Laotian Restaurants near Grapevine, TX

“Generous servings, the vegetables were all very fresh tasting and the chicken looked to me as only white meat which I prefer. The Tom Kha was the best we've had so far!! It was full of vegetables and we chose chicken for our protein. Even the broth alone was so so good! It comes with rice so definitely a filling meal unlike other places that I've tried. The Drunken Noodles had a perfect amount of thai basil which is always a winner! My fiance got it with chicken and shrimp level 2 spice. Everything is made without spice but you can pick a level 1-5 or just get the chili oil on the side and add more to your liking. I got the Pad Woon Sen level 1 spice with chicken and it was perfect for me.“

“So, this place certainly looks like a hole in the wall. The inside ambience is not remarkable either. However, the food is authentic. The chefs and servers know their food and we loved every item. Portions are not super great but decent. Spice levels can be adjusted as we wish.“

“This place was near our hotel, and we wanted some soup to end our day. The restaurant is located in a sketchy area by some apartments and inside a market-style setup. I ordered the chicken khao poon. While the flavor was good, I really wish they offered the vegetables on the side instead of mixing them into the bowl. I didn’t like the taste of the bean sprouts and purple cabbage. It would be much better served separately.

Their sticky rice was also given in a syrofoam to-go container instead of the traditional Lao rice container (thip khao), which keeps the rice warmer and adds to the authentic dine-in experience.

Coming from a health department background (although not in this city), I was very turned off seeing staff wearing sandals while taking orders and serving food. They should know this is not up to health code and could easily be reported.

Customer service was non-existent. No one checked in on us, and we were short on napkins the entire time. The Thai iced tea was also way too sweet because of the heavy condensed milk.

Overall, the food was decent, but the presentation, environment, and lack of basic health standards were disappointing.“

“Great food and service come check it out!“

“We LOVED this restaurant! The food was just incredible and the people were wonderfully helpful regarding the menu and various customizations. You can also customize how spicy (1-5) you want your food. Ingredients were fresh, portions were large, and as mentioned, the staff is courteous, friendly and hospitable. Go in and see them!“
