The fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime, sauces, and chili powder let you customize every bowl exactly how you like it. Beyond the pho, their Vietnamese sandwiches are fantastic; fresh bread, flavorful fillings, and a perfect balance of textures. The spring rolls and egg rolls are also consistently fresh and delicious, making them an easy addition to any order. Highly recommended.

The only issue I have ever had with this place is when they have lemons and not limes for the pho. I'm not sure if they run out but it definitely takes away from the flavor. Other than that the service is great. You order at the counter and they call your number and you grab the food. Portions are huge and the pho is always hot. The rangoons and buns were perfect as well!

I watched one disappear from this very spot years ago. In its place is a Lao family sharing a piece of home with Kansas City. From the moment we walked in, the room smelled of fresh herbs, toasted spices, and slow-simmered broths. Before I even opened the menu, I had a feeling I was about to eat well. Mimi welcomed us like old friends. Instead of rattling off the most popular dishes, she asked what we liked, talked about the food she grew up eating, and guided us through the menu with the kind of pride you can't fake. We started with the Moo Ping and Lao sausage, and both set the tone for the rest of the meal. The grilled pork was smoky around the edges with a savory marinade and just enough sweetness to keep you reaching for another skewer. The Lao sausage was unlike anything I'd had before--packed with herbs and spices and served with crisp vegetables, fresh ginger, jalapeños, and a bright dipping sauce that let every bite taste a little different. For our entrées, Mimi recommended the Pad Kua Mee and the Mee Ka Til. On paper they're both noodle dishes. On the table, they're two completely different stories. The Pad Kua Mee leaned on the quiet confidence of perfectly cooked rice noodles kissed by the wok, while the Mee Ka Til wrapped tender beef in a fragrant coconut curry broth layered with herbs, peanuts, and vegetables that changed with every bite. Then came my first taste of mango sticky rice. Sweet, juicy mango, warm emerald-green sticky rice, silky coconut cream, and toasted sesame seeds. I actually caught myself doing a little happy dance at the table. After we finished eating, Mimi pulled up a chair and shared a little of her family's story. One thing she said stayed with me: every dish is tasted before it leaves the kitchen. Not because they're chasing perfection, but because they want every plate to taste the way their family remembers it. That's when the meal made sense. The food wasn't trying to impress me with oversized portions or flashy presentations. It was trying to introduce me to Lao cuisine the way their family knows it--with care, with pride, and with recipes that have earned their place at the table. I came because I wanted to try Lao food. I'll keep coming back because Khop Jai Der reminded me that the best restaurants don't just feed you. They share a piece of themselves, and if you're lucky, you leave with a story worth telling.

If you are not familiar with what certain things are, have no fear, the menu and tvs in the restaurant have pictures of EVERYTHING. It looks like a little mom and pop shop and feels like it as well. We got the Shrimp Spring Rolls, chicken dumplings, ABC Chicken, green beans, Combination Chow mein, and coconut roll. Everything was really good and our servers were very kind. We ordered with the mindset of having leftovers, which we did, but could help but eat the entire ABC Chicken entree . If you are a green bean fan, theirs are a must. The spring rolls and dumplings didn't stand a chance either lol. The combination chow mein was very good as well. The coconut roll was a perfect super light dessert for my wife and I. Just to give you an idea of price, the meal plus 2 sodas was around $70. A little pricy, but the quality made it worth it. And it would be cheaper if we stuck to the Dim Sum menu.

The décor was beautiful, soothing and perfect for a Saturday night with Lofi music playing in the background. Our initial server (the short haired one)'s responses made us feel inconsistent and unwelcoming because another server came to our table after taking the appetizer order as said the previous one sent her - we went through the whole spiel about our shellfish allergy and placing order again and then we saw her serving everyone around our table - So Weird! Appetizers - We got the fried spring rolls and chicken tom kha soup to start. The rolls were very crispy filled with lots of veggies and pork served with a sweet red sauce. Tom Kha soup was delicious as well - very hearty and spicy. Main dishes- we tried the tiger cry fried rice under Ann's favorites section of the menu, basil chicken fried rice and chicken Thai green curry. The tiger-cry fried rice was my favorite. We usually see tiger cry beef served as an appetizer but having that as a main course was so much fun to explore! The beef in it was tender and flavorful. Basic chicken fried rice and Thai green curry were more of classic dishes. The basil fried rice was cooked well with enough seasoning. The curry was delicious too and went well with the rice. My only preference was for the curry to be thicker and creamier because the sauce was watery. Overall, the meal was very flavorful and satisfying. I will be back to try more!

Their peanut sauce that went with the spring rolls was thicker than the places that I am used to. I must say I actually prefer this locations peanut sauce over the ones I have had in my home state. 10/10! Will come again.

They accidentally forgot our sweet potato dish, but with how busy they were, we decided not to wait any longer.

The bread was perfectly toasted and had a nice crust, though I do wish it had a little more meat. Overall, it was a good lunch experience. I think I'd come back after the crowds settle down a bit so we can try more of the menu at a more relaxed pace.
