Came with three kids, staff was very accommodating. The place isn't huge but the service is fantastic and the food is very tasty. I am not a Pho connoisseur but I know good soup when I eat it. Prices are reasonable and the restaurant is very clean. It all adds up to a great experience to me! read more

In town for business and shocked at how good this little restaurant is for where we are. Awesome pho!

Very good food. Started with fresh rolls which they made with tofu for us. The peanut sauce was really flavorful although a bit thick. We didn't mind at all so just an observation. I got the veggie pho with tofu, Hubbie got the Beef Laab with steam rice. Pho serving was big, broth was good although even better with the hot chili oil they add. Laab serving was adequate, had nice, fresh flavors and was cooked perfectly. Server seemed slightly irritated that I asked for the fresh roll with tofu, but her demeanor changed after that and she was helpful and nice. We will be back! read more

Amazing pho, and the owner's are so friendly and helpful. Truly authentic.

My most favorite place to get Pho I use to only like a place in Portland Oregon and then found out about this place and now it's my all time favorite. I will say their pho is my most favorite dish but everything else they have is absolutely delicious. There is usually only one lady as the waitress cleaning, taking orders, bringing food out, but she is awesome and is on top of everything. read more

Edible but would not go again. My coworker and I each got a separate dish (green curry and pad see ewe) and both were unfortunately not that great. The pad see ewe was extremely sweet. Especially with all the good reviews, we were looking forward to it. Service was nice but unfortunately can't make up for the food. read more

I was in town for a continuing education class and stopped by for lunch. I had chicken pad Thai and it was quick and delicious! Great place! I would definitely recommend it for lunch. read more

One of our go to spots for good pho in the TriCities! My hubby always gets the beef and meatball pho and I get the chicken pho. The spring rolls are also delish! read more

Ordered pad Thai and yellow curry and it was superrrr bland. If you are a Thai food junkie you won't love this place. Maybe their pho is really good? I've seen people post reviews on here about their pho dish, but the pad Thai and yellow curry was not good. I didn't finish it.... read more

Outstanding service and great food. Single Pad Thai entree can easily feed two adults.

It was nice, the tables were sticky but it was probably just the sanitizer that was used. Food was wonderful and they were very considerate about my vegetarian diet, loved it! read more

This review is about the Phad See Ewe (to go order)..I'm shocked that the rating for this place is so high with what I saw and tasted. Maybe it's because I'm from the Bellevue/Seattle area, but the PSE was grosstastic... Never in my life have I seen a PSE with big chunks of bell peppers, broccoli, celery and an oddly out of place LIME? This ain't no taco truck! There also a puddle of liquid at the bottom of the takeout box which was probably oils and runoff from when they cooked it.. PSE is not supposed to be half soup!! The chicken was bland and tough. I took two bites and tossed it. After the first bite i was disgusted but i had to give it a second chance... No change. I should've known when i saw they served both pho AND thai food... No good eats specialize in two different types of food! read more

Simply the most delicious yellow curry I've ever had!!! Amazing food and staff! Love this place!

The best pho broth I've ever had, and I used to live in garden Grove, one of the pho capitals of the world. The egg rolls we're outstanding, for the pho, go with the beef skip the meatballs, amazing. read more

This is the best restaurant in town for pho. Our food was phenomenal. The service was quick and friendly. Definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Quick, clean, very good pho and fried rice! Flavorful, fresh veggies and not too greasy. A spot we will definately be back to.

I had a take out order of 4 spring rolls, red beef curry and pad kee mau. The food tasted excellent and portions were good for the price. But could have have more white rice with the order. The inside looked kind of drab so i was gld i got takeout. I stood there for a few minutes at the front desk before someone came out to me. The lady i got my order from seemed nice but distracted and disorganized. I paid for my food on an iPad and i was still paying when she walked away to help other customers. At least finish helping your current customer before you run away to help preferred customers and make sure we pay for the food. I could have not paid and walked off with the ipad if i wanted to. 3 stars for lack of service. read more

Best pho in Richland and the pad thai is fantastic too. Very friendly, quick service. Highly recommend!!

First time in, and hungry from just climbing candy mountain in West Richland, we ordered the chicken pho and the beef combo pho. They both arrived with the same unappetizing looking grey broth, noodles and onions and skimpy portions of the respective meats. Was surprised the the chicken and the beef pho had the same grey broth - made me wonder if the seafood pho comes with it too. We were served a side plate containing basil, bean sprouts, 3 slices of jalapeño and two slices of lime. We tasted the broth before adding anything & it was near completely flavorless. Thank goodness for the Korean BBQ Sauce, Sriracha and soy sauce that was on the table, which after dousing our food with, made it at least palatable. Then went in the sprouts, pepper slices, herb and lime. All this for only a little over 21 bucks! What a deal.... Was hoping this would be a keeper, but won't be back. read more

Fast, fresh, and authentic food! They have modifications available for plant based diets and are super nice. Definitely give them a chance. Your taste buds won't be sorry! read more

Lao Kitchen - Shrimp pad thai was amazing! Everything from Lao's is authentic, fresh, and delicious! - Laotian Near Me - Richland, Washington

The food here was delicious! It all had so much flavor, I can't wait to try other items on the menu. I had the Pho Tofu and Vegetables. It was probably the best Pho I've had in TC. We will definitely be coming here again. read more

Not much for atmosphere but the food is great! The entire restaurant was very clean, the menu had every type of Thai food I could ever want, and the service was fast. I especially liked their "hotness" scale of 1-5: I ordered #3 and discovered that that was my limit! read more

I've been here a few times. The food is always good. The egg rolls are fantastic. The staff is always friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend!! read more

Really good food and good service. Only downfall is the environment; it's like eating soup in a library.

