Pink Lotus Thai Restaurant

Such an incredibly delicious and unique Thai restaurant! The staff are all perfect, and our server Carlos was kind and helpful! My wife from Thailand absolutely loved every dish that we tried and we both agree they taste like you pulled them out of a market in Thailand! My personal favorites were the miang kam and pok jowel! Trully the tastiest Thai restaurant I've tried in America, and definitely the one with the most unique offerings! The dishes are seasoned like they would be in Thailand, which is a great distinction among the many Thai restaurants here just selling cheap imitations of Thai cuisine.

The Pink Lotus had been on my list for a while, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The food was amazing from start to finish, and we had such a great overall experience. Tee was an incredible server—attentive, friendly, and made the evening even better. The beef cheek curry was rich and comforting, but the kale chicken completely stole the show. It was truly out of this world, and I would come back just for that dish alone. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed but special night out. Overall, a fantastic experience with outstanding food, service, and ambiance. I will definitely be back.

First let me say, everything about this restaurant was glorious - from the outside to the divine aromas that filled my nostrils when I walked through the door. And then we hit the jackpot when we got Kristie as our server. She recommended the steamed branzino, which I never would've ordinarily ordered - I came in here for a piece of whole fish, probably fried, and trusted Kristie after she described the branzino as having such a balanced flavor profile - I think that's what she said, I don't remember exactly but it made the fish sound exquisite - and she was RIGHT. The next thing she recommended was my beverage - which I don't remember the name of but that was right on the nose for what I sought this evening. And then for dessert she recommended the mango sticky rice - which is not on the menu. Y'all, it was so good I ate until I got a stomach ache. 5 stars to Pink Lotus for food, atmosphere, and service! It was a delight!

Had to come back here again since our last visit was so amazing. Our waitress Tee had recommended we try some different dishes from our last time. This time we tried Miang Kham and Golden Crab rolls (Hoi Jo) which was super authentic and made with high quality ingredients. And we couldn't help but order the Pandan coconut crepe with homemade coconut ice cream again. So good. You gave to order it! You can thank me later.

Decided to finally check Pink Lotus out for Valentine's weekend and was extremely pleased. We were greeted and seated immediately for our reservation. Krista was our waitress who was extremely professional and had a great personality to make us feel right at home. Highly recommend the crispy Kale and minced chicken ! The flavors blew us away and we ordered it twice. My wife enjoyed her beef cheeks and I had the short rib which was tender and flavorful. Will definitely be a regular visitor.

First of all, we had no idea Thai food tasted this good! Secondly, the ambience was amazing! Everything from decoration to hospitality was top notch. We were first greeted with a lemon grass pandan palate cleansing drink accompanied with a lemon grass scented towel to clean our hands. We had these cute trio bites, shrimp tamarind soup, grilled sausage, crab curries, and steamed branzino. All very authentic flavors! We can’t wait to come back again to try other dishes!

From the moment you sit down, it’s like being treated at a spa: a refreshing welcome wellness shot and a warm, lemongrass-scented towel set the tone. Your first drink arrives—a som tom martini with a tangy twist on a dirty martini. Delicious. You learn your server’s name is Tee, and she is a delight, too. You’re off to a great start. You take her advice and order the massaman bombs—an amuse bouche of rich curry poured into a crispy rice cup. Amazing. More, please. But we’re moving on. Papaya salad, followed by the crispy kale. They should write songs about this crispy kale. If you take nothing else from this review, for the love of god, order the crispy kale. You’re welcome. And if you’re smart, you’re intrigued by the phrase “beef cheek curry” and, on a whim, order that too. The meat falls apart with a spoon. The green curry plays perfectly. Tee brings your second drink. All is well in the world. Just for a moment. Will you come back? Absolutely. And soon.

