Have you ever tried Lotus of Siam? Would you if you have not after this?

[@dianesteele4331]

Best ever Thai food! I love your videos!

[@otterlips8414]

Rachael is an example of who they used to call "the all-American girl"--loved by everyone.

[@easyedawg9160]

Tom Petty agrees : )

[@JoshRachael]

Well thank you….so much! ☺️

[@tedfisherHSCC]

Chinese Food and Thia has always been a favorite of ours. Over the years the cost has shot up because first generation restaurant owners raised there children and sent them off to college for a better life. The next generation who remained in the business recognized the need to upsell through larger portions, enhance flavor palate and marketing their reputation. Lotus of Siam now has 3 locations with the newest in Red Rock Casino. We prefer the Flamingo location and agree it can be pricey. (Sticker Shock) There are so many choices! We always order more basic Chinese or Thia food in other restaurants, but in this place we move out of our comfort zone. You need to go back and keep trying new things. I am thrilled you liked this place. Although, You did not need to get up and run out and try it when I mentioned it. LOL You guys are the best! Love your videos.

[@JoshRachael]

Haha thanks Ted. It just worked out perfectly that you said it 😂 great minds think alike it seems 😂

[@Catfish13579]

@@JoshRachael BTW you inspired us to book a cruise on RCI. We sent over the request to our Travel Agent last night. Harmony OTS.

[@JoshRachael]

@@Catfish13579 That's Awesome! We just started editing our latest cruise on Rhapsody of the Seas. Love Oasis Class ships - Harmony should be a ton of fun!

[@AmberFromVancouver]

Looks deelish!! Thanks for eating all the things so we can watch! 🤣

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you Amber 😊

[@pamvandewalle9280]

Love Lotus of Siam; glad you did, too! The duck khao soi and garlic prawns are my faves.

[@JoshRachael]

So glad we got to try them, it’s no wonder they are favorites!

[@YouUsAndAI]

I'm so glad you tried the shrimp shells!! I ALWAYS eat the shrimp shells if they are cooked like that! :) I'm sooo happy you show cased this place. THANK YOU!!!

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much, glad we ate the shells also, they were so good!

[@ExploreVegas]

Kow Soi is northern Thai dishes. So delicious 😋

[@JoshRachael]

So good!

[@AGoodTimesProductions]

This place has been on my Yelp list FOREVER, just never head the chance to get there. Thanks for the review...one of these days ill make it.

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks Andy and Simone. You should definitely make it there one of these trips

[@B2BRestaurantReviews]

That's the least amount of food I've ever seen you guys eat lol. Glad you made it their, been on my list of places to go forever just haven't made it 😠. Good stuff guys!

[@JoshRachael]

It's so good! You gotta make it there Mike!

[@panjo]

nice place 👍

[@JoshRachael]

It really is!

[@easyedawg9160]

You had me at Koi Soi and Garlic Prawns. Easy walk to Lotus from Strip indeed.

[@JoshRachael]

I did look it up and it’s a mile and half, definitely walkable just not an exciting walk. Thanks a bunch

[@easyedawg9160]

@@JoshRachael Yea tru that. From the Strip (Horseshoe) on Flamingo Ave going East past Paradise road is about 30min ugly walk. Better yet just take public transit on 202 eastbound for 2$ one way or 1$ fer elderly disabled riders fare.

[@Tiltpoul]

We went to Lotus of Siam in 2014, before it moved to its current location. It was in a VERY shady abandoned shopping plaza, and the restaurant was jam packed. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. That said, I haven’t been since the move and crazy price hikes. I think it’s probably still excellent but leaned too much into the tourist markets and hype. Too bad, because it was a true diamond in the rough

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks for the info! Might be worth checking out again but cool that you got to it in the early days

[@nolanani]

My sister and I love Thai food and Lotus of Siam was on our bucket list. We ate at the old location and ordered everything that Tony Bourdain ordered from his Parts Unknown Vegas episode. LoS is known for their Northern Thai cuisine. That said, we were underwhelmed but the leftovers were fabulous.

[@edwardeighth1948]

Wow!!! I wonder how they cook the shrimp? Didn't know the shells were edible 🧐

[@JoshRachael]

No clue but it turns out delicious

[@brianmoody2549]

The garlic pawns were very big,was the batter to,heavy or light.was that a soup josh eating.the pawns looked like to me as being the best dish on the table.

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks Brian the fry was very light. The soup was an awesome curry!

[@peggykamstra8896]

Could you do a review for la cove at the Wynn? It is a butler style brunch

[@JoshRachael]

Here ya go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIS5h5iYabuhh9U

[@chilibowl65]

I would fly to Vegas just to eat there. It’s delicious.

[@JoshRachael]

So good

[@easyedawg9160]

Unless you have time or walking issues never rent a car in Vegas. Public transit is not shabby.

[@JoshRachael]

We take a lot of Ubers and Taxis or walk everywhere. This last trip was the first time we ever rented a car for a little day trip. It worked out and helped us get to a few spots we hadn't done before. Will have a video out on Sunday showing what we did.

[@wulffdendad8957]

I never. Venture far from the Wynn 😂 but I enjoy seeing your reviews . Your off strip reviews are interesting, shows the incredible variety Vegas has to offer #Wulffdendad

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much. It’s definitely cheaper to get off strip, we enjoy on Strip and off at this point for sure

[@quy1981vlog1]

món ăn thật ngon thanks you 😊😊😊

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you!

[@palomahealing5073]

It's black sesame seeds?

[@JoshRachael]

I think so, Sorry I can't remember specifically but appears to be

[@YouUsAndAI]

How long of a walk do you think it would be from the Strip?

[@JoshRachael]

About a 30 minute walk, can definitely be done

[@YouUsAndAI]

@@JoshRachael Saweet! Okay, will try it! We discovered that Ellis Island is also in walking distance, so happy to walk it. Thank you again!

[@quy1981vlog1]

helo you ok good you😊

[@JoshRachael]

Hello 😊

[@quy1981vlog1]

@@JoshRachael helo thanks you

[@PeirsolFan2]

I've very much enjoyed meals here, but I do think the quality has dropped since my first visit a few years ago. Also, people should avoid ordering things like pad thai, their fried rices, 'typical' Thai dishes. They're decent, but just not their specialty/area of expertise- definitely go for the Northern Thai dishes / their special menu.

[@JoshRachael]

💯- thanks for the info!

[@Marc-tq6hm]

This is what amateur restaurant reviewers sound like. Waste of time. These people need to review Popeyes or a burger joint. Waste of time

Yum! Yum! Definitely worth getting off strip for lunch!
