Lotus of Siam - Red Rock

As my friend & yelper Justin G. says, "charging for rice is ghetto."

I came here because I saw the photo of a soft shelled crab covered in jalapenos and thought it looked good. Unfortunately, that dish can't be made gluten-free.

While the menu lists what is gluten-free and what is vegetarian, what they do NOT list is rice as a side dish.

I ordered the chili basil with chicken for $19. The waiter said, "white, brown, or sticky?" He did not say, "would you like to add rice for an additional $5 charge?"

Not only was I surprised that the rice was very cool and felt old, my husband and I both ordered sticky rice and were shocked to see $10 for rice on our bill.

No where on the menu does it say rice isn't included in the meal, so why would I assume I'm going to be charged for it. It's nickel and diming customers. What next, charging for onions because the menu doesn't say onions are included in your dish?

Undisclosed charges is automatically a 1 star regardless of how nice the restaurant looks or that they could accommodate my Celiac disease with a gluten-free option.
