I'm going to make this quite simple; I really like Niran's Kitchen. Clean, comfortable, good decor, family run making an excellent product at a decent value. Is there anything else you need to prompt you to visit? We started with Thai Iced Coffee and Tea, which were delicious. For apps we opted to try the Crispy Egg Rolls and Fried Pork Riblets, both were accompanied by the house made Chili sauce...both excellent. Let's just add it now that all sauces are housemade as are some of the noodles. The Tom Kha soup with chicken was very tasty. My daughter had the Garlic Stir-fry with Tofu and loved it. My wife loved the Pad Kee Mao with chicken. I had the Rama Duck, which was absolutely crispy crunchy even under the best and brightest peanut sauce I've ever had. Bottom line...this Laotian Thai gem is worth driving from outside the Boca Deerfield area to try. read more

We had never eaten Laotian food before, so we enjoyed this new experience. It's very good--similar to other Asian cuisines. The service was excellent. The food was good. The atmosphere was nothing special. The price was higher than expected. read more

This is an overdue review I wanted to share with everyone. I came here a few weeks back because my BFF who happens to be Laotian wanted to try it out. It was a quiet weeknight after a down pour so the place was pretty empty. The waitress there was so nice and chatted it up with us like we were regulars even though it was our first there there. They specialize in Lao food but also offer Thai dishes as well. We did notice that they have a sushi bar but I don't think they offer sushi anymore because the sushi bar area didn't look active. As for the food, I do have to say, every dish we ordered I absolutely loved. My BFF did all the ordering so I can't recall all the dish names. But I know we had the chicken wings, papaya salad, laab, mango sticky rice, tom yum soup, and pork riblets to name a few. Highly recommend. read more

What a fantastic find! The homemade noodle soup is something special--the broth was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice, and the fresh herbs added a wonderful aroma. The Pad Thai was just as great, not too sweet, with perfectly cooked noodles and a generous portion of fresh veggies. The service here is warm and welcoming, making the dining experience even better. It's a small spot, but that just adds to the charm read more

We had an amazing dinner here. My husband and I are big Thai - Asian foodies so to find Laotian & Asian Cuisine so close to home is definitely a score! Located in a strip shopping center on Federal Hwy just south of Hillsboro on the right hand side, this hidden gem is in between Pet Supermarket and Pet Vet. The GPS originally took us to the Shell station and then to the back of the shopping center, so if this happens to you keep trying because you dont want to miss a meal here. The staff is so nice and attentive. The owner, who is also the chef came to the table to introduce herself. She's so nice and an amazing chef who takes pride in everything she cooks and serves. Now for the food: Started with Tom Yom Soup with Seafood. The soup had the perfect combination of sour and spicy with hints of lemongrass add in the mushrooms, shrimp, scallops and calamari and it was special. Beef Lemongrass was 4 skewers of tender beef that melted in your mouth and served with homemade peanut sauce. Drunken Noodles were a highlight. We ordered it with shrimp and it came with fresh vegetables. They make their own noodles and this dish should not be missed. If you're looking for something new and want to support local, do yourself a favor and put this restaurant on your list. I can't say enough good things about it and I can't wait to go back, and go back again and again!!! read more

Omg the food was so good. Lao food is really similar to thai food with a couple minor differences in terms of like main dishes! The yellow curry, pad khi mao and the chicken salad were all really good! The skewers are also bomb! The service was awesome despite having such a large group show up (we were an FAU club) and ugh, truly spectacular! Really loved this place and am for sure coming back! read more

hidden gem. they make their own noodles and sausage. I really don't know what they put in the sausage but it's heavenly. ( to die for I think they could sell it to other 5 star more predominant locations.) Anyway I love the service. They customize the dish for ingredients and spice level. Super personable. I learned some differenves about Laos and Berma. They have nice seats and decor and play a video about Laos. Or was an experience. It's nice that they really listen to what you're wanting and explain everything patiently. I got the sai gol fried rice ( homemade sausage) paired well with the papaya salad ( don't get if you don't like tomatoes) spice level 2.5 for us. We missed out on the Laab ( sw as larvae) chicken. I will be back for lunch so i can ride the wave and try it. They have shrimp Laab. Hubby loved the home made noodles pad see ew was perfect read more

Decided to stop by and try something new. I live in plantation/davie but my gym is located right across the street. I was in between the yellow curry and mango curry as those are two dishes I don't normally find in Thai restaurants. There were other Laotian dishes that looked fantastic and will try in the future. Mango curry was fantastic. Loas dessert with banana taro and sweet potato was also fantastic paired with the chocolate sauce. Staff was so so so nice and I cannot wait to be back! read more

