Updated review for a lunch experience here at Ly's. Things…read morehave changed so much! There is still still an entire wall of refrigerated goods. 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.

The portions are very generous with a huge side bowl of rice. The rice is fresh and cooked right. The Ka Prow had the right flavors, the chicken was very generous.

I went with my go to Thai dish, which is Pad Thai with tofu. Pretty good. I went a little high on the spice, and it was perfect. A little spicier than I was expecting, which was great. I typically go a little lower, on the spice, at a new place, and some of the reviews had me worried, but it was fine. Perhaps the Lao influence, but it was quite a bit different than most Pad Thai I have had, and I liked it quite a bit. Since we were the first ones in, service was great.

It was my first time, so they explained some of the dishes to me which was really helpful. I have an egg allergy and made that comment that I needed the egg be held out. Unfortunately, my noodles came with eggs. Another thing I didn't want was any spice, but I ended up getting a fairly spicy dish. They ended up remaking my food with no egg, but it still came out spicy. The restaurant is very nice and clean inside. I'll come back and try them again one day, but I'll need to be sure to get zero spice and zero egg.

Yelp didn't lead me here, it was the local Thai community that highly spoke of this place. I still checked to make sure the comments were on par with the word of mouth. This is a hole in the wall an unassuming place. Order at the counter and they will bring the food out to you. People come here for a quick authentic meal and items are self-service. They are also a small mini mart and have a variety of cooked and raw ingredients for you to take home. Everything is made to order. I watched them cooked things fresh and their kitchen is visible from the dining area. The key items which I really enjoyed: fried chicken skins, lao style pho, lao style papaya salad. The flavors were all there and their spice level 3 on a scale of 5 is pretty good in my book. Also highly recommended is the lao style coffee.

I ordered the bubur ayam, which is basically this warm, golden rice porridge topped with shredded chicken, a boiled egg, crispy fried shallots, and green onions, with a little cup of sambal on the side. If you're American and trying to wrap your head around it, think somewhere between chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes -- total comfort food, but better. The broth had this deep turmeric flavor that I was not expecting and honestly couldn't stop eating. Everything tasted like someone's grandma made it, which is exactly what you want from a mom and pop spot like this. The portions were generous, the price was right, and the people running it were so nice and clearly proud of what they're serving.

We started with an appetizer we hadn't tried before called batagor, which is essentially deep-fried fish cake. It was so good with the peanut sauce! Very savory and delicious. We also ordered a rice plate called nasi padang. The beef stew was cooked to perfection, and the jackfruit soup that came with it was warm and hearty. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side. We came on a weekday for a late lunch, so it wasn't too busy. It shares a parking lot with other businesses in the same block, and we were able to park easily for free. Overall, we had a great experience! My boyfriend even said he definitely wants to come back!
