This experience was disappointing; it wasn’t like that at the opening days. The place was packed, loud, and the noise made it hard to hear anything. The lighting has also been dimmed so much that it’s hard to read the menu. They’ve changed some menu items as well: I ordered the Lao sausage, but instead of the usual sliced sausage, I got a different type—round ones that were undercooked. They also swapped out the mango salad with cucumber salad in the Ping Kao dish and removed the cucumber slices. Comparing with photos from my previous visits, the portions now seem noticeably small . Too bad because the food are still good but need improvements . I am Laotian and know very well the dishes … The waitress was great and professional .

A legit 5 star flavour and portion size restaurant.
I got delivery and I was blown away. Can only imagine how good in person.
I was here for lunch on a Thursday. The restaurant was not busy at all at noon with only a handful of tables occupied. I enjoyed the empty restaurant as it gave me an opportunity to catch up with a good friend over a delicious meal. We ordered the spring rolls, taro rolls, green curry with chicken, and the pork belly.
Our appetizers came quickly and by the time we were done, the mains came out with a side of steamed rice. The flavours were exceptional, as was the attentive service.

Went there to try Laotian food and it was my first time trying the cuisine. We got the Tam Mak Hoong (Papaya Salad), Sai Oua (Lao Sausage) that came with Khao Niew (Sticky Rice) and Khao Poon (Vermicelli Noodles in Red Coconut Curry). All of them tasted good and the service was great too.

Had a reservation but they only had bar seats. Came from after work and there was no spot to put my backpack and tote bags... First time I came they mentioned reservation only.
The food took soooo long to arrive. Maybe 20-30 mins to get the main after our 1 app arrived. I think they waited for both mains to be ready at the same time because 1 main (chicken lemongrass) was cold. Like room temperature, while the other main (pad ke mao) was hot. The pad ke mao was good but very oily. Portion for both mains was small. Definitely need to order at least 1 main and 1 app per person. We Ordered 2 apps, 2 main, and then ate a 2nd dinner elsewhere lol.
Our fav items were the pork skewers, lemongrass bbq chicken, tapioca dumplings.

Not very parking friendly so your best bet is a parking garage and a short walk. What an amazing place, we showed up with no reservation and it was packed, after 15 mins we had a table. The service was great and the food was amazing! We are from Laos and it was just like the food back home. The bar was decorated with several reminders of Laos and looked awesome, although I didn’t see a Lao flag or the hammer&sickle? The prices were pretty reasonable but a little bit expensive. My only disappointment was when paying I had 3 options of tip starting at 18%, instead of pay the bill and a cash tip.
The apps for us started out strong with the jerky and morning glory. Unfortunately as the dishes kept coming, the flavours you'd expect in authentic lao food really started to become muted. They toned down the flavours in the papaya salad, laap salad and even beef salad which are all known for their strong pungent flavours. I know they were trying to appeal to the masses, but then it really tastes away from the authenticity and flavours of thr dishes