OMG!!!!!! Can't say enough good stuff about this absolutely yummy spot. First off, amazingly fresh food served by a kind & knowledgeable staff. We started with the egg rolls which were fried to perfection and too delicious!!! We need more! We had an amazing red curry, that was as good as what I experienced living in SE Asia, perhaps a first since being back in the states. We followed up with a Pad see ew, which was made with homemade wide rice noodles and was AWESOME!!! We will be back SOOOOOOON read more

We found this restaurant during our little staycation in Deerfield. I really enjoyed the unique and authentic flavors of Laos. The dishes are freshly prepared and made to order. Green curry being one of my favorite preparations the chef (native Laotian) outdid herself. It amazing and I devoured every single morsel My husband ordered an appetizer, and because I didn't they offered me complimentary tart spring rolls ... who does that?! They were super crispy, seasoned slightly different than what we know, and I loved those! I wish this restaurant was a little closer, we would definitely be regulars. In summary: amazing husband and wife team, food to die for, and super friendly service. read more

Niran's Kitchen, 61 S. Federal Highway Deerfield Beach. Last night, after having a drink at the Tiki Bar in The Cove, we went to Niran's for dinner. It was quiet when we were there (around 6 PM) and we had a great experience. I am kicking myself for not visiting sooner, but whenever I saw the reviews, I sort of filed it away for the future. Without exception, this is the best Thai/Laotian food I have had in South Florida. The combination of the two cuisines is perfect. I find some Thai food a little too sweet and formulaic, but everything we had for dinner was outstanding. I first tasted Thai food when living and working in Washington, DC in 1981 and to say that it was a revelation is an understatement. DC was teeming with options from various parts of Asia and you could always find some little spot serving up Thai or Burmese or Laotian or Cambodian dishes. This is the DC equivalent of those places. But lately, there has been a trend for Thai restaurants to hedge their bets and call themselves Thai/Sushi and I absolutely hate it when I see a restaurant try and offer both, very disparate menu items. After so many disappointing Thai meals, I don't set foot in any restaurant that cannot make up their mind as to where they place their menu priorities. They readily admit to being more of a beer place than a wine place, but we had a great glass of Chardonnay (I think it was Chloe and it's a good match for the food because it's not overly oaky or buttery). We started with spicy bowls of the classic Thai soup, Tom Yum with shrimp. It was perfectly made and did not have a bunch of chewy and woody stuff floating around in it. Just identifiable vegetables and aromatics and shrimp. I used to love Laarb, which is sort of a salad with delicious and light sauce and minced chicken. In classic Laarb, they don't use that ground stuff you see in Publix. Real Laarb features minced chicken breast cooked with spices and placed on top of the onions and greens. It's addictive, if done correctly. Niran's version is authentic (well, MY interpretation of authentic because it's savory and not sweet) and we ate every bit of it. It was very hard to decide between our next selection because we were torn between trying something new or seeing how they did with another classic that is often ruined by the substandard Thai restaurants in the area. We went with the Drunken Noodles because the noodles are made in-house. There are some options to add, such as shrimp, chicken, pork, etc. Okay, I'll lose a few people here, but while I am not a vegetarian and generally eschew anything that is remotely healthy, I love tofu. Yes, I do. But I don't like it fried. So, I asked if it could be steamed before being incorporated into the dish and the answer was, of course, yes. When the dish arrived, it was absolutely perfectly spiced, and I came very close to ordering a second one. But we were really full and had somewhat foolishly sampled from the spicy condiment tray they provided, so I kind of felt like I'd had my quota of hot food for the night. But again, it needed nothing, you don't need those fiery little condiments! The meal was under $100, which included 2 Chardonnays apiece. I don't know what I did with the receipt, but I remember it was around $90. I live about 6 miles from Niran's and I cannot believe I waited this long to eat there. The husband-and-wife team that run it are truly caring and I'm already planning my next visit. NOTE--I also posted a similar review in the Let's Eat South Florida FB page. read more

I have stopped by Nirans on two separate occasions. Both times were during their posted hours of operation and both times they had their front door locked. No sign of why they weren't open. I promise I will not give this place another chance. How can you be closed without any notice as to why? read more

We had a wonderful lunch here today added to by the warm and welcoming personality of the owner, Vatsana. We learned about her background and how the restaurant was founded. It's named after her son, who sadly passed away. The restaurant was just featured in the local newspaper's food section regarding new and "now open" restaurants. It is "undiscovered" at the moment, so take advantage and go now. Although the name says sushi, the chef they had originally hired left. That being said, I'd order the Laotian and Thai food, anyway. Spices are a bit different in food from Laos and there are a number of new to Americans offerings, but the Thai namesakes will be familiar enough -- even if you are not adventurous. We started with a couple soups. He had their Tom Kha soup. That's the one with a coconut based broth. There were lots of mushrooms and scallions in it along with his chosen protein - shrimp. To make it up to your spice level, just add some hot oil as desired. I had their version of won ton soup. It was largely broth -- made flavorful with the addition of dried fried garlic -- and 2 pork filled dumplings along with tiny bits of veggies. I also tried their beef with lemongrass appetizer. This is a Lao meat satay with thinly sliced cooked beef (instead of chicken) served on bamboo skewers. There were 4 to the order. The dish came with two dipping sauces -- a sweet one and a peanut based one. I alternated both. We also tried their pork riblets -- marinated Laotian style then deep fried. These were addictive. They were served with a sweet sauce with red pepper flakes. We both agreed we'd order this choice again, definitely. I'm sure we will return again for another good meal and to explore more Laotian cuisine. read more

