| - I'm impressed with the service I received. its a rarity for me to experienced great service at an Asian business. Spoke to a pleasant gentleman on the phone. Inquiring for their hours of operations and curious about what type of Laos hot food they had ready made. Couple hours later as I entered the store I was greeted "hello, welcome". by a gentleman at the register. The store is small had good selections of frozen meats/ fish/exotic bugs. Some of their vegetables are fresh and others are wilted. Ready made dipping sauces $6 a container. The two sweet lady working behind the hot deli section, what a gem, they are informative with my many questions. She recommend Laos beef/ beef balls/rice noodle soup, it was hot flavorful, salty/sweet /beefy . Dinning table lined with green plastic cover with utensils and varied selections of condiments salt,pepper, 4 different type of chilies pickled, fresh, in oil & dried and the usual soy sauce, fish sauce, hoisin sauce. On the menu it had two different type of papaya salad Laos or Thai. Thai papaya I was told are sweet made with fish sauce, salty crab, peanuts. We opted for Laos papaya made with pahdek a fermented fish ( anchovies) with a pungent smell, its sweet, salty, sour with each bite of crunch of the fresh shredded papaya/longbean goodness . FYI make sure to mention your preferred level of spicy. I ordered to go larb beef, a choice of raw or cooked beef salad. The cooked beef salad were delicious, enhance flavors with variety of herbs , cilantro, lemongrass, basil, mint, rice powder a hint of citrus juice. My dad mention the beef salad was good.
On my next trip to Las Vegas I will stop in again to try their ready made desserts and other selections I haven't yet tried.
