    Cool little Thai/Lao spot in Vegas. It doesn't look like much from the outside but very different in the inside. Very authentic looking and aesthetically pleasing in the inside. The food matched the atmosphere with it being very good. The Khao Piak definitely hit the spot after a night out. The service was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely visit again next time I'm in town.

    Beef Intestine Soup, sour and tasty!

    The food is good, yes. The serving sizes, I would say would be the only caveat for me. I've mentioned in my past reviews that we've seen a trend of rising meal prices at our most favorite restaurants, which is understandable, but serving sizes have also decreased. This is no exception. We ordered quite a few things, including Thom Khem (which is a delight, not a lot of restaurants have this dish) It's just like a warm hug, and so comforting to eat. Their beef intestine soup in the Sour option, another delicious soup that just wakes up your taste buds. The jumpa lao platter, a great option for shareable items, but again - wished for the price, had more serving of each variety of side item. I will probably visit again to try the other items to see how it compares to my favorite Lao restaurants, for research purposes of course ;)

    Spent a couple of days in Las Vegas and found this place on Yelp. We loved every single dish we ordered. As a native Thai, I have always loved Laotian food and it was a great experience stopping by here. The service was amazing. The staff was super friendly. The food come out pretty quickly. I loved my pink drink too. The ambiance was great. Good space and well-designed. I would recommend this restaurant if you feel like authentic asian food. I think they have Karaoke night too.

    If I could give a higher rating I would. Bring your friends, bring your partner, parents .. I mean the more you bring the more good you can try right xD Amazing food and great service. The flavors of everything ordered were so good. Highly recommend if you can't tell. Will be back when in town!

    Jumpha Lao Thai Bistro was so good! Everything we ordered was flavorful and satisfying. We tried the Lao sausage, Kor Moo Yang (pork jowl), sticky rice, Tom Kha soup, and Pad Kapow. The Lao sausage had great flavor, the pork jowl was tender, and the sticky rice paired perfectly with everything. The Tom Kha soup was creamy, comforting, and full of flavor, while the Pad Kapow had that savory, spicy kick we were craving. Cozy spot, good service, and definitely worth coming back to.

    Tum platter was lacking in flavor
    Yuki J.

    Second visit, overall everything has been good and flavorful. My favorites so far are the laab fried chicken, beef jerky, and tum luang prabang. Now for the ones that didn't hit for me. The nam kao is super crispy which I love, but the flavor wasn't what I was expecting, it was missing that fermented pork sausage taste and something else I couldn't put my finger on. Weirdly enough it reminded me more of a hot dog than traditional nam kao. On my first visit, the tum platter felt a little flat compared to the tum luang prabang, less depth in the flavor. And I have to be honest, the tomyum noodle was a miss for me. It didn't taste anything like tomyum noodle and missing that lime taste. I ordered everything max spicy and it wasn't immediately hot but the heat slowly built up half way through which I actually appreciated. Staff was friendly and welcoming both times. Despite a few misses I'll definitely be back to keep working through the menu!

    After four years of searching for a spot that serves real Lao food, I can confidently say my search is finally over. Jumpa Lao Thai Bistro is an absolute hidden gem. I've been looking everywhere for Khao Poon, and when I saw it on their menu I almost couldn't believe it. Not only do they have it -- it actually tastes authentic, like the kind of food that isn't watered down or overly modernized for trends. You can tell this is the real deal. The Lao sausage with sticky rice immediately took me back. The flavors were so good -- savory, slightly herby, and perfect with the sticky rice. Simple but done right. We also tried the crab fried rice, which was honestly bomb. Super flavorful, not greasy, and packed with crab. And of course we had to order the papaya salad, which had the perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and fresh. What I really appreciate about this place is that it doesn't feel like one of those overly trendy fusion spots. The food tastes authentic and traditional, which is exactly what I've been hoping to find for years. If you know Lao or Thai food, you know how rare it can be to find places that serve dishes like Khao Poon -- and do it well. This spot is definitely going to be a regular for me now. Hidden gem for sure.

    Jumpa Lao took over the old Chuchote location, which brought back memories since I used to come here with my family years ago. I was excited to try this new Lao spot and see what they did with the space. We came on a Saturday night and it wasn't busy at all -- I think there was only one other party dining in. There's plenty of seating, the restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Food came out within a reasonable time -- not too long of a wait. Everything we ordered came out very good and authentic. I especially loved the Lao-style papaya salad -- it had great flavor and just the right balance. The crab pad Thai was also a standout and the portion was generous enough to share. The panang curry tasted good as well, but the protein portion was a bit small and mostly vegetables. The khao piak was so comforting and perfectly seasoned. Overall, we definitely enjoyed our experience and will be back whenever we're craving Thai/Lao food.

    luang prabang papaya salad

    Small restaurant. Overall food was amazing even though we had to wait was pretty long. Boat noodle did not disappoint. Could improve on food coming out faster and cleaning off tables so next customers can be seated promptly.

    Just wanted to include with updated menu, Jan 2026. Hope this helps. Service was good. Food was great. Pretty much got the same items as previous review.

    Pad Thai upgraded to big noodles
    Linda S.

    Been here probably about three times and each visit has been pleasantly good. The staff is super friendly, definitely will be continuing coming back. There is not a lot of Lao restaurants in town and I love supporting local business. One of my favorite dishes there is Nam Khao forgot to take a picture so good!

    Celeste L.