Food was delicious! We met the chef and Alejandro was very friendly and recommended the perfect dishes. He

The food was outstanding and our server was friendly. The kids "working" were doing a great job, too. Cute and well behaved. My only complaint was the food took forever to get and my boyfriend was almost finished by the time I received my order. None of this mattered because the food was so delicious we would have waited all day!!! We dined on a Tuesday and it was very slow and for two people less than $40. We will be back.....BEWARE, the hot stuff in the metal container is SPICY! We both laughed and cried from the initial kick lol read more

And really clean bathrooms (runny nose due to the great sauces!). Put this on your list!! read more

Great food, extremely friendly staff, and excellent service, will more could you want? Personally, I ordered the Tom Kah and the Panang curry. Both were definitely good enough to order again next time. The Tom Kah was especially nice, as it was a bit different than the norm and had a nice little zing to it. Not a spicy zing, more of a balance at leaning towards a fish sauce flavor and away from being too heavy-handed with coconut milk. Don't get me wrong, I like it the other way as well, but it was a nice change of pace when you order it all the time. Both of the folks there (I believe they were both owners, but I could be wrong) were very friendly and pleasant to chat with. Nice chill ambiance too. All in all, an extremely enjoyable meal, and I'm sure I'll be back there soon. read more

Employee was thoughtful! I wanted the curry noodle soup (Khao Poon) but was going to order something different when I found out it was made with chicken broth. Then he offered to make it without the chicken broth even though it was a little more work! I just appreciated that they offered that because I wouldn't have minded getting another dish but was really excited about that one specifically. AND it was super delicious :) read more

This was first my time dining at Niran's Kitchen and I liked everything about the restaurant. Easy parking, nice service, friendly owner and most importantly good food. I think I had the best Chow Fun dish I've ever had and usually this noodle can stick together or prepared incorrectly but here it was great. Combine that with a good light sauce and this was a winner. Shrimp Fried Rice was good and though it is a basic dish it was still a step up from most versions. A Chicken with Cashew Nuts would have been excellent had it not been for chicken that was a little dry. No big deal really and I'm looking forward to returning. read more

This is a kind, authentic experience in a low key atmosphere. Attention to detail, delicious food, conscientious service.

The food is always amazing here and i can never not have the mango sticky rice. I always order the pho which is really good as well.

I had dinner here with a group from church. Everyone agreed it was an unassuming restaurant, (in fact it has no big sign, so it is difficult to find) but the food and the service were excellent. I had the crispy egg rolls. They were smaller in size than egg rolls I have had in Asian restaurants. However they were absolutely delicious along with the accompanying sauce. The tom kha soup was good too, although it was too sweet for my taste. Finally, I had the house fried rice. I was expecting something similar to Chinese fried rice. It was totally different and much better! The grains of rice were soft and moist, and the ingredients, including shrimp, were very flavorful. The service was very good, and friendly too. Our waiter was of Mexican heritage. We asked him what part of Laos he was from. He replied, "The MEXICAN Part!" We had a good laugh about that and proceeded to enjoy our meal. read more

Niran's Kitchen has only been here for about three months. It already has a following. The food is Asian, mostly Laotian and Thai. The restaurant is small and appears to be very clean. They have tables and booths. Even the woman's rest room glistens. Clyde and I decided to order several different dishes to share . We shared Tom yum soup with chicken, Panang curry, larb, and drunken noodles, I said I didn't want my food to be too spicy, It was served just the way I asked for it. Everything we ordered was delicious. I love Thai food and this was close to Thai with a few shuttle differences. For one thing Thai food seems to have more sauces. The server, I think she was also the owner, brought a tray with different hot sauces. I tasted one of the hot sauces. Delicious but too hot for more then a taste. During our meal the server/owner told us all about the restaurant and Laotian food. She was very nice and went out of her way to be helpful, I'm hoping this restaurant will be a big success. read more

Pad thai had what I think was too much fish sauce. Tom Kha soup had bell peppers in it which made it taste awful. Larb/Laap had far too much mint leaves. read more

