There's nothing…read moremuch going on the surrounding area so you have to come with a ready appetite looking for this place. It's a restaurant and small grocery store combo with an open kitchen right next to the seating area. My friend is native Lao/Thai so I let him do the ordering. A picture is worth a thousand words so take a look at what we ordered and decide whether it is good or not! The dishes are not-westernized and carry full blown Lao/Thai flavor with the pretty amount of spice and kick. The owner took the time to talk to us for a bit and make suggestions from the menu. I love the homey feeling of a kitchen like this one. A 5-star experience comes not just from the food but the feeling of authenticity. Thank you!

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.

Conveniently located just off Lemmon Avenue, this spot is tucked away at the end of a small…read moreshopping center. Since the center isn't very busy, it's easy to miss--but it's definitely worth finding. The food was served fresh and piping hot. I paid about $15 for an order of chicken skins and chicken potstickers, and both were freshly made and tasted great. They came with a flavorful dipping sauce that really complemented the dishes. This is primarily a takeout location, with limited seating--just a few bar-style seats inside. That said, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. The menu offers a wide variety of unique entrées you may not be familiar with, making it a fun place to try something new. I would highly recommend giving this place a try--you might end up liking it as much as I do.

I've heard so many good things about this place and wanted to love it so badly, but the food was…read morevery mediocre. The papaya salad was lacking so much flavor...it was literally bland.

Jeow Som / Bang Bang Sauce ($3.49): The container is big but you really do not need much. It is very acidic and makes your tongue tingle. After a few dips my palate was registering super salty. I wish they sold a smaller size. Heavenly Beef Jerky ($10.75): These are thinner than your typical beef jerky, almost like they were going for a chip texture. They were pretty dry with just a slight crunch. We ended up dipping them in the bang bang sauce to help with the dryness. Crispy ZAAP Wings ($10.75): These were not as flavorful as we were hoping. They tasted a lot better with the bang bang sauce but on their own they fell flat. I would not get either appetizer again. Drunken Noodles / Pad Kee Mao ($16.99) + Combo Protein ($4): This was the best of everything we ordered. The combo protein came with chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp and the dish came out piping hot and fresh. It tasted really good and is worth ordering.

The establishment is actually a mini market offering spices, household necessities, grocery food items, etc. -- but you're able to order some traditional Lao or Thai dishes from the cashier. Everything I have tried here is definitely made-to-order. The papaya salad was done right and the spice level as requested was just enough to have my eyes water up. So thankful this family owned small business is sharing their love for homestyle Lao and Thai cooking in the Dallas community!

Does anyone in DFW shop or eat at Overseas Market in Dallas? See my comments below…read more I visited Overseas Market, On Sunday, January 11, 2026, I called in an order for pickup. I absolutely love Meat Larb and Papaya Salad, and I also picked up some small sticky rice and a container of cabbage pickle. I remember the gentleman at the counter quoted me around $42.00 for everything, which seemed right based on what I ordered. When I paid by card, I honestly didn't get a clear view of the amount on the terminal, and I was in a bit of a hurry, so I didn't think to ask for a receipt at the time. I totally regret that now! It wasn't until I checked my bank statement a couple days later that I noticed a charge of $282.20 from Overseas Market. As you can imagine, I was pretty surprised, as it's quite a bit more than the $42.00 I was expecting. Spoke with the man by the phone he said I don't have a receipt and refused to work with me. At this point he left me no choice I got back online and did a partial dispute. This type of incident can happen to anyone so, please ask for a receipt and take time to look at it.

But the dining flow is smoother and the dining room is larger and more comfortable. They have sacrificed considerable shelf shopping, an entire row - I didn't see my favorite pho packaged broth mix - but I certainly appreciated all the new tables and chairs. You still order and pay up front. There are photos for everything you might want to order, but there is something that cannot really be conveyed. I believe that the heat levels are hotter than most places. They will warn you. Believe them. So I believed it, it was still HOT, and I had to laugh. I still enjoyed it all. So my Husband got his wish and ordered the garlicky Pork Riblets. They are marinated in garlic, fried in garlic, and topped with garlic. So very very good. He also had the Chicken Wings also deep into the garlic flavor and very tender. He shared with me. Thank goodness. So I shared the always crunchy and tasty pork egg rolls. Heaven. They came with their own sauce, but there's a table up by the kitchen with the Hoisin, Sriracha, and other sauces and of course there is a spice tray. My husband had their wonderful green curry and I, the Pad Kee Mao, which was very spicy even at a (2). I wasn't keen on the noodle texture or lack of sauce. I've had many versions of Drunken Noodles and I wanted to like this this one. I love this grocery and restaurant combination. It's aromatic and fun! The locals are here and I love that big picture menu out front. Ly Foods is a special place.
