    First time trying out this food truck located in the casino parking lot. We called in our order ahead of time and I'm glad I did because they get pretty busy. The ladies were super nice. We went on a Saturday and they have Kao Piek special soup of the day. We took them to go and enjoyed at home. We ordered a few things to try Lao sausage with sticky rice (its a must), Lao nam Khao(delicious), papaya salad and you can choose your own spice level, chicken wings (ask for super crispy). I want to go back already to try other things. They are also pretty generous with the serving size.

    Shrimp Salad

    Finally tried their Shrimp Salad. It might be the best salad I've ever had. The dressing was savory, citrusy, spicy with some sweetness. Omg. Would go great with some sticky rice.

    Pork Banh Mi
    Joseph M.

    This spot is a hidden gem in the AC area. IYKYK! This Lao/Thai fusion cuisine truck is hidden behind a casino. I ordered the pork Banh Mi which was only $7. The patte was crispy and I love the amount of veggies that they placed in the sandwich. Honestly my favorite Banh Mi in the area. Try it out if you like. :)

    Khao piek
    Angela B.

    Super solid for the area! And still as good as oc! Friendly service, two dishes ready within 10 min Maybe 3-4 lbs of food for $30!! Chicken pad thai 4.5/5 $15 Maybe not as good as the first time, but noodles weren't overcooked and dish full of flavor. I asked for medium spice and they sautéed it into the noodles, there is a slight burn. It also tastes delish with their spicy lemongrass chili oil. Def one of the better pad Thais I've had ! One portion is def 3 or so servings. Khao piek $14 5/5 Still comforting! They separate broth and chicken from the gelatinous noodle soup. Homey and maybe 2.5 portions. The texture of the noodles is a good balance of chew and softness. They're potentially more chewy, but I'm a fan of that. Was debating on getting another portion before Friday ends lol

    Spring Rolls/Khao Piak Sen/khao Mun Kai/ Nam Khao/Papaya Salad/Lao Sausages & Sticky Rice

    Stopped by after an awesome day of wine tasting for food before Rick Springfield show and OMG!!..the food was so good! Authentic Lao as it can get. The service was awesome and fast! Would be back when I'm in the area next time!

    Fried Chicken
    Jovon T.

    I've had Kob's Kitchen dozens of times, and it's consistently delicious and addicting. The Lao sausage is very flavorful, but the sauce that comes with the meal is the secret sauce. The combination of the flavor from the sausage, special sauce and sticky rice is perfect. The fried chicken is great, too. It's nothing out of the ordinary, but it definitely fulfills your chicken wing fix if you want another side to your meal. The pad Thai is delicious with a combination of sweet and sour after sprinkling a bit of lime. The magic is when you combine the Lao sausage, papaya salad (not pictured), pad Thai and the secret sauce. The papaya salad is a must-try. I usually get medium spicy. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you for the different flavor profiles and overwhelmingly delicious spices and flavors. For American Canyon, I don't think many restaurants can hang with Kob's Kitchen...and this is all out of a food truck with limited space. Service is quick. Wait time after placing an order over the phone can be 20-30 minutes. I highly recommend calling to place an order versus just showing up to order. Kob's Kitchen is a food truck located in a casino parking lot, so there are always people placing orders or waiting for an order. So, the next time you want a delicious southeast asian meal, Kob's is that spot! You're also supporting a small family business.

    Yelp did right here. Always looking for some good food on our path from Benicia to our Napa place and this is our new go to spot. Followed yelp directions and ordered papaya salad, Nam Khoi and pad Thai. All awesome. Stoked on this find.

    Beef Pad Thai

    WOW, if you are in the area you have to go here! Even if you aren't I would say it's worth the trip because this is some of the best food I've ever had. The food was so flavorful and the portions were such a great value. Friendly service too! I will definitely be back. I got the beef pad Thai and the pork bahn mi which were both delicious.

    Khao Piak- chicken noodle soup.  Absolutely delicious!

    They were very nice and accommodating. For the Khao Piak, I asked them to put the noodles on the side. Then she gave me the raw noodle (still had light flour on them and gave me instructions on how to cook everything when I'm ready to eat. It came out fresh and absolutely delicious!!!!