Delicious and such friendly service! Recently went with friends and they did not rush us off (we were catching up and stayed for awhile!) The dishes were yummy, and chef came out humbly to ask if we were enjoying which we did. She was so cute. The Pad See Mao (?) 'drunken noodles' were amazing (noodles are house made!), spring rolls were crispy and definitely good but weren't super unique. Chicken satay was moist and tasty, and sai gok housemade sausage - wow, such different spices and flavors including mint. The lemonade had lime, simple syrup, ginger and honey - very tart and sweet but good. And for dessert we had Lao fried taro, sweet potato and banana with chocolate sauce - the batter had what looked like black sesame in it and was nice and crispy (not a huge fan of the taro and the sweet potatoes were good but reminiscent of sweet potato fries so to me, the banana was the best). Definitely try it! I'm looking forward to going back and trying something else. :) read more

Niran's Kitchen Laotian Restaurant. Some of the best Northern Thai and Lao food I've ever had. It's been open for a month, and it is already the best Thai restaurant in Deerfield. You MUST go. Ordered: Fried Meatballs. Really good. Great zesty fish sauce and chili dip, slightly sweet. Sakoo Yat Sai: Pork, Radish, and Peanut Stuffed Tapioca Dumplings with Fried Garlic. Super good. Thum Mak Hoong: Lao Papaya Salad. Excellent version. Crab Fried Rice: So much lump crab in this. Amazing. Ga Prao Moo: They did not use holy basil in this, but it's still a very respectable version. Larb Shrimp: we got this last, we were already pretty full. Fantastic flavor on this. Second visit: Lemongrass beef: Very tender, excellent lemongrass flavor. Sai Gok: fermented pork sausage, this one imported from Rhode Island, very meaty, great with the "jeow" a condiment with tomato, scallions, fresh green chilies, and fish sauce. It's exceptional; I could put this on a burger or a hot dog. Beef jerky: this is chewy but has great flavor--fried beef, with unusual spicing. Sticky rice: You eat this with your hands and the salads and grilled appetizers--a staple of Lao meals, one of the significant differences between this cuisine and Thai. Nam Khao: technically listed as a lettuce wrap, but this is an unusual fried rice dish made with broken rice with shredded coconut, fermented pork (kind of like a ham), peanuts, cilantro, and scallions. I haven't had anything like this in SoFL. Rachel thought the thing sticking up the middle of the dish was a green bean and popped it in her mouth and crunched on it. It is, in fact, a green bird chile. Khao Poon: A popular Lao chicken curry noodle soup, with bean sprouts, with a light coconut base using red curry. This one has rice noodles in it. Really good. Owners Chris and his wife Vatswana are very hospitable, super nice people. The restaurant is named for their late son, Niran. Photographed: birds nest, Pad Thai (with some portioned out) They originally planned to have sushi as they took over a Japanese restaurant space, but the chef bolted. They do NOT need sushi with such a large Thai/Laotian menu, and I think they aren't going to do it after speaking with them. They may keep the poke dishes which are not hard to do. They plan to do lunch and specials soon. read more

My partner said the pad kee mao really hit the spot and the portion was great! I HIGHLY recommend you stop by and try their laotian food.

We were in Deerfield Beach looking for a place for a late lunch, and we found Niran's close by. Parking was real easy, and we were seated right away. It was a hot day so the fresh cool coconut water in the actual coconut was just what we needed. We had a great seafood dish with amazing sauce and papaya salad. The owner came and greeted us and made sure all of our food was to our liking. We were very satisfied and full after eating everything we were served.

The ambiance was very nice. There were about 10 spacious tables, and the seats were comfortable. They had a huge l-shaped sushi bar, but that was closed. Now the important stuff: The food was great! The curry was flavorful with a wide range of spice levels. We started with hot sake, Golden Triangles, and Crab Rangoon. Both were hot and crunchy with sweet chili sauce. I got the Khao Poon curry noodle soup, and having never had it, it was absolutely delicious! I usually go for Tom Kha Gai or Panang Curry. It seems like some of those spices and flavor combos are also present in the Khao Poon. It did have some roasted chicken, which was tender, not dry. The veggies on top of the soup were crunchy, and the noodles were plentiful. Others in my group got Pad Thai and Vientian Duck. They enjoyed what they got very much. Service was friendly and courteous. I will be returning often when in need of Thai comfort food. read more

Went here after an event, the food was great and the service there was amazing. Would highly recommend this place

Service and food were not good. Service was very slow. It took forever (30 min) for waiter to come by to take our order, and then another 30 min + for food to be delivered at our table. When the food arrived, unfortunately it was not great. Fresh spring rolls looked like they were made by a child. The other dishes not great either. Looks like the place is severely understaffed and the customer "pays the price". There are much better Thai restaurants in the area so we won't be going back. read more
