text: If you have eaten at one of the Thai Nakorns in Southern California then you are spoiled like me I guess I went to Lotus of Siam expecting something magnificent to only be disappointed by a dinner of mediocrity nnHaving heard about Lotus of Siam and read the numerous glowing reviews on the internet I had thought that we were going to be experiencing an orgasmic meal of mammoth proportions Some of the reviews had proclaimed that Lotus of Siam was the best Thai restaurant on the West Coast But I beg to differ nnThe food was mildly good The restaurant itself was very bland shoved away in a bleak strip mall in the dark corners of Las Vegas Walking up to the restaurant we had high expectations but those were soured when we entered The walls were overflowing with numerous accolades and yellowing newspaper clippings declaring the success and importance of the restaurant OK so that was a good sign Contrary to the restaurants proclamation that there were no open seats the supposed packed restaurant was dotted with a few parties and looked quite sparennSo we sat down in a booth towards the back of the restaurant near the kitchen and ordered a few bottles of sake After being provided with our small bottles of sake and menus we began ordering A lady came by our table the owner I guess and tried to push a fried fish on us stating that we would like it In fact most of the night the servers tried telling us what we would like and not like suspecting us to be virgin Thai food eaters nnThe food came out in a somewhat fast progression coupled with more bottles of sake By that time we were feeling a wee bit of the sake but the food kept us in reality as it did not conjure orgasmic feelings In fact the food itself was quite unsettling with very little flavor By that time the owner had tried pushing the fried fish on us four times we still did not budge nnLeaving Lotus of Siam we realized how spoiled we had become Thai Nakorn was still the champion and Lotus proved to be an unworthy opponent
