I've had a really mixed experience with Lao Laan Xang.
First, they took over my favorite place of all time: Savory Times (holla!)
But then I was seduced by the crab rangoon and shrimp toasties. It was incredible. They were puffy.
My optimism was dashed when they refused to put me on the list, only to seat another couple who had just come in.
We went into a deep spiral when I waited more than twenty minutes for the waiter to take my order. And still deeper when the waiter used my table to hold dishes he was giving to someone else. ???? That's bad....
Every time, I go back for the great curries and those rangoons, but most of the time I regret it.
I'm not really a fan of turbulent relationships, so I'll have to put this place off to the side. Sorry Lao Lan Xang, your service really has to kick it up.