We visited The Pink Lotus for the first time on my birthday, and I’ve been wanting to come for a while—the wait did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant was absolutely beautiful, and we received the warmest welcome. The décor is chic and stylish, and the open kitchen is always a fun touch. Our server, Mel, was EVERYTHING. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and attentive, checking in on us consistently without being intrusive. She took our allergies seriously and made sure everything was handled with care. She even bagged our food with a smile. As a former server myself, I can confidently say she is the definition of top-notch service. The food was incredible. We had the calamari, papaya salad, crab fried rice, Han Thai, and fried rice—each dish had generous portions and was packed with bold flavor and spice. The icing on the cake (no pun intended 😂) was the perfectly moist, just-sweet-enough coconut cake, complete with a heartfelt rendition of Happy Birthday. It was truly the perfect way to celebrate my birthday. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience—we will absolutely be back!

We visited pink lotus thai for an impromptu afternoon lunch date today. Immediately, the restaurant interior was beautiful. And for a fun surprise, the women's restroom was large, clean, functional, and pretty! Hubby and i ordered drinks. He enjoyed his vodka cocktail, but the star of the show was my tequila passion fruit cocktail- delicious! Service was good in a way that more upscale restaurants provide. Everyone wanted you to have a good experience. We both order lunch sets. Husband got the pair with chicken and a kale salad. He reallyyy enjoyed his meal. I got the pairing with pad thai, roti and curry. The roti and curry was delicious! The pad thai was lacking. No flavor, no option for heat given, and though i was told there was chicken in it all i noticed was tofu Overall, i'd definitely return for cocktails and to try a different main.

I should start with: Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines. The Ambiance: It's a cute vibe. It gives "Thai chic", as they indented, with modern Thai music playing. Great for various types of occasions. The food: To start, I had the Golden Crab Rolls and they were tasty and well balanced. You get just as much crab as you do pork (a rarity) and they went well with the plum sauce. For the main, I had the Khao Soi with chicken. It's one of my favorite Thai dishes. This was a first to have it served with fried chicken (a portion of a leg and boneless breast meat) without any lime. As the curry was decent, I would suggest getting it with one of the other protein choices. Lastly, I had the Mango Sticky Rice Crème Brûlée. Definitely, a creative spin on two classic desserts. They managed to still give the sticky rice and, even, added a little bit of gold flake. Service: The staff were very friendly and my waiter was always helpful. One critique that is a bit personal: I never saw anyone else with any nor was I offered chopsticks. This was my first time eating Khao Soi with a fork and it was an experience. Before leaving, I just had to ask and found out they do have chopsticks. You have to ask for them, which I should've done, sooner. Guess I'm just used to the opposite being the case. Overall: I'd say it's decent. I can say that I understand other comments about the price point.

I came to Pink Lotus during the dinner rush, and even though it was busy, everything came out in a timely manner. The food was outstanding from start to finish. I ordered the chicken, which had a wonderful smoky flavor with juicy, tender meat and a perfectly charred exterior that added depth to every bite. The seasoning was well-balanced, bringing out the natural flavor of the chicken without overpowering it. I also tried the Crab Curry Noodles, and they were absolutely delicious. The curry sauce was rich, creamy, and aromatic, coating the noodles beautifully. The crab meat was fresh and flavorful, adding a delicate sweetness that paired perfectly with the spice and coconut base of the curry. Every bite was full of texture and bold flavor, truly a standout dish. Roberto and Adam provided exceptional service at the bar. They were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the evening. They made sure everything was perfect and created such a welcoming atmosphere that elevated the entire experience. Pink Lotus impressed me with both its food and hospitality, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

The food and the experience were really good. The basil chicken does have a kick to it but overall very good. The pad Thai was flavorful and the dipping sauce for the calamari 10/10. The service with the drinks was a little slow and the resturant may have had 15 people dinning in. The ambiance was nice. Decorated to perfection, could see birthdays or holiday parties there. Check them out!

