Really good, authentic enough for food. And the price is reasonable!
I understand why it has so many good reviews, service great, food tastes good, presentation is nice, bathrooms are clean and they have a very nice Irish soap that smells good.
It was worth trying once but we have our preferred Spicy Lao Kitchen restaurant on clairemont Mesa blvd and 163fwy.
We ordered the Nam Cao extra crunchy and it was not crunchy. At Spicy Lao Kitchen they make it crunchy and you don’t even have to ask.

Everything is good specially the Chicken Wings, the fried rice was on the spot., Salt. & pepper shrimp is fresh,.cucumber salad is superb except the Gaeng Nor Mai tasted weird, I've eaten this countless time in Thailand. & I cook 4 myself as well, so I know it tasted weird, so I barely eat.

Beautiful restaurant; service with a smile. We went for Pho Lao & Khao Poon and the flavors were delicious and authentic. I am gluten intolerant and had no problems with these dishes. Can't wait to come back to try other dishes! The restaurant is clean. Parking was not an issue. Thank you for being another great addition to the San Diego Lao Family!

Laos food in San Diego? Oh Yeah!
Forget searching for authentic Laotian food in San Diego – just go to Pha Khao! Every single dish was packed with those incredible, real-deal flavors.
We started with Nam Khao – crispy, tangy, perfect and came with all the fixings lettuce, fresh herbs, banana flower. Then came the amazing Laos sausage and the comforting Khao Poon noodle soup. The beef larb was super fresh and zesty, just how it should be.
The 3 flavor fried fish was a total showstopper, hitting all the right notes. And the crab fried rice was a delicious and full with crab meat. For papaya salad fans, the Tum Luangprabang was next-level good. We finished with the creamy, rich Mee KA tee (coconut curry noodles).
And the service? Five-star, all the way. The servers were on it, friendly, and made the whole experience even better.
Seriously, if you're in San Diego, you have to try Pha Khao Laos Cuisine. You'll leave happy, full! Next time we're in town we'll have to try their soups!

I’m Lao and my mom is one of the best Lao cooks. We ordered the Mee Ka tee because it’s one of my favorite soup (i always ask my mom to make it when I’m home) and it was incredible! It was full of flavor and I wish I didn’t have to share with my party. We also ordered Nam Khao, super good! The Kua mee Lao was delicious and my kids loved it. We will definitely be back and bringing all of our visitors!

We were so happy to try this place. The food was amazing!! Some of us were new to Lao food and this restaurant blew our minds. I had the coconut cream/red curry based pork noodle soup and it was delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very chill and calm too. Service was good and the food came to our table quick! We will be back for sure
