    Thum kao poon
    Sandy S.

    Tried the thum kao poon, kao piak, potstickers, mee ka tee, and fried chicken, everything was really good! The flavors were delicious and comforting, and the fried chicken was especially tasty. The only small thing was that the noodles in the thum kao poon could have tasted a little fresher, but overall the dish was still good. Service was great too, our server was very nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely would come back!

    First time trying Lao food and I'm obsessed. I love spicy food so my sister put me on to this spot and wow... I'm seriously impressed. Service was great, wasn't busy or too loud so was able to have a decent conversation. We ordered the Pad See Eww, papaya salad (my mouth was on fire in the best way), Nam Khao, chicken larb, and crying tiger. Everything was a 4/5 spice level and full of flavor. I genuinely can't choose a favorite. This is exactly how spicy food should be--bold, flavorful, and not overpowering! I think I found my new favorite spot

    My friend recommended me to try this restaurant during my visit. Located in a commercial area with free parking lot. No reservations needed, restaurant is good size, able to accommodate small and large groups. The food tastes just like home, almost similar to my cooking. It was still delicious to eat for midnight snack.

    Nice environment. Quick service. Food flavor unique with mix of Lao and Thai if u like spicy taste.

    Seen sawan

    The food is always great here. We got the seen sawan beef strips 8/10, kao poon chicken 10/10, and the kao piak 10/10.

    Mee ka tee

    I love that there's another Lao restaurant in Vegas. Lao Kitchen has so many food options and they all taste amazing. I love coming here for the mee ka tee. Service is prompt and all the staff is friendly.

    This place is amazing! Friendly staff and great food. We had the papaya salad and the chicken larb. Let me tell you: the larb was great. It wasn't just your regular ground chicken; it had chicken heart and liver. Yummy. The food satiated our hunger after a day of hiking at Red Rock Canyon. I will come back again

    Fish wrap, papya Lao Papaya Salad
    Nina L.

    The food was amazing! The lao papaya salad was a touch too spicy for a two but everything else was outstanding. The fried squid was standout. Highly recommend this place.

    Glass noodle salad

    Food is great. Service was quick and very helpful. Made sure to ask if there were anyone with food allergies in our party. Food presentation and flavor was good. Definitely coming back.

    Crying tiger.
    Norm K.

    I wanted to get an early dinner before a show and this is in a plaza with which I am familiar. Once again, thanks to Yelp for helping me find what has been there all the time. Their menu is mostly Lao street food but with a number of Thai dishes and some influence from Vietnam and India. Looking over the extensive menu, I ordered their Crying Tiger, marinated grilled beef brisket cut in small slivers for sipping in the crying tiger sauce. I also got an order of plain white rice. The crying tiger sauce is spicy but not too spicy for me. The Thai iced coffee I got to drink also helped with the spice if needed. The beef brisket is nicely grilled and the thin strips were somewhat rare which is the way i like beef. It was a very pleasant dish. For dessert, I got their roti. Knowing the size of roti, I wondered if it was too much for one person. The server told me it was one roti. Their menu describes it as fluffy, freshly made flatbread. In short order, the dessert arrived. The roti is folded and cut into small squares. It is glazed with a small amount of sugar and served slightly warm. There was also a small amount of sweetened condensed milk for some moisture. The Lao roti is similar to Indian. One website describes the Thai roti like this: "The Thai version is made from a dough that is stretched very thin (often with a theatrical flair from street vendors), folded to create layers, fried in butter and oil, and then served as a sweet snack or dessert. The result is a combination of crispy, flaky, and slightly chewy" What a treat! Service was very good. Coming in the late afternoon, the restaurant was empty except for people at one other table. Since their menu is so extensive, I will be returning for this very good food!

    Nam Khao
    Eri S.

    My nephew that lives locally recommended this place and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was super clean, and the waitress wasted no time to get our order/ We ordered Lao sausage with sticky rice, Kao piek, and Nam Khao. The sausage was on point with lots of herbs, khao piek looked like the noodles were made in- house. Nam Khao was a bit too sour for me, but satisfied my craving. Coming back here next time we are in Vegas.

    First time having Lao food and everything was so flavorful and yummy !! I would definitely come back

    Belldandy C.

    Came in on a weekday and were seated quickly. There was 1 other table. We tried to order a bit of everything to try. Service was great! Our server is also the hostess so she was working double time serving and seating. Food was good! Everything had great flavor and an adequate spice! Overall, great service and yummy food!

    First Impression: The bar is a whiskey lovers dream…read more Location: off the strip, looks a bit sketchy from the outside, but inside is like stepping into a different world. Experience: We were a party of 2 and waited about 10 mins for our table. Once seated we were greeted by our server. We have been here once before and dreamt about it since. Thankfully, the food quality matched what we remembered from our first experience. We ordered a variety of dishes to share and ended taking back to our hotel. Tom yum, pad kee mao, fried rice, curry and soft shell crab. Honestly, i felt like one of your foodie youtubers with the spread on our table. Each dish was made well and with care - we enjoyed every bite we were able to eat and would recommend coming here out of any place on the strip. Note: check our their whiskey list - they have alot of options from all.