So this is a very cool little spot. I only went for drinks but the environment was really nice and aesthetic was pretty pleasing. You have to figure a place to park but there is street parking and a lot not too far. Most likely it's not free anywhere so just keep that in mind. Well I guess you should know that by the time you get to the area that free parking is a luxury. This spot has indoor and outdoor seating, so the indoor is very decorative and the outdoor would be really nice on decent day with good weather. The indoor also has a side room that you can probably use for private parties or something along those lines. The bar was pretty cool. There's only one bartender so it took a while to get some attention but we got it. I ordered the espresso Martini. Now before get to the drink part, you'll be giving a dish served to you with water and a little mini tile that absorbs water and you could use to clean your hairs. That's a really nice touch. Next you'll get some tea to cleanse your palate. The tea that you get will definitely taste like fruit loops LOL. But just keep that in mind. It's just to cleanse your palate. The Martini was pretty good. Although it did have coconut in it, which had a pretty lofty aftertaste. Not a fan of coconut, but the drink itself is pretty okay. Overall, I would probably go back and shake out the food there. Walking around. I saw some things that looked pretty good on other people's tables, not being creepy, but it was worth me taking a look at and checking out. It's a really good vibe and if you want to go for a date spot, this might be a good date spot as well.

Stop what you're doing and go to this restaurant! If you want a memorable dining experience with authentic Thai food, this is the place. I solo dined and had the Pink Lotus Signature Trio, Smoky Issan Beef Tartare, and golden crab rolls. The trio was my favorite. I could have eaten 5 of those. The atmosphere gives you a modern Thai feel and the service is outstanding. Highly recommended!!

So we stopped in just for drinks and to take in this new restaurant that I had no clue existed. Considering the rate of closures in the area I was shocked to see something new. The aesthetics are definitely there. We sat at the bar and were greeted with menus, a shot that tasted like fruit loops (it was some kind of situation to cleanse your palate but it literally tasted like kids cereal) and the magic napkins that grow when you wet them. Cool to see in real life. The espresso martini was made differently than your standard run of the mill espresso martini. There were notes of coconut in the drink which was different and unexpected. So if you do not like coconut, don't get this drink lol. Based on the reviews I'm a little afraid to come back for anything else but those aren't my experiences so I'll circle back to try the food.

I came here for a Sunday night dinner with a couple friends. I was nervous about the parking situation reading some of the reviews but when we arrived there was no valet and the deck is right next door which was super convenient. We had made a reservation for 7p and were seated right away when we arrived. I was blown away by the decor and how pretty the restaurant was! When sat down, our server brought over lemongrass pandan palate cleanser drinks and a cooling towel for our hands which was a nice touch. Our server went into great detail about the menu and gave a lot of recommendations which was nice but also a little overwhelming. The prices for the food were a little absurd, especially considering the portion sizes. For 3 of us, we ordered the massaman bombs (we were intrigued by the panipuri shells), charcoal chicken skewers, stewed beef curry (which we were told was like a green curry), and khao soi. When the food arrived we realized we would need a few more servings of rice which were $5 each! The massaman bombs were tasty but we got 3 tiny balls for $13 and they were cold which was very unexpected for curry. The main dishes were good (although none were really that spicy and the chicken didn't come out as skewers, just filets, so just interesting presentation for what seemed marketed as upscale Thai food). But overall the food was decent. Where the night took a turn for the worse was after we had paid our bill, we were finishing up when our server and another server returned to the table. They then proceeded to essentially shame us for not leaving a big enough tip. When paying the bill, the handheld POS recommended a MINIMUM tip of $35. We did not spend enough for that minimum tip amount to make sense and manually adjusted the tip. (We spent $140 which would mean standard 20% tip of $28). We felt so uncomfortable by their badgering, I had never had that happen before and we left immediately after. Overall, what would have been a decent but pricey dinner spot turned into one I will never return to. There's better upscale Thai restaurants in Atlanta like 26Thai. I'd recommend those over this any day.

