Absolutely amazing place to come and enjoy a semi formal night out! The service was something that I couldn’t praise enough! They went above and beyond to make our dinner experience top notch! I would have given 5 stars on this alone. BUT to make the night even better, the food was AMAZING! We ordered the Triple Flavored Fish and the Pad Thai for our mains and they were to die for! My only suggestion is to ask for the pad thai spicy, but thats personal preference. We also had the soft spring rolls with shrimp and peanut sauce. SOOO fresh! Highly recommend! And last but not least we had the Tom Yum Soup and it was hands down, the BEST soup I have ever had! So warm and spicy and the shrimp was cooked perfectly!
This restaurant deserves more than 5 stars for sure!!!

My husband and I like Thai food a lot. When we know there is one newly opened in our neighborhood, we were eager to give it a try. It is my 2nd time to have a dinner there. The food we ordered never failed us. This time me and my family ordered various food, pad see ew, pad thai, green curry and bankok crispy pork and Thai basil. All are very delicious. Surely we will go back again because we want to try each dish in the menu. Food quality, location and the service, all deserve 5 stars. Have to mention every staff is friendly and always smiling like sunshine. Here are some phots of food we ever had:

I was there twice in one week. On Tuesday night, my colleagues and I had a wonderful time, the food was great, and the service was excellent. I went back again on Friday with my family. My kids loved the mocktails and the tom yum soup. My favorite dish is the E‑Saan set, and my husband is a big fan of the crispy chicken red curry. We definitely recommend it!

This was my second time at Lotus of Siam, and once again, it was an incredible experience. From the moment you walk in, the place is beautifully decorated and has such a lovely vibe. Located on Bank Street, it’s also very easy to access, which is a big plus.
The staff truly makes a difference here. Everyone is incredibly polite and welcoming, and our waitress Kathy deserves a special mention! She is an absolute gem. She brought such great energy, a warm smile, gave excellent recommendations, and was very attentive to my shellfish and nut/peanut allergies, which made me feel completely at ease.
And the food… wow. Everything was so flavorful and perfectly balanced. The chicken was incredible, the flavors were truly out of this world, and the drinks were absolutely delicious. All of this at a very reasonable price, which honestly makes the experience even better.
I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back. Thank you, Lotus of Siam, for another amazing experience!

During my inaugural visit to Ottawa, I had the pleasure of dining at Lotus of Siam, a Thai restaurant. As a Thai native, I can attest to the authenticity of the cuisine served there. The exceptional service provided by Tee and Kate, the servers, was characterized by their friendliness, knowledge, and insightful recommendations.
The restaurant’s interior design is equally impressive, showcasing traditional Thai aesthetics.
I highly recommend Lotus of Siam to anyone seeking an authentic Thai dining experience. The dishes, particularly the beef salad and grilled pork, transported me back to Thailand. If you haven’t had the opportunity to visit yet, I strongly encourage you to do so and immerse yourself in the vibrant Thai culture and cuisine.

Consistently an amazing atmosphere and experience !! The floor is alwaysssss set up perfectly. We were able to walk-in and book reservations on different occasions, simply and quickly. The staff is attentive and knows what they’re doing !!!!!!!!!! They had us feel like family, even the chefs were coming out to interact with us. It’s been great, each time I’ve been. Food and drinks look and taste great, are fresh. Whether, you’re catching up with a friend or hosting your birthday, I recommend 🙂

Highly recommended. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, but that’s not all. Kate, our server, was exceptional. I am very particular about customer service, and she exceeded every expectation, to detail, consistently thoughtful, and always serving with the warmest smile and a great attitude. I will definitely be coming back. It is absolutely worth it.

Had a little impromptu girls’ dinner date here, and we were all so happy we found this place! The food was absolutely delicious, and the plate presentation was beautiful. The Lychee Paradise drink had real lychees! you could really tell the bartender took her time crafting it, even though it was a busy night. We were recommended the chef’s choice and were SO glad we went with it. Everything tasted fresh and nourishing. Despite how busy it was, our food came out on time and the service was super friendly. Thank you to the team for making our night so lovely!
