Black Lotus Thai restaurant - (Near Redbridge, South East)

4 /5 F Khatun: I went on Saturday with my friend. We ordered a mix of starters and a prawn main. The food was very good and perfectly flavoured. I had a lychee mocktail which was a little sweet for my liking (I am trying to cut down on the sugar) I mentioned this to the staff and they adjusted it so it was less sweet. It was also my birthday and the manager very kindly brought over some complimentary dessert. It has not hit the menu yet but I would recommend it for sure! I believe it was coconut and mango roll..? It was moreish! The only downside was a slight smell of old socks now and then but this could have been the customer near us… Overall I would definitely return.

4 /5 Abdul Malik: I recently visited this restaurant and tried several dishes — Kiew Wahn, Pad Thai, spicy chicken wings, and Kanom Jeep dumplings — and every one of them was fantastic. The flavors were bold and authentic, especially the Kiew Wahn, which had just the right balance of sweetness and spice. The Pad Thai was well-seasoned and perfectly cooked, and the dumplings were tender with a flavorful filling. Overall, I’d rate the food an 8/10 — definitely a place I’d come back to just for the dishes alone. That said, the service could use some improvement. Staff seemed a bit unorganized and slow to check in, which slightly took away from the overall experience. Still, the quality of the food makes it worth visiting — just hope they tighten up the service to match the excellent kitchen.

5 /5 Abdul Latif Mithawala: Superlative Ambience atmosphere qnd Genuine Aromatic Thai Food. Everything is 100% tasty and Halal. Service is excellent and Noodles are just right. Prawn need careful cooking not to get chewy and chef was careful. And succulent beef was wow. Amazing. Full Marks.

5 /5 Sam: I was just walking past and noticed Black Lotus Thai – this was my very first time trying Thai cuisine. I ordered only one starter (Black Lotus Hors D’oeuvre) as I was craving a snack, and I absolutely loved it! The mix of flavours was amazing and everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. Even though I’m new to Thai food, this starter really impressed me and now I’m excited to try more, especially Pad Thai since it’s listed as their #1 most liked dish. Looking forward to coming back soon to explore more of their menu.