This is an amazing new restaurant. Great food and great service. The atmosphere is so lovely here. True authentic Thai flavors. Some of the best Thai I've ever tried. Please give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

We were excited to try Pink Lotus cause we love 26 Thai but I left feeling seriously scammed. PARKING: The restaurant validates parking for 2 hours. Valet attendants will try to block you from self parking and force you to valet park, but you absolutely can self park and should. FOOD: Crab Fried Rice ($55) - Honestly, where is the jumbo crab meat cause I sure didn't see it. It's just egg fried rice with crab meat. There was much left to be desired considering the steep price point. Do not recommend this dish. Spicy Clams with Thai Herbs ($19) - They didn't have clams and substituted it with mussels. The mussels were very tiny. Thankfully, the sauce was good, it was briny in a good way and the Thai basil gave it nice umami. I do think it would have tasted much better with the clams though. SERVICE: The hostesses were very welcoming and we got welcome drinks (lemongrass + pandan) and a warm towel. It seems like they are going for a spa vibe cause it smelled like a spa as soon as you walk in. The servers were good as well. It did seem like they were still learning to stack plates and serve food. Made us nervous a couple times thinking they were going to drop plates. OVERALL: Unfortunately I don't think I will be back considering the okay food for luxury prices.

I went in yesterday for lunch. The decor is unique. Calm ambiance. Pupae is my server and she's very nice and attentive. Mr. Kim the manager is also very informative. Great food options and portion. I have also trie the Padthai with shrimp that was good as well.

The service here was impeccable. The staff was attentive and ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect. The beef Best Short and Branzinos must try!

Beautiful interior and delicious Thai food! We tried the Tom Yum Soup, Miang Kham, Golden Crab Rolls, Smoky Isaan Beef Tartare, and Steamed Branzino, every dish impressed with both taste and presentation. For dessert, we had coconut ice cream and coconut pandan cake. Highly recommend this place!

All style over substance. Food is good enough but portions are small and prices are absolutely insane

A bit pricey, however, it was a great experience from start to finish -- The cocktails were great and the sticky rice dessert ... WOW

This may be one of my favorite Thai spots in Atlanta now. The restaurant is gorgeous and the food is so unique. The waitstaff was very knowledgeable about the food and preparation. I would highly recommend the branzino every time you go!

*FORCED VALET REMOVES SELF PARK OPTION! The food was excellent and the atmosphere lovely but the experience was ruined by the people at Eagle Parking, who, after I pulled up at the entrance to the parking garage, opened my door and handed me a ticket, disallowing me from driving into the self parking garage.. It turns out that the restaurant does validate parking for those who self park but the guys stationed at the ticket entrance to the parking garage block you from entering. They just yanked the door open as you drive up and ask for your keys. After dining, when I showed up with my restaurant-validated ticket and they still wanted to charge me five dollars plus a tip, they said "oh, those validations are only for self-park" And then I said, "but you didn't give me that option, your staff is literally standing in the way of the box to pull the ticket to go into the garage" Life is expensive enough, and so is Restaurant food without having to put up with surly valet people ! Funnily enough, now i have a huge dent in my front bumper.

This restaurant experience was all aesthetics and ambiance. The bartender was also waiting on all the tables which felt like the place was understaffed. The sitting bench next to the bar was very uncomfortable and felt like the seats were designed for kids. We started with 2 shrimp Pad Thai and this iconic Thai dish was extremely disappointing. It was overcooked and did not look anything like how it did in the picture. The egg was deep fried and no runny yolk which is how it looks like on the website picture. The shrimp were also overcooked and had a rubbery texture. 75 dollars for 2 shrimp Pad Thai dishes that were below subpar is a hard pass for me and the idea of recommending this place to any friends and loved ones is something I don't see myself doing as this overpriced place completely missed the mark and was not the best Thai food I ever tasted which is what I had been expecting.

Everything went great and everyone enjoyed their food. I saw some reviews give the parking valet a bad rep, but this is expected in most areas near midtown/downtown (in my opinion). It's only $5 to park and it was a great experience.

