User Reviews

The food here was great. It’s not fancy, or in a fancy neighborhood, but if you like food, it’s 5 stars. I had the Laotian stew, which was my favorite. I tried some new dishes and it was exciting! Thank you for your excellent service.

Everything was delicious and authentic. No notes. Big fan of the thicker rice noodles in their style of fresh spring rolls. We ordered the yellow lamb curry. The meat fell apart and wasn’t dry at all, so amazing. Also the red curry fried salmon eggplant dish was delicious. The pieces of salmon were small and varied on dryness/moistness. Still yummy tho

We ended up here by coincidence - a very happy one! They have a broad selection with many amazing options. The food was ready fairly quickly, we had it to go but you can also dine in in their cozy dining area. Friendly staff. The sticky mango dessert was absolutely delicious.

I recommend this place 100% all the food is great. the service is not that great due to the volume of people that visit this place iced coffee Lao’s sausage chicken soup rice noodles everything is delicious 🤤

Very good Thai / Lao food. Parking can be a little challenging at night. We always get the Nam Khao - rice ball salad.

Flavorful, family-run Oakland Laotian restaurant (with Thai and Vietnamese options) serving something for everyone. Beef pho, solid with clean tasting broth and generous portions. Lao sausage, yum! Order one per person minimum and enjoy in the herby citrus that cuts perfectly through the fat. Deep fried quails perfect as a gamey appetizer to share with friends. One of many Southeast Asian gems in East Bay.

Google this place on our way home. Service was fast and friendly. We enjoyed the Thai tea the most from our order, it was decent and herbal enough. The large papaya was sadly too salty and small for $11. The $3 sausage was good. The pad Thai was more wet than my liking and wasn't as flavorful. This place is decent and ok for Thai food. Not the best but also not the worst. No dine in only takeout.

This is my favorite Laotian restaurant. It was open for takeout only until a short time ago, and now it's dine in. How I missed eating there. The crispy rice salad, Laotian salad with a strong pungent shrimp paste flavor, Laotian sausage, dry beef are some of the excellent dishes. It sits in a sketchy residential neighborhood, fairly safe in the daytime.
