This is the best place I’ve ever eaten in my life! The service was impeccable. The sprite was very spicy and appetizing during a hot summer day. It was finger licking good! The food was hot and ready. Spicy goodness, like a boss! Will come again for sure.
This papaya salad is seriously amazing! Authentic Lao-style flavor — bold, spicy, and full of that rich fermented fish sauce aroma. The papaya strips are crunchy and fresh, and the seasoning hits all the right notes: spicy, salty, tangy, and perfectly balanced. Served with warm, sticky rice that’s soft and fragrant — the perfect match for a spicy dish like this. If you love real, fiery papaya salad with strong flavors, this one is a must-try!
Good place for dinner when seeking Thai or Lao cuisine. The Pad Thai was good and the beef larb was fine. The beef larb was on the sour side but tasted fine. Thai coffee and tea was good too.
