    Lao style Papaya Salad
    Junelle F.

    We came here on a Sunday to try some Lao food. They also have an extensive drink menu ( boba teas). We ordered 4 dishes: Papaya Salad ( Lao style) which was very salty, Lao sausage, Grilled chicken which tasted old, Laab which ended up being sold out. Not sure if this was an off day since they had good reviews but service was awful. Our food seriously took 50 minutes, almost an hour. Then they told me they sold out of Laab when they served us the food at the table. They didn't even offer water. It was unfortunate. People before me were waiting a long time for their food. Overall, food was 7 out of 10 and service was 0/10.

    Pandan Coco Mochi. Has fried coconut flakes inside. Actually really good and savory

    Visited the Cocomilk Cafe with a friend. First time visiting this spot and it is tucked away in a little plaza. The space is clean and well kept. It was nice and bright inside and decorated. They have a cool gashapon machine with several anime characters, like Pokemon, Hello Kitty, and Demon Slayer. Although it was sort of expensive, 15 bucks worth of coins which you can exchange at the cashier. They have it prepared in a cup for you, which is nice. The food came pretty quick and the food was simple and good. Nothing fancy. Just good and feels homemade. I got the grilled chicken platter and my friend got the heavenly beef with a side of the pandan coco mochi. The chicken was juicy and good and it was covered in a sweet sauce. My friend liked the heavenly beef. It wasn't dry. Each dish came with veggies, rice, and a small cup of like nuoc nam, which is sweet fish sauce with peppers. The pandan coco mochi was especially good. It had fried coconut flakes inside and tasted sweet and savory. Definitely a must try. They have way more desserts that I would come back for. Overall, this place was good and the food felt homey. The service was good too and the people are very nice and will answer your questions if you had any while ordering

    Crispy Belly& Laab
    Oliver L.

    I had the crispy belly and I really haven't had good crispy belly and rice like that in a long time! Perfect crunch, flavor and tenderness. My wife had the khaopoon and said it was good but the broth was a little thick for her liking. Sister in law had the Laab like she's had before and no complaints! Delicious, place was clean and bright. Would definitely come back next time I'm around!

    Cocomilk has cute desserts, and a variety of drinks. Located in a strip mall with ample parking. Great variety of food, desserts, and drinks at decent prices! I tried the Layers Dessert which came in a cute little box! Pretty good! It reminded me of the Vietnamese desserts but these were even prettier! Taste was as expected, and has a tapioca like chewy texture to it. And not too sweet. The laab was good too and came with sticky rice! The strawberry coco drink was fine, and also as anticipated! Service was nice and normal. Overall, nice to try if you're in the area!

    Thai curry and Lao style papaya Salad

    ABSOLUTE MUST-VISIT: Coco Milk Cafe If you love real flavor, bold spice, and soul-hugging desserts, Coco Milk Cafe is IT. I started with the Pandan Dream drink creamy, fragrant, and perfectly balanced. Then came the Thai tea boba, rich and smooth with that deep tea flavor that hits just right. Now let's talk FOOD. I ordered the Thai curry EXTRA spicy (because yes, I love spice), and wow... they nailed it. Not fake heat. Not bland "spicy." It was perfectly good and spicy flavorful, warming, and deeply satisfying. My friend had the Lao-style papaya salad, which is her all-time favorite, and she LOVED it. Fresh, tangy, punchy, and done exactly the way it should be. To finish, we had the warm coco boba, and honestly... it filled our soul . Comfort in a cup. I also tried the pandan coco mochi, soft and dreamy--and the sweetest surprise? The person working behind the counter gave us extra. That alone tells you everything about the vibe here. Service deserves a shout-out: The workers were fast, efficient, and genuinely friendly. No attitude, no long waits, just good energy and care. This is one of those places where: * the flavors are bold * the spice is REAL * the desserts feel like a warm hug * and you leave already planning your next visit Coco Milk Cafe isn't just food--it's an experience. Go hungry. Go happy. Go NOW

    The service and atmosphere was great. Quick ordering, food came out fairly fast, the music and feel of the place is enjoyable. The food was okay, we got the Nam Khao, egg rolls, Heavenly Beef, and Steak Laab which actually turned out to be chicken so that was a bit disappointing. They got my order wrong. The Jeow Bong is decent, a little sweet for me, and the 3 pepper I thought could've been spicier. Their drinks however are really good, we got the Strawberry Gem, Honey Dew Smoothy, Pandan Dream, and Coco Matcha. The Pandan Dream and Honey Dew was definitely my favorites and I don't really drink Boba nor Smoothies.

    Such good food. We tried it catered at a party and the platters were very substantial and everything was so flavorful and delicious!! Already tried the kuih, which are these little coconut milk jello cakes and they were so pretty and so good!!

