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!“

“I remember seeing this place pop up on social media a lot when they first opened as I hear they have probably some of the best Laotian food in the area. I have only had a few Laotian dishes and so I was really looking forward to this spot! I ordered their chicken Pad Lao on DoorDash and was very happy with it as the flavors were some of the best that I have ever had, minus the spice level as I ordered a 4 and it felt very mild.

The next time I visited in person with my mother and brother who were excited to try them out as I raved to them about the food that I had received. We got their 40 minutes before closing but the kind gentleman said nothing about closing soon and let us choose our seats. The inside was decently sizes to accommodate all party sizes. The decor is thoughtful and feels like a cozy home.

Our waiter handed us menus and then got us waters before taking our order. My mom got their pad kee mao with chicken (2 stars), my brother got the pad lao with chicken, I got their traditional Kao Pon, and a order of their lao pork sausages. I was surprised by how fast food arrived as my Kao Pon arrived before the sausages but it wasn't too long before the rest of the food arrived. My family members were also impressed and happy with their food, though they said the spice levels were definitely on the spicier side than other places. We want to come back to try out their other dishes as this is some of the best Laotian and Thai food we have had!“
