“This will be another reason on why I love Lucky Lotus. I went and picked up some Beef Pad Thai. It unfortunately had no spice which is not normal for them. I went ahead and called to see if I could possibly get one re made. The were very apologetic and said they will remake one for me to come pick up. I have never had a bad experience with Lucky Lotus and will continue to support them not only for the food but service as well. If you haven't tried them you're missing out!!“
“Tasty & well prepared food, adequate accommodation of food allergies, friendly & accommodating staff.P.s,You get to choose how spicy you want each individual dish.

“I’ve been a regular here for the last year. Their egg rolls are some of the best in town. The beef and brisket Pho is easily the best in town as well. I will try other Thai/Pho restaurants, but always find myself disappointed it doesn't live up to Aroy Dee.“
“Always GREAT, but today, they were busy with several larger parties, and the quality of what is normally delicious was affected.The egg rolls were cold and very greased. They apparently shook the red pepper a little too fast and ruined the Chicken Basil as it was too seasoned hot to eat.The waitress did a good job, taking our order and making sure we had water and extra napkins. Thank you for your great service.“
“I'm glad a friend told me about this place. I'm not from around here and needed something that would make me feel at home, food I was familiar with. Food just like how I have at home. The papaya even had carrots like my moms. The Waitresses were very nice and accommodating. I recommend going here if you're missing home and need a little good old home cooking. Or just go because the food is great and staff are super awesome. Thanks for helping me feel like I was back at home!“
“An amazing experience. I was in the area visiting from Omaha, and I would definitely make the two hour drive just to go back for this experience. I had an attentive waitress. She got the order right. The food was hot and fresh. The spice level was on point. The mussels were great. I also had the pineapple delight ? amazing. My wife had the combination fried rice which was also very good. Now I can’t rave enough about the crab Rangoons. They were the best crab Rangoons I have ever had. We went back the next day for lunch and the food, service, and atmosphere were the same as the previous day. It definitely is worth trying you will forever love this place.“
“For a very small space, this restaurant hosted our very large group from out of town with kindness and grace. They opened the kitchen just for us and served us delectable food. Thank you to all of the workers for welcoming us like you did and I will certainly return the next time I’m in Des Moines.“
“Delicious!!! I had the yellow curry stir fry and the altoona roll. Both soooooo good. Enough for 2 or 3 big meals, too.Friendly prompt service. Clean space.Cost was $30 with tip. For the quality and amount, that seemed right on.Their menu has so many things I wanted to try. I can see this becoming a regular go to.I asked for medium spice level and also feel like they delivered.Thanks Cool Basil!“
“5 out 5⭐️ We had the calamari, and two noodle bowls. I got the spicy siracha & my husband had a garlic pesto. It was AMAZING. Will definitely go back. We went on a Monday around 12pm and they were pretty empty (as to be expected for a Monday afternoon) but still had good, timely service. We had our baby with us and unfortunately they don’t have a changing station in the women’s restroom. But otherwise- it was great! ❤️“
“One of the best meals I've ever had! The atmosphere was very relaxing, the dish choices were staggering, and the level to which the foods for every dish complimented each other truly left nothing left to desire, especially with the ability to customize the spice for every dish! I haven't had Thai food before, but if this is what it's like I love it! Appreciate the desert options as well, and would absolutely recommend the macarons! Absolutely will be coming back.Parking: Average strip mall parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: There is no automatic opening door, but I don't remember if there was a ramp or not to the strip mall sidewalk.“
“This place is the best. We are from Minneapolis and when we travel we ALWAYS stop here.The flavors are super fresh. There is no strange after taste or muddy flavors. I recommend this place to everyone.I try a new item each time. I have never been disappointed.Good sized portions. Many items can be shared.Regarding spices: mild is medium, medium or hot, hot is blazing. Sometimes we discuss it more so we get the levels set.The staff are very accommodating.This is located in a newer multi-tenant building. It is super clean and nicely decorated. They have a sizeable bar room with a couple of large screen TVs (in case you want to ignore your dinner companions).Vegetarian options: This place defines most items as vegetarian or vegan (no special notes) and you add meat or tofu as you wish. I get the fried tofu. It is soft and delicious. I can't say if all sauces are vegan, you need to ask that.I lived as a vegan for 18 months. This place was never an issue for me.Dietary restrictions: See vegetarian optionsParking: Parking surrounds the building. We have never had an issue for dinner. Except the year kids crashed the place for prom.“
“The food is always great and they have a lot of delicious gluten free options! I brought some friends with last night and they loved the food and said they'd definitely be going back for more! Prices are reasonable too!Dietary restrictions: A lot of gluten free options!“
“Delicious food that is served piping hot is the star for sure. The dining room is small enough that you get to listen to the employees talking as your entertainment. Honesly, that is the only knock against this restaurant. I also think that such a small place should just be fast casual. Let me order my food on a screen and fill up my drink, there is no point to having a waiter.“
“Excellent food! I love their new location- close to the sculpture park and downtown fun. The staff were friendly, checked about allergy ingredients, and informative about the menu. The windows bring in beautiful light to this very nicely decorated space too! It was fantastic!“
