Really good Lao food. First time at this Lao restaurant. My new favorite place 😍
Hands down the best Tom Kha I've ever had. And just like any other long term LA resident, I've had a lot of this soup. This place is the perfect little stop.
What a great way to be introduced to Laotion cuisine. Beyond impressed with their flavor profile and spice level. Staff were very welcoming and attentive

The food is prepared with high-quality ingredients, and the menu features a variety of delicious options, including the popular lunch special chicken with mint leaves and vegetable fried rice. The portions are generous, and the flavors are described as delicious. The restaurant is a hidden gem, with customers praising the exceptional customer service, friendly staff, and the piping hot food delivered even during a cold day. The Lao Chicken Larb is especially good, and many dishes can be made vegetarian with tofu. The fish, soups, curries, and noodles are made with real ingredients and authentic herbs like galangol, lemongrass, and kefir lime leaves, adding to the genuine flavor. The spicy catfish dish contains real fresh peppercorns, making it extraordinary. The service is efficient, down-to-earth, and attentive without being overwhelming. Plenty of parking is available in the shared lot, and the staff is responsive to calls. Popular menu items include Thai iced tea, Penang curry, tom kha gai, pad see ew, pad Thai, and mango sticky rice. The restaurant welcomes all guests, including children, and is happy to accommodate dietary restrictions and vegetarian options. Customers note that steamed rice can be dry if served too early, but all other dishes are tasty and good-sized. Many agree that the fried pompano is crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and the beef fried rice is packed with savory goodness. Overall, Kop Jai Lai remains a top choice for authentic Thai cuisine with great service in a friendly environment.