Amazing, amazing food...I'd have to say the best Lao/Thai food in the tri-cities period. Very clean and a great place to eat. Food reminded me of the food I ate in Vientiane. Stop by everyone you won't be disappointed. And regarding Henry O's comment about Kendra's wok and roll...I would disagree 100% and so would my other 30 co-workers at PNNL. Her food is bland and has no flavor what so ever. We'd rather make the 5-10 minute drive to have GOOD Lao food. read more

Lao Kitchen - Laotian Near Me - Richland, Washington

See all

During a quick visit to Richland I found myself at the Lao Kitchen one evening. I ordered the tofu and veggie pho. What a perfect dish for a chilly winter night. Menu wasn't extensive but offered a few different items for those looking for something beyond pho. The stark setting, wall mounted TV (why a TV?!), and ample fluorescent lights do nothing to contribute to ambiance at this little hole in the wall. That said, the cheery staff and delicious food help to round out the experience. read more

Ordered takeout during the time of covid. Super fast, food was fresh and healthy. Ordering here again soon! I got lettuce wraps and spring rolls. read more

The service was good, & the restaurant is very clean. My husband (who is half Laotian) and I ordered the spring rolls, laab, and combination beef pho. The pho broth is very under developed, it needs to be reduced down by about half. Their is no kaffir in the laab (and why are you eating laab if not for the kaffir). This made me very sad. The spring rolls were good, but the flavor again was lacking. It kind of feels like Laotian food "tri-citied" down. On a positive note, the kaffir is an easy enough fix, with some more herbs, some mint would brighten up the spring rolls, and the pho...well just leave it on the stove overnight. read more

I try to eat vegetarian when possible and I was so happy to find this place and that they prepare their tofu in such a delicious way (a lot of places fry the hell put of it and it ruins the flavor). I went in for pho but ended up with fresh rolls and red curry. Both were great! I am excited to have a pho place close and will try it next time! It's adorable, clean, and with quick service. read more

Literally the BEST pho in the Tri EVER. Not even kidding. I swear their pho cures the blind and washes away your sins. Plus the service is lightning fast and their other dishes are delicious. The ladies here are the sweetest people and work so hard! If you haven't tried it here, you better cancel your dinner plans and hit up Lao Kitchen. You seriously won't regret it. read more

Very good food, my drink was filled multiple times and the wait staff was very friendly. I loved the curry, my wife thought the pho was ok, a bit bland she says. Ultimately we had a great time at this little spot and would definitely go back. read more

Small little hole in the wall, with really good food. Staff was really nice, Pho was super yummy!!! Can't wait to work our way through the rest of the menu! read more

Delicious Pho. Our new favorite spot in all the tri-cities. Great service and very clean. Perfect when you are craving big city Pho. Iced coffee was yummy too! read more

Always been super impressed with the service and food here! Joy and Mike do an amazing job! Hey make my favorite pho by far, and I'm not a vegetarian by any means, but their zucchini noodles (optional) add a nice healthy touch to the soup. Thankfully you can offset that healthy bit, with some of the greatest butterflies in the whole wide world! Thanks Joy and Mike for always making lunch or dinner a wonderful experience! read more

This is my favorite place in town for Thai food. Their pho is amazing. I recommend the beef and meatball. They also have great chicken phad Thai and hands down the best crab Rangoon that I've ever had. read more

Just moved here from Orange County, CA. I miss asian food so gave this place a try! Had the combo beef pho and it was tasty. On the lighter side for broth, reminds me of Hu Tieu. Springs rolls were fresh and peanut sauce was delicious and thick like a paste. Papaya salad was good except spicy for a "medium". I would order again except mild. Everything was great and will return for pho! read more

The nicest people and the best food. Try the Chai Thai Tea is delicious!

Clean fresh food and great service too! The dishes are pretty simple but perfect! Their Pho is great, and recently tried their yellow curry which was awesome. The first few times I had their stir fry which is also great. I really haven't had anything there that wasn't good. Pretty small spot and is a bit quiet, but we love the friendliness of the owner and always feel welcomed (even with our crazy kiddos). Nice to have this clean cozy place nearby when we don't want to cook for ourselves. I really appreciate that none of the food is greasy or oversaturated with MSG. All the dishes are nicely balanced. Highly recommended! read more

This is my new favorite place to eat! The pho is amazing and so are he butterflies. The staff are very friendly and the prices extremely fair. They also have the best sticky rice I've ever eaten. I can't say enough good things about this place, other than the fact that I am addicted read more

Great service, even though it was a busy lunch rush. Food was excellent. I never had Laab before without mint leaves. Guess their recipe is different. I will be back again next time I'm in Richland. read more
