Lotus Thai

I know this restaruant no longer exists in this location, but a new Thai restuarant has opened it’s doors here called Lotus Thai.
Lutos Thai is a small place (sign says capacity is 40) in a stripmall on dequindre between 14 and 15 mile. It is sparsly decorated in bright white with a clock and picture on the wall.
They seem to be a bit unorganized at the moment, but that is to be expected of a new eatery. Our server was quite attentive though and as accomadating as she could possibly be (we were the only patrons at that particular time though, so I don’t know how they perform under pressure).
My girlfriend ordered a thai iced tea which they did not have «yet», so they should be getting it soon.
They start you off with a complimentary Tom Yum soup which is always a plus. Despite not having any shrimp chips (they are probably on the same truck as the thai iced tea), the soup was quite delicious. Its flavor and texture was similar to Thai Peppers in Farmington, a rich hot and sour that is less sour and perfectly spicy. There were great little surprises litered through out, constantly finding little bits of chicken or diced water chestnut.
My co-​diners had mixed reviews that sounded quite like a suburban professional version of goldy locks and 3 bears (too hot, not hot enough, too big, just perfect). Everyone agreed that the food was good and that the only complaints were based on portion and heat preferance. I on the other hand was happy all around. The Pad Kra Tiem (chicken, hot) was perfectly spicy, the sauce was not too thick or too thin, and the flavor is perfect for what I expect out of a Thai brown sauce (spicy, salty, and sweet), and the chicken wasn’t terrible (although not the best quailty chicken I have had from a thai place).
The lunch price is $ 6.50 which is cheap compared to the near-​by Sala Thai or Bangkok Cuisine.
