Laotian Restaurants near Chula Vista, CA

“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 went there to eat with a coworker for lunch earlier today. It was my very first time having been there. I was recommended by a couple of my friends. The restaurant was pretty spacious and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the laab seen (ລາບຊີ້ນ) a Lao minced beef salad and the tom khueng nai (ຕົ້ມເຄື່ອງໃນ) a Lao beef innards soup with some sticky rice. Lunch was delicious. I will definitely be going back there again. I will be bringing my mom. She was actually the person that had brought up this place to me before as well. See you again in the near future.“

“By far the Best Thai food in San Diego !! don't miss out.“

“We discovered this spot a while back and recently visited San Diego again and had another chance to stop by. By far this sweet little spot makes Lao Cuisine closest to homemade. All the flavors were there in the mix salad which I loved because a lot of Lao Cuisine don’t make it this way. And the fried chicken and sausage was a great pair with the salad. We also had a side of sticky rice. The set up was changed and may have different ownership? But we felt like it still hit the spot.

Many complain about the cost, unless you know how much time and effort goes into Lao Cuisine, it shouldn’t be any less than any other cuisine. Otherwise, it may be best to make it yourself at home than complain about the cost of what things should be.

We thought it was all reasonable and generous amount of food in this economy. My husband and I still didn’t finish it all.

We visit San Diego often so we will be back!“

“Got drunken noodles with shrimp and Thai papaya salad to go. Both are fresh, flavorful and delicious. Will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu. The menu is pretty extensive with salad, soup (pho also), appetizers, and hot food sections. Service was pleasant and quick.“

“Everything at so saap is good! Papaya salad, laap was awesome! I visited twice in a week as I live in another state. I will be back one day.“

“There’s no question that this is a 10/10 spot. Everything slaps. Excellent, unique flavors that are executed perfectly. This is some of, if not the best, Thai food I’ve ever had. I only regret that I couldn’t order more. I will next time, though.

MUST TRY: duck curry“

“White Elephant Asian Kitchen was such a great spot for lunch! My boyfriend got the chicken pad Thai, and I had the shrimp lemongrass salad—both were super fresh, with great portions and amazing flavor. The atmosphere was really nice too, perfect for a casual meal. We’ll definitely be back to try the spring rolls!“
