who wants to come over for dinner at my place; im serving ginger, chili, garlic, basil, lime, lemon grass and coconut milk with seafood for those who crave the thai palette. Im white from southern California… it will be better than LOS, and you will be like damn “this is better than LOS, how do you do it”. LOS is average at best, keep putting those calories on.

Also, Ping pang pong; Coast Casinos excuse to cater to Asians. That place is cheap heat and serve. I wouldnt be surprised if the majority of their dim sum comes straight out the back of a Praml delivery van or one of the other major food distributors. Its food to fill your belly with standard flavors but has absolutely no love.

No love, just MSG.

LOS can be average or amazing. Really depends on what you order. Order off menu, forget the lunch buffet. My favorites include – Sai Oua (Northern Style Sausage) pictured above, #14 app, sea bass with drunken noodle, grilled salmon panang, crispy duck with chili mint leaves and finish with the sticky rice, mango & coconut ice cream dessert.

I am a fan of LOS and I am an endorphin addict too . I like my food so hot that when I take a sip of water it tastes like pop rocks have hit my tongue. If you like it spicy, also try Yunnan Garden on Schiff . The Chongquing spicy chicken or shrimp is awesome !

As much as ELV is my homey whom I respect, I think all the guys pictured on the walls get a different meal than us average joes. I’ve never announced myself the half a dozen times I’ve been there and I’ve always left with the , “m’eh it’s was aite” feel. I respect the place for it’s success and longevity, but critics always make you feel like you are CRAZY for not loving it. Well, I still don’t love it.

The lunch buffet is underwhelming but dinner there was great. Folks went for dinner last week and loved it. Looking forward to goin next week. Also, Ping Pang Pong is v. good.

FDR-

The only way you won’t like LOS is if you don’t like Thai food, period. The place is amazing! There’s a good reason why there’s a line outside so many nights. (All the above commenters are right that the service can occasionally be spotty, but the food never disappoints.)

clue-

$150 for lunch for 4? Really? Was wine involved?