Is there chicken larb, mango sticky rice, sticky rice, & Thai ice tea. The picture doesn't do the size portion justice, it is well worth the price and each portion size is enough for two people or more. I'll definitely be a returning customer! (P.S. I had DoorDash this and it was so good. I felt motivated to jump over here to Yelp and write this review)

The shrimp in the curry were so plump and clean, the vegetables were fresh, crisp, and tender, and the seasoning/heat level was absolutely perfect. Honestly, they've mastered the balance of flavor and comfort. Combined with the fluffy white rice cooked perfectly every single time, the whole meal just feels comforting in a way that's hard to describe. The fresh spring rolls were exactly what my stomach needed, and the peanut sauce is so good I can never get enough of it--she had to bring me extra again Also, everything photographed exactly the way it looked in real life, which says a lot about the quality and care they put into their food. One thing I've always appreciated about this place is that they truly prioritize the guests already dining in while still handling incoming orders and new customers. You can tell they genuinely care about people having a good experience and treat many of their regulars like family. Lisa especially is amazing. She remembers small details about her regular customers, greets people by name, and makes everyone feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated. Funny enough, while I was literally drafting this review, Ken (Lisa's husband) walked out carrying a dish he had just cooked. He looked genuinely happy and excited to serve it, and you could immediately tell how much pride he takes in his food. He greeted the guests in front of me with a smile and that old-school respectful "sir" hospitality that honestly feels rare nowadays. It's refreshing to see genuinely good people who truly enjoy what they do and care about what they're offering others. Today I almost grabbed drive-thru instead because I left the house in pajamas, but not for one second did I feel out of place here. I felt comfortable, welcomed, and at home. It gave me the perfect space to quietly enjoy a meal alone without feeling awkward or out of place. Honestly, if you're new to dining alone, this would be such a good place to start. You'll be given enough space to enjoy your meal peacefully while still feeling cared for and welcomed by Lisa, Ken, and their team.

    Hidden gem in El Sobrante that serves up some of the best Laotian and Thai food in the Bay Area…read more Every time we visit, must-orders are the Nam Khao (crispy rice ball salad with fermented pork sausage and fresh herbs) and Ka Soy (Laotian noodle soup). If you see Nam Khao on the menu of a Laotian/Thai restaurant, that means they know what they are doing just because it's so labor-intensive to make a salad(!) and the fermented pork has to be damn-near perfect for this salad to really shine and round out the fresh herbs and seasonings which includes lime juice, vinegar, and fish sauce. Ka Soy (the noodle soup) is a comfort food enjoyed in Southeast Asia. It's not the Thai-style where it's a curry broth and the noodles are fried, so let's not get it mixed up. Instead, it's bone broth that been simmered for hours and it's somewhat a lighter broth. The noodles are wide rice noodles in a big bowl of hot broth served with a mixture of ground pork cooked down with tomatoes along with fresh bean sprouts, scallions, and cilantro - simply a divine noodle soup that a must-try. It's not overly complex in terms of flavor, but it's a bowl of good ol' noodle soup that is comforting and great-tasting. If you haven't tried Laotian food, give Sue's Kitchen a try. try some new flavors and you may just become a regular (if you aren't already). The owners are friendly too! It's a husband-and-wife team!

    The people here are exceedingly nice but the food is not. For example, I had their chicken noodle…read moresoup yesterday for lunch. It had basically two tablespoons of chicken that looked boiled. The soup tasted like water which made me add too much chili paste. The noodles were nothing to write home about though homemade. There were not a lot of noodles and mostly a lot of water for 15 dollars. I think the soup was supposed to come with crunchy garlic but it did not come with anything but a little bit of cilantro. All in all, just a very sad dish for $15 which I could have made at home with nothing but boiled water and noodles from the supermarket. My husband had their massaman Curry beef. They were training someone to cook in the kitchen and this curry came out with the texture and flavor of water. They were very kind to refund us for the curry as it was completely tasteless. One of the kitchen staff tasted the curry themselves and said that it had no flavor and apologized profusely. The restaurant itself though clean has a strong unpleasant smell.

Between our group, we got Sakoo, Nam Khao, Fried Clear Rice Roll Wraps, Sai Oua (Lao Sausages), Crispy Pork Belly, Pad Kee Mao, and a large side of Sticky Rice. Of the dishes, the Nam Khao was a standout favorite for me. I loved how crispy and crunchy the fried rice was in the dish. There were so many layers of flavors and textures from the fish sauce, the peanuts, and the fermented sour pork. If there's one dish you must order when you stop by here, it's this one. Another dish I really enjoyed was the Sai Oua; I get this dish whenever I see it at restaurants. Although I've had Lao sausages which were very heavy in lemongrass flavor, the ones here did not have the same flavor profile. Instead, the ones here leaned more towards the spicy side. The crispy pork belly was another standout dish for me. If you enjoy Filipino lechon or Cantonese siu yuk, this is another must-order dish. The pork is well seasoned and has the perfect ratio of lean to fatty parts. Overall, I had wonderfully delicious meal. I would certainly recommend coming as a large group so you're able to order a wide variety of dishes. If you're looking for something to really excite your taste buds, head over to Bhan Mae Vane.

