Addicting Pad Saw Ew with mixed seafood or beef are 2 of my favs. Nothing watered down here & they def bring the spice & heat. Steamed catfish and the Chinese broccoli with crispy pork is delicious. The Lao sausage is moist and plump but I do enjoy the fermented dry style more. I still order their version every visit. While I wait for my order I love picking up unique Thai snacks and treats from the mini market next door. Started going here three weeks ago because they open...read full review
We are visiting from TX and stopped to meet a family friend and he introduced us to Harborside. We had a number of dishes and everything was great and just like home cooking. Food was fresh, hot, flavorful and service was amazing! This Lao restaurant is authentic!

Harborside Cuisine is a restaurant that specializes in authentic Lao food. Some of their standout dishes include Mok Nor Mai, a warm and savory dish steamed in banana leaves, and Lao sausage. The papaya salad is also a popular choice, as is the Lao beef jerky and Larb (Meat Salad mixed with Herbs). Their menu offers a variety of options such as Kao Piek, Mok Pa, Som Pa, Jeow Bong, Nak Khao, Lao pho, and fried pork skins. For those who are new to Lao food, they recommended trying Tham Mak Hoong (Papaya Salad), Nem Khao (crunchy toasted coconut rice balls), and Khao Piek Sen (chicken noodle soup). The restaurant's Jeow Bong chili paste and Som Pa pickled fermented fish are also popular items. However, some may find the fish sauce vinaigrette and kapeak sauce too fruity and salty, respectively. The sticky rice is on the pricier side, but it is a staple in Lao cuisine.
Recently, customer feedback has highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses of the restaurant. Many appreciate the homemade taste of the food, considering it reminiscent of home-cooked Lao meals, and they enjoy the papaya salad and jerky. The ambiance reflects a simple corner of a small Lao grocery market, with limited seating that is mainly suited for takeout. Service is generally regarded as good, with a loyal customer base returning for years. However, there have been concerns about the quality of certain dishes, such as laab and gang nor mai, which some customers found to be too salty or poorly prepared. Overall, Harborside Cuisine remains a go-to spot for those craving authentic Lao food in a laid-back environment.
