Laotian Restaurants near Washington, DC

“Amazing dishes. Chive cakes, marigold, Laos wine, the butterfly and hummingbird were delicious. The presentation on the pla tong ma was almost as good as the flavor. Aim helped us choose our dishes and provided excellent service.“

“Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious!! Pork belly is my fav !!!“

“Cozy restaurant with big personality. Our server was happy to be there and answer any questions asked. We got the steamed dumplings and crab Rangoon. By far the best crab Rangoon we’ve enjoyed to date. Will be back to try the drunken noodles!“

“Really great Thai place at Eastern Market! The interior is so fun and trendy and they have wine and beer and cocktails, a very cute bar! Will definitely be visiting regularly. We did the papaya salads for lighter fare. The spice level was perfect and you can ask for spicier if you want to.“

“Went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon because Baan Mae had been rated in a recent Washington Post top 20 list. It was incredible. Started with the Koi Goong Dang that I could've easily eaten my weight in. Delicate and spicy shrimp dish that was lovely. My main was the Thom Kehm pork ribs that were delicately delicious. My companion who is a vegetarian had the tofu Pad See Eaw which also got rave reviews. The quality and finesse of the food at that price point is phenomenal in DC where often quantity and environmental hype supplant quality and creativity. I'll be back soon.“

“Incredible food, vibrant atmosphere, the smell of succulent grilled meats and curries and lemongrass just stimulate your senses, and the warm, caring hospitality of the servers make for a memorable dining experience! We can’t wait to go back on a regular basis!“

“I've always been a fan and a regular customer for years at this little neighborhood place esp when they run a much loved lunch buffet. I went back a few days ago to revisit their food and service. The service is as good as ever; however, I was surprised at how much they have increased on their prices. I guess expansion and growth (they opened another branch in Arlingnton several years ago) is inevitable and capitalizing on this popularity has its own upside and downside. I ordered their Paa Tad fish dish which did not disappoint but a simple fried fish and for its size, the price was a bit exorbitant for me. I would still visit the place but would be more careful about my choices next time.“
