This is a great spot to find traditional Lao Street food. Everything is made fresh to order and you can taste it. I ordered the shrimp summer roles and they were THICK and excellent! My husband got the sweet sticky rice and mango. The mango was ripe and sweet and the rice added a good balance. Being a Lao girl, I am always trying to find my comfort foods close to home and I can definitely see this location becoming that for me. The owners were kind and made comforting conversation. This location is half cafe, half convenience store. The entrance is on the inside of the mall, opposite of the parking lot. The menu is on the glass, and it provides the name, price and picture of the food item. This location is more of a pickup/ takeout as there is only 1-2 tall tables in the store. read more

Came in for a cool refreshing drink and I wasn't sure what I wanted as there are so many great options. After speaking with the employee, I ended up getting the pineapple and the passion fruit tea. The pineapple is what came highly recommended, it was sweet and had bits of pineapple in it however the passion fruit was my favorite between the two. Along with drinks they also have food and the menu and smell has me wanting to come back and give them a try. Give them a try! read more

Just started staying out on the West side (I personally love Wainae), wanted something different, this is one of the best dishes I have had this time around and oh so fresh! I ordered the cucumber salad (medium heat), chicken larb, and the shrimp/pork summer rolls; it tasted as expected onolicious! The owners and staff were so polite and helpful when I asked certain questions. I will be here at least once a week until I leave the island... nice meals for work. It's a local shop, no glitz, no glam but very nice owners and superb food! read more

After reading previous reviews about this new lil boba spot I had to drop in while at the mall for a Longs run, who can say no to boba and Laotian food. I got the Brown Sugar boba, fresh and still warm taro and banana mochi rice along with some veggies from their veggie stand. Next time I'm going to try the food menu items. Love this place I mean I go in for a boba drink and walk out with my vegetables for the week. Not to mention all reasonably priced. Service was great, super friendly, very informative and fast. And yes since this COVID19 pandemic more people are on EBT so I had to ask if they're accepting EBT for their farmers market side because that would draw more people in the door. Trust me word would spread so fast. But she said not at this time tho she is trying and hopes the business gets approved. My visit was about 4 weeks ago. Nywayz if you haven't tried this cute gem what you waiting for. P.S. no forget we all know mango is seasonal so dont get turned off when you see the out of mango sign read more

So happy and excited to have stumbled across this lovely spot!!! Absolutely delicious summer rolls freshly made to order, best I have had! The rice paper is perfectly thin, tender and stuffed full of refreshing crunchy veggies. My favorite is the combo, shrimp and lightly seasoned ground pork, I crave it constantly. The Lao Beef Salad is the crown jewel of the menu, chock full of fresh tasty veggies, topped with thin sliced beef and a bonkers-delicious sauce that is so perfectly savory and flavorful! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! The iced tea drinks are balanced, fruity, refreshing. The basil seeds are a pleasant little textural delight! Please please go to this place!!! read more

This was on my list to visit while staying in Waianae after reading the great reviews. We had the shrimp & pork summer rolls, sticky rice with taro wrapped in banana leaves, blue papillon flower tea, sorrel flower tea & Thai coffee. The teas were so good & refreshing... and tasted fresh & healthy too - not overly sweet. Both food items were excellent! The owner was so nice, and gave us a free sticky rice. We came in at a busy time and weren't expecting to wait as long as we did (about 20 minutes), but didn't mind as it only meant that the food & drinks are freshly made. Do it give it a try! read more

Lao Sticky Rice - Pork shrimp combo summer roll - Laotian Near Me - Waianae, Hawaii

I've been here a few times and everything has been great! Fresh produce: I love the options and prices! They always have a nice variety, but I have been there when there was limited options. So if your looking for something particular I would call. Potatoes, apple bananas, cilantro, avocado, tomotes, green beans, green peppers, and more. Drinks: my favorite is the pineapple tea. The large is a lot so it's good to share or leftovers. It is sweet but I like that! And the diced pineapple is amazing! The brown sugar with boba very sweet! But so good! Again the bigger size is a lot for me to finish. Food: I love the summer rolls and the peanut sauce is the best I've had! The sandwich was good, fresh topping and bread. It took me two tries for a sandwich because they ran out of bread. As I mentioned, if you have your mind set on something give them a call. Overall, it doesn't seem you can go wrong here! Great options and fresh food! Check them out on insta for hours and updates. read more

Saw this place and ventured in and wow I love it. They had vegetables and some fruit. But I got the purple drink because of my blood pressure and my bf got the popular pineapple! Fresh, organic and we'll made drinks and even they're food items as well. All the ladies was so helpful when I had questions about the tea's! read more

