    Fried intestine
    DJ S.

    Busy with many tables filled at 3pm on Labor Day! Just shows what a great restaurant this is and how many people want to patronize it! Great variety of Laotian food! So many dishes to choose from! I opted for the fried intestines as app and Mee ga tee! Fried to perfection, light crispy batter and tender intestine with perfect dipping sauce. Mee ga tee was Rich, creamy, bursting with flavor, and absolutely delicious! Gives me Thai Khao soi vibes! I'll definitely be back to try other dishes!!

    Clean and cute ambiance. Greeted upon entering the venue. Order the Ka Piet Sen, Thum pah, sticky rice, and crab fried rice. Service time was good, cook to order.

    Yum Lao salad, sauce/dressing is
    Melody P.

    Yummy then, yummy now! I heard there's new management, but the food is still as authentic as ever. Don't sleep on Laotian food! They still have all the comforting hangover soup dishes, plus those savory, spicy dishes that will jump-start your metabolism. Spice levels can be adjusted too, so you can go as mild or as fiery as you like.

    My friend and I wanted Lao food so we stopped by Lao Kitchen for lunch. We waited for a few minutes to be seated. She was by her self greeting people and serving the food. Food: Kao Poon Nam - Vermicelli, Chicken Feet, Pork Blood Cube, Cilantro, Green Onion with Red Curry Broth Pad See Ew - Stir-Fried Flat Noodle with Egg and Chinese Broccoli. I was bummed that they did not offer Tofu as a protein. The Pad See Ew did have a great taste and smokey flavor. The Kao Poon soup was also delicious. I'd return again and try different dishes.

    Crying Tiger
    Lindy C.

    Really yummy Lao food!!! We ordered the Nam Khao Lao (crispy rice), Crying Tiger, and Crispy Pork Belly. Everything was so delicious, the crying tiger was my favorite. Every bite I took was like the first one...the smoky char taste paired with the sauce is so addicting. The crispy rice was so flavorful and tastes even better when you eat it with the chilies. Unfortunately I don't have a high tolerance to Southeast Asian spice so half a chili did enough for me. The pork belly was light and the fried crust was perfect. I also paired our meal with a thai coffee and it was deletable - so strong yet not bitter. Service was very nice despite it being busy, it feels like a cozy small business passionate about their culture and food.

    grilled squid
    Nancy N.

    Everything was delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The grilled squid was tender and tasty, and all the dishes went really well together. The portions were generous, and I especially loved the variety of flavors. Definitely a place I'd come back to try again!

    Great service, Great food. If your looking for authentic Lao food this is the place from the papaya to the beef trip soup. Everything we had was superb. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good homestyle Lao meal.

    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.

Actually, I prefer Cambodian and Laotian food over Thai, but da Wahine loves Thai food, so off to get Thai food we went. Good size venue with plenty of parking right outside. The inside is larger than it looks from the outside. Popular place; the place was at capacity when we went. The staff were friendly and efficient, no issues with service and the food came out in a timely manner. #JumpaLaoThaiBistro: Mok: ~ MOK PA - 4/5 Of course, I'm going to get the Lao dish! They were out of all the other Mok's. This was the only one available...so this was my default choice. While the catfish was absolutely brilliant; delicate, melt in your mouth, full of flavor, the portion was tiny! This was more like an appetizer than a dish. Otherwise this would have been 5 ***** for me. SIDES: ~ Sticky Rice - 3/5 This was just OK. I had much better... BOAT NOODLE - 3.5/5 I'm no Boat noodle expert, but da Wahine loves boat noodle soup, it's one of her favorite dishes. She liked it, but said she had much better. I thought the Boat Noodle Soup here was fine, but lacked protein. i felt like they skimped on the protein, I tried this dish at other places that had more beef and shrimp. Dessert: ~ Purple Sticky Rice with Coconut custard - 3/5 This was just OK as well, recommended by the staff. We thought the "custard" was akin to Cassava. Personally, I wouldn't call it custard. The flavor and texture were OK, nothing to rave about. It was a miss for us. Overall 3.5 **** for me

And the spring roll sauce is just their Penang curry or at least tastes very similar to it; it's not an actual peanut sauce!! The Penang curry was extremely sweet and to be honest with you. I threw away most of it. I'm just confused because when I've dined in and gotten their pad Thai lunch special, it was mostly OK. But ordering takeout? I will NEVER do it again. This experience really made me question their food standards.

Lets be honest I wanted to go because I had gone with some business partners year before during the SHOT Show convention and loved it. We sat at the bar but they had plenty of seating for a 5pm arrival. Their location is convenient to the strip off Flamingo and well worth the Uber or Zoox if they travel to that area. The staff at the bar were all amazing and actually seemed interested in talking to us while prepping for the night. I always find the service off strip to be better, but its merely a generalization as it really comes down to the individual server. Their selection of drinks is like the cheesecake factory menu and very impressive along with some reasonably priced beers and cocktails. One thing lacking olive seltzers, but hey some white girls have to get adventurous sometimes. I got the yuzu lager which was amazing and had to get a couple. My wife got a gin and tonic which had some elderberry flavor in it and she had to drive so I got to finish that bad boy off. For food we always share, because most plates are huge. We got the crispy fried rice which I remembered from years ago which features almost puffy style rice with a lot of amazing aromatics like lemongrass and lime as well as sour pork sausage which I feel just tasted like a typical Chinese sausage but supreme flavorful and not a huge soy flavor. This is a must have at $15 even if just as a starter. The food options are amazing including a lot of Northern Thai options you dont see at a basic bitch Thai restaurant. We also got the Seafood PAd ped which features mussels, squid, scallops, and shrimp in a mushroom lime sauce and boy howdy it was unique and tasty. I could go on and on about the choices but if this is all you eat assuming you like a good mushroom sauce then you will be set as a couple. Big shout out to the staff for making us feel at home in Vegas as Phoenix ferners. The restaurant is super clean with a modenr esthetic and quite large to fit a lot of people. They also have an amazing wine selection that goes as deep as your wallet.

Thankfully there is ample parking, which is a huge plus for be area. Being a Wednesday evening, it was pretty empty but they have a large dining area and a lounge with a stage near the entrance.

After scouring the menu, we opted for the Shrimp with Pepper Sauce and the Mixed Vegetables with Shrimp. Spice level we went with 8 and 9 respectively. I found my spice to be perfect (9), my fiance thought the 8 was a little mild. The flavor of both of our dishes was great though! The pepper sauce was deep and well developed, while the sauce in the mixed vegetables was good but paled in comparison.

They have another location closer to where we live so we def want to try that one out sometime. Overall, we would eat here again for the authenticity of the flavors and for the great service.