    I'm absolutely blown away. I was surprised about how good everything was. Might have been the best…read morefood I've had this year. My family ordered 1 appetizer, 4 entrees, and 2 drinks, all shared, and all 4 of us agreed that EVERY single item was phenomenal. That has absolutely NEVER happened before. At most restaurants, there's always at least one thing that someone doesn't like, and often multiple things that multiple people don't like. Not the case here. The appetizer was the spicy basil wings. Very good to start. But little did I know what was coming my way. The drinks were Thai tea and lychee limeade. The Thai tea was normal. As in good, I liked it. The lychee limeade was amazing, had to order another one. I would like to try the mango next time (there will definitely be a next time). Very sour, which I love. I hate lemonade that's not sour enough. Oh and that too, I usually hate limeade, don't really care for lemonade, and don't drink soda. I usually only drink water, juice, or tea (no coffee, alcohol rarely). So that's saying something. The Laos fried spring roll entree was really good. I always liked fried rolls but something about this tasted better. They were Laotian rolls, so maybe that was part of the difference from the ones you get from Pho restaurants. The duck over rice was amazing. I'm not usually one to pick duck, I don't mind it but I usually don't order it, but this was my mom's choice and it was really good. I like the sauce too. The Panang duck curry was so good. My mom doesn't even like curry and she liked it. And the Chiang Mai soup dish, I've never had anything like it. It was still hot after, I don't know, 20 minutes maybe? At the bottom especially. We all ate this together at the end, while the other dishes were in the order I listed them for myself (mostly, kinda switched around a bit eating family style), and generally the same for everyone else. I tasted a tiny bit of the soup in the beginning and thought it was nothing special, like when my spoon was clean it was the first thing I scooped. Only the soup though, none of the stuff inside. Honestly I didn't read what was in it, some crispy noodle or something. I was not sure if I would like it but my sister said she had it in Thailand and liked it so if I didn't like it she could eat it. That ended up not being a problem. Okay so anyway, we started on the soup at the end. To start, it was pretty good. Somehow, every bite we took tasted better and better, for at least like 5-10 bites maybe. At that point, I was thinking it's the best thing I've ever tasted. (But of course that's probably not actually true, and I'm just falling for the recency bias, kind of like how my favorite song changes all the time.) Never had anything like it. I've been missing out. But wow, I have to come back. And I highly recommend this place. Life changing experience honestly. Like if you asked me right now if I wanted to get Japanese or Korean (my other favorites) food or this, I would go here. I honestly wanted more of every single dish, especially the fried spring rolls, duck over rice, duck curry, and soup. Wait a second... that's all the entrees we ordered! Also the limeade. I need to get that again. But I also want to try other stuff next time so I'm torn. I literally need all 4 of these dishes again so I don't know what to do. I hope these dishes aren't seasonal or otherwise temporary. I noticed the menu had a month and year listed (I think it said April 2026 and it's May 3 2026 today) so I believe they update it frequently. If I lived closer I would come 20 times in a row and try every single thing, but unfortunately I live in San Ramon so it's not like I'm trying to go to Oakland every day. Soon though. My sister lives there, if I were her I would go here every day until I was sick of it, if that could ever be possible. I don't know if I could ever enjoy other food this much again. I was also completely sober so it wasn't like I had munchies or anything (felt I should specify being a young adult who grew up in California). Hmm, that gives me an idea for the future though. Even the pricing is fair (no dishes over $30), and the place is nice. Great service too. The only drawbacks are small tables for parties over 4 people, and it's REALLY loud in the restaurant, but well worth it. If you are sensitive to noise I'd recommend earplugs, earmuffs, earbuds, headphones, or something. The place is also relatively small. I'd recommend making a reservation if you plan to go on a Friday or Saturday night. It got busy, very busy. Well our reservation was at 6 and it wasn't crowded yet, a couple tables open, but by the time our food came out the place was absolutely packed and I think people without reservations had to wait to sit. I'm not sure though, I was too focused on the amazing food to care. Anyway, once again, highly recommend and I will be back.

Recommend adding this to any meal balance out the other fried items. Kao Piak - I find that most places over cook their chickens, but the meats here were cooked perfectly. Broth was a bit salty for me, and I usually like the broth thicker, but still good overall. Mango Sticky Rice - I liked the crispy fried rice bits that added a nice crunch. Mango wasn't quite in season right now, but it was still sweet and soft enough. Overall service was great, and there is a lot of parking in the area. Def recommend checking it out.
