Nice authentic Laos food. Had the papaya salad prepared crispy and fresh, Lao sausage, chicken Laab was excellently seasoned. Finished with grilled pork and melon boba! It was delicious and filling meal.

Great food. We had Unagi Don and Chicken Fried Rice. Paired it with Pineapple Boba Tea and Lychee. Followed with Mango sticky rice. I enjoyed the quiet and relaxed feeling I got from eating here.

Experience was oookay.
The owners were respectful and kind. The environment was clean and presentable. The price point was roughly $10 each plate which isn't breaking the bank. I am asian and I can tell they were authentically Laotian which makes it feel better that the food will be more authentic.
Unpopular opinion?? Honestly, I feel the ratings and reviews read prior to choosing this restaurant were inflated. In my humble opinion, the flavors and some of the amount didn't reflect the price points though. I am asian and have had good lao food. I am not asking for Michelin food. I am asking for food that has a bit more quality. I understand that the name says street food so the portions are meant to be small. We left not completely full nor satisfied but glad to have tried so we can say we did. Not full? Sure, we can forgive but not satisfied due to a few reasons makes it slightly challenging to return. I love mom and pop shops and want to support but I may only be able to support them this first time only.
Food was mediocre at best. We got: (1) the grilled chicken but it wasn't grilled and flavor was ok only (2) papaya salad - amount is small and flavor is ok, though we loved the crispy fried pork skin it came with (3) nam khao - flavorful but slightly on salty end with hardly any of the cured pork sausage (they were so small and far and few, almost like light toppings. I had to dig for them to confirm if they were present and that is not what I want in a dish) nor was it made properly. Usually the rice is made in balls, deep fried and torn apart for equal amounts of crispiness and texture. They seemed to have cooked it in a pan and scrapped off the bottom parts that are slightly cooked more and they're in bigger longer pieces that aren't equally distributed (4) small sticky rice each for $2 - rice slightly on the tougher side where it's almost stale, probably premade and warmed up in the microwave. Not a fan of the presentation in Ziploc bags.

Absolutely delighted with our experience at this Laos restaurant! A solid 5 stars from us. From the moment we stepped in, the service made us feel like cherished guests in someone's home. The owners, an adorable couple, add a personal touch that enhances the overall dining experience.
We ordered the #17 Khao Pek Sen Soup, and it was beyond amazing. The crispy onions added a delightful crunch, and the option to customize with hoisin, fish sauce, sriracha, and chili oil was a flavorful bonus. The accompaniments of bean sprouts, lime wedges, and sliced jalapeños made the dish even more authentic. Kudos to the owner who, recognizing my husband's sensitivity, offered a complimentary bowl of fried rice to balance the spice levels.
The prices are incredibly reasonable compared to other places, and the complementary bottled water is a nice touch. We couldn't resist trying the taro boba to go, and it turned out to be the best boba we've ever had. The consistency, like a milkshake with finely ground ice, was incredibly satisfying. As a sweet surprise, the owner included free mango popping bubbles.
We're spreading the word to all our friends – this place is a gem, and we'll definitely be back!

What a great place. Food was amazing, service outstanding and the atmosphere was cozy.
We came for a late lunch at 2:30 on Saturday . We were the only patrons there at the time (others came afterwards)
We started with the fresh spring rolls. We then split a Bbq pork bahn mi (not pictured). We got each got a separate dish. I got the Tonkotsu Ramen and my friend got the Chashu Don. Of course we had to try each other’s dish.
All I can say is our minds were blown away. This was the first time we have tried this cuisine and will not be the last.