    Amazing food at this place! It was not crowded when we went, place was clean, the owner was helpful and friendly. I tried the Tom Kha and sampled my friends entrees. Desserts were so good. There were a few items on the menu that were not available/sold out, so before You get excited make sure they have it available and ask or they can let you know. Would definitely come back!

    First Impression: The bar is a whiskey lovers dream…read more Location: off the strip, looks a bit sketchy from the outside, but inside is like stepping into a different world. Experience: We were a party of 2 and waited about 10 mins for our table. Once seated we were greeted by our server. We have been here once before and dreamt about it since. Thankfully, the food quality matched what we remembered from our first experience. We ordered a variety of dishes to share and ended taking back to our hotel. Tom yum, pad kee mao, fried rice, curry and soft shell crab. Honestly, i felt like one of your foodie youtubers with the spread on our table. Each dish was made well and with care - we enjoyed every bite we were able to eat and would recommend coming here out of any place on the strip. Note: check our their whiskey list - they have alot of options from all.

    I was disappointed by the service. We came in from 110 degrees and the first to arrive from a large…read moreparty. We were told we could not sit until the whole party arrives. We were not ushered until another area of offered water. I asked for water and found a place to wait it out. Our party was big and had two separate reservations. The restaurant was just opening and they could have sat us near each other per our request but they sat us separately and said they couldn't sit us near each other even though there were tables empty near where both of our tables were sat. Honestly, the food was mediocre. I had friends hype this restaurant up and it was not that good. Service wise--one of the kids spilled water and they brought new water without cleaning up the spill. They left ice cubes on the table and went about their business. I had to flag someone and asked to please clean it up. Unfortunately, we won't be back mainly because of service but also the food was just ok. We ordered garlic shrimp, larb, padsee, eggplant tofu, You all need better service. The waitress was fine, it was your other staff.

    Stopped by because I had a doctor's appointment close by and nothing was open yet. Thank God Thai…read moreStreet Cafe was open 24-7. So good for late night eats too. The restaurant is pretty good size so looks like large groups can fit. We sat in one of the booths. The service (even though we were the only ones in there) was very slow. The worker probably needed to go to sleep. He did not engage at all and did not check up on us. I had to walk up to him to ask for to go containers. Even when we ordered it took a bit of a wait. No smile whatsoever. It was already 10:30 am you'd figure he'd be more upbeat. Food: Summer Rolls / Fresh Spring Rolls (IDK what they call it) Pad See Eww Pad Thai (My friend ate this and enjoyed it.) The flavor of the stir fried flat rice noodles, chinese broccoli, garlic, egg, sweet soy sauce with tofu was delicious. It was flavorful and I wish it had more chinese broccoli. I also enjoyed the fresh spring rolls with tofu. The peanut sauce was devine! What a hit. So refreshing. Overall, it's a clean restaurant. If it wasn't for the server they would have definitely received 5 STARS from me. I'll update my review next time I visit.

    1. Owner? (Gentleman) Was rude. I said "ok let's start with..." and he cut me off saying "order…read moreeverything now together." I think he was trying to say it's faster if we ordered together? Felt rushed to order that we skipped appetizers and set a weird tone for our fun lunch. It did appear he was by himself with 1 wait staff to assist with clearing tables so maybe they were short staffed? We have been here before (last November) and loved the previous experience which was why we returned. It was so welcoming, food was delicious and also on a holiday weekend. 2. Auto gratuity was added for a party of 5 without notification. Tbh we normally tip more, but service was pretty nonexistent, especially once food came out, so not impressed about that 3. Food was delicious, recommend crab fried rice, drunken noodles, papaya salad. Tom yom did not taste like tom yum Probably not going to return

    My fiancé and I love Thai food and always make an effort to try new spots around Vegas. We recently…read moretried Ocha Thai which is located on Las Vegas Blvd near the Arts District. Thankfully there is ample parking, which is a huge plus for be area. Being a Wednesday evening, it was pretty empty but they have a large dining area and a lounge with a stage near the entrance. I assume they have live music occasionally. Our waiter was very attentive, almost too much as he checked on us multiple times in a matter of minutes asking if we were ready to order. After scouring the menu, we opted for the Shrimp with Pepper Sauce and the Mixed Vegetables with Shrimp. Spice level we went with 8 and 9 respectively. I found my spice to be perfect (9), my fiance thought the 8 was a little mild. The flavor of both of our dishes was great though! The pepper sauce was deep and well developed, while the sauce in the mixed vegetables was good but paled in comparison. We both agreed this was one of the better Thai spots we've had in Vegas, however, and would definitely go back!

    This place came highly recommended by my mom, and Mom is rarely wrong when it comes to her taste in…read morefood. She's not even a local here like I am now, but she has decades of experience coming to Vegas for conventions and this is one of her go-to places for Thai. Service was quick and good, lots of tables. Disposable chopsticks. Free soda refills. We ordered a few Thai iced teas (7/10 - a bit watered down), Lao-style papaya salad (6/10 - Mom said it was saltier today than the last few times she had it), large Tom yum soup (8/10 - generous chicken pieces but def more on the sour side), Thai beef jerky (6.5/10 - I wasn't a fan but more than half of our table liked it), crying tiger steak (7/10 - had a few fatty chewy pieces that were not consumable, had to spit out), pad Thai (9/10), pad kra pow with minced pork (9/10), and yellow curry (9/10). They have another location closer to where we live so we def want to try that one out sometime. Overall, we would eat here again for the authenticity of the flavors and for the great service.
