This place has been described as the best Thai food restaurant in the US. After four trips to Thailand, I have to agree. This place is a must if you love Thai food. Not only is it a Thai food lovers destination, it's reasonably priced. On a recent visit to Vegas, we ate there twice. It was that good. One of the fun things about Lotus is the waiters are very knowledgeable. Our waiter was able to recommend four things and even threw in something we had never tried. I love that. We had a rice appetizer that I had never heard of. It was spicy rice roasted in mix of exotic spices. Totally unique and delicious. Then we had crispy ribs with a nice garlicky sauce on the side. Falling off the bone yummy. After that we had Khoa Soi with chicken. It's a coconut curry soup with rice noodles and crunchy noodles in a curry soup with many layers of flavor. It was better than the many bowls I had on my recent trip to Chaing Mai. After that we had Duck curry , & spicy beef salad. The spicy beef salad was so perfectly satisfyingly. The beef tasted like it had marinated in spices and it was fork tender. There was basil and it was the best I have ever had. We also loved the beef larb. Really authentic spice . I can't say enough about this place it just is absolutely authentic Thai food, but better.
