Snackboxe Bistro

Can I just say. Everything was DELICIOUS!!??? Where have you been all my life? I have found a new favorite place to go get my fix 😍 please open in Duluth soon!!! The food came out in a timely manner, the waitress was really sweet and attentive. The portions were reasonable. I really wanted to order more but I contained myself 😅 I’ll be ordering down the menu and recommending to everyone I know. Thank you for the delicious food and service!

WOW! This place is just PHENOMENAL! My boyfriend and I visited from Charlotte and decided to try this place. Yeah we came back a good 2 times after the first time in a span of 3 days because they are that good!!! My boyfriend is part Laos so he teaches me the good stuff. The chicken lap (aka larb) was AMAZING! Medium spice is the perfect spice if you don’t like it too spicy but like a little heat. The cucumber salad was TO DIE FOR. I mean it’s SO good, my boyfriend said it tastes like his grandmas. The steak was SO SO SO SO good with the sauce it comes with oh my gosh. SO good. The pork is cooked perfectly. So crispy, but soft and flavorful once you take a bite. It pairs perfect with the cucumber salad and the sticky rice (also cooked to perfection). As you can see by the picture we ordered A LOT and everything was absolutely amazing. The service was great every single time we came. The food comes out very quickly and the atmosphere is really great. Overall this place is in my top 3 favorite restaurants ever… and it ain’t 2 or 3. SO SO GOOD! Highly highly recommend this place. I wish they had one in Charlotte! Highly recommend!!!!!

Purely food based review: Rice cakes - Forgot what they're called but pretty good dish with the sauce they provide. It's crispy but soft on the inside. Lemongrass Ribs - flavor pretty good but too burnt sides for my tastes. Chicken wings - their housemade wings are really big portions and flavor is really sweet and crispy Overall great place to try some Laos street food!

The two of us went at 8:00 pm on a Friday night. We were seated right away. Liz was our waitress and the cashier and she was great. The food came out so quickly! Here’s what we got: - Squid on a Stick ($8): The breading was so well-seasoned and nicely fried. Good, but I don’t feel the need to get it again. - Jeow Bong Wings ($10): Good! Comes with a lot! The skin was so crispy and perfect. - Steak Special ($14): We really didn’t understand the hype. Average. Wouldn’t get again. You can’t beat the prices. We do plan on going back, but we’d try other things. We saw a lot of people get the noodle soups and laap, so we’d go with that next time.

I've gone three times now, and I seriously love the food. I'm not Laotian, so I can't speak on authenticity, but I'm Vietnamese and had Cambodian family friends growing up. This hits my Cambodian food craving perfectly. I always get the papaya salad with the steak special and a side of sticky rice. I eat the steak and papaya together for increased flavor. My boyfriend tried the kua mee (spelling?), and we also loved that. I've also had the pork belly banh mi, but I do prefer the Vietnamese variety. It's still delicious regardless. Their Thai tea also hits the spot perfectly to cool my mouth down from the spice. End with mango sticky rice, and have a food como when you get home. Update: still addicted to this place a year after discovering it! Very excited for the Duluth location opening and hopefully many more after
