This place is really good! Loved the fat little spicy sausages, the Lao salad, the crying tiger beef, the Mok fish and the heavenly jerky. So flavorful!!

Went for a quick bite on a whim and I’m glad I did. Had the Tuna Laap and it was phenomenal and fresh. Flavor combo was a hit. 11/10 will be back.

Hands down the best authentic Lao food. Tastes just like homemade! Definitely worth our 30 minute commute. If you haven’t tried it you are missing out!
