I would recommend this place to eat for anyone who loves Asian food! Customer service is really good. I believe because of the pandemic they are limited on ingredients hence why the four star. Such as the papaya salad now is served with smaller portion from what I remember.

Just moved to the area and it was my pops birthday and he wanted some larb. This place is down the street so thought I’d check it out. The food and service was great! Feels good to support local small family business. Highly recommend for Lao food.

Great and affordable papaya salad, Lao sausages, and Khaopoon! Everything was great and taste delicious! Friendly customer service and it’s cool they’re it’s located in the one of those hole in the wall small markets! Not the best neighborhood but I love this unique store and it’s Lao food court!!! Yum, eat here!

Authentic Lao food. You can eat there or take it to-go. They also have a little market with Lao specialties. Some of my favorite dishes: Larb, Kao Piek, Pho, Lao Sausage, Chicken Wings, Sticky Rice & Gang Na Mai. Oh, and the Thai Iced Tea and Coffee are both good here. Its a small parking lot which it tough at times.

My bf and I always come here for their papaya salad, beef laab, braised pork, Lao sausages, rice, and a coffee and Thai tea. My bf likes their Kapoon as well. We have never been disappointed and their flavors and quality are always consistent. Customer service is always good and they are always polite.

Khaopoon was wayyy salty. Usually its very good. Perfectly made. But havent been there for almost 2 months. Its very salty now. Hopefully next time it wont be. It is one of my favorite khaopoon places. Sooo...well see next time. Raw beef laab, too much fish sauce. Not to my liking.Pad thai is good. Pho is ok. Sausage is a bit to sweet for my taste. Papaya is good, but portions are too little.

Great Laotion food hidden inside a supermarket. Supermarket portion is very limited but it was intended for the food. Great tasting food but it is kind of expensive compare to other places. Prices use to be great.

We been here so many times and have loved it. But today will be the last time. They gave us overdue soggy rice and soggy papaya salad. Smh I couldn’t even swallow the rice or the papaya. And it’s only $7 papaya and you don’t get much either & never complained. We are loyal customers but today the food services is so BAD if you ask me. Never coming back here. If you want customers!!! Serve them good food you want to be served as well not just bcuz ur lazy to make new rice or shave a new papaya for ur loyal customers.

Divey- hole in the wall place.This places serves the closest to authentic Lao & Thai food. The guys who wait tables are upbeat and friendly....may be salty for some.My sister found the Kapone noodle salty.But I cant argue because the backdrop of southeast Asian dishes have fishsauce.

In my opinion, they serve the best bowl of pho in the area. Its rich in flavor, so no need to add rooster/hoisin sauce. They keep each table clean and stocked with whatever you may want to add though. I hate going to places and having to steal hot oil from another table. You know what I mean. Lao sausage is good also. Add some fried meatballs, dipping sauce, and some sticky rice, a beer or 2 (or some Thai tea), and mmmm mmmmmmm!They have a couple screens to catch whatever game is on, like Cavs v. Celtics round 1 game right now.Lastly, the bathroom is also kept stocked and clean.
