| - We gave Pin Kaow another shot, mainly due to Lotus of Siam being closed for lunch on the weekends. Disappointing yet again, and this may very well have been the last time we went here.
We had the Tom Yum Koong hotpot, which was fine except for the shrimp being terribly overcooked. We had two of the "Chef's Specialities", The Shrimp & Silver Noodles Claypot and the "Gulf of Thailand" seafood mix.
The noodles were all caked together into a solid mess, the shrimp were just as overcooked as in the hotpot, and the bacon on the bottom consisted of globs of fat and bits of meat hard a shoe leather. The whole dish was very greasy.
The "Gulf of Thailand" must have recently suffered a massive oil spill, because the dish was greasy beyond belief. Shrimp, you guessed it, terrible overcooked. Are they using pre-cooked shrimp here and toss them into the dishes to reheat them ? The scallops were mushy and fishy.
Soup, two entrees, tea came out to over 50 bucks. Ridiculous, given the food "quality". I can't for the life of me understand why readers vote this place over Lotus of Siam for "Best of Las Vegas". At least our visit reminded us why we rather drive an hour round trip to Lotus of Siam than to visit this place three blocks from our house.
