Korean restaurants in the US rarely serve dishes made with organ meats, but Lao restaurants offer many options. Lao cuisine surprisingly suits the Korean palate well. Thom Kureng Nai tastes even better with fresh cilantro, extra vegetables, and a sprinkle of chili flakes. It’s a bit salty, so ask for a little extra water.

Long Review
Korean restaurants in the US often avoid organ-based dishes due to customer preferences and ingredient sourcing, so you don’t see many soups like naejangtang. In contrast, Lao restaurants offer a wide variety of organ dishes. It’s interesting to see how many of them align well with Korean tastes, which made me rethink Lao food culture.

Although organ soups can be unfamiliar to many Americans, once you develop a taste for them, they become quite addictive. Thom Kureng Nai is especially worth trying. Add fresh cilantro, plenty of vegetables, and sprinkle some chili flakes for a deeper, more savory flavor. The dish can be on the salty side, so it helps to ask for a little extra water to balance it out.

First timer ordering and I will never go back. Paying $5 for a sticky rice in unbelievable and that’s it’s the size of your palm. Did it for me. The soup not filled all the way and no chilli oil and $14 to eat not happy at home now

Ramono is one of the best servers I’ve met! Super polite, friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful. Imperial rolls were good, and don’t miss the Nam Kao - crispy fried rice with pork and mint, served with lettuce wrap - a really unique, tasty dish. The mango sticky rice is on the sweeter side. Would love to come back and try other dishes on the menu!

This place is hit or miss. Sometimes its good but other times its really really bad. It would be either too salty or too dry. Lack of consistency in quality and taste.
