Ordered takeout per the menu that I found online. When time to checkout the prices were 30% higher. I get inflation but this feels more like bait and switch. The crying tiger beef ($13.99 though the menu online was7.99) had good flavor but very chewy low grade meat. The menu stated crab or shrimp papaya salad so I chose shrimp and they charged me an additional $1.04 on top of $10.99 even though the price online was $7.99. It was too pungent and not enough papaya. Why. The nam Khao was $7.99 online but I was charged $10.99. It was so bland. Served with ham not the traditional fermented pork sausage...so awful I took a few bites and that was enough.I mentioned the price difference to the cashier but she seemed too confused and I was too hungry. But that is over $11 overcharge. And she wanted a tip too!Owners please update your website/menu online you are violating pricing laws.
Great Phad Thai. However, their deep fried tuna looks like mackerel. They said that it’s mackerel tuna and that’s what they call tuna. That should be specified or have a picture of it on their menu.
It's always a pleasure to dine here. I've had a chance to try many of the dishes here and the authenticity and quality of the Lao/Thai cuisine is excellent. The waitresses are always friendly and helpful even during busy days and this place is PACKED by lunch hour. Meal portions are typically larger than average as I've found a single dish can sometimes feed two.One thing to be aware of is food prep time can be a while as all orders are made fresh, but is well worth the wait ? take-out orders available in person and by phone
Authentic food for a Thai guy like me. My preference would be between a mild and a medium. Already has a line by noon on Saturday. Clean setting.Staff wear masks.
Glad I tried this place. Plenty of delicious dishes for Southeastern Asian food lovers. Good portions and service too.
Not fancy, but legit low cost Mexican food. Very busy place with high turnover so food is fresh. Salsa bar is great. The spicy green one is my favorite!
This unpretentious small strip mall is just that. I didn't realize this is known to serve up the best authentic Lao and Thai food in the orange county area. The food is fresh, full of flavor and the wait is not long for service. We shared the fish cakes, spicy Lao style papaya salad, rad nah w/chicken, steak salad (nam tok), and a bowl of kapoon noodles with fish & intestine (my least favorite).I even bought a fried Ted pepper snack with sesame seeds. It's crunchy goodness.Stop by because it's good stuff!
Had high hopes for this place based off other reviews but it was just okay. The Green Curry was way too salty, which Ive never encountered before with a curry elsewhere. The Papaya Salad was pretty good but extremely overpriced. Ran out of Lao Sausage. Other Lao/Thai places in the area are better.
Our family has eaten here and ordered to go many times. Excellent service and authentic Lao food. If you have only tried Vietnamese and Thai food, Lao food is more flavorful and intense. We have tried Beef Jerky, Lao Sausage, Larb Minced Beef Salad, Lao Papaya Salad, Crying Tiger and Crispy Fried Rice. I highly recommend Crispy Fried Rice which includes nem (cured pork with sour taste) fried chili, crispy fried rice eaten with lettuces, Beef Jerky with chili sauce or Crying Tiger with hot and sour sauce, and Lao Papaya Salad (imo better than Thai Papaya) which includes sweet small blue crab to balance out the salty sour flavors. The Lao Sausage was alright. The only dish we couldn't eat was Larb Minced Beef because it was very salty. I think only native Lao people can eat this dish. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.
I will be back to try other yummy dishes. My belly was in heavenly bliss.Here is what I ordered:Papaya salad jungle style (strong shrimp paste flavor)Lao sausagesPad see ewLemon fish (trout)Stirred fried watercressThai crepes with condensed milkThey were all delicious but the Thai crepes stood out. I originally wanted the mango with sticky rice, but they ran out. So I had the Thai crepes. Heavenly. I haven't had a dessert like this in ages. If that was my last bite, I could die happy.
