Got a a large Thom Kha soup and a Panang chicken curry. The soup was enough for 4 people. Happy with the food. Ambiance... well, it's not all there. It's an old space attached to a motel, it has that old sticky restaurant feel. The tables and bench seats are set in place, and the benches are too far from the table. It's definitely more of a take out situation. Service was ok. I will do take out in the future and expect that I will be a return customer.

Yummy Thai food with fresh ingredients…read more For two people we got the papaya salad w/dried shrimp, Khao Soi w/shrimp, and pad gra prow w/crispy pork. We ordered medium spicy for the papaya salad and it only had a slight kick. I wished the salad portion was more as it was gone pretty quickly. It comes with shrimp chips, pork rinds, and 2 small bundles of rice noodles. The dried shrimp in the salad was very chewy though, which made it a bit less enjoyable. I ended up picking them all out. We ordered spicy for the pad gra prow but it wasn't spicy at all. I think you can ask for the Thai chilis/ Thai chili fish sauce thing on the side but we decided we were fine with no spicy. Unfortunately the crispy pork was not crispy at all and was also very chewy. Overall it was still delicious! The Khao soi mightve honestly been the least favorite, but it was still good. It is on the sweeter side. The egg noodles were cooked al dente and had a nice chew. Sometimes when I get Khao soi it ends up being too heavy or creamy, but the curry for this one was thinner and easy to eat. The shrimp was the best part - super fresh and bouncy. In the end I thought the portions and quality were good. The service was also super nice, and it was impressive to see our waitress cover so many tables. The restrooms were also clean.

It was breaded in panko and was very good! For my entree, I ordered the tofu/veggie panang curry. This was surprisingly not as liquid as I was expecting. However, it was very good! Service: Service was friendly but a tad slow. They were quite busy though, so it was understandable. Our server was busy running around the entire time we were there. TL;DR - good food and reasonably slower service when busy.

Had some pretty good thai food here! We were browsing the Michelin guide online and saw that…read moreFavorites was listed as a suggestion, so we decided to give it a go. We arrived at about 8:30pm on a Friday night, and were wholly confused when we walked into a coffee shop. I initially thought that we had accidentally walked into a speakeasy as I could hear a ton of noise and music coming from the back door. The hostess at the coffee bar directed us to the back, and we checked in there. As we didn't have reservations, we ended up sitting at the high top communal table. It was super packed at 8:30pm! We got a few drinks to start while we perused the menu. We decided on - Thai Style Oysters ($17) - Nahm Jim, Chili jam, crispy shallots, and cilantro; these were so good! They were served raw, which is our favorite way to eat oysters. The toppings balanced out the saltiness/brine of the oysters. Ceviche ($32) - Yellowtail Tuna, heirloom cherry tomatoes, greens; this was not our favorite. I realized that I am not a fan of warm, raw fish and prefer my fish to be chilled. The flavor was good, but the warmness of the yellowtail was off putting. Thai Beef Tartare ($27) - AAA beef, larb seasoning, seasonal vegetables; this was like an elevated larb. We enjoyed the extreme spiciness of it, but I do wish that it wasn't topped with so much fried shallots. I was able to push those off, and enjoyed it nonetheless! Spicy Duck Sausage ($20) - Coconut rum infused, laap seasoning, pal sugar; the flavor was great, but for the amount we got, it was not worth the price. It looked like we got one sliced sausage...I think two would have been fair for the price. Char Siu Short Rib ($66) - Maple syrup, shrimp paste, laab seasoning, lemongrass; THIS was the STAR of the show! The meat was tender and juicy, it was thick cut, and we appreciated the portion size. Overall it was a decent experience; we loved that they stayed true to the true thai flavors and didn't shy away from using chilis. If we were to go back again, I would order less things with Laab seasoning. Most of the items we chose ended up tasting the same after a few bites because we ordered too many items with laab and fried shallots. This was our own mistake, and no fault of the restaurants.

The cilantro-marinated chicken was packed with flavor, perfectly grilled, and the portion was very generous for $26.95. I also ordered the house-made Laotian smoky chili sauce, jaew bong ($1.25), to go with it and absolutely loved the deep smokiness and heat--it paired beautifully with the chicken. The atmosphere was very chill and inviting. I immediately felt comfortable settling in, hanging out, and chatting, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

I'm definitely coming back here!…read more We ordered the Tapioca dumplings, the beef messemen curry, and the mango and purple sticky rice. Wow! It was all so tasty. The tapioca dumplings are unlike anything I've tasted before. They serve it with a side of lettuce, mint and peanuts. I liked the dumplings better without the sides they served! The lettuce and other add ons dim the flavors of the dumplings. So I prefer just eating the dumplings straight on. The Messemen curry was so flavorful and the beef was so tender! I'm a big fan. If you're a fan of Thai curries then you'll definitely like this! The Mango purple sticky rice dessert was also really tasty! It had a tasty coconut sorbet and it all went really well together. Service was good, food came out quickly, vibes were good. No complaints here!

Unfortunately, the day took an unexpected turn when I had to go to the hospital, and for a while I thought I wouldn't make it at all. As a testament to both the kindness of my friends and the exceptional staff at Lao Lao, they were able to accommodate us even though I arrived nearly two hours late on a busy Saturday evening. Originally, our table was only reserved until 8:00 p.m.--the exact time I finally arrived. Thankfully, with the help of our incredible server, Savanna N., everything worked out. Her professionalism, warmth, and willingness to help truly made the evening possible. More than anything, I hoped the wait would be worthwhile for my friends, who were visiting for the first time. I'm happy to say they absolutely loved it--especially the outstanding hospitality and customer service. A huge thank you to Savanna and the entire team for making us feel so welcome. As for the food, every dish was delicious. Nothing disappointed. The papaya salad was such a hit that we ordered it twice. The Beef Massaman Curry, Crispy Lao Spiced Chips, Banana Leaf Steamed Fish, and the seasonal Vermicelli Noodle in Chicken Coconut Red Curry were all exceptional. Although it had been about a year since my last visit, I was delighted to see that Lao Lao remains consistently excellent in its food, quality, and service. Bravo!
