    7. Fried Garlic Ribs
    Inglish R.

    It was my first time trying this spot and I must say it was pretty good. The servers were nice. The reviews did mention how dark it was inside and I would have to agree. Although it was a little darker than most restaurants I was still able to enjoy and see my food. Just use flash if you're taking any photos! Started off with the Thai Tea and wow it was 10/10. It was my first time having Thai tea and I absolutely loved it. I even ordered one to go! I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and medium heat. Just a heads up if you don't like spicy I would not recommend medium. It was pretty hot even though I am a spicy kinda gal. Probably why their name is spice it up -- they did not hold back. After a while though the spice went away. The garlic ribs were crispy and tasty. Also enjoyed the papaya salad with mild heat. Extremely fresh and crunchy.

    Soooo delicious! Got chicken pad se ew (idk if that's how to spell it) but it was soooo flavorful! Even without spicy! Mango sticky rice was good too! Love that they add lots of cream! Nice people too, fast service.

    2. Red Curry Noodle Soup
    Olivia F.

    10/10 I'm so happy we found this gem!!! We came here for an early Saturday dinner and sat ourselves. The staff were super friendly and attentive. We tried the garlic ribs appetizer, red curry Lao noodle soup with chicken, and pad see ew with chicken and tofu. The ribs were super sticky and flavorful, the portion size was appetizer appropriate. The red curry noodle soup was my favorite! It was so creamy and the noodles weren't soggy. We even took the last bits of soup home with us . The pad see ew was also amazing but on the sweeter side. The veggies were cooked perfectly and spice level can be adjusted. We already can't wait to come back!

    I ordered the seafood delight. No onions. When i say it was good..I mean I inhaled that plate. I'm sad I live an hour away but now I know my go to spot when I'm in town.

    We arrived on a Saturday evening and there was no wait at all. They seem to have more take-out orders than dine-in patrons. The food was delicious! Every item we ordered was extremely flavorful. Although I left with a full stomach, I still think that the portions could be a little bit bigger. The interior is also really clean and the host was extremely friendly. I will definitely be back again for more!

    1. Mango Coconut Rice
    Jessica G.

    My cousins took me here for my birthday yesterday. I have been craving Thai food that is fresh and yummy since I have moved from the South Bay. Well all I have to say that Nana who was our waitress was the sweetest!!! I love how she recommended certain things to enhance the flavors!!!!!!! The vibe was so chill and I just loved everything I had!!!! Thank you for everything that was yummy!!!! Will definitely make this my go to spot now

    1. Papaya Salad
    Mika Y.

    Went on a Monday afternoon for an early dinner. We were seated right away. My Grandma had a wheelchair and she was able to eat and reach the table so that was good. The restaurant is spacious and clean. Our server was very attentive and kind. Her service was amazing. We had a variety of dishes. My favorite is the Pad Thai. It's very flavorful and saucy. I give it a 10/10. The fried fish was delicious too. The grilled chicken was tasty as well with the sauce. The meal total was almost $150 because we also got desserts and drinks. Ask for less sugar on Thai Tea. Mine was super sweet so I had to add more water on my drink. I would come here if I want to splurge on a meal.

    2. Basil Fried Rice
    Timmy S.

    After so many years, I finally had the opportunity to try this spot out. Ohh man it hit the spot. Had the papaya salad, basil fried rice and the garlic bbq ribs which were so delicious. The service is also excellent and very caring. Feels like what you would expect at a Thai restaurant. Recommend the food

    Lao Sausage
    Savannah R.

    My friend and I visited Spice It Up! on Saturday, 11/11/23, during dinner time. We decided to order and share the Fresh Shrimp Roll, Chicken Pad Sa-Ew, Lao Sausage, Lao Noodle Soup, and Mango Sticky Rice. All of the food dishes were truly palatable and flavorful! The fresh roll was great, especially dipped into the peanut sauce. The pad se-ew noodles and veggies were on point. I loved the lemongrass flavor in the sausage. The noodle soup was tasty. Finally, the sticky rice had just the right amount of sweetness. I enjoyed how it wasn't overly sweet. It was adorable how it was presented in the shape of a heart. The service was decent; it could've been slightly more attentive. The inside of the restaurant was beautifully decorated. I will be returning to this restaurant and I recommend coming here!

Nestled in an unassuming strip mall flanked by a Subway and a Chinese takeout spot, this place will make you feel like you stepped into someone's home. A good selection of freshly prepared dishes means you can come here no matter your mood, and the service is top notch. Romano is prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu that Pat the head chef prepares and is patient when it comes to ordering, and prompt when it comes to serving. The portions are generous and the flavors are rich without being overwhelming, and Lao Der features unapologetically authentic Lao cuisine that is a rarity worth discovering. Whether you want a warm hearty soup, an easy noodle dish, or bright zingy salad, the menu has you covered. Clean, bright and relaxing, Lao Der is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner. Just come earlier than usual since the place closes at 8. Enjoy!

We received our drinks, but then watched as the tables next to us were served their food before us -- even though they arrived later. After waiting over 30 minutes, I politely asked the waitress what the issue was. Her response was that there were "a lot of things going on" and that we would just have to wait our turn. At that point, my coworkers and I decided to leave. It doesn't matter how good the food may be if the customer service is that poor. The overall atmosphere was unpleasant, the service was unacceptable, and I would not recommend this restaurant, especially during lunchtime. If I could give zero stars, I would.

So you'll walk up and order there. If you are eating there, they'll give you a number and you seat yourself, and they'll bring the food to your table. Water is self-service at the front. So we ordered two dishes to try - the noodle soup (pork) and the drunken noodles (chicken, mild). I thought both delicious were excellent, there was a lot of flavors and very delicious. I enjoyed everything. I felt like the restaurant feels like a good size but at the same time, it is a little small because the table are tables of 2-4 so it may be more cumbersome for a larger party. I imagine it can still work for a larger party by pushing tables together and using the stool/bench seating too. I didn't have any issue finding a spot to dine in for weekday lunch. I had to use the bathroom here, they are all-gender single stall restroom - surprisingly very clean. I was thrown off by the sinks which are located outside of the restroom instead of inside. Overall, it was a good experience and I definitely plan to re-visit when I am in this area!

Probably my favorite dish! Had multiple dishes to try. Added an extra wing (only comes with 2) - stuffed chicken wing: stuffed with lemongrass, ground pork and comes with white rice and papaya salad. First time eating a stuffed chicken wing and felt that the lemongrass really came through in the meat. - Khaw nee: a Lao stir fry noodle with sweet soy sauce toppings with eggs. First time having this noodle! I thought it was very flavorful and the eggs and noodles complimented each other very well. Hope to try their pad Thai another time. I think overall this meal was super flavorful and filling. We even had leftovers! For the price it was worth it. I don't think I've been to many Lao restaurants, so I am happy this one exists.
