Blú Lotus | Lao & Thai Restaurant

I came here looking to find some authentic food but was highly disappointed. The first red flag was this place had like a western vibe to it. Nothing wrong with it but it gave me the feeling like the food was going to be dumbed down.Without the title I would have never thought this was a asian restaurant. I shrugged it off and thought maybe the food might be great, especially from all the High reviews. So as I go to order and start asking about their dishes, I asked about their rice portions. The kind waitress didnt even know the portions, and even said they might not have enough rice. Lmao...Second red flag. So I shrugged it off and thought they might ve been packed earlier and didnt make enough, it happens. I ordered the papaya spicy, raw beef laab spicy, crispy pork belly, and 4 side of

This is easily the best restaurant in Ceres. The Thai food is always fresh and full of flavor, and everything we’ve tried has been so good. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. It’s one of those places we’re always happy to come back to. Highly recommend!

My partner and i came in on tuesday around 240pm… we werent really sure they closed between 3-5pm (which i did mention to my bf because i saw it on apple maps and yelp)BUT he didnt listen to me so here we are coming in at 245pm when theyre about to close. Now usually we dont even bother getting take out but the server/host that spoke to me said we could still do take out. I unfortunately dont remember his name but he had 3 earings on one ear, very nice person and i truly wish i could’ve given you a bigger tip but i hope what we left was for you only. Food was great! Papaya salad lao style was a little on the sweeter side but better than other places. Pad thai- good but a little sour and plain for us. Fried tofu- delicious! Simple but so good. (Best when fresh) Fried rice- 2nd fav dish

One of the best Thailand food I’ve had. I’ve tried Phaneng curry and Tom Yum all over Northern California and this has to be the best of them. I love how their fried rice is crispy and chewy at the same time and I paired my meal with their Thai iced tea was so rich in flavor. The Bento Box 1 had all orange chicken teriyaki chicken and two egg rolls that were flavorful. Glad this place exist in Central Valley!

Decided to try this spot out and was so happy I did! Would highly recommend! Great flavor, reasonable prices, and good portions. The dining area is large with lots of seating and the staff is very friendly! The chicken pad prig king was so tasty! They had lots of menu options for food and drinks. They pack serious heat so beware when ordering. We ordered medium and it was almost unbearably spicy. Love spicy and this packed a punch! Will definitely be back!
