My new favorite spot for Lao food! The food is always great, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Banh Phonekeo's/Harborside Cuisine serves traditional Lao dishes with a unique and authentic flavor. Favorites include the homemade noodle soup, Laos sausage, beef laab, nam kow, mok pa, and fried chicken, which are considered some of the best dishes on the menu. The papaya salad, although not for everyone, can be adjusted to individual taste. This cozy spot offers a welcoming ambiance, friendly staff, and generous portions. While some find the prices a bit high, others appreciate the reasonable cost for the effort that goes into Lao cuisine. The mix salad and sticky rice are also popular choices. The chill but simple ambience could use more Lao decorations or plants to better represent the culture. Despite changes, the food remains close to homemade, making it a go-to destination for authentic Lao flavors.