    **1 STAR -- PLEASE CLEAN UP YOUR PARKING LOT!**…read more Dear Lotus of Siam on Flamingo, **What the heck is going on with the outside of your restaurant?!** On Saturday, August 8, I drove past and honestly thought the restaurant was abandoned. I actually thought, "Did they go out of business?" On Sunday, I stopped by after work. I was surprised to see the parking lot packed -- and then I saw the condition of the lot. There was garbage piled throughout the parking lot, and a shopping-cart garbage fire had clearly been there for several days, with debris and trash still sitting on the sidewalk directly in front of your restaurant. I took photos and video because I honestly couldn't believe it. Couldn't someone from the staff or management spend an hour before opening cleaning this up? This is the first thing your customers see when they arrive! And here's the frustrating part: your food is incredible, your staff is great, and the restaurant is obviously very popular. So why does the outside look abandoned? I'm giving 1 star because I want this review to get noticed not because of the food or service. Clean up the parking lot and I will gladly change my review. You have a great restaurant. Please take care of the outside, too!

Great very personable service and honestly the flavors were great but unfortunately the quality really was a big miss!! Although the beef brisket was ridiculously tender but some of the pieces not masked in the panang curry looked super old, dried and oddly marked with white spots? Server described them as coconut spots....? Sorry but I'm very visual and unfamiliar with weird white spots caused by the coconut in the curry so couldn't take another bite? Dining alone I probably ordered too much but the crab fried rice sounded too good to pass up ....But unfortunately fell short as well. Texture of the egg scrambled with the crab meat resulted in more of a fishy mush texture? Basil with ground chicken and shrimp was good but not great? Now their chicken wings....Wow!!! Perfect crunch and bite but with the sweet and spicy dipping sauce, next level!! Hoping that I preferred too much and ordered wrong items off menu so definitely will be back and try once more?

    This place does a great job on Thai curry. I know many reviews will say "the curry was good"…read morewithout any details, but let me give you the details. -They seem to use actual whole spices in the curries, you'll see flecks of coriander and lemongrass and such. I suspect they make their own curry paste. -The curry flavors are REALLY well balanced. Someone or some people with very good cooking sense are making their recipes and cooking. -Massaman curry is hard to get right, but theirs has the perfect mix of umami, tangy, sweet, salty. -Yellow curry can often be really bland and just like sweet coconut milk at other restaurants, but the yellow curry at Panna Thai is intense and chock-full of spices (you can see the spice pieces in it, probably coriander and other things) and it's one of their best curries, really excellent balanced and flavorful taste -They take care to prepare the vegetables well, and the pumpkin in the pumpkin curry has the perfect texture, the eggplant is very soft and melt-in-your mouth, I've never had bad vegetables in their curries -The coconut milk is very rich and thick and the curries are thick (not just like water) -Each curry tastes like what it's supposed to taste like and they all taste very different. I think the best taste is in the yellow curry, Massaman curry, red curry, and pumpkin curry. The curries are not oily, no layer of oil or little drops of oil, and don't seem to have seed oils in them (we asked and were told the curries are a good dish if you want to avoid seed oils) -The curries are consistently good and I've had them maybe 15x between dine-in, trying my husband's food, and delivery -- been great every time -The curry fillings are good -- chicken is tender, they include lots of vegetables, the pumpkin in the pumpkin curry is melt-in-your-mouth -They add the things that are supposed to be included in authentic curry (like Thai basil for the red curries, fish sauce, etc.) -They are accommodating to allergies and dietary preferences -They'll actually make the curry spicy if you request it, I have a high spice need/tolerance and this is one of the only places that will make it taste spicy to a level where I can feel it if I ask for their highest spice level -The jasmine rice is the best of anywhere I've eaten in Vegas -- so fresh, so bouncy/springy, high-quality rice grains, clearly handled well and rinsed prior to cooking, cooked perfectly every time I've had it. It's a big part of the experience of curry to have bouncy, high-quality jasmine rice to contrast with he creaminess of the curry, and this place does a great job with it. -The portions are large and I almost always take some home, delivery portions are pretty large, too There are only 3 Thai places in Vegas that I can say that about, and this is the only one in SW Vegas that I've found to be like this. the service is also great and you actually feel like a guest there. they have little extra touches like real candles. they do a great job with refilling water, lemon in your water, mints by the door, lots of extra touches. above-par Thai restaurant, please support them! and try the curries! I think most people would enjoy their yellow, Massaman, and pumpkin curries.
