    My friend and I wanted Lao food so we stopped by Lao Kitchen for lunch. We waited for a few minutes to be seated. She was by her self greeting people and serving the food. Food: Kao Poon Nam - Vermicelli, Chicken Feet, Pork Blood Cube, Cilantro, Green Onion with Red Curry Broth Pad See Ew - Stir-Fried Flat Noodle with Egg and Chinese Broccoli. I was bummed that they did not offer Tofu as a protein. The Pad See Ew did have a great taste and smokey flavor. The Kao Poon soup was also delicious. I'd return again and try different dishes.

    My friend recommended me to try this restaurant during my visit. Located in a commercial area with free parking lot. No reservations needed, restaurant is good size, able to accommodate small and large groups. The food tastes just like home, almost similar to my cooking. It was still delicious to eat for midnight snack.

    Laos papaya salad and beef larb

    We ordered the Lao papaya salad, beef larb, kao poon, and pad thai, and honestly, I enjoyed everything we tried! The flavors were really delicious. I personally can't handle much spice, and my boyfriend chose medium spice for the larb and papaya salad. It was definitely spicy for me , but I kept going back for more. The kao poon and pad thai were also delicious and easier for me to handle. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and service was great. We would definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu.

    Pad Thai, Larb Beef, Kana Moo Krob, Lao Papaya Salad

    This place is a hidden gem. The food and service were excellent. Everything we ordered was flavorful. We highly recommend their pad Thai. Be careful with their spice level. A medium is more like hot/spicy.

    First time trying Lao food and I'm obsessed. I love spicy food so my sister put me on to this spot and wow... I'm seriously impressed. Service was great, wasn't busy or too loud so was able to have a decent conversation. We ordered the Pad See Eww, papaya salad (my mouth was on fire in the best way), Nam Khao, chicken larb, and crying tiger. Everything was a 4/5 spice level and full of flavor. I genuinely can't choose a favorite. This is exactly how spicy food should be--bold, flavorful, and not overpowering! I think I found my new favorite spot

    This place is amazing! Friendly staff and great food. We had the papaya salad and the chicken larb. Let me tell you: the larb was great. It wasn't just your regular ground chicken; it had chicken heart and liver. Yummy. The food satiated our hunger after a day of hiking at Red Rock Canyon. I will come back again

    Crying tiger.

    I wanted to get an early dinner before a show and this is in a plaza with which I am familiar. Once again, thanks to Yelp for helping me find what has been there all the time. Their menu is mostly Lao street food but with a number of Thai dishes and some influence from Vietnam and India. Looking over the extensive menu, I ordered their Crying Tiger, marinated grilled beef brisket cut in small slivers for sipping in the crying tiger sauce. I also got an order of plain white rice. The crying tiger sauce is spicy but not too spicy for me. The Thai iced coffee I got to drink also helped with the spice if needed. The beef brisket is nicely grilled and the thin strips were somewhat rare which is the way i like beef. It was a very pleasant dish. For dessert, I got their roti. Knowing the size of roti, I wondered if it was too much for one person. The server told me it was one roti. Their menu describes it as fluffy, freshly made flatbread. In short order, the dessert arrived. The roti is folded and cut into small squares. It is glazed with a small amount of sugar and served slightly warm. There was also a small amount of sweetened condensed milk for some moisture. The Lao roti is similar to Indian. One website describes the Thai roti like this: "The Thai version is made from a dough that is stretched very thin (often with a theatrical flair from street vendors), folded to create layers, fried in butter and oil, and then served as a sweet snack or dessert. The result is a combination of crispy, flaky, and slightly chewy" What a treat! Service was very good. Coming in the late afternoon, the restaurant was empty except for people at one other table. Since their menu is so extensive, I will be returning for this very good food!

    Thum kao poon
    Sandy S.

    Tried the thum kao poon, kao piak, potstickers, mee ka tee, and fried chicken, everything was really good! The flavors were delicious and comforting, and the fried chicken was especially tasty. The only small thing was that the noodles in the thum kao poon could have tasted a little fresher, but overall the dish was still good. Service was great too, our server was very nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely would come back!

    Fish wrap, papya Lao Papaya Salad
    Nina L.

