I was craving an authentic Lao meal, and I knew this was the perfect place to satisfy it. The sticky rice was perfectly cooked, the lemongrass beef packed just the right amount of spice, and the papaya salad was bursting with bold, umami flavors. Did I mention their crab Rangoon is also worth a try? And don't forget pork belly banh mi! Sitting at the bar made the experience even better. Watching the chefs work their magic was fascinating. They move with incredible speed and turning every dish into a flavorful masterpiece. I am very impressed. Highly recommend

Seeing the wealth of interesting appetizer and entrée options, it was hard to pick, so we chose a couple different appetizers and entrées to share. The Tiger cry, beef appetizer was phenomenal, especially with the dipping sauce. We got an appetizer portion of the brisket phad Thai. So good that I would want to get a full entrée size of this. The Mussaman had super tasty curry and the meat was seasoned very well. I had 1-2 pieces that seemed overcooked, but the rest was super tender. The only dish that we didn't care for was the Pineapple rib fried rice, really just because of the rice part. Not a lot of flavor and had more of a cooked feel to it than true fried rice. I'm not sure we even saw any traces of egg in it. The ribs were super tender and flavorful tho, which made us feel better about ordering, but we wouldn't get it again unless the ribs can be paired with something else or they improve their fried rice. Overall a very pleasant experience. Thank you for great food and friendly service.

The flavors were good and the seasoning on the meat and dipping sauces stood out. The mango drink was refreshing and the appetizers like the wontons and shrimp were tasty. That said, the portions felt small for the price and it added up quickly. It is a lot of work to keep the grill going and cook everything, which makes it more of a novelty than a place I would visit regularly. Our server lingered at the table quite a bit which made things slightly awkward instead of relaxed. Overall, I would go back if someone really wanted to try it for a special occasion or for the experience, but it is not something I would make part of my everyday dining rotation.

We have tried quite a few dishes and so far all were packed with a lot of flavor!! The egg rolls - super crispy, fried right and delicious. The salt and pepper fish - this one is by far my favorite dish out of all. They had a wonderful crispy coating and were tossed with fresh peppers and the right amount of seasoning. The treasures chicken, beef and shrimp hot pot was hearty and so comforting with tender meat and tasty broth. The Mongolian beef, chicken, and shrimp - was really well-made as well with tender pieces of meat and savory sauce and all these three dishes above married well with the hot, steamed rice that they served with it. I also tried the seafood noodle dish with the white sauce, which had shrimp, fish, mushroom, vegetable noodles, and egg.This one was pretty unique and one of the highlights. It was gooey chewy and all the ingredients tasted well together in a light savory white sauce. This particular one was so comforting that I kept going back to this one for another bite. I love that this restaurant has a lot more dishes to offer and that their portion sizes are huge. The pricing is very reasonable as per the portions with most of the entrees in the range of $16 - $18 with seafood costing a little more. The service has always been very friendly but be sure to dine in way before closing time or the staff might tell you to take a to-go 30-45 mins before closing. Otherwise the restaurant has a very casual relaxed feel to enjoy with family and friends. I still have so much left to try but based on everything I've had so far I definitely recommend Hong Kong star to all Chinese food lovers!!
