This was probably the high spot of my Las Vegas visit. You walk into a typical Asian market - but walk to the back of the store. You will see a small kitchen with a menu, a steam table with today's specials and a long table, set up family style. When we went, the table was half full.
We got papaya salad - they do 2 versions - Thai (sweeter and done with fish sauce) and Lao (less sweet and done with anchovy sauce). We also got the Nam Kao (a Lao fried rice - made from a fried rice ball) and the laab (or larb).
We got the laab extra spicy, since my spice loving brother was with us. He is a tall red-head and they kept asking "are you sure" - he was. Make it the way you would eat it he asked them. They did - and were amazed that he ate it all down with great joy! He had never had this dish before and it will be on his list.
The papaya salad was much more fishy than the Thai style - and I loved it! The fried rice is just such a different thing than any other fried rice that it is always a must eat for me.
The steam table had multiple soups, curries, and veggie dishes (alone with a couple of fish dishes) - I wish I had found this place at the beginning of my trip and I would have tried these. Next time for sure!
