There are so many options and they have dishes they are not often available at other Laotian restaurants! The dining area is big, clean, and the decor is very pretty! I will definitely be back! ### ilovegoodfood — 4.3/5 · Jun 7, 2025 Spicy levels here are no joke! I ordered my salad mild spicy and it came out incredibly spicy that I could not eat it. The server was kind to offer to remake that dish for me 😅 Drunken noodles were good, but it was kinda oily. I think I will have to ask for less oil next time. ### ilovegoodfood — 3.3/5 · Jul 10, 2025 I order pad thai with chicken and crab fried rice. The pad thai noodles were overcooked so when I mixed it up with the bean sprouts and lime, the noodles broke into pieces. Crab fried rice was pretty dry and there were many crab shell pieces mixed in the rice, so you have to be careful when you eat. The portion wasn’t that big either. Price is kinda pricey compared to the other Lao restaurant on the same street near the I15. Both dish flavor was decent, but it’s not enough for me to come back. ### sammyyyyymac — 5.0/5 · Aug 23, 2025 loooooooove that this new Lao spot opened up and they stay true to their flavors and methods. can definitely tell they do not take shortcuts in their recipes ### alyssaeats — 5.0/5 · Jan 1, 2026 Husband and I loved their papaya salad! The Lao sausage was good, but I personally wish it was more herby. The Lao beef was a little overdone to our liking. Overall, we’ll be back to try their other items. ### hi.joanieee — 5.0/5 · Jan 31, 2025 New Lao Food Spot in San Diego!! Everything was GREAT in portion and super tasty!
