2025 Centurion Award winner
Lotus of Siam
Best Thai Restaurant in Las Vegas · Las Vegas, NV
Best Thai Restaurant in Las Vegas · Las Vegas, NV
Lotus of Siam opened in a Sahara Avenue strip mall in 1999 and became, improbably, one of the most acclaimed Thai restaurants in the country. Chef Saipin Chutima's northern-Thai cooking — nam prik ong, khao soi, crispy rice, and a deep German Riesling list — drew national critics to an unassuming Las Vegas room.
James Beard recognition and a devoted following turned the original into an institution; Lotus proved that some of the best food in Vegas is found far from the Strip's marquee names.

Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Lotus of Siam (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
