Welcome to Lotus of Siam

Before the awards, the headlines, and the national recognition, Lotus of Siam was a small, unassuming restaurant tucked inside the Commercial Center of Las Vegas—a true hidden gem built on heart, hard work, and family.

In November 1999, Chef Saipin Chutima and her husband Bill took over Lotus of Siam with a simple but powerful vision: to share the food of their heritage, exactly as it was meant to be experienced. What followed was something extraordinary. Guests willing to step outside their comfort zones discovered that Thai food could be more than expected—it could be an adventure.

Chef Saipin’s cooking is deeply rooted in family tradition. Her recipes have been passed down through generations, inspired by both her grandmothers and her husband’s grandmothers. This legacy lives on in our kitchen every day.

Lotus of Siam introduced America to the bold, soulful flavors of Northern Thailand—a cuisine distinct from the familiar Bangkok style. Our northern menu highlights aromatic herbs, complex spices, rich stews, and coconut-less curries that are layered, comforting, and deeply satisfying.

Through our thoughtfully curated set menus, guests are invited to experience dishes that carry more than a century of Chutima family history. Every plate tells a story.

When you join Lotus of Siam, you’re not just working at a restaurant—you’re becoming part of a living tradition, a family legacy, and a team that takes pride in craft, culture, and excellence.
