This place has become one of my favorite restaurants in town. it's a 10/10 in the food department and the drinks are cheap. The flavors that they are cooking up in here are really bright herbal flavors combined with savory perfectly. It's also just a less common flavor profile among our more common Asian restaurants in town. You gotta get down here.

I got this delivered to me and was not satisfied. I was surprised, my noodles were in the broth and they were already so soggy. I’m disappointed because I really wanted sukiyaki. Maybe I need to go in person but not what I thought

Delicious Lao food! They have a variety of authentic Lao food to choose from. I love that they make things actually spicy when you ask. There is ample seating from inside to outside. They also have beer on tap!
I definitely recommend the Papaya Salad.

Really cute place. Was excited to try it. You order at a counter and then get your food yourself with a buzzer so keep that in mind for if you decide to tip since you pay first! You also have to bus your own table so surprised it asked for a tip honestly. 🤷‍♀️ Staff was friendly enough, but yeah no service to speak of even though the restaurant is pretty big. Decent and vegetarian options. Overall it felt pricey for what we got (I got a noodle dish and it was 99% noodles with no real veggies to speak of)

Husbands dish was better. It was all okay. Not sure if I'd be back but was cool to try something a little different.

The good:
The food was BOMB. Super delicious.

We got multiple things, (wings, mango sticky rice, crispy rice and a chicken dish) and they were all phenomenal.

The bad:
The service is nonexistent at best, insolent at worst.

Ordering at the counter and bussing your own table is pretty standard in Portland, but the lady working seemed bothered by us being there at all.

She was irritated when we came up to order and was even more annoyed when we came in a second time because we didn’t know where the silverware was. (She knew we were dining in, but didn’t bring it with our food and didn’t tell us where it was.)
There was some type of catered event happening inside and they were playing loud music, music. We sat outside to get away from the noise, but then they started blaring the music outside as well. It was a very unwelcoming atmosphere.

Overall, I would go back for the food and I’ll hope that whoever is working isn’t rude.

Grabbed a delivery yesterday. Massive portions of totally legit street food! The larb is the most authentic I've had since living in Thailand years ago.

Super cute place, the outdoor patio/seating area has a nice atmosphere. We ordered extra extra spicy and ngl, died a little bit. So it's legit foreal spicy, they aren't lying when they tell you it's spicy. Always add the extra funk when ordering the papaya salad. Super dank, reminded me of home, really authentic.

But food is too salty for me.

I love this place. Best lao food in town. Excellent service. I used to live in the Cully district long before this amazing spot was there. If it had been, it would have been a lot harder to leave!! Everything is delicious. This is a fun atmosphere, chill vibe, delicious snacks to go, I cannot help but smile when I’m there. In a bad mood? Had a bad day? Come to this spot! You will leave happy. And with snacks!
