Fodor's Expert Review Lamaii

Bank Atcharawan, who started out as the sommelier at Lotus of Siam, is known to Las Vegas foodies for his wine pairings. He developed a following with his bygone restaurant Chada, and is now back in business in Chinatown. The wine racks behind the register and the multi-page wine list set this restaurant apart from some of its noisy neighbors, along with a romantic, jazz-music vibe (after sunset, the view of the rear of the neighboring Macy's home store fades away). The menu is smaller and more creative than the standard Thai eatery as well, with crisp-fried meats—Panang Crispy Duck, Pla Crispy Beef—as the focus of several dishes. There's another location in Henderson ( 2645 St. Rose Pkwy., Suite 150).
