Believe the hype. This is the best Thai food you're ever going to eat. You're also going to think you're on your way to a drug deal when you near the restaurant (the area is a bit shady). It's located in a somewhat questionable strip mall... and doesn't look like much from the outside, but have faith, brothers and sisters. Lotus of Siam is the kind of foodie heaven we all dream about. Can I get an amen? Hallelujah.
I went with a large group. Half hour wait. The place was packed... and for good reason. "How different can it be?", you ask. "It's Thai food." First... wash your mouth out with soap and we can have an adult discussion. Let me know when you're ready. I can wait.
Ok... we good?
I tried a lot (and it was all delicious), but no matter what you get... order this:
Pad Thai - 5/5
Garlic Prawns - 5/5
Go. Thou shalt be converted.
