Lotus of Siam - West Village - New York Magazine Restaurant Guide. Profile This venue is closed. So how does a cuisine beloved by chefs and assorted ragged outer-borough chowhounds turn into a full-fledged Manhattan restaurant boomlet more or less overnight? That was the question that the grateful, slightly befuddled Thai-food scholars at my table pondered as we sat down to dinner at Lotus of Siam, the second prominent Thai-style restaurant to open in Manhattan in the last two months. We’d gathered, just weeks before, at Harold Dieterle’s accomplished West Village establishment Kin Shop, where the tables were jammed with people feasting on goat-neck curry and squid-ink soup. This little holiday miracle comes to us courtesy of the noted chef Saipin Chutima and her husband, Bill, whose original Lotus of Siam restaurant, in a strip mall not far from the Las Vegas Strip, is one of the premier Thai destinations in the West.