Yummy! This place just opened in between Jeans Warehouse and the Chinese takeout place at Waianae Mall. There is also a lot of parking. When you walk inside, they have distance stickers on the ground. There's a limit of 10 people inside. They sell vegetables like a farmers market and Laotian food. I bought a shrimp summer roll ($7.50) and a small Maui Gold Pineapple Honey Tea ($6.00). The tea was really good. It wasn't overwhelming, it was just right. I would definitely come back to try their other teas. The service was great, there wasn't customers inside when I went. It was quick and they were nice. I would definitely be back. read more

This is my go to stop for lunch in Waianae. Best tofu summer rolls, pumpkin curry and papaya salad. Super sweet staff and buy veggies there too. read more

I want to let everyone know they close mon-Friday at 4:30pm. I confirmed this with the owner this week I came in at 4:25 and the owner was packing everything up. I showed her on yelp the time is 5pm, but she doesn't have access to the yelp account only Instagram and Facebook. She still let me come in and I bought the same things I always do. I always buy the cassava mochi, seafood salad, crispy apple banana and taro chips. Also for refreshment I order the boba pavilion blue tea it is so yummy. They sell vegetables too if you need tomatoes, papayas, potatoes, and Apple bananas. read more

This place is really yummy! I tried that roast pork in the bun. Delicious! And the cold noodle chicken salad dish. Winnah! Also, the Thai salad is good and this sticky rice things, banana and Ube flavor, both are just great. This place is ranking at the top tier for the west side eateries in my opinion. The pricing is a little steep but it is so worth it. read more

Went in for boba tea and mango sticky rice. They were out of boba so we got the rice and then got a banh mi sandwich as well as some chicken spring rolls. All were very good. We also bought some of their noodles to try at home back on the mainland. read more

Lao Sticky Rice - Blue tea! So refreshing! - Laotian Near Me - Waianae, Hawaii

I showed up to this place right at 9am, hungry and ready to order. I was disappointed as they had a sign that said they wouldn't be open until 12pm on that day. That didn't discourage me and I went back in the afternoon around 2pm. I ordered the papaya salad, beef salad, pate sandwich, pineapple honey tea, banana sticky rice and taro sticky rice. Their sticky rice was amazing. 5/5 they were perfect blend sweetness from the rice to the banana. I was born in Burma and I haven't had that type of dessert since I've been back. And it was great! Their beef salad was so so. 3/5 It lacked taste and did not kick a punch. I expected Lao salads to be full of fermented shrimp paste, fish sauce, spices, and sourness. But it was none of that. I was very disappointed. I had to go home and add more salt to it and more hot sauce. Their papaya salad was also a disappointment. 1/5 Contrary to all the other reviews, It didn't taste like much at all. Their shrimp tasted old, their papaya tasted chemically. And overall a bad experience. The container also leaked onto my lap as I was eating due to a crack on the bottom. We had to throw it away immediately. Their pate sandwich was 3/5. The fillings were good but the bread could've been more toasted and less stale. Their tea was a bit on the sweater side than I would've liked. 3/5 I really wanted to like this place and to come back for more. It seems that all the past reviews has oversold this place a bit. read more

I was so excited to see a new spot for summer rolls open in Waianae. I had to go check it out ASAP! Lao Sticky Rice is located in the Waianae Mall where the tackle shop used to be. Half of the shop holds fresh vegetables and the other half is where the food is. If you are familiar with Waianae Farmers market you will be happy to know it is one of the vendors and her family that owns the business! The summer rolls were so crisp and refreshing along with the peanut sauce. They have a couple options other than shrimp as well... chicken, pork and I think tofu. I opted for the shrimp and chicken. So good! I also ordered 3 taro mochi in banana leaves and a sorrel flower tea. I honestly thought I would eat just one of the mochi but I had to have another one! The tea was cinnamony and sweet with a touch of ginger. Move over Starbucks tea, this is now my new favorite! If you're in the Waianae area and are looking for a delicious snack or tea definitely check them out! read more

As much as possible I want to support local businesses so I noticed their sign "fresh vegetables " so I thought I should check them out and these are the same vendors I use to buy from at Waianae Makeke open market but since covid began the Mekeke open market stopped but I'm glad I found them because their vegetables are home grown locally. They also had a snack area with Lao sandwich & different salads & desserts and let's not forget their teas. Today I decided to have their sandwich & dessert. The gal also mentioned that they have daily specials. So stop by & support local. read more