    Fun place full of toys and colorful decor! Mango sticky rice with different color blocks of rice is delicious! We also ordered mini waffles with Nutella. They are kinda rubbery, especially if you don't eat them right away. The bahn mi bun is pretty good, but you only get one per order. Each time we've gone, there was no wait but the staff works slow. Also, some were eating behind the counter. Sanitary no-no.

    Lemongrass beef

    This has become my family's latest go to restaurant. We're fans of the food and desserts. On our first visit, we got the crispy pork belly, grilled steak and steak laab for our entrees. The pork belly was deep fried to perfection, crispy on the outisde with the meat staying tender. I've never had laab before so it was a refreshing new dish for me. It was citrusy with some tang from the onions and little kick from the spicy pepper. After our meal, we ordered the mochi waffle and sticky rice for dessert. The mochi waffle was crunchy with bits of fresh coconut on the inside. The sticky rice was exactly how I liked it especially since the mango was nice and ripe. On my second visit, I got the mochi layers, coco taro cups and strawberry gems. The desserts with great but the drink not so much. It was too sweet and I wasn't a fan of all the toppings. Our family was in town which was an excuse to order almost everything on the menu. We got the pork tapioca, khao piak, laab chicken & steak, grilled chicken & beef, lao sausage and crispy belly. Every dish was a hit, with the standouts being the lao sausage, pork tapioca and khao piak. I'm glad my family is adventurous because I wouldn't have ordered those items. We finished up our meal with the mochi waffle. Cocomilk is located in South Sacramento in a strip mall away from the main section of Little Vietnam. We've never had parking issues. Service has always been very friendly and efficient. You order at the counter and the staff will bring it to you if you're dining in or they'll package it up in these cute bags for to go items.

    Noodles

    Food was so flavorful! My daughter ordered the noodles, I ordered the sausage and the basil, and everything was delicious! Must come give it a try!

    Coco Gems
    Jaane F.

    We are here for lunch. The shop opened early, which is convenient. We ordered some of their lunch meals and desserts. We feel that their lunch meal is okay only--not to our liking. We did like their mochi layers and gem coco drink. Both were good, and we definitely will get back more of their desserts. The parking here is plenty. The staff here are friendly.

    My husband and I were looking for dessert to try and we found this place across the street from where we were dining. We decided to get the Mochi layers and mango sticky rice. Both dishes were good! The mochi layers remind me of a Filipino dessert I eat that has coconut milk and tapioca pearls. The mango rice came with different flavored rice and was also really good.

    KC C.

    Such a great place to pick up food and drinks. I tried the green matcha tea and mango rice. The service was great however I ordered 3 of the mango rice and waited about 30m for it. The ambiance and vibe was very inviting and warm. The rest of the food menu looked really good. I'll have to stop by and try their other stuff.

The woman at the front who took my order was very nice. I've dined in before and the tables are fully set up with all the necessary condiments, but today I just needed to get home and hope the food could do its thing. I ordered the pho gai, which is lighter and cleaner than the typical Vietnamese beef pho. The broth has a slightly fermented, deeply umami flavor, probably from fish sauce, along with lemongrass, chicken broth, chicken breast, and ginger. Perfect when you're stuck with a cold. It was packaged really well with chili oil, jalapeños, celery, lime, and the noodles on the side. There isn't a ton of chicken if you're looking for high protein, but I didn't care. It was so good and soothing. Nothing like sweating over a bowl of herbal soup while sick. I also ordered the Lao sausage, which has a great blend of aromatics, especially lemongrass. It comes with a sauce I'm not totally familiar with, but it's bright and limey, likely fish-sauce based, with something like charred pepper or tomato that almost reminds me of a Mexican salsa. So good. This place is awesome. I've only ever gotten soups here, but I definitely need to branch out and try more of the menu. Prices are very fair too. The soup alone was just under 1.5 liters so great bang for your buck.

We also ordered the Tum Luang Pra Bang, green papaya salad with fermented fish sauce. I will say, the execution and the quality of ingredients were superb, I personally couldn't get past the flavor, but my mom, a stronger SEA woman, loved it! The staff was very nice and polite. The ambiance was very cute, gave cafe/small restaurant vibes. I have been in the area for awhile and this place has been a revolving door of restaurants. I hope this one sticks!

It is also small inside the restaurant, but that adds to the comforting feeling it gives off. My favorite item on the menu is the drunken noodles with chicken, and I usually pick 3 out of 5 for my spice level. I like that they allow you to choose how spicy you want your food because they are considerate of all spice tolerance levels. If I'm not ordering the drunken noodles, I'm getting the Pad Thai with chicken! I usually place orders over the phone as I tend to get KB's with my family, and they prepare the order so quickly. From my sister's house to the restaurant, it's about 6-7 minutes. After placing my order, it's usually done in 10-15 minutes which is really fast for 3-4 items at a time! Whether you're in the mood for eating out or ordering for pickup, KB's Thai Hut is a great choice for Thai food! I've been coming here consistently for a few years and they do not disappoint! I'd definitely recommend the drunken noodles with chicken and their Lao style papaya salad!
