text: There are plenty of reviews of Lotus of Siam thanks to consistent buzz amongst locals tourists and food magazines Know going in that you cannot just waltz in pick something off the menu and expect to be stunned Their menu is extensive and contains most of the standard Thai dishes most of which are pretty average But if you know what to order you can have an amazing experience They feature a lot of Northern Thai dishes which are unique to most Westerners many of which are pretty mindblowing When in doubt ask your waiter the staff knows what is popular I have been here around times in the past year and here are my favorites more or less in order of awesomenessnn Spicy chicken wings appetizern Special crispy duck curry with Panang saucen Drunken noodles with Sea Bassn Fish cakes appetizern Crying Tiger Beef basically just tender grilled beef steak with a good saucen Thai beef jerky appetizernnStick with those especially the first and you will be happy
