Fodor's Review:

Despite being in a dreary shopping center northeast of the Strip, this simple Thai restaurant has attained near-fanatical cult status, with some critics hailing it the best in North America. What's all the fuss? Consider the starter of marinated prawns, which are wrapped with bacon and rice-paper crepes, then deep-fried and served with a tangy sweet-and-sour sauce. For a main course, try either the seared scallops with chile-mint leaves, or the pork with stir-fried broccoli and fried, salted fish chunks. Be warned—this is some of the spiciest food you'll ever try. But another of Lotus's surprises is the phenomenal wine list, on which you might find a vintage to cool your palate.

Daunting menu

Posted by tuzigoot from Henderson, NV on 3/4/09
Lotus's menu is gigantic, and thus we'll need to go back to learn what's best. Have been there once so far - food and service were excellent and the value compared to places on the strip amazing. Bright lights and walls covered w photos - you don't go there for the ambience.