    The food was amazing! The lao papaya salad was a touch too spicy for a two but everything else was outstanding. The fried squid was standout. Highly recommend this place.

    Nam Khao
    Eri S.

    My nephew that lives locally recommended this place and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was super clean, and the waitress wasted no time to get our order/ We ordered Lao sausage with sticky rice, Kao piek, and Nam Khao. The sausage was on point with lots of herbs, khao piek looked like the noodles were made in- house. Nam Khao was a bit too sour for me, but satisfied my craving. Coming back here next time we are in Vegas.

    Sausage

    This is the first time I tried Lao food and it is surprisingly food! I highly recommend the pork Pad Ped.

    Nice environment. Quick service. Food flavor unique with mix of Lao and Thai if u like spicy taste.

    Seen sawan

    The food is always great here. We got the seen sawan beef strips 8/10, kao poon chicken 10/10, and the kao piak 10/10.

Both were well seasoned, prepared to order, and served in traditional Southeast Asian style with a big portion of fresh veggies including lettuce, cabbage, and radishes. The chicken larb was juicy with a nice balance of acid from lime and salty fish sauce, the mok pa fish was full of flavor and naturally creamy and melt in your mouth soft.

Shared parking with other biz within plaza are available right up front of the restaurant. Ambiance inside was beautifully decorated with a cozy feel. Menu options were abundant. Despite of the selections, we usually go with our go-tos. We couldn't ask for a better meal. Everything was delish with a few exceptions. 1. Panang Curry lunch special that comes with soup, salad, wonton, and rice - taste and flavor were just okay, but portions were quite adequate 2. Baa Mee Hang - amazingly tasty, but portions were small 3. Papaya Salad with shrimp - wonderfully put together with fresh quality ingredients, tasted great with mild spice made just right, it comes with 4 huge shrimps, wished it came with 6 huge shrimps 4. Pad Thai with chicken - one of the best dishes! SO GOOD!! 5. Pad Woon Sen with chicken - I originally asked for seafood, but got chicken instead which was fine. Glass noodles became mushy towards the end. They need to use a different brand of glass noodles that's a bit firmer. 7. Stuffed Chicken Wings - surprisingly good, love the crispiness of the skin, seasoning was quite flavorful, came with 2 wings, 3 wings would have been better 8. Thai Iced Tea - PERFECT! Must get every time. 9. Thai Iced Coffee - good, not too sweet 10. Coconut Cream Ice Cream - a must get delectable dessert to end our meal, SO YUMMY! Each dish averaged about $20+ or so. Bill came and it was a whopping $140+ before tip. After tip, it was $170.00 out the door. Yes, big delicious meals come with a price! It's always well worth it. Highly recommend Weera Thai!

Consistently delicious, well-executed Thai food combined with a relaxed neighborhood-bar vibe makes it pretty irresistible. Wonderful aromas, even better flavors. I also love that Le Thai has separate lunch and dinner menus, plus a happy hour with some genuinely good values. I moved here from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where back in the day we had a stellar Thai restaurant called Bangkok Orchid. Off-menu, they served a dish the chef called "Waterfall Beef": marinated grilled steak with sticky rice and an intensely spicy dipping sauce made with fish sauce, Thai chilies, lime juice, and a touch of tamarind or brown sugar. Lo and behold, Le Thai has an appetizer called Waterfall Beef. It's very similar. The sauce here is a little less fiery, but that's easily remedied with some extra heat from Le Thai's spice tray. For me, it's a little taste of nostalgia and one of my favorite things on the menu. A few other favorites: Larb - Ground chicken or pork with cilantro, red and green onion, lime juice, and Thai chili, served with green leaves for wrapping. $14 Papaya Salad (Som Tum) - Fresh shredded green papaya tossed with Thai chili, garlic, carrot, tomato, and lime, topped with toasted peanuts and served with sticky rice. $13 Three Color Curry - Le Thai's blend of red, yellow, and green curry with vegetables. $16/18 And if you're in a hurry, grab a seat at the bar. You can order from the full menu--and have yourself a delicious cucumber gin cocktail while you're at it. Great food, great value, and about as far from the pretense of the Strip as you can get. I've been back again and again for a reason. Don't just try one dish--work your way through the menu.
