The Spot Restaurant & Bar

Perhaps a good option for late night but not during normal business hours.

Food was good/solid but the portion size to price ratio was waaaay off.

I understand It's 2024 and inflation sucks... but an small order of papaya salad, angel wings (2 stuffed wingettes) and Lao sausage ( 2 small hot dogs) and a zip lock bag of sticky rice amounted to over $50 after tax n tip is outrageous especially in the lower socioeconomic communitaaah.

it's not the same anymore. we ordered fried calamari, large kasoy, and papaya salad. the kasoy lacked a lot of flavor, even after adding all the condiments that are offered at the table. the papaya salad was also bland and did not come with peanuts as stated on the menu. the best thing we ordered was the fried calamari.

This is a great place to eat authentic Lao food! However disappointing that the waitress / waiters here cannot keep their tips. I always tip wherever I go eat but once I found out that the owners keep their employees tips I stop giving my business to them. It’s a shame bc they are all hard workers and they deserve more.

So my sister ordered some Kaopiek from here, and it tasted like someone poured in so much MSG and salt into the soup. We had to dilute it almost at a ratio of 2:1 (2 cups water to 1 cup Kaopiek). I want to support local and especially this Mien-owned business, so please please taste the food before putting it out!

Nice place for dinner or to grab a snack. At midnight on Monday, there are not many places opened for inside dining. Good thing this place was still opened so we stopped by for a late dinner.We ordered a dish of beef larb and a bowl of kasoy. Food was decent and the service was great.

Very good, fresh and delicious. This place is somewhat hidden but it is so worth it. Now that I know about this place, I will be going back to try out more dishes.

I ordered take out; papaya salad and Kapoon. I used to enjoy coming here when it was new because of the papaya salad. It had the right amount of spice, sweet, sour and funk. Delicious then. I just happened to be in the area and ordered Papaya and kapoon, because of old memories. I don’t know what happened, but both papaya and kapoon were very sweet. The taste of the papaya and kapoon had overwhelming cane sugar and pale in flavors of fermented funky padek to the point that I couldn’t finish beyond several bites. Disgusting. I felt like I gained a few cavities afterward. I might as well as eaten a handful of candy corn because that’s exactly how sweet it was. I had my 9 yr old tried the kapoon and she adamantly rejected and said IT’S too Sweet. She didn’t want it. We threw it out. I kind of want my money back. But I don’t ever want to step foot in that establishment again. They have lost a customer. I will not recommend this this to anyone. Horrible food. Shouldn’t even call it Lao Restaurant at this point because Lao food is known for padek not overly sweet sauce or dish. They gave Lao restaurant a bad name. This isn’t Lao food! Maybe this family own restaurant isn’t actually run by a lao family, because this wouldnt have pass the Lao dish standards. I’m done.
