    Start to finish Lotus of Siam does not disappoint! Why are you spending $300 on the strip for dinner when this top quality, authentic restaurant is right down the street? Drinks, appetizer, entree $80. If only Google had "smell a vision".

    This is a long overdo review. I eat here about 1-2x a week whenever I’m home in Las Vegas. Depending on who my visitors are, we always take them here if we could. These are my must dishes almost every time I eat or do take out here. Pork larb is one of the best 💯 Pad see ew 💯 Garlic prawns are so good 💯 Crispy duck with Penang curry is 👌🏼 Thai friend rice 👌🏼 Thai tea 👌🏼 Mango sticky rice 😋 I’ll order other things too.

    There is something about this restaurant that seems to have a loyal customer base. However you will see plenty of Vegas tourists making a tour away from Vegas Strip to some good old fashioned Thai Cuisine. The menu is overwhelming if you dont know much about Thai food or haven't done your research. Its a busy place so I didn't feel like taking a lesson from Server, however they looked cheerful and helped. Make sure to reserve the table.

    Love, love, love coming to this place. The food is so fresh and good. Start with some chicken satay, rolling into the main course with traditional Thai food. I love to come here for lunch. They actually close between lunch and dinner, so be prepared to schedule your visit. Plenty of top shelf whiskey selection

    The service was great. We sat at the bar. The food is very good, but small portions and very much over priced. It’s good to try once because the food is good.

    The hype is well earned (but still as good/on par as other Thai places in Vegas) Lotus OS has earned an almost mythical reputation because of Anthony Bourdain’s seal of approval years ago. True, this is one of the best Thai places to eat while in Vegas, but not unique/one of a kind. Since it’s gained so much popularity, expect to pay higher prices thank similar establishments and definitely plan on making reservations since it’s usually booked at least a week in advance.

    Ate here during the Super Bowl thinking we could get a table quickly. When we arrived there was a 45 minute wait so we ate at the bar. The bar tender told this was really dead and it is usually at least 2 hours on Sunday night. After eating here the long wait makes sense. The bar tenders were excellent and provided wonderful service. The food was out of this world. For my entree I had the Crispy Duck Khao Soi and it was tremendous. All of the food was great and this will now be a regular stop when I am in Vegas. There is so much good food in Vegas that it is hard to go back to places over and over but I will make an exception for Lotus of Siam!

    This is not your average Thai restaurant. The menu has a special section focused on northern Thailand cuisine that has won countless awards over the years. The Mango-coconut rice for desert is also to die for. Very reasonably priced.

    This is some of the best Thai food I have ever had! The level of spice is there but just right We got the crispy duck noodles and it was so tasty with a nice curry sauce. The soup was spicy but very refreshing. The pad Thai was seriously top 2, best I’ve ever had! Also the super friendly and amazing service, come and enjoy!!

    This restaurant was great. The dress is casual. The staff is amazing, we had a wonderful waiter and waitress. Our bottle of Chianti was great. The food was awesome and very big portions. Would highly recommend.

    Best meal I had while in Vegas. The crunch on the shrimps was unlike anything I’ve had before. I loved the spicy sauces they brought out. Everything here is world class. This is a must stop when visiting. The flavor 10/10

    I travel for work, and I spend a lot of time in restaurants around the country. I think this is amongst the top 5 best Thai food places in North America. Seriously. The textures and flavors are authentic and balanced, with no discernable cheap fillers. Ingredients always appear to be fresh, and the service is outstanding. The wait staff and bartenders are courteous, pay good attention, and are knowledgeable about the menu. Get a reservation days or a week in advance to make sure you're not waiting for hours though. (In one picture, there are about 9 dishes represented, albeit poorly).

    We really enjoyed our visit here. The facility and the table service is elevated above a normal Thai restaurant and we really enjoyed that. Most of the dishes we had were small in portion but were really good. However, the Penang curry was the best I’ve ever had in my life. It was absolutely phenomenal. That alone was worth the trip. Perhaps a little expensive for the food we received overall, but the service and curry were phenomenal.

    Featured in many magazines as a must go to for foodies and frequented by celebrities, this restaurant is no disappointment. We started out with the Nam Kao Tod appetizer which is crispy rice with sour pork sausages - AMAZING! Tom Yum soup and Pad Thai are two of my favorite dishes and they were both delicious. My husband had the panang crispy duck and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We most definitely will return...one of the best meals we had while in Las Vegas!

    I’ll start with the good. Service was great, attentive servers and often checked on us if everything is alright. The food was disappointing. Maybe because I asked for egg to substitute the tofu on the drunken noodles that threw them off but that drunken noodle was not drunken noodles. It was soupy, the flat noodles were not gelatinous, the scrambled egg as shown in picture was questionable. I couldn’t eat it nor felt to want to take it home. The appetizers were ok although the veggie egg rolls felt a bit store bought. The papaya salad was alright. The Thai iced tea was really sweet for some so we asked to see if they can mellow the sweetness but their answer was to add more milk since the tea was premade. Was hoping they had 2 types of tea at the ready one sweetened and one unsweetened so for those with low sugar tolerance can balance with unsweetened. I felt the reviews were hyped. Kudos to those who’s had great experience but for me it didn’t live up to the hype. If you ever come to NOVA try Sisters Thai and Dok Khao for some really good tasty Thai and cocktails I blame them for setting the bar high. Atmosphere felt snobby and exclusive, so that set the expectations high. As we entered we were asked if we had reservations, of course we didn’t we walked in with outdoor wear because we just came from an all day hike. We were ready to pay for good food especially after a long day but this left us unsatisfied. Don’t judge your customers by the way they dress. Mark Zuckerberg always wears a plain T-shirt but I’m sure he can afford plenty.

    Definitely the place to visit for Thai food while in Vegas. Worth every penny and minute. Simply delicious! I love leaving satisfied!

  • 5/5 Anthony A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place, outside kind of awkward looking, but inside it's very roomy... Good foods but does cost above average, and spicy levels will be at your expectations... 😊😉

    Best duck I've eaten in years. Garlic prawns I went for, the duck ill be back for.

  • 5/5 Robert M. 9 months ago on Google
    The food and ambiance were amazing. There was a minor snafu with my food (Northern Larb) and i wasn't served until all of the other 9 in my party had nearly finished their meal. The rest of the dinner was amazing and i will go back the next time i am in Las Vegas.

  • 5/5 Kathleen M. 2 years ago on Google
    We made a reservation but were seated 15 min late- but other than that everything was amazing. The drinks were amazing, food was beyond delicious, it was very affordable, and the service was great too.

  • 5/5 Jeremy J. 2 years ago on Google
    Lotus of Siam is one of the “must do destination stops” in every Las Vegas adventure. The food is amazing! The atmosphere is very relaxing and enjoyable. There is a wide variety of alcoholic beverages to try as well as amazing tea. You will not leave disappointed. Try the short ribs Khao-Soi

  • 5/5 Travis C. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible. Highly recommended Khao Soi and Thai Fried Rice, Mango Sticky Rice.

  • 2/5 Karen B. 11 months ago on Google
    Our waitress was awesome. I can't say that for the food. Maybe it was an off night, but our group all agreed that this had to be the all time worst Thai food we have had. Maybe we're spoiled with our local Thai place, but I would never eat here again.

    This establishment is incredibly accommodating. We requested a vegetarian meal without fish oil, oyster sauce, or eggs, and they met our preferences exceptionally well. The food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced. As a non-drinker, I appreciated their fantastic mocktails. If I find myself in Vegas again, I would certainly return to this place.
