The place is rather small, and can feel kinda cramped, but it really is nice. The aroma from the cooking food is fantastic, and the service was friendly and timely. I had the drunken noodles and they were spicy, i really enjoyed em. I also tried the crispy salmon and it was done very well. I will be coming here... More

Coconut soup my friend ordered was delicious- would go back for that. Pad Thai was average and high price. We got in without reservations but waitress was surly about it. I would recommend calling ahead.

We "heard" it was great by numerous people. Yeah Yeah, is it really great or is it the only Thai restaurant around, so nobody knows Thai food? Well, it was great. Excellent dishes. Complicated flavors, blended by the most excellent wok cook: Scott. We loved it.

The food was great and the ambiance is fun. I would give it a higher rating if the fumes from the wok (on the first level) hadn't traveled upstairs. The spicy peppers in the fumes made us cough!

Worst thai ever. They charge a tip for carryout. Who does that? And the food tasted Terrible. The people on the phone are rude and take forever to pick up. They claim to charge a tip on carryout order more than 50 dollars. Unheard of and totally inappropriate.

Lotus Pad has fantastic Thai food in the heart of Big Sky,MT. The family style way of serving and the large portions means you can try some of what everyone is having. Though a little bit more exspensive it is a good deal for the quality of food and portion size! Lotus Pad also has a great drink menu!

We've eaten at Lotus Pad Thai a few times over the years we've visited Big Sky and the main recurring recollection I've had is that the space is quite cramped. On our most recent visit, we found the service to be too slow. Our server had a good attitude and was certainly personable but we nearly waited an hour for... More

Beautiful service and not to mention the food was amazing with a perfect spice, not overloaded with to much flavor. The chef is always smiling and the whole staff was very steady paced with their service. I have lived in Big Sky twice now and will return to my favorite restuarant many times over, The Lotus Pad! Keep up the... More

Last year we happened upon Lotus Pad on our first night in Big Sky and couldn't wait to return a few nights later. Before this year's trip we unanimously decided that we'd do AT LEAST two dinners at Lotus Pad. They didn't disappoint. The Crying Tiger steak and bison curry were favorites. No meal is complete without the Larb Mu... More
