The food and service are wonderful. Lao cuisine is similar to Thai with lots of fresh vegetables and interesting flavor combinations. They are very attentive to dietary restrictions which makes it easy for a crowd to visit. The portions are very generous. Check ahead as hours of operation vary. read more

I order their version of Pad Thai called Khua Mee, and order with sliced beef steak. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. If you want something a little lighter but love steak order the Mee Ka Tee (Coconut curry noodles) - I love steak but if you're not a red eat meat eater, specifically order sliced or shredded chicken. The ground chicken just does not look appetizing, nor does it have a great texture. you can't go wrong with the Khua Mee or the Mee aka Tee. One of my absolute favorite things to share is the pineapple fried rice. I have to add a bit more soy sauce on it, or you can ask for them to add more, but yum, it's so good! You're welcome! read more

Their food is amazing as always. Staff are friendly and check on you to see if you need anything. Owner is very hospitable as well. Highly recommend Lao Ocean restaurant! read more

Ok, listen closely, this place will rock your tastebuds! The food is super good, choices are many and the service is outstanding! A must go!

This was my 1st time eating Laotian cuisine, after dining at Laocean, I am hooked! The sushi is super fresh, the flavor complexities are noticeable in their larb dishes, green curry, and noodle dishes. Their food offers a wonderful culinary avenue from the usual Asian cuisine choices..5 stars! read more

Really great food and service! Nice atmosphere. We ordered the drunken noodles, Massaman curry, egg rolls, and boba!

Just updating that we are here again and everything was once again fab. Got the pad thai this time and it was the best I've had in years -- a perfect balance, where do many other versions of this are way too sweet and too gloppy. Also had the red curry which was delicious, though I think I slightly prefer the Massaman read more

Food is okay, when it matches the menu descriptions. Unfortunately on some dishes sauce means sauce, while on others it means broth with a layer of grease floating on top. Oh, and the discolored and overcooked boiled egg was an added treat. Because it's takeout these days your only choice is to make another round trip to replace or refund. Of course replacing means everyone else eating this takeout waits and eats cold food or you make your second trip and they get to watch you eat lukewarm food. They really should be ashamed and consumers should be aware that what you see on the menu probably won't be what you get. read more

We came down from Houston for a week and have been looking for a restaurant that's not just traditional American food but something a bit more authentic with heaps of flavor. We definitely found it at this restaurant. Their food is full of flavor and unbelievably tasty. If you're looking for a good Thai experience then you have to come here. The staff is super friendly too! read more

Ordered a yellow curry and did not get a yellow curry. Not sure what curry they gave me but it was only halfway full also.

Food is awesome and the staff work hard. Can get too crowded and take too long for to go orders at times. Also have very odd hours. But otherwise great place with quality food. read more

Absolutely the best Asian restaurant on the gulf. Fast service, fantastic food and very convenient. We have had coconut chicken curry soup, fried noodles with beef and egg rolls. I travel for a living and eat at spots all over the country - Lao Ocean is one of the best. read more

Consistently great food I especially love the Thai Basil with ground chicken some of the best I have ever had.

Loved it! They are definitely following COVID Protocol with separated tables and service. Food was fresh and hot! Prices are reasonable able and service is good. Please open another one in Pensacola!! read more

Really wanted to eat something that we did not cook so my husband and I ordered from here this evening. It was amazing! They brought it curbside to our car and we are both still talking about how good the pad Thai and the drunken noodles were. Thank you thank you! read more

Worth the wait if you have time. Kitchen staff was either short handed or behind on orders. I called in and it took 45 minutes for my togo order but I had to wait another 15 minutes for the last two orders. But there were orders coming out to the tables while I was there. read more

When you know food, you know food! This business is locally owned and operated. They make everyone who comes through the door feel like family. There's something for everyone, vegans, kids, picky eaters, everyone! There's a ton of sushi to choose from as well and if you want something changed or added, it's made fresh to order so you have that freedom. The girls at the counter are very sweet and they work you through the menu to make sure you get and have everything you want and need. The inside of this establishment is BEAUTIFUL! The colors and decor very much so fit the theme. It's very modern and beautiful and really feels like you're by the ocean! The prices are very fair and the portion sizes are just right! Having the menu across three screens is amazing. It's so high tech and even allows me to see photos of some of the menu items. Everything is explained down to a tee and modifications are welcomed. If you're looking for a place to eat with a great look, even better food, and out of this world customer service: GO HERE! read more

We found this place on accident. We were driving around trying to find sushi or Asian food. This place has it all. The food is delicious and their menu was huge. We had sushi and crab Rangoon (golden bags) and boba. The food came out promptly (awesome when you bring a baby with). The staff was friendly and helpful but not overwhelming or fake. They treated another customer very well who was alone for dinner. We will definitely be back to try pad tai and poke bowls. Our new favorite restaurant. read more

I love it. Friendly staff everything we order is great. Very consistent. Really makes life easier having delicious Asian on the island.

Nice casual Asian fusion restaurant that's popular and often times busy-- especially at peak hours. Sadly this restaurant replaced one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the area but I digress..... You can order at the counter and dine in, or call for take out The LO menu is a sampling of the most popular Japanese , Thai and Vietnamese dishes. Nothing I have had is terrible, but nothing is too extraordinary either. Prices per portion size are pretty high-- and unless you like native level heat, stick with the medium spicy in Thai dishes-- otherwise you're on your way to mouth on fire. Not sure if it's the MSG or brand of fish sauce, but the dressing and the curry is very salty. read more

Excellent Thai Food!!! Finally fresh ingredients, tender meats and sizable shrimp. I got all in the Thai Fried Rice....light oil not greasy like all others. Casual atmosphere (good for kids). I've only lived here for a year....people love Taste of Thai which is a 3 at best. I am a Thai connoisseur and this is by far the best. read more
