After 4-5 hours of driving from LA, fueled only by Starbucks, honeydew, and pure excitement, the crew and I headed out to Lotus of Siam upon the reco of a friend who was here just last week.
Thinking that it would be packed as it was last week, we tried calling in to make reservations. To our disappointment, they wouldn't accept reservations on a Friday night so we decided to make it out there anyways. It's not too far off the strip but be sure to have a good lookout because we nearly missed it if a friend had not pointed out an Indian cuisine sign right next to Lotus of Siam.
This place is literally fabulous! The food is great, service is fast, and the portions are just right (for those who enjoy moderate portions). Please order the following:
a) Curry Catfish
b) Chicken Spicy Fried Rice (spicy level 6)
c) Seafood Soup
d) Pad Thai
Seriously, this place is legit. You gotta try it, especially when you're sick of paying ridiculous premiums for food on the Strip.
