text: My wife and I both love Thai food so eating at Lotus on our Vegas trip was a must The one bad part about this was that there were only two of us meaning we could not order a lot well we could have but then we would have a buttload leftover So we settled on a cup of the Tom Yum Koong Soft She Will Crab Drunken Noodles and the Fried Garlic Prawnsn nNeedless to say we really enjoyed all three The soup had just the right amount of tanginess and kick and the cup was full of huge shrimp oxymoron I known nMy wife had never eaten soft she will crab before so she was a little weirded out by it here but I really liked it and we both loved the noodles great texture and flavor theren nAnd I liked the prawns more and more as I ate them but I have to say I am not sure how I feel about eating the shells like chips There is definitely a certain taste to it but I do not think I am a fan of it just yet I will have to try it againn nWe got there fifteen minutes prior to opening on a Saturday evening and we were seated immediately The restaurant is spacious and clean so try to get there as close to opening time as possible Otherwise I would recommend making reservationsn nHaving said all that I am not sure that I can back the statement of this being the best Thai restaurant in the country but it is dang good Take that however you would like And I will be back but hopefully with more people so I can try more dishes So many to choose from