I recently dined at Pink Lotus new Restaurant in West Midtown and was thoroughly impressed! The ambiance was warm and inviting, the service was good, and the food was amazing! I ordered the beef tartare, Southern Thai Charcoal Chicken, crab curry noodle, Miang kum, and corn salad - each dish was delicious and authentic. As a Thai native, I was impressed! As a Thai native, I can confidently say that Pink Lotus's dishes are authentic and delicious - it's no wonder I missed my mom's cooking after dining here lol Overall, I'm so impressed with Pink Lotus Restaurant.If you're a foodie like me, or just looking for a great dining experience, Pink Lotus is an absolute must-visit! They have 2 hours of validated parking. They don't have google maps yet but you can search painted duck.

Food was decent - extremely overpriced and small portions, taste was 6/10 - definitely nowhere near the best thai places you can get in ATL. Ambiance/decor was great but not worth the food prices. For example the "massaman bombs" was $15 for 3 cold curry bite sized pieces... Service was great - up until we had to pay. We tipped what we though was appropriate, but I guess the waiter didn't think so - so she comes back with another waiter to effectively coerce us into giving even more tip, saying "20% is customary" and that their "performance was based on gratuity". I mentioned I thought the service was great. They were just standing there expecting us to pay more (for an optional thing)?? It was extremely disrespectful and we left immediately and definitely will not ever be returning. Would've been different if a manager or someone just swung by to ask for feedback since it's a relatively new restaurant - but this confrontational interaction threw off our whole group and was a bit upsetting we were treated that way as customers. Pay attention to the tip recommendations on the payment device screen because the percentages are much higher than normal!

It's not just a new Thai restaurant in Atlanta, it's the most authentic Thai experience I've had in Georgia! The food is incredible-- a wide variety with something from every region of Thailand. The flavors and textures are a fun experience-- curry to coconut, basil to chili lime. The Southern Thai charcoal chicken and mango rice dessert are a great starter and dessert. The entrees and drinks we got are pictured w/ descriptions. The waitstaff are all attentive and actually care about the food and sharing the culture with you! You can also see the kitchen from the restaurant floor, which looked like a female power house! The detail in each dish was next level.

Great experience! Our server, Tee, was amazing! Food was delicious and beautifully presented.

We love this place and will definitely come back! The food is so amazing and the server is super friendly. The ambiance is super unique compared to any other Thai restaurant in town. Love everything about this place.

Would give this a 2.5 if possible. Very very underwhelmed with the restaurant. Overall, the menu is very overpriced. The food is somewhat authentic but leans more fusion. Cocktails were decent, but nothing I haven't seen before. We asked for some coconut cream or something to dampen the level of spice on a dish (which is undersold on the menu) and was told no because it would ruin the flavor. They offered a single lime wedge instead. As someone that loves Thai food, I sadly won't ve coming back.

Service was great, ambiance was great too. Food was not good. We ordered a massaman curry which came cold in a small bowl and was so NOT worth spending $27 on it! Pad thai and pandan dessert was good.

My first experience was take out. All the items were clearly marked...most appreciated! Food quality was very good with fresh clean flavors. Though pricey, I would come back to dine in next.

Confusion in kitchen and food not good at all not sure what region of Thailand they are from but menu selection was limited and very expensive. Didn't mind the expensive food if it is good and tasty. Service was ok but asked about reservations on a Tuesday at 6pm in an empty restaurant kinda disappointing where we were seated too much traffic going past while you are trying to enjoy your meal, they should move this seat entirely. Final bill for rice and curry $101.00. Atmosphere and restaurant was beautiful.

Pink Lotus is a new West Midtown gem! The ambiance is beautiful, the service warm and attentive, and the food is phenomenal. The coconut soup and Pad Thai are the best I've had in Atlanta--hands down. So glad to have this spot in our neighborhood!

Nice ambiance, SLOW SLOW SLOW service. I want to like you all, but you all need to get your act together. - waited to order - received the wrong order - had to wait 20 minutes before our food arrived You're leaving money on the table because you never got our drink order You all need to be better staffed.

