  • Review #2565 of Lotus of Siam. It's that popular! A little far off from the rest of the places you will visit during a trip to Vegas but worth the short drive. It is located near Sarhara in a deserted shopping center near Downtown. I don't see any other reason to drive out here other than to eat here. Parking is simple with the huge lot and plenty of parking since this is the only place that seems lively... There might be a wait if you come during a busy time. We came around noon and had to wait for around 20 minutes...(even though there were open tables...) But I think I understand why they did that. Unfortunately, the kitchen is quick but not quick enough to meet the demand and having people wait in line might be better than having them wait for food. So was Anthony Bourdain and all the other celebrities (pictures all around the restaurant) just joking or is this place the real deal? Order the garlic prawns! At around $30, it is pricey for 7 pieces of prawns but it was the best dish we had. Not overly garlic-y and cooked perfectly so to not burn the garlic. The prawns are huge and butchered perfectly so that you can devour the entire prawn (shell and all). Order the Nua Nam Tok (Beef Salad with crushed toasted rice). The beef was moist and fattier than other Thai restaurants I have had this dish at. The fat was the difference. Even though I prefer lean meats, the fat made the beef tender and flavorful. The sauce was salty, sour, and spicy at the same time with a mixture of greens and a slice of cabbage. Skip the Crispy Duck with Drunken Noodles or just order the drunken noodles by itself. The crispy duck wasn't that crispy with our duck fat still not fully rendered. The duck was not worth the premium to make this dish around $30. Without the fat rendered out, it was similar to BBQ duck from a Chinese BBQ place... As for the noodles, they were fried well with a layer of sauce on them. The portion was a bit small. Might be bigger without the crispy duck. Finish the noodle quickly or they start to clump together. This place is worth the visit. I want to try the other items on the menu since they specialize in Northern Thai cuisine. Will be coming back for the garlic prawns. Beware of the wait for a table and then the wait for your food but if you have the time, it's a must try. Just ask the other 3000 reviewers.
