Located at 425 California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94306, Lotus Thai Bistro operates as a thai restaurant serving Palo Alto in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as asian restaurant, caterer, southeast asian restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Palo Alto, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across California run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. Typical hours are 11 am–3 pm. Note that it does not open on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Lotus Thai Bistro at (650) 289-0907; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, lotusthaibistro.com.

Its Google rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 271 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.
