You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, New Rochelle Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out.

Here's this week's choice:


If you enjoy spicy and well seasoned food, you will enjoy Red Lotus Thai Restaurant. With a variety of dishes to fit your tastes, you are sure to find something for everyone.

For the adventure seekers you can try the frog leg options. Whether you like them fried or sautéed, you will definitely have an experience to remember. Maybe you want to try something new—but not as exotic—try the duck in coconut milk with Thai red curry sauce and pineapple.

There is a lunch menu and takeout is available.

Here are some of the comments that appeared on Yelp.com:

"Excellent Thai food in New Rochelle! Had the pad Thai and it was not to spicy yet very sweet… Great job, Red Lotus!"

"Red Lotus is a nice neighborhood Thai restaurant. Staff is friendly, my pad Thai is always awesome."

"Food is great and saves me a trip to Queens. We get the duck in coconut curry sauce and a fried whole snapper typically. The dark fatty duck meat is soaked with the milky coconut sauce while the snapper is deep fried (bones and all) and doused with some hot sauce. My family and I spent an hour just picking at food until we were too stuffed to drive."
