Laotian Restaurants near San Francisco, CA

“I love Champa Garden. They serve authentic Lao (and Thai) food, including delicious papaya salad, larb (both of which you can get Lao or Thai style), and perfect sticky rice. The rice ball dish is also delectable! I'm looking forward to trying other dishes. And their prices are very reasonable!“

“Visiting San Francisco with my cousin, who lives locally, along with my sister from Los Angeles, we came to celebrate my birthday and to hopefully have a memorable dinner experience. We were overwhelmed with delicious and creative food presentations. Just so interesting sounding, we ordered their Watermelon salad appetizer. The combination of refreshing watermelon and the savory sauce/dressing made this unique (to us) dish the most perfect start to our dining experience. Loved it! Our other dinner choices were just as delicious-highly recommend the spicy (mild level) garlic with fried tofu, noodle dish with chicken and a beef dish. The dessert we chose was coconut ice cream with sweetened rice, crunchy toppings and anchovies (they looked like hard sticks which I chose not to eat) served in a “brioche” bun. Super sweet and delicious. I didn’t think the bun was anything more than a heartier hot dog bun. Our service was really good and considering the restaurant was packed and there was simultaneously a party of maybe at least 20 diners, the kitchen and staff took excellent care of our needs. Loved my birthday celebration-ringing one of their huge bells, they announced to the entire restaurant my birthday with song and special complementary Thai tea ice cream complete with candle. A lucky and delicious find for us after visiting SFMOMA.“

“Amazing, me and friends alone driving in the roads at night. Hungry af went there and had amazing time and yes dinner was amazing. Had a time never to forge“

“This place was surprisingly great. New ownership, so I imagine they will probably redo the inside at some point - but the food and service was all really nice. Great Tom Kha & Kua Kai Kai Ob Noodles. We took my mother in law out for her birthday and they even served coconut ice cream with a candle :) will visit again.“

“Very authentic Thai food. Casual environment. Love their dessert and the shrimp paste fried rice.“

“Everything we’ve had here is so delicious!!! Our faves are the Tom Kha soup, BMV platter, Pad Kee Mao, Chicken Satay, and Mango sticky rice dessert…all so very yummy!!!“

“I order the pumpkin curry. It was delicious. I also ordered the Tom Ka chicken soup. It was too tart, the chicken over cooked. A disappointment for a soup I usually love“

“Generous portions, attentive service, delicious food, cute interior. My fave is the Chiang Mai Noodles! 🤤 And I love that the pad thai and pad see yu are very flavorful and saucy. They often have the basketball game on the big screen too. Great neighborhood spot, please support them!“
