Laos Kitchen

Great place - owned by the same family who operated the wonderful Thailand restaurant locations in Mill Valley and Novato, both since closed. The only place I’ve seen to have their house-made spicy sweet sauce that accompanies the barbecue plates. Worth noting - Do not skip their Thai iced tea, it’s the real deal.

I like it a lot.

Great taste. . Big portion with reasonable price.

“Exceptional food and ambiance! Generous portions at reasonable prices left us pleasantly surprised with a bill under $70, inclusive of drinks, soup, appetizers, entrees, and dessert for two. The swift and friendly service added to the overall great experience. Highly recommend this hidden gem in San Rafael, where the perfect blend of Thai and Vietnamese flavors comes with a unique twist. We even had enough leftovers for a delightful lunch the next day.” Parking: Downtown San Rafael… it is what it is but I love the central location

Food was great. Service was lacking. I think all the 5 star ratings cause the service to suffer. I'll be back though because of the food.

Delicious food and super friendly staff! Portions are large enough to share with another person, so definitely a good thing when you're trying to sample various options. I would consider it to be family friendly, though note that there is no changing table in the morning restrooms. Fast and efficient service, now I just wish I could go there every day for lunch! Parking: The city is very aggressive with their parking so definitely pay, pay, pay! The parking garage is generally cheaper Kid-friendliness: Big clean bathrooms though no changing tables.

The food was good but the service was not good. When we got seated menus got thrown on the table then the lady walked away. Then took roughly 15 min for them to get back to us to take our order. A male waitress was kind and helping out he was appreciated very much. Then for dessert we got 2 mango sticky rice on the receipt one was free because of a birthday, which was appreciated. But I noticed they still charged us for 2 mango sticky rice and the lady tried to lie to my face saying they were only charging for one while pointing at the price that had 0.00$. I was not having it , it clearly said mango sticky rice 2 @ 9 each total 18$. Then mango sticky rice 0.00 for the birthday one. Then the lady looks at her male co worker and complains to him why he would give us a free mango sticky rice and he just made a face like he was embarrassed of her for her rudeness. I gave a low tip because of that and a low review but I shouldn’t have tipped at all for her disrespect, greed , and rudeness. She definitely needs to work on her customer service.
