Went here for a weekend brunch, it was fine…read more I had the spinach & feta omelet, it was good but I do wish there were more options for sides. I like to ask staff opinions on dishes & narrowed it down to three, I noticed that our waitress recommended the most expensive one & she said it was really good, when I asked her about what she liked the most about it she told me she herself hadn't tried it. My friend did like her chicken & waffles dish! Our table had some very noticeable crumbs on it upon being seated. And our glasses did go empty, they weren't very busy. Overall it was fine, maybe it was just an off day. Both the waitress & hostess were very kind.

They were a regular stop in our family's restaurant rotations for several years. A few months ago, a couple of visits were disappointing because of slow service so we stopped going. Last week, I wanted to go again because there is one appetizer of theirs I adore and I missed it. My husband and I went for lunch on a Sunday, and they were fairly busy, as usual. We ordered, then waited. Then we waited some more. We waited long enough that I noticed a couple of families who were seated after us not only had been served their food but were nearly finished eating! We had not seen our server for awhile, either, so I asked the hostess if there was a manager on the premises. She said there was, but the manager was helping bring food out of the kitchen. Another 5-10 minutes passed and our food was brought out by the restaurant manager. She said 'the kitchen got backed up'. I asked if perhaps our order was not put it after we ordered. She said 'no, I guarantee that isn't what happened, we just got busy.' It sounded more like she was being defensive rather than offering an apology for our long wait. This restaurant has been busy every time we have been there, so are they recently short-staffed? I doubt that the kitchen just happened to 'back up' several random times in a row when we happened to visit. Disappointing. It's too bad because they used to be better.

Solid place for authentic Laos food. Highly recommend if you're missing the taste of Laos food…read more It's not your normal restaurant. They don't ask you about a drink. You just get it from their fridge. I liked their beef larb. Level 4 was pretty spicy. We got it cooked. The Laos sausage was good but tasted like the ones you can buy yourself and cook. Their nam Khao had very good flavor. My only critique is that it could be even crispier and it would be perfect. Their Khao poon is okay not bad. I like my mother in laws better. Khao piek had good hearty broth flavor. Overall would come back if in the area! Their ambiance is a restaurant combined with a market you can get some pantry or frozen foods.

My husband and I stopped at Luang Prabang Market before our flight home, and wow, this place is a…read moretrue hidden gem. It's tucked away and attached to a small Lao grocery store, which honestly made it feel even more authentic. The moment we walked in, it felt like we were about to get a home-cooked meal. We ordered the organ soup with sticky rice, beef lahp, and nam khao, and everything was absolutely delicious. The broth in the organ soup was rich, clean, and deeply flavorful, exactly how it's supposed to taste. The sticky rice came out warm and perfectly chewy. The beef lahp was bright and herbaceous with the right amount of spice and lime, super fresh, and tasted just like what we've had in Laos/at family gatherings. And the nam khao was crispy, tangy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they don't cut corners on ingredients here. What I appreciated most is the authenticity. A lot of other reviewers mentioned that this is one of the few places in Texas where the food tastes "just like home," and I completely agree. Multiple people also mentioned the friendly staff and how the market side carries essentials and hard-to-find Lao/Thai items. We felt the same way, everyone was kind, and the grocery section is a nice bonus for anyone looking for snacks or specialty ingredients. Portions were solid, prices were fair, and the quality was amazing. This is exactly the kind of spot you hope to find when traveling. If you want real Lao food, skip the trendy places and come here instead. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Texas. Highly, highly recommend.

I got off work late and had a hankering for drunken noodles. Not wanting to show up right before…read moreclosing, I hopped on Yelp to find somewhere open after 9 and found Zaap. It is in Glade Parks and is a cute little shop by the movie theater. It was easy to order online, and was ready when I showed up. They were still doing big business at 8:30, but the restaurant was clean and tidy. I picked up my take out and boogied on home. I got the beef drunken noodles and the take out container was full. The veggies were really good and still had a bite, the noodles were torn and shaggy, but cooked perfectly. However it wasn't my favorite. It wasn't bad, but I thought it BERY sweet. Sweeter than I prefer. And the beef was ground beef, which I thought strange. I won't be ordering this again, but I may come back to try out some of their Lao dishes.

I've ordered the drunken noodle (Pad Kee Mao) several times now and the flavor is great. The only…read moreissue is the saltiness (and price) which they were accommodating with. I just have to keep reducing sauce but the flavor is one of the best I've had for drunken noodle. Their flat wide noodle texture is also just right- not too soft/soggy, chewy without tough. (I don't know if you've been to other Thai restaurants that have soggy noodles that are thin instead of wide, but this wide is way better!) Keep in mind their PKM is made with minced meat whatever you choose. Love the basil flavors. Restaurant is your typical comfortable and decorative.

We also ordered the Otai beverage which was refreshing and delicious, but very very sweet. The chicken katsu tasted and looked like what it was supposed to be. The Poke obviously wasn't fresh, but it definitely had flavor. The spam musubi was flavorful and delicious. The teri beef bowl was ok. The bbq chicken was delicious as well, but they kind of burnt the sauce or marinate so it kind of took away the traditional taste of a local bbq chicken plate. The kalbi was flavorful, but overcooked to the point that the meat was pretty tough like jerky. Each plate came with mac salad and a small salad. Overall, a bit pricier than other Texas restaurants. Staff are pretty friendly and they make your food when you order so it was fresh. There are only four dining tables with limited seating. Ample parking spaces.
