It has been over 24 hours and I'm still dreaming of the food I had here. The best crab rangoon I've ever had in life. They use real crab meat and it comes as a dip. The OG wings were amazing too. The naem khao was pretty decent too. It was my first time having this dish from anywhere so I have no baseline. Cannot wait to come here again.

Without a doubt one of the best spots in the Twin Cities. The food is phenomenal and packed with flavor. The egg rolls, Sen Mae Yai, and Lao sausage were fantastic. The sweet fish sauce and chili sauce sides were great. Portions were on the smaller side, however I much prefer that to the oversized portions you get at most restaurants in America. I also like the self-service/order on your phone model. Staff were very friendly. I do think it is a bit overpriced ($12 egg rolls…), but as the metro area is severely lacking in Laotian food, I’ll have no choice but to come back!

I paid $76 for about 8-10 oz of meat. Taste was decent but price was outrageous for how little bit of meat we got. We ordered the pork belly and short ribs. Never again!

The OG wings are some of the best wings I've ever had in my life. The staff is always friendly, the pickup time is very reasonable, and the food is incredibly consistent. My only regret is the wings are so good I haven't tried anything else.

After hearing about the delicious food for quite some time and seeing the high ratings - I was excited to try this place. We ordered the branzino, eggrolls, and Naem Khao. Here is my review:
Pros: food was punchy in flavor, the branzino was nicely presented.
Cons: basically 3 dine in tables for small group dining and some chairs for window seating. overpriced $10 eggrolls for 2 MINI, yes mini not even regular size eggrolls, Naem Khao was served over a bed of lettuce which inflated the look of a full bowl when it was just half full at an already ridiculous overpriced of $24. I've had way better Naem Khao in vegas for half that price. The branzino was OK tasting but was beautiful presented - a little too much lemongrass on the topping and side sauces were OK. We usually tip wherever we go, but I'm so so glad we didn't tip because they make you pay first before getting your food - that was my first red flag. You order at the counter. We were given menus and the ridiculous prices was the second red flag. There was practically no service aside from dropping off our food. We retrieved our own water, found our own utensils from other table as we didn't have spoons or forks or napkins at our table, we had to clean up and clear our own plates and tables. The place is very small and our food came out at a crawl considering it was very slow night - just us and another couple dining in on a Saturday night. The front of house staff dressed in baggy jeans and oversized sweatshirt which could be seen drapping over the food waiting for pick up next door. wish they would take into account basic and clean attire.
Final thoughts: first and last time here, ridiculous over priced food for a poor-self service dining experience. Pay half or similar price elsewhere for a full service restaurant with much better dining experience, better food, and better service! We've had better service, food, and experiences at other small mom and pop eateries and hole-in-the-wall places.

I'm sorry$26 for garlic chicken noodles?! $13 for wings? I can't even afford to eat there. So no, I didn't eat there. I was looking to order and saw the pricing and ran far away. Get over yourselves and be realistic.
