I cannot sing the praises of the kao soy highly enough. I've been back to Rai Lay a dozen times since my first review, and every time I tell myself to branch out... and every time, the kao soy pulls me back in. Pro tip that I had to learn the hard way: don't wear white if you're gonna order it. It has wound up on my shirt and in my hair so many times that I now wear the "camouflage kao soy dress" when I go, and I bring a ponytail holder. I'd bring a bathing suit if there was a chance they'd let me dunk myself in it.
Service is still a little iffy (last night our waitress asked if we wanted dessert right after we asked for the check), my silverware had some schmutz on it, and seating is a little tight, but none of these things will deter me from my love.
