Although I'm Mien, their khao soi here is 99% identical to the way my mom makes it. The sausage is also almost the same way my parents make it. The food here is very authentic (as most hole in the wall places that's situated in the hood) and homey, which is a good thing. Don't expect no Instagrammable type presentation or decor/ambiance, come here for the food. It is made to cater the Lao and a couple of the Laotian hilltribe communities here in Richmond and those who know these communities and love their food.

Authenticity is the key in the offerings from this restaurant, using the space from and old ethnic grocery store, the owners serves Laotian food that are home made. tried their mokpla, papaya salad, sausages, pork, sweet rice....all are properly done and perfectly seasoned.

My only issue with this place, it may be small to some people, but charging us for a bottle of water vs just serving us a cup of water, really cheap of them. The food is good. The bathroom is clean. It’s wheelchair accessible.

Excellent, family-owned Lao restaurant nestled in San Pablo. The food is great across the board and the service is top-notch. Don’t come expecting premium ambiance, but if looking for solid Lao food (been to Laos and my fiancée worked in Laos for a year) definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Worst papaya salad I've ever tried i have no idea what are all the good reviews and I'm pretty sure i was overcharged for some papaya salad and a little bit of sticky rice

Don't be fooled by the interior. This place is amazing. The food is absolutely delicious. Especially the soups!
I'm only giving 4 stars because homie hussled me with the water thing first visit. Food smacks though. Best, most authentic in the area.

Hole in the wall place. Ordered takeout. Food was good but the papaya salad was so spicy! They said it was mild, but it was hot. I could not finish it, which is a shame since it was very good. The owner was very nice and was patient to take my order.Parking: Tight

This is in a sketchy neighborhood in Richmond I am quite scared to be in here but once you get in, it's a big place. I wanted to try their seafood but they didn't have any. I ordered the egg roll Let's see.
