversationalist. The prices are reasonable. The Bangkok beef curry has been one of my favorite meals. The basil chicken should not be missed. I usually order green curry at Thai places and this one did not disappoint. Brown rice is available if you want to go the healthy route and stray from jasmine. The spice levels are from 1 to 3. I ordered the 3 and wish they would have kicked it up a notch. It is worth departing from my usual Thai Kitchen in Lakewood to make the trek across town to Lotus Thai. It also gives incentive to stop a few hundred yards down the road and have a great beer at the Bottle House to wash it all down.
