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“

“On my first visit to San Francisco, I stumbled upon this gem. From the moment I walked in, I felt at home. The food was incredible, and meeting the owner-chef was a treat—everything was perfectly prepared, fast, and the service was excellent. The location was clean, and I can’t thank them enough for making me feel at ease. A true standout!“

“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!!!“

“Lao Garden is an amazing new addition to West Berkeley! The food is incredible- every time we’ve been there, we have been blown away by how delicious everything is. The lettuce wraps are incredible, as are the drunken noodles, red curry, papaya salad….. and everything else on the menu. They are able to make almost everything into a vegetarian option, which is great too! I highly recommend supporting this local business. It’s the best!“

“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“

“I order here all the time for my family (usually pick-up)
It's always super delicious and very good quality.
The other night, they forgot to give me one dish I had ordered - I called to let them know I was headed back there so they started making it right away. Then was given a Thai iced tea upon arrival (for my troubles) - Super nice of them - Will come back for sure :)“
