| - Hole-in-the-wall place that will satisfy your Lao food cravings! Trust me on this because I'm from Laos. Hubby isn't Lao, but he loves Lao food. So of course he tagged along when I went to check out this place.
We went with the the staple for our maiden voyage - sticky rice, papaya salad, and beef jerky. Sticky rice was cooked perfectly- not too sticky and not too mushy. Papaya salad wasn't acidic enough for me. I like it WAAAY acidic though. Just a personal preference. "B" (our waitress & cook) kindly fixed it for me. Very much appreciated. Beef Jerky was well seasoned.
We went back for more of the staple on subsequent trips and have also tried nem khao, beef larb, sandwich, and sticky rice with bananas. All good. So many more things to try. We will eventually make it through the menu.
As others have mentioned & pictures show, this place is primarily a grocery store that happens to serve food. There are a few tables & chairs in the middle of the store. So if you are looking for an upscale place to dine or a certain ambiance to impress a date, this isn't it. But, if you are looking for Lao comfort food in a no frills setting, this is for you.
Hopefully, y'all will go check it out and keep them in business!
