We've been before and enjoyed their Lao papaya salad and crispy basil duck. We repeated the papaya salad this time, still among the best we've had. But wow, we tried the whole crispy red snapper, amazing! It was huge - my husband and I shared and still had leftover to take home. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient and we appreciate the laid back atmosphere. Glad we are locals and can go back again and again. read more

DELICIOUS!! This food is absolutely lovely. We had chicken satay for an appetizer. It was juicy and perfectly prepared. We also had a crystal salad with chicken that was spicy and delicious. The most unique dish was the chicken larb, made with ground chicken and a LOT of lime and fish sauce...it was amazing and low key addictive. It was a bit overwhelming for my husband, but I LOVED it!! We enjoyed the sticky mango rice for dessert. It was perfection. Give this place a try. The food is beautifully prepared and so unique read more

We at here last year, and it was delicious. It was one of two places we ate that we couldn't wait to go again. We drove about 30 minutes from North Myrtle Beach just to eat there. I'm still going with 4 stars. Our waitress was great. Staff were friendly. But the food just wasn't as good. Chicken had that reheated flavor, and the spice level was too low. Last year, the spice level was perfection, and the chicken tasted fresh. If you're in Myrtle and not North Myrtle, give them a try. We added the spring roll appetizer, and they were tasty. We just won't drive that far to eat this again. read more

One of the best Thai place in town. We ordered the hot basil fried rice, red curry with shrimp, and tom yum soup, and every dish delivered bold, authentic flavors. Incredibly flavorful and aromatic. If you're craving genuine Thai food, this place should be your first stop. We'll definitely be back! read more

Ordered, Pad Se Ew, Chicken satay, and Thai fried rice. 2 waters. Came out to 34.54, all fine and dandy. Came time for the bill I gave my card, the server could've been better through the night. She was rude, Dismissive and acted like me and my child were an annoyance. Even though my child was neither loud nor disruptive to anything in the restaurant. I put a 0 on the tip, and signed the receipt. I get a change on my account for 54.54$ today on my card! They charged me a 20$ tip when that was never given! Will never be giving my business here again. That is theft. read more

As an out of towner, this is a great hole in a wall must try! Everyone here is super friendly and welcoming. Decent variety of the menu items but ended up getting the yellow curry as my main dish. Great amount of spice, flavor, and came out hot! This is one of my go to curries and their's is delicious. Comes with a small portion of rice though, not sure if you can ask for more. I also couldn't go without trying their spring (summer) rolls for an app and a Thai tea. Love that it came with the traditional dipping sauce, as other Thai restaurants may provide peanut sauce; which is the norm that you see these days. read more

Came in for a later lunch after a fun day of golfing. Looked up online for a Thai restaurant to get some Mango Sticky Rice and saw that they did have it on there menu. The restaurant had a large group already eating there meal so I was able to order and get my meal brought out to me in a timely manner. I ordered the Red Curry with Beef, it was good, but would have liked it to be more spicier. The Mango Sticky Rice was really good though. The restaurant was clean and the wait staff was very attentive and refilled out iced teas quickly and often. Thank you for the great service. read more

Thai Lao is walking distance from Myrtle beach activity area, about 5 minutes walk. The restaurant has nice interior with Thai vibe integrated with the appearance. The menu is huge with all sorts of well known and popular Thai dishes. We started with the Tom yum soup with seafood. Really good soup, probably the best item of the night for me. Pad woo sen and calamari were also an excellent dish. The appetizer sampler was underwhelming, I felt the items could have been better. The waitresses were amazing, provided a very friendly and attentive service. Dishes were served without much wait. Overall it's a really good spot to have a good family meal. read more

Thai Lao was fantastic! The steamed dumplings were soft, flavorful, and perfectly made. The Thai Lao summer rolls were incredibly fresh and delicious. We also had the mango fried rice--light but full of flavor! The highlight was definitely the crispy fried duck served over pad Thai--so tasty and perfectly done. Everything tasted very authentic, the service was warm and friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. Can't wait to come back! read more

I got panang curry door dashed to my room. I got the medium heat and it was a bit spicy. Overall the flavor was good and my order for to be quickly. I would definitely try more things on the menu. Reason for the 4 star instead of 5 is it was really spicy and I love spicy so I should have gotten mild! I didn't visit the restaurant so I don't know about the actually service or ambiance read more

This place was a small restaurant, nothing fancy. However, the food was amazing. The service was excellent. I don't think that you could go wrong here. If Thai is your thing, give them a chance to fill your belly. read more

