The shop was supposed to open at 5pm. The door was still locked and I was let in by a rude and grumpy man. Nothing was set up, I asked if I should sit outside for service and he replied yes. I waited for ten minutes and received no attention, though there were no other customers. I ended up leaving hungry. Just because a place is vegan doesn’t mean we should put up with treatment like this. The cleanliness of the place is questionable as well, looks grotty and could do with a good clean. There were also cigarette butts on the ground.
We drove a long way to have a late lunch here, only to find that they are NOT open from 11am till 10pm … in fact they close from 3pm to 5pm So disappointed, as traffic was absolute hell in Surfers Paradise, and we lost over an hour in finding a park, then walking to what we thought was a meal, for it to be closed ! Previously had a beautiful lunch @Blossoming Lotus in Newtown who do actually open all day, so felt deceived at the hours written on Happy Cow. Updated from previous review on 2024-08-18
I had heard of this restaurant before travelling to the Gold Coast and was super happy to discover it was located less than a 5 minute walk from our apartment. Everything looked delicious. They also offer specials from their hot curry bar. I ordered the Penang curry off the menu, coconut rice and curry puffs. So delicious. There are so many Thai restaurants to choose from here but I loved that I could support an exclusively vegan/vegetarian restaurant with my holiday .
Having been to Blossoming Lotus in Newtown as well as their former store in Cabramatta (which had the best satay chicken skewers and rad-na , New South Wales; I was surprised that the Gold Coast branch menu had more options! Other than my regular curry puffs and pad see ew, I had to try their Thai milk tea and durian sticky rice with ice cream (which was delicious

Restaurant was in great walking distance from the city centre and where we were staying in Surfers Paradise. Looked at the menu online to not realise they did great $14 dinners where you choose 3 dishes from the hot bar, served with rice. We didn't try anything else unfortuntely but would have loved to go through the awesome options on the menu!
I loved the crispy soy bits. Yummy! All the food that we tried at Blossoming Lotus was very, very tasty, and it looked good. The staff was friendly. The desserts were niceeee. It was definitely a successful dinner.
Delicious dinner for $14 dollars, I asked the waitress for her recommendations and got the massaman,Thai green and crispy soy all were incredible with the stand out being the massaman.
good food that is affordable! staff are the sweetest ever and lots of options (also good gf things as well: nice spot to grab quick lunch/dinner!
