The boat soup is amazing!! Get the crispy pork and put in soup. Had great lunch! Owner was server too.
Boyfriend and I came in to eat here for our Anniversary! The food was AMAZING! Food tasted like my grandmother’s cooking. Customer service was wonderful, love the ladies there! Definitely will be coming back again.
Been there twice so far!!! The Red Curry with Beef and the Drunken Beef Noodles are the talk of town!!! Souli and Tania are the best!!! 🙌

Sao Lao Thai Café offers authentic Thai and Laotian cuisine with a strong focus on quality and flavor. The food is praised for being on par with top establishments in Thailand and California. Popular dishes include the flavorful tom yum soup that comes out very hot and fresh with plenty of meat, the very best Thai red curry, and the papaya salad. The laab is a standout dish, known for its perfect balance of flavors, though some might prefer it spicier. The owner is the kindest person, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, even during busy times. The warm, cozy, family-run atmosphere makes it a favorite spot for families, friends, or coworkers seeking delicious and well-crafted Asian dishes. The restaurant is clean and lively, and the menu is not overwhelming, allowing for various options like adding tofu or choosing between normal Jasmine and sticky rice. The quick and efficient counter service ensures a pleasant dining experience. Overall, Sao Lao Thai Café is a gem worth visiting for anyone craving authentic Thai and Laotian flavors. It is easy to find off Shepherd just north of 610, with plenty of parking available.
