We have gotten food to go from here several times now and we just love it. It is FRESH. They pack it very well (sometimes too well! Once my noodles kept cooking on the ride home!) And the flavors are consistently delicious. One of my favorites is the panang curry. It is perfection. The crab rangoons actually have flavor and aren't just cream cheese rangoons like so many other places. My husband favors the Pad Thai and it is also really good. Sometimes I sneak a bite (or three) while plating the food - the flavor of it is straight up addicting. Don't sleep on this place! It's our new favorite food for date night and a movie at home!

Authentic with a real level of spice. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and did the right amount of checking in. Take a sweater, it's cold inside.

Just ordered on door dash. I asked for it really spicy and they delivered! Tastes amazing!
Fabulous Thai cuisine! It was our first time trying their food. Two of us ordered several items to take home. All of them were absolutely delicious! The Larb was incredibly flavorful. It was a very generous portion of ground chicken loaded with fresh mint and exotic flavors. They served it with cabbage and cucumbers (and sticky rice), which was extra nice because cabbage doesn't wilt in the container like lettuce when you order it elsewhere. It was perfect. The Tom Yum Soup is out of this world. I ordered it with fresh (not fried) tofu and was in heaven seeing actual thin stalks of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal in this savory hot and sour soup. I could've eaten a gallon of it! We enjoy a lot of Thai food from other good restaurants in the area, and this fab place may become our favorite! Another place we order from tends to focus too much on the tomato in their Tom Yum and not enough on the exotic Thai spices that perk up the palate. I've never tasted kaffir lime leaves or galangal in theirs. The Pad-Ka-Pow Stir Fry (with sliced chicken) was great, as was the Fried Rice Ka-Prow (chicken), Pad Kee Mao (chicken), Pot Stickers, and Fresh Salad Rolls with shrimp. The prices are extremely reasonable, and the portions were very generous. Andrew was very helpful when I called in the order and also when we picked up the meals. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in J.C. Living only 50 miles away, it's worth it to drive there, grab the grub, turn around, and drive back! I highly recommend Pho Lao Kitchen Der! By the way, they also perfectly accommodated the heat/spice levels we each requested. What a gem of a place!

The food and the server were great. The only complaint would be the timing of the food coming from the kitchen. We were served our meals later than others that came after us, and we didn't receive our food at the same time. We weren't in a rush so it wasn't a big deal, but it was odd.

Hubby and I came in this afternoon. A small little place but nice and quaint. Bathroom was clean. Air conditioning wasn't working but it wasn't uncomfortably hot that we noticed. At the servers recommendation I had the orange chicken. Hubby had the Massamun curry and asked for extra spicy. We started with Crab Rangoons. I was not disappointed. Beautiful, light and crisp chicken with perfect amount of orange. Absolutely delightful. Hubby said his spice preference was perfect. Overall, excellent meal, nice place, reasonable price!

AMAZING FOOD!!! My son and I ate there today and have to say - we both had the #26 which is the meatball and beef pho...DELICIOUS!!! The flavor is spot on. Also had the papaya salad with some heat and also the fried egg rolls. Working g at SAMS, I see the owners almost everyday shop and such nice people. I love how small and intimate the restaurant is. If I could give 10 STARS I would!!! Thank you Andrew for servicing us. To add, I also got the sweet sticky rice with mango and coconut milk YUM!!!!
