Authenticity is the key in the offerings from this restaurant, using the space from and old ethnic grocery store, the owners serves Laotian food that are home made. tried their mokpla, papaya salad, sausages, pork, sweet rice....all are properly done and perfectly seasoned.
Excellent, family-owned Lao restaurant nestled in San Pablo. The food is great across the board and the service is top-notch. Don’t come expecting premium ambiance, but if looking for solid Lao food (been to Laos and my fiancée worked in Laos for a year) definitely recommend giving this place a try.
My only issue with this place, it may be small to some people, but charging us for a bottle of water vs just serving us a cup of water, really cheap of them. The food is good. The bathroom is clean. It’s wheelchair accessible.
Parking: Small parking lot behind restaurant & street parking in residential area.
Super authentic selection of noodle soups. Kow soy ground pork with chow fun noodle packs a strong umami depth of flavor, served with fermented fish paste (similar to Cambodian prahok) for an even deeper funk. Famous for it’s papaya salad. Well-frequented by Laotian people, always a good sign.
Best Lao Food in the Bay Area for sure. Love the chicken Larb and Papaya salad reasonable price. Will definitely be returning there for sure.
Worst papaya salad I've ever tried i have no idea what are all the good reviews and I'm pretty sure i was overcharged for some papaya salad and a little bit of sticky rice
Oh my God everything was fresh, and tasted just like mom and dad made it , highly highly recommend.
