Lunch on the way to the airport.  An excellent way to end our inaugural Vegas trip.\n\nEverything was what I read about and expected.  The dingy, sketchy, vacant strip mall.  The low key restaurant facade and interior. The extensive menu and wine list.  And then there was the food.  I have been eating Thai food for years, with lots of authentic, top notch Thai restaurants in my neighborhood. Lotus blew them away.\n\nThe tod mun plar (deep fried fish cake) was cooked perfectly and was a great way to start our meal.  I then had the kang renu nakorn with chicken, which is a red curry but without coconut milk and lots of vegetables.  Spicy and tons of flavor, I think the best part was how it completely cured my hangover.  My husband had the drunken noodles with soft shell crab, which was a phenomenal dish.  \n\nI liked that this place was mostly locals; while were there it was mostly hospital and office workers on their lunch break.\n\nThe lunch buffet looked excellent and is probably worth trying as well.\n\nI am glad we were able to get here and I hope we return one day.
