The sticky mango rice was amazing, not extremely sweet and they give you a very generous amount for 10 dollars. Also the portions and taste of the drunken noodles were great I got medium spicy. The only nitpick I have is I would have liked a little bit more beef but I'll probably ask for extra beef next time I go. The Thai tea was also noticeably somehow better than others I have tasted

We had an excellent meal at Ahan Lao. We ordered the deep fried pork belly, yellow curry, pad see ew, papaya salad, and beef jerky, and every single dish was incredibly tasty and well-seasoned. The portions were very generous, and everything tasted fresh and made with care.
Parking was also very easy, with a free parking lot available, which is a big plus. This is truly a small business worth supporting, the owner is also the chef, and even though she speaks only a little English, she is the sweetest and most welcoming person. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic, comforting food and a warm, genuine experience.

Small mom and pop place with authentic Thai and Laotltian food. Had been there twice and the food is super tasty. Had the classic Pad Thai Noodles and they were very filling and delicious. It's situated in a small plaza but there is always parking. Not a lot of seating place and the owner who tends to the place is a little gruff but the food is worth it.

The food was delicious, and I can confirm it’s authentic from a Laotian perspective. I’ve gotten beef jerky which was amazing. It came with some jeow bong which is a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. You must eat it with sticky rice. The Lao medium spiced papaya salad was good too and not too spicy. I enjoyed it alongside Royal Mandarin’s salt and pepper chicken wings, and the meal was fantastic. Phet was super awesome and so hospitable. Thanks for some of the nam wan too, it was so yummy. I bet almost everything in here is delicious. My boyfriend enjoyed it as well and he’s picky (:

Every time my husband and I come here we are always saying how delicious the food is. The workers are always kind, its definitely one of those whole in the wall places. Highly recommend!
I ordered from Ahan Lao & Thai Food and was disappointed overall. The combination Pad Thai was good and the spice level was perfect, but the Thai tea ruined the experience. I specifically asked for light ice and still received almost a full cup of it, and the tea itself tasted like spoiled dairy, so I couldn’t drink it. Not sure if it was made fresh with bad cream or if it was premade and stayed in the fridge too long. The food was decent, but the quality of the drink and lack of attention to detail made the meal underwhelming.

Excellent service! The owners are wonderful & we’re super helpful! I actually called in my order and came to pick up and they made sure I had everything I needed before they left my table. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for Lao food in Chula!

I’m a chiropractor in the area and I love coming here for the authentic food. My lunch break takes me right back to Thailand with these dishes. The flavors are incredible and the food is really done right right. I really appreciate them staying affordable even during these times when everything seems to break the bank. 5 stars quality and affordability. Don’t stop doing such good work guys!
