The restaurant serves mouthwatering dishes like crispy lao sausage, flavorful papaya salad, kao piek, larb, klang fen, and desserts like pandan jelly. Customers can customize the spice levels to suit their taste, whether they want it more spicy, sour, or bitter. The service is quick and friendly, with staff who are helpful and kind. The Lao sausage, made in-house, is considered one of the best items and is packed with flavor and texture. Many visitors love bringing their friends and family from out of town to enjoy the food. Despite parking being difficult when busy, the delicious food, friendly service, and family atmosphere make it worth visiting. The shop also offers groceries, and customers are encouraged to support this local business. It’s a hidden gem in Sacramento for those craving a flavor-filled adventure and a taste of authentic Laos food. Visitors often praise the place for its great people and engaging staff, and many say the food exceeds expectations. The dishes, especially the chicken and beef labb with a side of sticky rice, are highly recommended, and some describe the food as absolutely banging and beyond their expectations.
