Laotian Restaurants near Renton, WA

“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.“

“Cute, kitschy, casual ambiance. The Lao chicken noodle soup- wow. I’m so picky with noodles of any kind and this was spot on al dente ( I think it’s house made) and the broth was rich and deep without being overtly salty. The bork belly was also great and paired well with the soup.“
