    So delicious! The inside was small but comfortable. My husband and I split 3 items (2 starters, 1 wok item) which ended up being the perfect portion to share. I loved the crispy rice appetizer with the lettuce wraps, it was really good. The fish sauce that came with the spring rolls had a great flavor. Service was nice and fast. Will definitely be back!

    The wings were great!! The burgers were very good too! Unique flavor, it sort of tasted like Frosted Flakes?! lol Service was awesome! Very nice and quick. I ate at the wondering leaf brewery, which is always a fun vibe!! Especially on the weekend!

    Naem Khao - crispy rice salad
    Pammmarie N.

    Was on the hunt for some Lao food while visiting MSP. After reading the reviews, we made our way here. Upon arrival, they were out of Lao sausages, which I was so excited to try. Decided to order the pork belly, and it was also out. They recommend trying their Lao-style short ribs so we went with that and also ordered their Naem Khao dish. They were friendly and helpful here and more of a cute takeout place than a sit down spot. The Lao-style short ribs were good. The fish sauce flavor was coming through, but not strongly, just enough to heighten the umami level a few notches. I would recommend this for anyone to order if the Lao sausage and Pork Belly menu items are out. I was a little undecided if I liked their version of Naem Khao or not. Could be just preference on my end, however, it seemed to be missing cilantro and peanuts in the actual rice mix. Yes, there was cilantro as a garnish, but none in the mix. I wouldn't have been mad if they added mint also. My guess would be that they are probably trying to be more in line, flavor wise, with the demographic of the city. It was still good, but missing a few flavor profiles that go hand in hand with this dish. Still would recommend if you're here.

    Seriously, so good! We grabbed food to go while we were hanging out at Wandering Leaf Brewery and were very impressed. The wings were crispy to perfection and so flavorful--even the cucumbers that come with the wings were delicious. You can't go wrong with the egg rolls; they were very good as well. The restaurant was small, but they do have a few tables if you want to eat there. The customer service was amazing, and we'll definitely be back to try more food.

    Fantastic service and cute little space and plenty of parking. My partner got the KMG sandwich and I got the egg rolls and the khao mun ghai tod. The chicken in the sand which and the rice dish were a little too salty for my liking, so I had to tone them down a little with the rice and some of the sauce to balance it out. The rice was really well flavored and the egg rolls were delicious. I would give it another go to see how the other dishes on the menu are.

    Ambience was small yet eclectic. Service was quick and accommodating. And the food. The food was fun to explore. I went with a friend. And I was impressed especially by the O.G. Wings, Egg Rolls, and the Lao Smash Burger. The Crispy Rice wasn't a particular favorite of mine yet I found I'm not a fan of crispy rice, yet the flavors were there in every dish and the sauces that came with them.

    Heard about this place from numerous posts via Instagram and Facebook, so I had to try! It was definitely worth the hype! First off, plenty of parking as it's located in a strip mall, so you'll be all good there. Upon my arrival, I was greeted quickly, kindly, and told my food would take 15-20 mins to complete. I was told the brewery next door would allow me to bring my food in and to have a beer as I waited. I thought that was a great addition to the experience! Side note, the Wandering Leaf Brewing Company was fantastic and beautiful inside! My food was completed on time and it was delicious! I ordered some crispy rice w/pork, egg rolls, and my gf got their wings, and mango sticky rice. Everything tasted completely fresh, flavorful, and even the foods appearance looked great! Overall, food came out timely, fresh tasting, delicious aroma, and very nice staff inside. - Anthony

    Smashburger and wings. Awesome!!

    Great takeout Asian food right next to Wandering Leaf Brewery. Highly recommend ordering food from here and bring next door for cold beer! The soul Lao smashburger and KFC chicken sandwich were both 10/10.

    Greeted right away, cashier was very friendly and helpful with their food items. Small location but still some seating and I heard lots of people grab food to go and sit next door at the brewery which is a great idea. Ordered several items photoed below. All the food was very flavorful, rich with umami! Favorites were the OG Wings and Lao Style Ribs. The only miss was the Moo Pin pork belly. It was not served hot and the skin was not as crispy. Good flavor but had higher expectations. Definitely would try the rest of their menu!

    Sausage with tomato jeow
    Tippy P.

    I've visited them once a while back when they had the food truck. I finally made it to their actual restaurant. It's really cute, next to the Wandering Brewery. The guy was very helpful with the menu. I wanted to eat the pork belly and checked to see if anymore was available, he confirm there are. So we added an order of the sausages. both came with a small container of sticky rice and jeow tomato. Spicy tomato sauce for dipping. Once I picked up my order, they were out of the pork belly. He refunded the amount charged and gave me an order of chicken wings to accommodate. They were delicious. Sausage was really good too, full of herbs and flavors.

    O.G. wings
    Michaela S.

    Amazing food, super friendly staff - a must try! I ordered the O.G. wings, Naem Khao (Crispy Coconut Rice), Noakeo's Eggrolls, and Garlic noodles. My favorites were the wings and noodles. Both had a perfect balance of sweet and savory and even a little bit of spice. The rice was good, but crispy rice isn't my favorite thing. Delicious flavor and generous servings. We ate next door at wandering leaf which had lots of seating and I highly recommend digging in there. On Wednesdays, they have a deal where you can get 3 pieces of chicken wings instead of 5 and $2 off a beer for a reduced price. It was a little pricey, but I'd give it a try at least once.

    Food: 3.5/5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 4/5 stars Friendly service was greeted right away at the door. Cashier asked if I had any questions about the menu to ask. Which everything on the menu was self explanatory except for the crab Rangoon where I didn't know that it was a dip. But nonetheless was delicious.

    This is primarily a takeout place parking is pretty good since it is in a strip mall with a large parking lot. The ambiance for pick up was very good. The place is nicely decorated making it feel homey and clean. There were 2 tables so limited seating, but you can go next-door to the brewery if you want to sit and eat. Service was very good - online ordering was very easy and it was ready when I got there by the time and the food was still hot by the time I got home! The food: Egg rolls - a must get. Perfectly small compact portions that pack a nice flavorful bite. Chicken skewers - this was the best thing of all things that we tried. The chicken was perfectly spiced and was juicy and felt like a good deal for $14 Crispy pork belly - this was very yummy and the green sauce was a little spicy, overall I did not feel like this was worth $23. Pork belly is very rich and fatty and really you should only have a few pieces. It was good and I'm not sure where else you would get this so it's worth a try. It comes with white sticky rice, which was also good but if you just have a bite with spicy sauce, one piece of pork belly and the rice, it feels a little bit dry and bland and spicy! Chicken noodle dish - oh man this was life-changing and if you're going to get an entrée get this great portioning for $20. I've never tasted anything quite like this. The flavors were very bold. Only complaint a little greasy but really amazing and would get this again. There is also a side of sticky rice pictured for $5 and I thought that it would go with the chicken skewers but overall I think you can just skip this.
