| - OK, I love LOS and have eaten there well over a hundred times in the almost 19 years they have been open in Las Vegas. The quality of the food hardly ever varied and it was a SOLID FIVE STAR RESTAURANT.
However, my last two visits held a few disappointments; I consider Nam Kao Tod to be one of the world's truly great dishes and almost always order it at LOS. The last two times I ordered Nam Kao Tod it was not the incredible, compelling, best thing I ever ate dish that it always was before, it was just OK. Another favorite, the Garlic Prawns were not prepared as carefully as usual and the portion size was HALF of what we were served before, other dishes also seemed to be served in smaller portions. I hope the problems were kitchen anomalies that do not become permanent.
The smaller portions are more troubling, no one deserved a James Beard award more than Saipin but I hope that isn't the reason for the smaller portions and much higher prices.. Overall, still an excellent meal, just not the 5 STAR, 28 point Zagat, worth a drive from anywhere quality that I am used to at LOS. I really really want to give this place 5 STARS again!
P.S., So sorry to hear about the water damage and closing.
