“ First meal upon touchdown I loved it! the lemongrass beef jerky is in a class of its own. I didn’t get to try the bao but it looked so good. The WINGS chile. I’d go back just for the wings. The ribs were okay, I don’t think I need to have them again. Same for the dessert. The drink selection is very impressive and I even got to keep this nice glass. I’ll be back! ”
“ I wish I found this place sooner before my trip ended to try more dishes. The food and service here was amazing! The music played was great as well. I will be back when I visit Orlando again! ”
“ This place is located on little Vietnam/ a whole street of asain related resturants and shops (so recommended touring dessert/boba shops after this one). I ordered the lemongrass beef jerky, and man it was tasty- 9/10. My Entree was coconut curry ramen which had shrimp in it, was good but not hot enough temperature wise.. I felt like I needed to add some kind of sauce also but there wasn't any- 6/10. Then for dessert I had the purple sticky rice with mango- 8/10 (for healthy dessert/ asain food lovers). Overall the vibe of the restaurant took me to overseas inner city. Definitely would come back for the lemongrass beef jerky! And to try different things on the menu. :) was a fun experience! ”
“ One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a while. We had the Pork Belly Laab and Chicken Bao Buns, which were terrific! However, the meal really shined after we ordered dessert. We had purple sticky rice with mango, which was probably one of the more interesting—and I mean that in the best, most delicious possible sense—dishes I’ve had in ages. The pandan waffle with coconut gelato was also incredible. ”
“ One of my favorite meals of the year. Everything I ordered was a hit. I felt lucky to have Laotian food executed at this level. In two words: pungent and chewy. And the food was unmistakably Southeast Asian. The pork tapioca dumplings had the chewy texture of great boba with a slightly sweet pork filling and a lot of fried garlic on top. It reminded me of one of my favorite breakfast dishes I had growing up, though our version used jicama instead of pork. Dishes that evoke memories tend to be our favorites. The lemongrass beef jerky was soft and, again, chewy in a way that’s like the midpoint of American jerky and velveted beef. Lots of lemongrass as advertised in the name. Perfect amount of salt that lets the meat release flavors and juices with each bite. I’m salivating thinking about it. The larb’s flavor profile is similar to the Thai version with lots of onion, scallion, cilantro, lime, and toasted rice. This one was served with sticky rice, the soul of Lao food. The pork belly was boiled for less time compared to other cuisines so it remains chewy instead of meltingly soft. Everything was so affordable. I was pleasantly surprised at how much food I got for the price. And the flavors are much better than you’d find at many fancy restaurants. Strong recommend. ”
“ The food was delicious. Everything came out quickly, nice and fresh and hot. I just wish they had some more options on their menu and some drinking options. Cant wait to go back . Those pork dumplings are amazing !!! ”
“ This Lao restaurant is amazing! The food, like the papaya salad and larb, is full of fresh, tasty flavors. Every dish looks great, and the staff is really nice. The cozy setting makes it a perfect spot to eat. I highly recommend it! Five stars! ”
“ I tried this restaurant Monday night and it was amazing, truth to be told. I didn't know much about Laos food and now I am beginning to understand it. it's a great introduction to a culture that's little known about. the stuff was amazing. the gentleman that took care of me genuinely gave me his ear and obviously made the perfect suggestion as an introduction to their restaurant. it's a mom and pop operation and obviously they shine above the rest. they know their food very well and they know how to serve it. the atmosphere rather relaxed and positive vibe throughout. The setting what you would expect. downright home street food like, to me it felt like I was somewhere in Asia sitting with complete strangers sharing the tables. and it felt exactly like when I went into Thailand and they had these wonderful tables for sharing where you can sit and eat with a complete stranger. it's a wonderful experience. the food was stunning and the place overall is small. and that's what attracts me to these places, it felt right. this is the kind of place where it's a great place to eat and hang out with friends or a complete stranger. you'll be amazed to know that it is not the ordinary, but the extraordinary. kudos to the management and the owners for they have done something I truly exceptional. I had what they call a laab with steak and rice and let me tell you it is not something you would normally get anywhere and everywhere, again, they are an exception to the rule. go there. stop reading, and just get there. and enjoy it! ”
