My favorite Lao/Thai restaurant. They’re so generous with the side of fresh vegetables and portions too. Food is packed with flavor and the spice I’ve been craving. The people there are so friendly and I was also a fan of their restaurant Blazing Bowl in Redmond so it’s no surprise that their food is delicious. Good place to go if you actually want spicy food or just authentic Lao cuisine in general. Their papaya salad, phad see ew, Nam khao are good if you’re not sure what to get. I’ll be back to try their noodle soups. The restaurant is very cozy and they’re very fast with pick up as well. Be sure to check them out!

Food was delicious. Ordered the papaya salad and the pad garlic 5 stars. The negative was the cashier didn’t have a welcoming presence. I ordered to-go. He mumbled something then neglected me. I told him again that I ordered to-go. Then he finally spoke up and said “it’s on the counter” then avoided me. But other then that food was great!!

The naem khao was PERFECT! I'm a bit too lazy to make this dish at home, so it was a treat to have it finally :) It was super duper! They provided plenty of lettuce and also extra cilantro & mint. I was a bit surprised that the staff never came around to fill our waters or check on us after bringing the food, but it was fine. We didn't need anything, but it's just a nice formality that I'm used to at other places. I also ordered the tom khem, thai coffee, and thai tea. The tom khem was WAY too salty, and they didn't give enough rice to balance the saltiness of the soup. It was good flavor, but I would've preferred the sweetness to come through a little more than the saltiness. The pork belly in the soup was very tender and delicious. The thai tea was WAY too sweet as well. I had to water it down for it to be more enjoyable. I'm the type of person that enjoys the boldness of a thai tea, and the sugar just overpowered the unique flavor of the thai tea which was a little upsetting. I think the sweetness level on the thai coffee was also a bit too much, but it seemed to work better since coffee itself is more bitter. Overall, I would come again just for the naem khao. I would like to try my other favorite dish, Lad Na, but I'm worried they might make it too salty based on my experience with the tom khem. 4/5

Ordered through a Uber . The soup was good pad Se ew was bland I requested 5 star no spice . Highly disappointed
I ordered takeout of a few dishes to try for my first time here. Blown away by the freshness, flavor and quality. Spice levels are also very generous. Papaya salad is one of my favorite foods and theirs really hit the spot. Can't wait to come back to try more dishes for dine-in service.

There was no one in the restaurant when we got there. We were seated quickly and I felt like I was interrupting the waiter’s personal phone time. Kind of awkward. Would’ve loved to give this place a great rating and kept seeing how great it was on TikTok but it was not it. Ordered phad Thai and it was probably my least fav phad Thai out of all the many restaurants I’ve eaten. Thom khem was a lot more watery than I was used to. Pork egg-rolls were not it. I’d recommend just getting the veggie egg-rolls because that’s what it tasted like, but with small bits and pieces of pork. Probably would not eat here again.

The short ribs were satisfactory. They were cooked thoroughly and seasoned with what tasted to be monosodium glutamate. The jeow was delectable, offering a harmonious blend of spiciness, umami, and pungency.
However, the Thom Khem was very disappointing. The broth lacked the desired balance between sweet, salty, and umami flavors, leaning more toward the salty side. Khem means salt, and they took it to a literal translation in their dish. It was thin and devoid of the rich pork essence characteristic of this dish. Additionally, the caramelization from the sugar was not discernible. The broth's consistency suggested the possibility of it being prepared from a packet rather than undergoing the traditional cooking process of reduction and simmering for an extended period. A properly prepared Tom Khem broth should be rich and thick from the pork fat rendering out and have a noticeable coating effect on the lips and mouth due to the presence of collagen, which was unfortunately lacking in this dish. Regrettably, I cannot recommend this dish and will not be ordering it again.
The Laos sausage was packed with flavors and spices, but overall it didn't live up to my expectations. I don't know if they're made daily, but it seemed the latter.
