Lotus of Siam lived up to the hype. It was the best Thai I have ever had. I ate there on Sunday at 6pm and luckily I had a reservation as there was a 90 minute wait. For appetizers I ordered yum nuah, or Thai beef salad, and tom yum kai, a lime and lemongrass-infused hot and sour chicken soup. Both were fantastic. I ordered everything with a heat level of 4. I should have done a 6 in hindsight as it wasn't too much spice. For a main course I ordered duck khao soi which was a curry noodle soup. It was phenomenal. The perfect amount of curry and the duck was cooked fantastically. I'll be back every time I'm in town.
