Upscale Thai seafood-focused outpost, cocktails and wine
"This Thai restaurant helped put Las Vegas on the culinary map. Prawns tossed in garlic pepper sauce, served whole with edible shell (two prawns per order) Thai-style beef salad served in a crunchy taco shell" - team infatuation
"Revered Lotus of Siam serves chef and owner Saipin Chutima’s northern Thai cuisine, including a menu of Thai-style stews and coconut-less curries, with spice levels ranging from 1 to 10. Diners should start with nam-prik-ong, a red chile dip, then try a roasted duck curry, garlic prawns, or thum ka noon with its mix of pork, jackfruit, tomato, and spices. The exceptional wine menu of sweet Gewürztraminers and Rieslings cut the heat. —Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Must-try dish: Crunchy and boldly seasoned garlic prawns" - Matthew Kang
"The newest location of this longtime locals’ favorite restaurant dials up the design to be just as exciting as the can’t-miss garlic prawns. More than 200 lanterns soar overhead, knobbed tree boughs bend down from the ceiling, and hand-placed bricks cover the walls between painted displays of pottery. Visitors enter the restaurant through an 11-foot-tall wooden door and beneath the bamboo canopy that extends over the bar. Sit either at the bamboo-covered bar or booths set against red brick walls for bowls of poo pad pong karee stir-fried Alaskan king crab legs and koi soi minced steak with fresh herbs." - Janna Karel
"Perhaps one of the more famous eateries in the Las Vegas valley, James Beard Award winner, chef and owner Saipin Chutima’s Lotus of Siam continues to garner attention. The garlic prawns, deep fried to a perfect crisp, seasoned with garlic sauce and topped with ground black pepper, and the panang, a fresh curry made with coconut milk, Thai basil and chilis, with a choice of meat or tofu, are among the most beloved menu items. Also located at Red Rock Casino in Summerlin." - Janna Karel
"I note that Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas tied for a James Beard Award win in 2011 when its chef Saipin Chutima tied with Tyson Cole." - Missy Frederick
