    Pad Thai
    Janet D.

    Super impressed with this place! Place was somewhat difficult to spot as the name is on the window and was partially covered by the cars parked in front of it. From the moment we walked, we felt at home. Mama Lao greeted us with a smile and offered a menu. There was no separate drink menu but she mentioned what was available. No alcoholic beverages available but the Thai tea was amazing - sweetened with palm sugar so it gave it a distinctive flavor. Appetizer - crab rangoon were good but the fresh rolls were delicious. My dish was the pineapple fried rice is one of the best I've tried - loved the fresh pineapple. And it was an enormous serving! Partner tried the pad Thai and basil fried rice and was very pleased with them. Service was outstanding and even got some free cookies and Asian candy. Mama Lao was super nice and treated us as if we had been dining at her home. Chef came out and chatted as well. It was nice to hear their story. We visited at a time when there was one a couple of other tables dining. There was some background music playing. We will be back soon!

    Mama Lao's hospitality truly made our experience. She was so welcoming and treated us like our kids. I felt like I was eating at an auntie's house! The portions are HUGE and the food is tasty. I recommend the pad kra pao, but I would honestly reorder any of the dishes we tried this time.

    Pad Thai and good times.

    I have left several reviews already but I can't stress enough how good this place is. This is not only the best Thai in this area but this is simply the best food around. There is no other establishment making food this good and with the level care for the customers. Always super friendly, super gracious, super on-point. Everything here is simply awesome and the pad Thai and Kra Pao are phenomenal.

    We had a great time at Sanouk Lao & Thai eats. The crab rangoons were very good, the portions were huge for the food being reasonably priced. The owner was unbelievably sweet and kind. The menu was very authentic and service was efficient. We will definitely be coming back! Great vibes all around.

    Mama Lao, in front, owner of SaNouk's, just after our anniversary celebration.

    We love this restaurant so much that we celebrated our 30th anniversary here! Mama Lao, the owner, did a traditional Thai anniversary ceremony for us. She explained the meaning behind each element of the ceremony. She also played traditional anniversary and wedding songs, translating for us as they went along, and even joined in the dancing. She has such a big heart! The food, as always, was amazingly delicious. We tried some new dishes this time, and everything was terrific. Even the sweet and sour chicken, a standard dish in many restaurants, was next-level. The chicken was so crispy and the sauce so flavorful that it's my new gold standard against which all other sweet and sour chicken will be judged. Huge portions also. As the evening was winding down, Mama Lao presented us with a delicious dessert on the house and sent us home with even more food. We won't forget our fantastic evening!

    Crab Rangoons- 10/10. It tastes and looks like homemade. We were happy with all our food. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back!

The sprouts were just right and managed to avoid the overly chewy texture a brussel sprout salad can sometimes have. The whole thing was creamy yet light and the cashew flavor was fantastic. This is a new favorite salad. I'd been eying their street carrots for a while. I believe they used to have a Moroccan version I missed but the Argentinian ones they have now with chimichurri sauce were awesome - warm and comforting. The Thai style noodles had a great combo of ingredients, though the noodles were a smidge al dente for my taste and I prefer a less tart sauce. I did love the combination of tofu and peanuts. I hope to try more things on the menu, especially the KFC (cauliflower sandwich) I keep hearing about. I will probably have to repeat that brussel sprout salad every time though! The seating was surprisingly generous - both a table section and a large window counter area. You order at the counter and there is a convenient self service water area. They brought out our order quite quickly to where we were sitting and the self bussing was easy. There is also a grab and go cooler section with meals, sides, cookies and drinks. Truly a great find - and so nice to leave a place feeling you ate healthy!

The Laotian curry noodle soup, all the larbs and larb adjacent dishes, the tapioca balls etc are fantastic and unique. If you like spicy, they do it for real here. I can eat almost anything and normally order maximum heat level wherever I go, but 4/5 is all I'm willing to go here. It's the real deal. They even sell their own home made chile powders and sauces (cash only for the condiments). They have a full bar, and the service is friendly. Looks like a family run place with the younger people in the front of the house and a kitchen full of grandmotherly women. As it should be.

Restaurant felt like a local neighborhood spot for local families to come in and have dinner. About 9-10 tables. I called ahead and informed them that we had a party of 7-8 coming in. The front desk guy was super cool! Great customer service. He accommodated us and things were set up quick. He said over the phone he would take care of us and he did. Appreciate you! Food 4/5 - it was my first time having Nam Khao at a restaurant. Other previous times have been home made. I'm not sure how I feel about paying $19 for this dish lol it was a good portion but a little hefty. The wings were good but I still prefer Simply Khmer. My wife had pad thai and requested it to be extra spicy. In our experience at other restaurants, when you ask for spicy, it's never spicy. Lanxang does it spicy and we quickly figure that out lol it still packed a good punch of flavor! Overall, I would come back to try their other dishes. I want to try their papaya salad and boat noodle soup. Will definitely come back!
