The kitchen delivers flavor while the staff delivers attention. I was pleased with the food quantity. He was very communicative without being intrusive. The serving sizes impress at budget-friendly rates. Hope you leave happy.

The fiid at Pho Thai Lao Kitchen is absolutely delicious. The Pad Thai was better than any I have ever had.

Although I wanted to go to this restaurant this Wednesday which was the day of Laotian independence day, I am happy I was able to have this done within the very week of Laos having its national holiday. My first taste of Laotian cuisine was a delight: I had the Larb which is a special salad of Laotian culture. I loved the the way the chicken was prepared with the cabbage, cilantro and scallion mix, and the sticky rice. Lastly, the mango sticky rice which I had before from Thai restaurants was magnificently appealing.

Amazing food!! Everything is served fresh and hot!
We got the larvae at medium spice and it was a perfect shareable app/salad. Also grabbed the pho viet style and it was perfect for a cold evening.

Our visit was a mixed bag of some highs and major lows. I'm not sure there was anything that wowed us to entice a return visit any time soon but if you find yourself here, I can at least recommend the massaman curry and pad woon sen noodles. The massaman curry here is insanely creamy and tasty, with a hearty helping of vegetables. We ordered it with tofu, which came in cubes of the soft, unfried variety. Paired with rice, this was a winning dish. The pad woon sen - a savory glass noodle dish - can also be ordered with one's choice of protein. We liked it well enough with the chicken, and found it to be well-seasoned. Our server brought us some hot chili sauce on the side, and the spice lover in me was only too happy to heap spoonfuls of it over everything.

Our interactions with servers were...interesting. One of our servers seemed rather terse and cold, while the other hovered a little more than I would've liked. When he saw me taking out my camera, he reached in to take my fork. He used it and his bare hands to rearrange our appetizers, seemingly for the pictures. It was a raised brow moment for us, as was finding that our coconut shrimp neither tasted remotely close to coconut and that it was still frozen in the middle. We pointed this out to our server, who apologized and took it back. But instead of bringing out a fresh plate, it turned out they'd just refried our original pieces, even the ones we'd half eaten. Much as I'd hate to raise alarms for such a small and homely business, we couldn't help but wonder about whether it was sanitary to recook eaten food in their deep fryer.

This restaurant has been described in lots of other reviews as a hole-in-the-wall, which feels true. While it's more spacious on the inside than it seems on the outside, there's a smallness and intimacy to the restaurant. The menu is also fairly short and streamlined to a few categories. There's no dedicated parking lot, but we were able to find free street parking without too much trouble.

Entirely outstanding without reservation. The prices reflect fairness while the food excels. The team demonstrates remarkable professionalism. The food quality is consistently high! I'm already scheduling my return.

I have only ordered through GrubHub.
From what I have ordered, the taste is on point. The execution needs work. That being said I would go to this place over all others because the taste profile is correct.
Keep up the phenomenal tastes! Thank you

I ordered the pork chop through UberEats, and I honestly couldn’t believe how bad it was. The flavor was unpleasant from the first bite, the texture made it even worse, and finishing it felt impossible. This wasn’t just below average — it was truly inedible for me. I haven’t tried their other dishes, so maybe those are better, but this pork chop was an unforgettable disappointment — and not in a good way.

Hands down best food/restaurant I’ve been to in years. This place is very under appreciated and needs its proper recognition. Definitely coming back.

I love Thai food, that's why I ordering from this place, but it was the worst food I've ever had in my life, I would never order from them again and on top of that, they got my order wrong, they didn't send me the correct order and I ended up paying so much money for garbage food.