Having come from Chicago where there are great Thai restaurants , North Carolina has really failed to impress on any Thai food . However, at this particular Thai restaurant, we did eat about 5 times having tried others in the area, so far it is still the best one we have found.. We have tried Pad see Ew , panang curry , Basil fried rice , Drunken noodles. Everything tastes good but not great , It is good enough to satisfy our Thai craving but not something we would desire. But if you are in the area , this is your go to place for Thai food. read more

Another gem in Myrtle Beach! One of the best Thai&Lao place. My girlfriend had the duck noodles, the duck was crispy, tender and the noodle soup was savory, sweet. I had the beef Larb, which was the Laos food. When I had the first bite, the savory, sweet, spicy, zesty flavor exploded in my mouth, it was so unique and delicious! read more

The food, services and ambiance is amazing!! We brought our kids and it was good for kids so long as your little ones are more adventurous eaters. My son isn't so we got him dinner prior to coming but my daughter who is a toddler, loved this place too! We had the pad Thai, some fried rice and spring rolls and it was all amazing. We also got their sticky rice and mango and the kids weee a huge fan! We will definitely be coming back. read more

My husband found Thai Lao while running errands in Myrtle Beach about six months ago, and he's extolled its virtues ever since. I finally had the opportunity to join him, along with some friends visiting from Maine, who we'd just collected from MYR. It was as good as the hype, perhaps even better. Service is warm and welcoming, and generally you can pick where you want to sit. It's a cozy space, tucked into a small shopping center near the Ferris wheel. There was plenty of street parking available in early May, but I'm guessing parking could be an issue during peak summer season. The best thing about Thai Lao is the food. The nam sod was a revelation - it tasted so fresh - I would have this again and again. Ditto the shrimp Pad Thai, with sweet local shrimp and expertly cooked noodles. Other dishes that got rave reviews: Wonton soup; chicken wings; spicy basil fried rice; and the ginger chicken stir fry. Heat can be adjusted to suit your spice tolerance. Both the Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea were good and strong, and a delicious, soothing counterpoint to the spicy Thai food. Mwah! read more

Always authentic Thai cuisine. Watch the spice levels, and you will love it! Highly recommend the Thai basil duck, green curry and fish cakes. read more

I found a beetle in my carry out plate while eating it and was so grossed out!!! That possibly mean it was cooked in a bigger pot of food otherwise it should have been detected or they're not paying attention as food is being prepared! I did receive refund. I was told in sometimes come in certain vegetable when delivered ! So this means they've seen enough times to know and they sometimes remove it! Are they not cleaning produce, etc? Needless to say it was my last visit and it made me thoroughly check every dish I ordered for the rest of our vacation. read more

We ordered: - shrimp spring rolls (mostly filled with lettuce. Hardly can taste the shrimp) - shrimp glass noodle salad (taste decent but it came only with 2 shrimps. I expected at least 4). Not spicy at all. - boneless hot basil duck (not entirely boneless, duck meat is decent, sauce taste is passable) - beef red curry (sauce is too watery. We like our curry thicker) - beef noodle soup (best dish of our meal). read more

Great pad Thai!! The music and overall vibe is uplifting and fun! The service was wonderful!! read more

-Parking is kinda hit or miss. You'll end up paying for parking on the busy holidays or weekends of you can't find street parking. -Inside is really small! Fit around 8-9 tables, tight fit though. For our party we have 4 people and a baby and it was really tight. -The servers here are nice. They are really busy every time we come but they provided us with good service and were helpful. -Food! I love the papaya salad! But WARNING even level 1 spicy is really spicy for me! I asked and they confirm they actually can make it no spicy. Beef salad would be great if they didn't over cook the beef. But the flavor is just right so I still like it. The Red Snapper fish was a huge disappointment. The fish too is way overcooked so it was dried. The sauce for the snapper is just watery and missing something to the taste. For $60 I really am disappointed. People we came with also ordered fried tofu and pad Thai with tofu as protein so if you're vegan you also have that option here. -Overall we been coming here for a while and it's our spot. Sometimes the food is inconsistent depending on the chef I think but it's still good. So we'll be back. Also, they were voted best restaurant at the beach in 2023! read more

Wowwwww! We are visiting here from Los Angeles and have had trouble finding great Thai with real THAI SPICY dishes. Nothing is ever hot enough. Until we found Thai Lao Restaurant!! The curry is incredible, the pad kee mao (drunken noodles ) are delish, and the best part is that we asked for Thai spicy, and to make it extra spicy and they really delivered!!! So spicy and so delicious. Also, the hands down best crab Rangoon a I've ever had. They're stuffed and not lacking any filling. SO GOOD! read more

