Lotus of Siam - Red Rock

This restaurant made our girls night out exceptional! As soon as we walked in we were greeted with kindness. The atmosphere was very lovely with a wide range of options for scenery. Our server Nick was very accommodating with dietary restrictions (gluten free) and very knowledgeable about the menu! I had the Garlic pepper sauce dish with the salmon and it was AMAZING! You are able to choose a protein of your choice with the dish and there was a wide range of options. For dessert we had shared the banana spring rolls and although we were already full we still ate the entire dish! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family for both casual dining and special occasions!

As my friend & yelper Justin G. says, "charging for rice is ghetto." I came here because I saw the photo of a soft shelled crab covered in jalapenos and thought it looked good. Unfortunately, that dish can't be made gluten-free. While the menu lists what is gluten-free and what is vegetarian, what they do NOT list is rice as a side dish. I ordered the chili basil with chicken for $19. The waiter said, "white, brown, or sticky?" He did not say, "would you like to add rice for an additional $5 charge?" Not only was I surprised that the rice was very cool and felt old, my husband and I both ordered sticky rice and were shocked to see $10 for rice on our bill. No where on the menu does it say rice isn't included in the meal, so why would I assume I'm going to be charged for it? If a side of rice is not listed on the menu as an item to order, why would I assume I need to pay for it separately? Thai curries are served over rice. This is the equivalent of ordering a pizza and getting a bowl of toppings because you didn't order the crust separately. Imagine a hamburger restaurant charging an additional $5 for a bun because they don't disclose on their menu that a hamburger is the patty and toppings only. It's nickel and diming customers. What next, charging for onions because the menu doesn't say onions are included in your dish? Why stop at rice? Why not charge $500 for rice? Undisclosed charges is automatically a 1 star regardless of how nice the restaurant looks or that they could accommodate my Celiac disease with a gluten-free option. Visited: April 2024
