Anyone who gives this place 4 or 5 stars must be either smoking crack daily or has never had good thai food. Since moving here in February we have been to Lotus of Siam probably a dozen times and it has never even approached disappointment. I live much closer to Archi's Bistro and got the thai bug we decided to check it out. I browsed the menu online and it looked pretty good and quite reasonable. Curries and entrees were advertised as being in the $8-11 range, but when we sat down and saw the menu they had pasted higher prices over the old ones so it was actually $10-15. We ordered a Tom Yum Koon(soup), Panang Curry, Basil Chicken, and a flat noodle and veggie dish I can't remember the name of. The soup was okay, but the broth was watery and the shrimp were overcooked and a bit rubbery. The thai basil had ground chicken which is very strange ingredient choice for a $15 entree, and was also quite a small portion. The panang was okay but waaay to greasy and oily the sauce was broken and kind of cold. The flat noodle was kind of like a chow fun with basil and green bell peppers, this was the best dish we had even though I said no meat and they gave us chicken for an extra $2. The staff was pretty much all high school kids from what I could tell, polite but hardly professional for what they are charging for run of the mill thai food. I was and am very disappointed in my fellow yelpers for rating this place so highly. I will never be back even for take out. There are places that are just as good for much less money, and places that are much better for the same prices. Don't waste your time and money, just make a reservation at Lotus of Siam...
