Northern Thai coconut curry noodle soup, made canonical in the western US by Lotus of Siam: braised chicken or beef, egg noodles, crispy noodle nest on top, lime and pickled mustard at the side.
Khao soi is a Burmese-influenced Northern Thai dish from Chiang Mai, brought to Las Vegas by Saipin and Bill Chutima when they opened Lotus of Siam at the Commercial Center on East Sahara in 1999. Saipin Chutima was a James Beard co-winner of Best Chef Southwest in 2011, the first Thai chef to take the award. The Lotus version uses egg noodles in a coconut-curry broth with braised chicken or beef, garnished with a crisp noodle nest, lime, pickled mustard greens and red onion. Lotus moved to Flamingo Road in 2017 after a roof collapse, then reopened the original Sahara location on May 8 2026.
