Lotus on the Beach Thai and Vietnamese Restaurant is absolutely outstanding! From the moment you walk in, you’re treated to a cozy, welcoming ambiance. The food here is phenomenal—each dish packed with bold, authentic flavors. The garlic chicken is perfectly cooked with a savory, aromatic kick, while the honey walnut shrimp is crispy, sweet, and savory with a delightful crunch from the walnuts. The chicken skewers are juicy and tender, served with a tasty dipping sauce that elevates the dish. And of course, the Pad Thai is a classic favorite, with a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and tangy flavors. Every bite is a delight, and the service is friendly and attentive. If you’re looking for top-tier Thai and Vietnamese food, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend—definitely 5 stars!

Nestled along Alki Beach in West Seattle, there’s a vibrant spot where my two favorite foods, Vietnamese and Thai, dance in harmony. The menu boasts inventive dishes like Mango Summer Rolls—fresh, crisp, and bursting with tropical zest—and Grilled Pork Skewers that deliver a savory punch. For those seeking comfort with a twist, the Mongolian Beef offers tender slices in a rich, flavorful sauce. New additions like Chicken Bao Buns and Mango Trout Salad showcase the kitchen’s creative flair. Pair these delights with a tropical cocktail infused with lemongrass and ginger, and you’ve got a dining experience that captures the eclectic spirit of Seattle’s culinary scene.

The food was delicious. The service was great. Great location on Alki. My favorite was the garlic fried tofu. They did not skimp on the garlic. And then the broth for the soup was very good. Good amount of food proportion as well.

We came here on a whim for my birthday and it did not disappoint!! I got the lychee hibiscus tea, which was beautiful and tasted even better. My husband and I shared the Tom kah, which is my go-to at every Thai restaurant. This was the best Tom Kah I’ve ever had. My mouth is watering just writing this and thinking about it. I also got the cashew nut chicken but I didn’t really eat it because I got full of soup, I’ll eat it later. My husband had the pork belly and he liked it. He was critical because he is always super critical of every restaurant he’s ever eaten out so I am leaving his opinion out of my review. I really want to eat here again!

Stopped by here on a late Sunday afternoon and didn't regret it. Their food was simply amazing, I had the steak bites with green beans and pho tacos. Their drinks are unique and very tasty! I believe I had the ooo babe and was impressed with the flavor. The view was also amazing. The staff were friendly, fast and very knowledgeable about the food & drinks which was helpful for us as first timers. It was also very clean, from our table to the bathroom, nice vibe. We're definitely coming here again and may have found our official stop when visiting Alki.

Everything was perfect from the waitstaff, to the food, to the atmosphere! Their drinks are unlike any other. The grilled pork skewers were amazing, crab fried rice was packed, and the tamarind chicken wings were excellent! I’m definitely coming back for more!

We found this place unexpectedly and it exceeded our expectations. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming! We had Annie as our server and she did a great job assisting our orders. Highly recommend ordering the chicken Pad Thai, curry pineapple fried rice and the Tom kha soup. The soup was made so well with a perfect consistency and amount of coconut milk. Amazing view too! Must try!!