Pink Lotus Thai Restaurant is the newest players on Atlanta's bustling dining landscape. The very moment I stepped inside, it felt both sophisticated and welcoming, with well-thought out design and kind service. The menu boasts of authentic Thai dishes not so common in many U.S. menus--such as Miang Kum (coconut, betel leaf, peanuts), Khaw Pinatee, rich and slower southern-style Kaeng Rawan curry regularly served with beef short rib and char-grilled Pla Pao. The cocktails are creative and match well with the spicy flavors of the food. The service was attentive and pleasant that made the whole meal felt to be like a special occasion. Better suited for travelers looking for real, communal Thai food with a modern atmosphere.

AVOID! We felt scammed too! Predatory salesman server ruined our night 8/10/2025. In a sketchy part of town too. Predatory on the inside and out! As a server myself, I appreciate suggestive selling, but this was unethical and sneaky! Too much contact from our waiter (Asian guy with tattoos and big red lips). After pushing 10 times for us to buy the apps and $19 cocktails Sunday night, he VERY quietly asked ONE person if we wanted water. Of course we did. He asked "sparkling or still?". Only one person at our table could hear him, and she said "still", I guess thinking it was the free tap water option not offered or mentioned, or maybe she thought this over priced restaurant didn't offer free water. We were not offered free water. He returned with ALREADY OPENED $7 bottles of water and filled the entire table's glasses before we could challenge him. I bet that dude fills them up with tap water in the back. How would we know? Pushy scammer desperately trying to increase sales, which I'm sure his manager with the praying hands BS supports and rewards. Entrees are $35 or $55, and many come with only meat and a dipping sauce - no veg, no noodles, no rice - just an expensive piece of meat. So strange! My wife was charged $5 for a small cup of white rice to go with her a la carte $35 piece of chicken. I'm still pissed and can make same quality curry at home with Bright brand paste from DeKalb County Farmer's Market for $1.39.

Went here today for early dinner, the atmosphere was classy chic , the food was really fresh, and the service was very good. Highly recommend 5 star. Side note, GM personally came to our table today introduced herself to us and was very personable and helpful.

Awesome food and service! Restaurant itself has great ambience. We ordered several dishes from appetizers to desserts, not a single item we didn't like. We'll absolutely be back.

Had the best time here! The place is beautiful, and the whole vibe just makes you want to hang out and eat forever. The signature trio is super special -- each dish had its own flavor and style. I also loveee the dish grilled Branzino!! And the drinks So good too! Creative, refreshing, and really well made. I'll be back for sure.

Food is amazing and service is top notch. visited on saturday night, personally really enjoy the whole fish.

Amazing ambiance. The service is top tier and the food is amazing ! My server was Kelvin and he was awesome! He was very informative and very hospitable. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a great Thai experience with an amazing atmosphere.

Food was great. Will go back and try the dishes i didn't get to try another time. Good ambiance. Like my trips to Thailand and Laos.

Amazing experience, loved being the very first customer at this beautiful restauran. Patrick is an amazing General Manager, and Jenna was extremely personable. Plus, the food was amazing!

Absolutely phenomenal. Service was some of the best I've ever had and the food...wow. Had the mini bites at the beginning and they were incredible, then the eggplant with tofu and the mango sticky rice. Everything was more delicious than the last, and the drinks were fantastic.

The food was phenomenal and very authentic. Probably my favorite Thai restaurant in Atlanta. The steamed branzino is my favorite. The service was actually amazing as well. The interior was nicely decorated, very feminine energy. Best part is they validate parking for 2 hours! Must try Asian cuisine in west mud town for sure!

We go to a lot of restaurants in Atlanta and this is one of the best meals we've had in a long time. Every dish had incredible flavor and was so unique. What a neat way to experience regional Thai cuisine. The service and drinks were outstanding too. We are telling all of our friends to support this gem immediately. Can't wait to go back!

The food was absolutely delicious. If you are looking for some authentic Thai food, this is the place for you! The service was top-notch and the place was clean. I like the atmosphere of this restaurant. It felt like Thailand when I visited. Definitely come here to try some authentic Thai food. It will not disappoint and you will be amazed!

Michelin star quality ambiance and flavor. I have never had Thai food like this before and we will be sure to visit this restaurant every time we are in town.
