My colleagues and I stopped by here for lunch, mainly because I wanted to try their boat noodles! I love boat noodles and would love to try every Thai place that offers it so I can compare! This place is alright. The broth is pretty thick and dense, I think there's a lot of pork blood in the broth for flavor. Overall it has a good flavor and they don't offer a combo bowl, the default is just beef and if you want to add like tripe it's an addition. Their tripe is very well clean. The noodle was okay, they don't have big noodle and the small noodle was alright. My other colleagues got something else and they liked their food! Overall it was good.

Food is fantastic, the place it is in though is sometimes crowded so it would be hard to find a place to park and the place isnt quite as big. Service was pretty decent and quick. Ambiance is nice and workers seem friendly.

Went last night to get some pad seew, Thai tea, and to the chicken wings. I order an hour before closing and the quality of the food wasn't compromised at all!! The food was hot and fresh. Staff was nice as always.

We love this restaurant so much and wish we live close by to have their food everyday. Everything is so delicious and service is friendly. The restaurant is clean and cozy with a few tables. The food comes out quick with a generous portion and the right temperature. Their hours are limited so check before making the trip but won't be disappointed with food for sure! Highly recommended!

Food is very authentic to the culture and traditions. Very tasty and delicious from the appetizers to the desserts. Definitely recommend the somtum platter to get a little taste of everything.

This is a great local spot for Lao and Thai street food. Although I only tried the chicken phad Thai, which was amazingly delicious still a great spot! It was a sweet, tamarind and savory flavor. Just right! It's a small spot but busy. Friendly service. The food is cooked hot and served to you on disposable plates. I would have given it a five star but the tables were so sticky the menu was stuck to the table.

My family and I went this past weekend after a trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Ordered the garlic pepper tofu and boat noodles. Both were pretty salty. We only finished half without the sauce. The restaurant is on the smaller size, so it was getting packed with less seating (quite tight between chairs). Also, for anyone that expects there to a restroom, they don't have one for you (even if you're a paying customer). We ended up going to Home Depot down the street just so I could use the restroom afterwards. So, if you plan on drinking lots of Thai tea or water, make sure you have a backup plan for using a restroom. My husband asked if I could use their restroom and they said 'no.'

Hands down, best spot in Long Beach for Lao food. Me and my family frequently order delivery or will make the drive down to Signal Hill. It’s located in an unassuming plaza that also has an amazing sushi spot. My favorite dishes on repeat:Boat Noodle (I can’t order this anywhere else because I need the sour sauce that comes with this dish to cut the blood. Yes, the dark soup is made from blood!)Crispy PorkLao SausageTom Yum SoupKhao PiakFried Chicken WingsSom Tum (lao style papaya salad with the dark and fishy sauce - the only way I like it)Honestly, everything is authentic and delicious!It’s a simple spot. You order first and then take a seat. Your food will come out fast and hot. Don’t expect a waitress to take your order here.

My first time here. After the good reviews and pics I saw on Instagram I decided to drop by. I dined in and I ordered the pad see yew. My wife ordered one of the noodle soup I forgot the name. It had red curry and the bowl was filled half-way. Not even to the top. It was delicious but very small portions on a small paper plate that I got. Me and my wife was still very hungry afterwards. And the meal with drinks and tip was 40 bucks. I felt cheated because we were both still hungry and afterwards we went to Little Caesars because of such a small portions we got. Also, there was no restroom that I could use while I was there. The dining area was small. Its not worth coming back.

Omg I love this place! I usually get the shrimp spring rolls and a side of chili oil to mix in the peanut sauce. So good! I also love the drunken noodles and paid Thai. The Thai tea is also really good. Wait time can be long especially on weekends.

My fiancé, future sister in law, and I needed a quick place to eat after finalizing some wedding things in Long Beach. We found this hole in the wall and my fiancé said he saw an IG post regarding this place. Very cute mom and pop shop. Cute vibes. We were very excited to try Laotian Thai food and we ordered a bunch of dishes. We ordered the Lao Papaya Salad very good flavors and how I would like the papaya salad. My fiancé ordered the Kaprow and that was very delicious with wok flavor (if you know what that means). My future sister in law and I ordered the same Ka Poon Soup but I added pork loaf and my future sis in law added quail eggs. My my .... the Ka poon Soup flavors were very flavorful thin but not thick just right. We ordered 3 of these togo for my future in laws. We also ordered the Lao Sausage, can definitely taste the lemon leaves in the Lao Sausage and they provided two dipping sauce with it, sweet and sour and fish sauce which was amazing to dip with the sausage. Service was great! It was family owned, the little kid helped his mom out with our dishes. Definitely will come back to try their Nam Kao!

We came across a Thai/Lao food on our visit to Long Beach trip. The staff/server were really friendly and helpful. The food were tasty/delicious and large portions. Think we over order for just two people but we have midnight snacks. the place was small but cozy and have one community style table. That was perfect for us since we over order, not know the size of our food. We will definitely return. Missing the food still from Colorado.

No matter how many times I go here the food is always delicious Customer Service is on point. Altho it's always busy the wait is never long.
