    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

    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.

All the staff was super friendly and our server proved really good service. We had wine by the glass and the whipped Brie, mushrooms, steak, and split the burger. Way too much food considering everything was fantastic! Luckily we boxed the steak and reheated perfectly the next day. Wine was fabulous, especially the Alberino.

I shouldn't have to clearly hear conversations that are happening to the tables next to us. It was definitely a squeeze getting in and out of the tables without interrupting the table next to you. Our server recommended getting two plates per person. The menu isn't designed to have appetizers or entrees per se, so this menu seemed like it's kind of a tapas place or kind of not? If the plates aren't appetizers or entrees and they're more shareable, then why would we only get 3 pork ribs pieces instead of 4? The pork ribs had great flavor. it was crispy, tender, and fall off the bone at the same time, but it would've been better if they added one more pork rib bone instead of 3. The whipped brie with blackberry and honey was a bit disappointing. Even after mixing the whipped brie and with the blackberries, there were barely any fruit or honey flavor. All I tasted was salt. The brie was too salty with no taste of fruit or honey. Moreover, the brie came with 2 small pieces of toast, cut into 4 pieces. There was definitely more brie than toast, so we requested additional brioche toast. Of course we got charged extra for the toast. I just think the brie to toast ratio should be better. It seemed like the plate was 85% brie and 15% toast. How are we supposed to eat the rest of the brie when the toast provided is gone? I did not enjoy more brie over brioche ratio. We also got the burger and trout. Both shareable portions. The burger tasted like a slightly elevated Big Mac but saltier. Trout was good and cooked seared with a medium rare center. Flavor wise, the trout and pork ribs were my favorite. Also, the smokin petal cocktail was perfect. Overall, the experience here was just okay.

He spent a lot of time explaining the menu and answering questions. He never seemed to be in a rush and was on top of it. There were others constantly filling water, removing plates, etc. The service alone was impeccable. We loved the mushroom fries. The basil aioli it came with was fantastic. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were more like a salad, fresh with lemon and pistachio. The creamy garlic mashed potatoes were also fantastic. My wife and I both tried the Spencer cut steak. It was grilled to perfection. Great char and came out the way I ordered it. Juicy and not fatty, an excellent cut. I really enjoyed the sorbet as well. I was so full, but it was a welcomed, refreshing conclusion to our meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was classy. The food and service amazing. Can't wait to return here when in town next.

Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were disappointed to find that the elevator was broken, as informed by the staff. We had two friends who required ADA accommodations: one in a wheelchair and the other who could not walk long distances. We were left with two options: a table in the front lobby, where everyone walks in, providing no privacy, or seating outside. It was 5 PM, and the temperature in Las Vegas was scorching over 100 degrees. Why would I choose to sit outside, especially with two guests who have mobility challenges? Moreover, the server informed us that there were no mist machines outside, which was an insult. The simple solution would have been to call or text us to inform us that the elevator was broken, especially since one of the servers mentioned that it had been broken for a few days. A simple call would have given us time to find another restaurant that could accommodate our needs. However, it was a Friday in Las Vegas, and making a last-minute reservation was challenging. We decided to stay and dine in the lobby near the butcher shop, where we were again seating in the open, lacking privacy. The manager did came over and comped two appetizers, which was appreciated, but it did not resolve the issue. A restaurant should be ADA accessible at all times, and if it is not, they should inform the guests especially if specific accommodation was mentioned in the memo of the reservation. One of our friends, who cannot walk far distances, had to struggle to go up the stairs to use the restroom, causing her muscles to cramp up and other issues. As a local and frequent visitor to this location, this experience has made me question whether we will return. It left my guest, who came to celebrate my birthday, feeling like they were an inconvenience and burden
