A group of three of us dined in on a Saturday evening. We came in around 545 and it was pretty…read morebusy. We didn't wait too long to be seated - which was deceiving for the rest of our experience. We ordered a couple of apps, thai teas and entrees. The apps were forgettable with not a lot of flavor. The ratio of tea to cream left my friend disappointed. Overall the entrees were much better but flagging our waitstaff to order and for water refills was tiresome. There appeared to be one person taking orders and one person bussing. This was insufficient for a busy evening and we recognize that this happens but it didn't appear that this wasn't the norm based on the waitresses behavior. All in all this establishment may be better suited for a take out order when I'm visiting friends in the area vs dining in.

The heat is layered and intentional, and even the small detail of the hot pepper garden behind the restaurant adds to the sense that the kitchen genuinely cares about its craft. The only hesitation is the pricing, which trends noticeably high. Still, when the food carries this much flavor and character, it's easier to understand where the value comes from.

This spot is not much for ambience inside or outside but on the day of my visit they had brisk takeout and the dining room was packed...real quick. I'm sure a lot of folks go here for the Chinese menu items but I was there for the Lao goodies! They did not disappoint! We had the fried meat balls; a mixed app plate with chicken wings, Lao sausage, and beef jerky; lap beef; and a healthy serving of sticky rice (ok maybe we had 2 to sop up the lap beef). Flavors were on point. Medium spice had us excited and rolling at the same time as it got spicier throughout the meal for the lap...but it was so good! I can't wait to go back and try more! Service was friendly and attentive. Parking was easy since they have their own lot.

The Pad Phet was something totally new for me -- the crunch and lime really stood out in a great way. Lastly, the Lao fried noodles were tasty and satisfying. Overall, a great meal with lots of dishes worth coming back for.

The food was freshly made and the ingredients were fresh. I would definitely come back to try their curries. They are located in a strip mall and there is plenty of parking out front. I can't speak to a dine in experience but from my brief interaction with the folks out front, they were really friendly and kind. I will be back!

Very casual spot where you seat yourself in the restaurant of about 9-10 tables. We were waiting on quickly and the food looked great once but came out . I ordered the mango chicken as I've never seen on menu before and was not disappointed. Crispy and saucy which is exactly how I like it . Sauce flavor was a delight and it came with white rice which i upgraded to fried rice . Hubby got crab pad Thai and he really enjoyed it. He was pleased that it was real crab as well. He did ask for chili as he likes to add spice to everything. The appetizer crab Rangoon was on point as well and then we finished with mango sticky rice . My favorite dessert when available which was a tasty ending to a great meal. I'd definitely go back to try more dishes .

I enjoyed the easy reservation system and the friendly service. Our host and server were so kind. The steak skewers were the standout - very yummy, flavorful and tender. Eggrolls were pretty straightforward, so I would probably skip these next time. I loved the curry (Somlor Kari) cause it had all the flavors. Comes with bread to dip up all the yumminess! The Sach Ko Ang was good too - lots of smoky flavors - kinda like bbq. Large portion size for both but I never complain about this. Overall, great experience and happy with it all!

I'd never had Cambodian food and this was a wonderful way to experience it. To start, our server was excellent. I don't remember her name, but she was so energetic and funny and joyful. Cocktails were awesome as well, I could have stayed all night and drank through the menu. We had 4 people and did the family style meal. What a steal! We had sooooo much food. Let's see what I can remember... - The sauce with the bread service was divine - Chicken egg rolls were so yummy - The fried eggplant appetizer was honestly possibly my favorite dish of the night - Papaya salad was fresh and delicious, though it came with shrimp instead of the listed fried tilapia - 2 dips, one eggplant and one spicy pork, with a tray of fruits and veggies. I don't eat pork but I enjoyed dipping the mango in the spicy sauce around the pork. And the eggplant dip was like a baba ganoush but totally different flavor profile - really surprising - Salmon entree was YUM tied with the fried eggplant for my favorite dish - Chicken curry was lacking tbh, not nearly as good as the salmon and had no spice. Definitely get it with rice instead of bread We left absolutely stuffed. My only complaint is that we were really oversold on the "funk" and spice - our server talked a lot about things being fermented or sour or spicy or fishy, and we didn't really feel that with any dish. She got us hyped for an authentically funky experience, and while it was great food, it was definitely not funky...at least for an adventurous eater like me!
