What is the sentiment of the following review?
I always thought that Lotus of Siam got so much publicity and business from their reputation alone that I didn't think that I would ever come here. The last thing I wanted to do is fight locals and tourists for a seat. BUT, my group wanted to try them on the final day of our trip and who am I to tell them no? So I headed out here first to snag a table for eight of us, a very hard task considering that they are always busy even after the lunch hour passes. After confirming with the hostess that our table was ready, another group of 21 comes in and asks for a table. Now mind you, my group hasn't arrived yet and that group eyeballed my empty table for a bit but thankfully, my group showed up and proceeded to sit down. The things that I remembered enjoying the most were the satay appetizer, the pineapple fried rice, the drunken noodles, pad thai, and the pork belly. They also served a dish with raw shrimp served sashimi style. I'm a fish sashimi guy but never had I ever tried shrimp raw before. After dipping the shrimp in their sauce, I can honestly say that I can add raw shrimp to my favorites list. It was really good. I can't say that their location is in the best neighborhood but the food really does live up to its reputation. Next time I come here, I'm going for the lunch buffet.
