I would say that this place is the best Thai food in this area. The wait is really long during the weekends, took me almost 1 and a half hour to get in. But the the food made the waiting worth it. Recommend dishes are pad thai, papaya salad jungle style (It’s a must try dish as it is really special
The best Boat noodles I've had so far. Savory. Flavorful. Hearty. Chef's kiss 😚🤌🏾. The jungle papaya salad is delicious! Refreshing with a kick! Exotic taste and I love the spicy.
Amazingly bright flavors in the lao curry and the papaya salad. A perfect balance of acidity, freshness, and umami. The stir fry noodles (I think it was the rad na) were good by itself but when the other two dishes came out, this one seemed dull in comparison.
Food: 9/10
Service: 8/10

We were in Santa Ana/Westminster shopping/preparing for Chinese New Year and got hungry!!! Hadn’t eaten…wanted a quick bite that was not Chinese/Vietnamese and we accidentally came across this restaurant!! We were skeptical at first. Place was quiet and small not our usual loud Chinese/Vietnamese r
Been looking for authentic Lao food. This place is pretty close! We got the sausage, lao papaya spicy, larb, and Kao Piak. Delicious took the leftovers home and ate good for another 2 days. Only thing was the guys wanted the papaya to be spicier and fishier.
Pretty decent Laos food. Their Laos sausages are really good along with all the other menu items I ordered.
Only issue I had was the fresh coconut didn’t taste too fresh, otherwise enjoyed this place & would recommend.
First time dining here and it was really delicious! The flavors was there!
When they ask you how bitter you want your Larp, you know you’re in for a good authentic treat. We ordered Khaopoon, Beef Larp, Jungle Papaya Salad, and Crispy fried rice. All dishes tasted great and none disappointed. It is a small restaurant with only 6 tables and gets pretty busy. Not an ideal pl
We normally do take out here due to the proximity of the location for our family. We wished we could eat in but we have to mostly grab-n-go. I will say, it is hands down one of the best Lao-Thai restaurants we've eaten at in LA-ish settings (Yes, I know. This is OC). It is our go to spot for raw laa
I will be back to try other yummy dishes. My belly was in heavenly bliss.
Here is what I ordered:
Papaya salad jungle style (strong shrimp paste flavor)
Lao sausages
Pad see ew
Lemon fish (trout)
Stirred fried watercress
Thai crepes with condensed milk
They were all delicious but the Thai crepes
Very good and yummy Lao & Thai food. I love their tom yum soup so much!! The line could be long on the weekend so plan your trip ahead. Overall 4/5. Definitely will come back!
I ordered many different menu items. I 10 out of 10 recommend this place to anyone looking for good cuisine. The service was also amazing. The waiters constantly cleared the table and brought out the food very quickly. They were so friendly and welcoming. Definitely will come back.
Stopped by for dinner. Had a short wait but was seated promptly. Ordered the boat noodles and Thai iced tea. Noodles had a kick that was slightly above my tolerance lol but was delicious nevertheless. Not quite what I remembered when I visited Bangkok but good enough. Plenty of parking.
This unpretentious small strip mall is just that. I didn't realize this is known to serve up the best authentic Lao and Thai food in the orange county area. The food is fresh, full of flavor and the wait is not long for service. We shared the fish cakes, spicy Lao style papaya salad, rad nah w/chick
I noticed they aren't very consistent with the food they put out. Previous experience was just okay, and last night's food was superb! They also stop accepting customers before posted closing time, which is okay, but there should be some sort of notice posted. If you're not there by 7:30pm, you migh
At this small little restaurant we had some of the best Laos food! Well worth going to when in Southern California. Lao sausage appetizer, Crispy fried rice with sour pork, and Deep Fried Catfish in basil coconut curry. All to die for. Price $ highly recommended for those of you that love authentic
Very good and AUTHENTIC Lao food. Tasted good and was flavorful. My only complaint was the laab pa thong was more eggplant than fish. They didn't have fried chicken wings, but had bbq thighs that was a little dry. Would definitely go again and try some of the other dishes next time I'm in Cali!
Absolutely delicious food here with great service. The team made sure we were well looked after and were very knowledgeable on the ingredients for each dish, also offering different levels of spice to choose from for the dishes with spice. Super impressed - top notch, authentic food! Highly recommen
