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.”

But don’t let that fool you, the food is fresh and cooked to perfection. My favorite is the Curry and side salad for the lunch special. The atmosphere is perfect for a quiet meal alone or with friends. It’s relaxing and clean. Once you try it you’ll keep coming back.”

    “Addicting Pad Saw Ew with mixed seafood or beef are 2 of my favs. Nothing watered down here & they def bring the spice & heat. Steamed catfish and the Chinese broccoli with crispy pork is delicious. The Lao sausage is moist and plump but I do enjoy the fermented dry style more. I still order their version every visit. While I wait for my order I love picking up unique Thai snacks and treats from the mini market next door. Started going here three weeks ago because they open before any of the other Thai/Lao restos in the area. So hooked I have to have their Pad Saw Ew once a week. Come out and support local cuz I want this place to be around for a long time.”

    “I discovered this restaurant through a colleague in the culinary field, and her recommendation regarding this discreet Laotian establishment was indeed accurate. According to the proprietor, this restaurant has been in operation for 35 years. I was very pleased to learn about this establishment and finally had the opportunity to experience its offerings. During my visit, I sampled three distinct food items and a generous serving of Thai iced tea. The Laotian sausage was exceptionally well-prepared. Its tender and juicy consistency is noteworthy, and it is prepared in-house by the owner. The use of chopped, rather than ground, meat provides a distinctive textural element that enhances the culinary experience. The freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite. The crispy pork belly was also commendable. It featured thinly sliced pork belly, lightly floured and expertly deep-fried, which paired excellently with plain jasmine rice. The Lad Na with chicken is a signature dish of the establishment. It is characterized by its comforting and mild flavor profile, along with the distinct char imparted by stir-frying the noodles. The dish is accompanied by additional condiments such as vinegar, sugar, or chili to customize the taste. I am eager to return and explore other menu items, including the beef jerky and various soup selections.”
