Exceptional(1034)

• Thai • Delano Las Vegas
Booked 111 times today
Before the James Beard Award and the Gourmet Magazine review, Lotus of Siam was a small little hole in the wall located in Commercial Center in Las Vegas. November 1999 was the month Chef Saipin and her husband Bill took over Lotus of Siam. Since then, Thai food became an adventure for those willing to step out of their comfort zones for Asian Cuisine. Chef Saipin’s distinct cooking has been passed down from generation to generation, from both her grandmothers and her husband’s grandmothers. Her northern style cooking has opened America into the “Northern” world of Thailand, away from the Bangkok style of sweet and tang. The northern menu consists of hearty herbs and spices, along with Thai style stews and coconut-less curries. Through her set menus, our guests can dine and enjoy recipes from over 100 years in the Chutima family.

    Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen in Las Vegas delivered one of the best dining experiences we’ve had on the Strip. We ordered his signature trio — the pan‑seared scallops, the Beef Wellington, and the sticky toffee pudding — and every dish was exceptional. The scallops were buttery and perfectly seared, the Wellington lived up to the hype with its tender beef and crisp pastry, and the sticky toffee pudding was rich, warm, and absolutely unforgettable. Our server, Megan, was fabulous! Even the Old Fashioned we ordered was the best we’ve ever had. From start to finish, the meal was flawless. Highly recommended.