My boyfriend and I came out to Myrtle Beach to celebrate my birthday for the weekend and wanted to have a taste of home with us and found this restaurant only a 7/8 minute walk from the boardwalk! They weren't lying when they said it's family owned. It's 100% house/home made with LOVE! My server was Sky and her lovely mom! They were not only super accommodating and sweet but their food is top tier. I'm from Georgia so there's plenty of asian foods to go around and try. But nothing like this. We got their Pad Thai and their Yellow Curry spicy level 2 and started with a beef salad! My boyfriend went IN on that pad thai so I couldn't sneal a bite before he killed it but I'm assuming it was so so good! He described the taste is definitely more on the sweeter side than savory and he honestly prefers it that way. You can taste every single flavor and it and the noodle texture was perfect! It did not come spicy and we didn't ask to make it spicy :) For the Beef salad starter, I'd definitely say I'm pretty good in spices (better than my boyfriend at least) and man that beef salad was HOT. But so, sooo good. Hands down so good. My nose was runnin by the time I finished that plate. So fair warning, if you get the beef salad make sure you specify what spice u want it at or if you want it at all because I did not and it came pretty hot so I can't tell you specifically what the level was. It's also a more limey and vinagery taste. I got the yellow curry because I'm a big fan of potatoes! I asked for a level 2 and I do believe their space range was 1-5. The level 2 was so hot to me! So very very good. The potatoes were soft and not hard, the carrots thinly sliced with the perfect chicken to veggie ratio in the curry. We finished up with the mango sticky rice dessert which was DELICIOUS. Definitely recommend trying when its in season! We went there again on our last day to just say goodbye and we saw Sky's mom was in the kitchen today! She made our food with extta love! I got the same thing but a level one and was able to comfortably eat it with a bit of kick too it and my boyfriend got the Beef Lad na and it was delicious as well! We started off with the fried tofu appetizer that came with this delicious peanut sauce that also taste great in the curry too if you wanted to add tofu to your curry! Definitely love and miss the family and the food here. They're so so kind to everyone who walks in. I noticed that as I was eating. Every customer was always attended too as soon as they walked in and greeted! Please support this family owned business! Their food is worth your while, I promise! read more

The food was so delicious, fresh, and homemade! Even the crab rangoons were homemade--and so dang good. We got the appetizer platter, which showcased a tasty Thai hot sauce among other delectable dippers, and the pineapple fried rice which featured fresh basil and great flavors. Highly recommend for takeout. read more

Came in around 8.30pm on Wednesday night for dinner. There was only one lady running the restaurant, taking orders, serving, giving checks. All the tables were full. We weren't greeted when we came in so just got in the line in front of the counter, once our turn came we got seated ourselves but she didn't give us any menus or water. After waiting, we picked up the menu ourselves. Then finally she came by. Extremely poor service, almost non existent. Food was good though, so maybe come when they are less busy so you get better service. She also locked the door during closing time so no one could enter, but customers couldn't exit, so she had to come to unlock the door a couple of times. Haven't seen this before! read more

Back 4 years later and the food is even better than remembered!!! The staff is really friendly, the food came out fresh, fast, flavorful and absolutely delicious! We wasted no time devouring it (we were starving after a day of beaching). We got the chicken wing appetizer, papaya salad (Lao style), beef pad thai, chicken and shrimp fried rice and the ribs. The sauces for the wings and ribs are divine... we HAD to order seconds! Wish we had this restaurant back home. read more

First time here and had a fantastic experience. The ambiance is very warm and inviting, everyone was upbeat and friendly. We started with the chicken satay and fresh summer rolls. Both were fresh and delicious. For dinner we shared the yellow curry with chicken. The curry came out steaming hot, full of vegetables, slightly spicy and delicious. A small bowl of rice was included and overall a fantastic dish. Of course we had to try a desert and fried ice cream was an obvious choice. Overall a great dining experience at a very reasonable price. read more

Had a craving for some Thai food and found Thai Lao had excellent reviews and they delivered which was a bonus. We ordered Chicken Pad Thai which was really flavorful but could have used a little more chicken in it. The chicken fried rice was very dry which was disappointing and a little on the bland side. Both dishes do come with chili sauce on the side to spice it to your preference. I think if I had a little soy sauce it would have helped the rice some. All in all we were pleased and will definitely order from the the next time we are in town. read more
