The restaurant was not busy at all, but we had to wait 15 minutes to check in. They take forever to make our food. The curry usually comes with rice at other restaurants, but you will have to order rice on the side here. The pad se ew was extra sweet. The noodles soup and green curry were salty.

Highly recommend this place. Cheap price with huge portions. I ordered the Jungle papaya salad, fried rice number 43, and Tiger beef. All of them were good. The only thing I don't like is the pork skin, it's so hard to

We ordered the pad see ew, pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, and jungle papaya. All were really good but I prefer the noodle dishes over the rice. Portions are generous here and the staff was friendly. We would definitely come back.

This place stands up to all the hype. Just some of the best Laotian + Thai food, all the flavors are peak umami. Try the fried fish dishes, the Tom ka gai (just the right amount of sweetness), and the amazingly fresh and perfectly seasoned morning glory if they have it (you might have to go earlier in the day, we only got some on our second visit). The laab is also perfection. Go go!

Vietnamese, English, Spanish. Hello friends. Give this restaurant a try. The dishes are all delicious as Laotians cook, such as green papaya salad, Laotian sausage, Laotian pho (Phat Si ìu) and Si Tet salad. I have eaten here numerous times with family and friends. The food is the best in the area. NOT fast food like some others. Obligatory dishes: papaya salad, Lao sausage, the pad thai lao style, sweet rice, nam toc salad (with streaks). Buenos compas. Aqui se sierve la mejor comida de Laos. Es lo mas autentico que he encontrado. Comi aqui unas 5 veces y es mejor que otros lugares. Se lo recomendio mucho. Ya puse unos platillos para que los prueban. Aprovecho!

I would say that this place is the best Thai food in this area. The wait is really long during the weekends, took me almost 1 and a half hour to get in. But the the food made the waiting worth it. Recommend dishes are pad thai, papaya salad jungle style (It’s a must try dish as it is really special that you can’t find elsewhere), tom yum with sea food, and crispy fried. These 4 dishes are for 4-6. If you are a parties of 5+ call large size tom yum with bowl of rice. Tom yum here is also the best!

The best Boat noodles I've had so far. Savory. Flavorful. Hearty. Chef's kiss ? ?. The jungle papaya salad is delicious! Refreshing with a kick! Exotic taste and I love the spicy.
Stopped by for dinner. Had a short wait but was seated promptly. Ordered the boat noodles and Thai iced tea. Noodles had a kick that was slightly above my tolerance lol but was delicious nevertheless. Not quite what I remembered when I visited Bangkok but good enough. Plenty of parking.

We normally do take out here due to the proximity of the location for our family. We wished we could eat in but we have to mostly grab-n-go. I will say, it is hands down one of the best Lao-Thai restaurants we've eaten at in LA-ish settings (Yes, I know. This is OC). It is our go to spot for raw laarb, if you're into laarb and if you're into it being raw. Spicy with a little bit of bitter? Yes, please! The kids usually get the Lao sausages which are also very flavorful especially when paired with their sweet (sticky) rice. The lemon grass is strong in the sausages but that's how we like it.The wait staff are usually nice, even if maybe a little slow sometimes. The ambiance is that of any typical Asian family-owned restaurant; nothing to write home about but also not dumpy to the point where you wonder what extra ingredients they're adding to the food to make it taste so good.

My friend recommended this spot, and it lived up to the hype! Delicious dishes, no reservations needed, quick and friendly service. Obsessed with their blood sausage sauce. A top pick for Laotian cuisine in the OC!
