Laotian Restaurants near Auburn, WA

“We lived in Laos for 7 years and love Lao food. This is by far the most authentic tasting Lao food that we have found. We especially like their nem khao, Lao style sausages, and their jeow mak lin is the only real-tasting Lao tomato salsa that I have ever found outside of Laos or my wife's kitchen. They have done amazing job with their flavors and indoor casual atmosphere (feels very modern Vientiane chic). They seem to have a hard time keeping their khao piak noodles on hand so if you really your khao piak fix, be sure to call ahead. I have now been to Sweet Rice 5 times and they have never had the khao piak noodles. If you want really good Lao food and can't get over there, you can get your fix at Sweet Rice!“

“Blazing Bowl used to be at the Bellevue Crossroads mall, and it's now reopened here as part of the owner's other restaurant! All of the food served is excellent, from the Lao and Thai staples to the custom hotpot, but the hotpot is where this place really shines. You have a personal bowl of broth on an induction heater, then plates of mix-ins (vegetables, thin meat, eggs, noodles, etc) go around on a belt like a sushi-go-round and you pick them up and add them to your hotpot to cook, then eat it bowl by bowl! Plenty of vegetarian options as well, and since you have your own bowl there's no contamination. Come for the unique experience and stay for the incredible taste.“
