Very good Lao food, huge portions and prompt service. The jeow bong was great with noodles (we got kua mee). Ordered for twice the amount of people because everything looked so delicious and we couldn't choose!

Love this place. Great staff and family friendly. Food is awesome. Got their stuffed chicken wings on their “off the menu specials”. The portion are limited, which makes it feel extra special. If you get the chance, don’t miss out!!

Don’t miss out on eating here! So delicious! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. We ordered Thai tea, egg rolls, beef noodle soup and yellow curry. 10/10 on everything! The food tasted so authentic and homemade. Hands down best curry I’ve had. Will definitely eat here again.

Lao Thai Kitchen is delicious and SPICY! This restaurant is fantastic! Excellent friendly service and great atmosphere as well. It's extremely rare to find food this spicy in the Bay Area. The food is just the right amount of spice for a nice sizzle on your tongue. We had the pad Thai spice level 7, Panang curry spice level 10, Lao sausage, Lao papaya salad and duck noodle soup. All were delicious. 5 out of 5!

Tried this place for the first time and it was an interesting bittersweet experience. I'm Southeast Asian so I have high expectations.
The first two dishes we ordered were the Laos sausage (we asked for extra charred and crispy) and chicken wings. These two dishes were glorious. Like jaw dropping. God smacking. So packed with flavor and just so delicious. This got us really excited for our entrees.
We ordered the basil stir fry and pad kee mao and were deeply dissapointed. Right off the bat, the color was off and the taste even more so. I wanted to like these so bad since the first two dishes we ordered were so amazing.
Service was great and the place is small but homey.
I think this is what it is. They do the Laos food really well and the Thai food not so well. I think they also try to cater to a certain demographic...
I loved the first two dishes so much, I'm going to come back and try their specialties and Laos dishes, because I think that's where the magic is. Update to come

Absolutely loved it.
As someone who's Lao, I was excited to try Lao Thai Kitchen, but unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown. While the restaurant offers Lao cuisine, the flavors didn't quite match what I'm used to. The dishes were okay but I feel just didn't taste the same as the flavors that I've grown used to.
The portion sizes felt smaller than expected for the price, and considering the relatively high cost, I didn't feel like I got the best value. The sticky rice, which is such an important part of Lao meals, was also priced quite expensively, and the portion didn’t feel justified.
Overall, while it wasn’t a bad meal, Lao Thai Kitchen didn’t live up to my expectations. For the price, I expected more in both taste and portion sizes. It’s decent, but as someone who’s familiar with Lao food, it didn’t quite hit the mark.
