| - I have been fairly stingy over the last year when it comes to handing out 5 star reviews, but after dining here there was only one review worthy. Lotus of Siam delivers in pretty much everything. Ambiance, drinks, food and wait staff are all top notch. The only complaint you will normally see when scrolling through reviews is the wait. However, when you see a wait every night of the week that must tell you that what you are in for is something special.
I love...excuse me, I LOVE Thai food. It's one of my favorite cuisines and it's a meal like this that only makes me appreciate it even more. The food is so flavorful and every bite contains the perfect amount of spice. You are given a 1 to 10 spiciness scale (which is crazy specific) and I went with an 8. It was the perfect spice level for my entree.
Speaking of my meal... It started off of course with Lotus Old Fashioned (many of the drinks components hailed from Thailand) and it was quite potent. It may be a bit overpriced, but what drink isn't in Vegas? Next, we kept it simple with the Wontons. I wanted something fried and these were fried to perfection. Fried and crunchy on the edges, but still having some chew and bite to them where the filling was housed. For my entree, I went with the Crispy Duck on Drunken Noodle. Typing this review has already made me hungry again and wanting this dish! It's one of my favorite meals in 2018. So, so good and pretty filling as well.
Lastly, the wait staff was tremendous and was a well oiled machine. Once our water glasses went below 1/3 full we were immediately greeted by a refill. The menu is quite large so don't be afraid to ask your server about suggestions, I assure you, you will not be disappointed.
When you are in Vegas next time, do yourself a favor and take a breather from the Strip and make your way to Lotus of Siam.
