Lotus of Siam

Lotus of Siam is the legendary, James Beard Award-winning Thai restaurant that earned Las Vegas national foodie respect — celebrated for its northern Thai specialities and a surprisingly serious wine list. A must for food lovers, off the Strip.

Lotus of Siam Las Vegas: Menu, Reviews & What to Expect

Lotus of Siam is the restaurant that proved great food in Las Vegas isn't confined to the Strip. Repeatedly honoured with James Beard recognition, it built a national cult following on its northern Thai cooking — dishes like crispy rice salad, khao soi and nam khao that are hard to find done this well anywhere in the country.

The setting is casual, but the kitchen and the wine list are anything but, the latter especially strong on Riesling. Be honest about your spice tolerance, and book ahead, as it stays busy. A genuine Las Vegas institution.

Insider tip Ask for the northern Thai specialities (and tell them your spice level honestly) — and don't be fooled by the casual setting; the food, and the wine list, are world-class. Reserve ahead.
