Simply amazing. We ordered three meals and couldn't pick our favorite, as they were all fantastic. We have certainly found a great restaurant which could easily become a go-to option. Thank you!

The bubble tea smoothie is phenomenal. I highly recommend the Pad Thai and the kimchi fried rice.

As per my weekly of getting bubble tea, I wanted to try a new place. I was recommended Gourmet Lao Foods for the bubble tea, but also their Lotus cookies. And let me tell you, the lotus cookies are amazing!I attempted to open the door, however I found it was locked. The owner was inside, wearing a mask, and directed us to the bubble tea menu posted on the window, along with their food menu. I called my order in and it was started immediately. After a short wait, the order was ready! She unlocked the door and let us in to pay. Gourmet Lao accepts cash and card. The bubble tea is great! You get a strong tea flavor which is something I look for in bubble tea. The bubbles were good, but not my cup of tea (pun not intended). They were soft and chewy on the outside but a bit firm on the inside. But don't let that detract from the amazing tea. The headliner, the main stage attraction of this review is the lotus cookie. One order comes with 3 cookies. These cookies are fried little crispy pieces of deliciousness. They have a perfect mild sweetness coupled with a pleasant sesame flavor and umami mouthfeel. I highly recommend these for every visit. I'll be sure to return to try their food, more lotus cookies, and other flavors of bubble tea!

The red and green curry are my favorites. This is my favorite Thai place in Buffalo!

Weird flavors. Tom kha gai was very bland. The pad Thai looked nothing like the pictures in other reviews. It tasted like Chinese food with the flavor resembling sweet and sour chicken. Curry was decent. Maybe it was an off day for them but overall not enjoyable.

I've been waiting for this place to open back up! I was looking for something different to try and decided on the fish curry. I also LOVE coconut sticky rice with mango so I knew I had to give it a try! The fish curry was soooo good! Give it a try! It was quite salty so I'm glad I had a huge side of white rice. The sticky rice was great too but not the best I've had. The rice was gooey and not too sweet. It tasted even better when I heated it in the microwave. The mango was alright. I feel it could've been fresher. Overall, I would still come back and try other dishes!

I really hope this place doesn't go anywhere. The wonderful lady who owns this place is doing an amazing job. Beyond polite and professional, made me feel like a regular even though I have only been twice. I have found the drink that I had want, anytime I want a drink. The Thai Tea Smoothie is nothing short of excuisete. The flavor is reminiscent of a mellow toasted marshmallow intertwined with classic Thai Tea. It was blended exactly how it should have been, and was silky smooth. I am excited to sample some of the menu in the future weeks

This seems like a small homely hole in the wall place near buff state. I came here for dinner with the bf. I got pad see ew and he got a coconut ginger lime soup with noodles. I thought that my dish was very small and much too salty (as if they stir fried it and seasoned afteer with fish sauce). On the other hand,, my boyfriend loved his soup. It's very sweet and coconut flavored broth with vermicelli noodles. He still asks me to go back all the time --only reason why this is a 4 star and not 3.

This is a wonderful hidden gem in Buffalo. The food is great and the owner is wonderful. The prices are very reasonable.

The massaman curry is great especially for the price. The owner and workers have always been kind and it is one of the cheapest places in buffalo to eat at.
Delicious food, wonderful service, fun staff. Overall, delightful experience. Thanks for being so close to campus.

Street parking right near Buffalo State College. Staff is friendly and will answer any of your questions. Food was hot and served to the spice I ordered/expected. I really enjoyed the Larb Chicken, Kaho Puen, and of course finished with a famous lotus cookie for dessert! They have bubble tea which was VERY good. There are a few tables (2 and 4 tops) inside that can be moved around to accommodate medium groups. Cash/Charge - can't wait to return!

The food here was amazing. Had the Pork Larb & Mok Kai. Both were great & tasted super authentic. They even gave me a complimentary Lotus Cookie when I was finished. I will be back very soon to try more dishes. I got a Lao Iced Coffee to-go and it was so good. One of the best coffees I've ever had.
