The papaya salad, laab, chicken wings, and sai oua, were all delicious and very authentic tasting! By far the best Lao/Thai food I’ve had in the Chicago area. Will definitely come back for more papaya salad!

We had the chicken soup, papaya salad, sausages and nam khao along with a thai tea. Everything was fantastic, we’ll be back! Recommend you try 3/5 spiciness level unless you can tolerate a lot of heat!

this was good, but I'm a little sad I didn't like it more. all the flavors were good: some that were unique and new to me, some that felt familiar and comforting. I think I wished the textures were a bit better? the ground beef was a bit wet, kinda soggy almost, the fried pork was not quite as crispy as it could've been, same with the fried chicken.
it very much felt like home cooking, for better or worse. it was all good, nothing bad, but felt like it was missing just a final *something* to bring it up to a 5/5.

Great staff, better food. Never had Lao food, but this convinced me I need to have more. Really enjoyed our dinner here, a cute little spot for a quick little meal. If I lived down the street I'd be a regular. Really reasonable pricing.
