    drunken noodles
    Angela H.

    Have had this place so many times, it's always a good spot for my siblings and I to go to. The workers here are nice and helpful. We sometimes bring my nephew who can be quite loud but it's never an issue as the restaurant is definitely one that you can be comfortable in, there's always people eating lunch and having a good time. The environment definitely feels like a casual Asian restaurant. One thing we stand by the chicken feet. It is a must eat every time, it's crispy and juicy with a good amount of spice although I am good at spice, my sister does need breaks inbetween to handle it. As an appetizer, it does take a little longer for them to make but it's worth it. Other appetizers they have are thai sausage, this is very juicy and oily. The flavor is nice but the sauce didn't add much to it due to how fatty it is. The spicy chicken wings here are also good you can never go wrong with chicken wings. I've only had the tom yum shrimp for soup, it had a good tom yum flavor but more on the small side for being $7 but enjoyable. For the papaya salad it's pretty spicy and has a lot of juice although sometimes the papaya itself has a sweetness to it. So think of having ur mouth on fire while having a ting of sweetness. I do wish it was a little more sour and less fishy but they usually provide a lime on the side to balance. The beef laab here is delicious, this has a stronger flavor and is more sour but the ratio for the cilantro/veggies to beef is a little more than I wish it was. The drunken noodles here were decent nothing special to order. For the curry soups they are more on the soupy side meaning it's pretty watery not thick at all, only have tried the red and green flavor though. Most of the dishes you're able to choose a level of spice and so if you can't handle it you can't get "Wimpy" level . They don't take Amex here but Discover is taken. Would recommend for lunch with some friends to share dishes with!

    If I'm too lazy to drive to Dracut to eat at Lanxang, I drive to Laos Thai Kitchen to eat Lao style papaya salad. We got a bunch of food because we are hungry hungry hippos (6 of us). We got crab Rangoon, chicken wings, tapioca balls, papaya salad (3 star spice), crispy ladna, Lao sausages, and something else I forgot. We would've ordered more but there was no more room on the table LOL. The sausages were nice and sweet and savory, the crab Rangoon was cheesy and sweet, the thum makhong was spicy and good. Loveddddd the tapioca balls because they were piping hot so it just melted in my mouth and tastes so good with the dipping sauce. Definitely come here for Lao food.

    New favorite pho spot--and yes, the drive to Lowell is 1000% worth it. Menu has plenty of food options while keeping it classic and simple. Only two options for pho--chicken pho and beef meatball pho. I have been told the beef meatball pho is the reason to come here. I will have to try it next time--my friend got it and I tried the broth and can definitely say it had that old-school taste that I've been longing for in beef pho broths and can't find anymore. Salt and pepper fried chicken feet were so crunchy and bomb; perfect snack to go with a beer. Oh, and this place is BYOB! What's not to love?

    Cozy atmosphere with friendly service. The combination of the papaya salad, chicken wings, and sticky rice showcased the restaurant's ability to deliver authentic Lao Thai flavors. My favorite was the Pad Thai. Just the right amount of sweetness. I love that they had fried garlic and chili oil available at the table. Thanks again for a wonderful meal!

    The best Thai food I've had. So so incredible and i have a high bar. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The music was an 11 out of 10. Service was amazing. Such reasonable pricing -

    Nam Kao and Drunken Noodles tofu
    Denis D.

    What a great alternative to Lanxang and Thantawan. Food was good. Ordered Nam Kao and Drunken Noodles. Good but disappointingly NOT spicy, even though we ordered 6 peppers out of 6. Thai spicy is supposedly 4 peppers. Next time I'll need to ask differently. They must have said "oh yeah, he's a white guy he doesn't eat spicy. He said 6 peppers, let's give him 1". No "customer service fee", no "takeout fee", no "we hate you coming here to give us your money" fee, unlike Pho Dalat, Pho 88 and others recently.... Street metered parking only. Bleh... But free after 6pm, free on Sundays.

    Fiyaaaaahhhh. FINALLY. Some authentic Thai and Lao food. It has been a while since I've scored on some really good Southeast Asian cooking. I was In Massachusetts a year ago and could not find this level of quality in food. But, my fam who all lives there refused to leave me disappointed so they coordinated a dinner here the day I arrived. Our party of 7 ordered the following: * Chicken Wings * Papaya Salad * Tom Yum Soup * Sticky Rice and Jasmine Rice * Tilapia * Chicken Larb * Crab Rangoon Since our group was larger, we ordered 2 or 3 of everything and it was SO good. I absolutely fell in love with the papaya salad and chicken wings. There is a spicy tomato dipping sauce (jeow) that you can ask for and it makes all the difference in the world when eating chicken or fish. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly, and our group enjoyed every bite over good conversation. I even went back two more times after that dinner for takeout. I'm a lifelong fan! I'll be back in Lowell again and this will be the first stop I make once I'm back in town. For locals, y'all already know about this place. Their reputation already speaks for itself. For visitors and those passing through, this is a must stop. You won't be disappointed! Enjoy the photos attached to this review.

    Tom Yum Soup. This was no joke, seriously good!
    Don P.

    What a find this place was! Purely by accident because parking was a bear, we took the first place we could find and the rest was culinary bliss history as we landed on their front door step searching for a different restaurant. From the Tom Yum to the Penang curry, each item was prepared beautifully with lots of fresh vegetables; deep full flavors with just the right amount of heat in each dish. This restaurant only has about 25 seats; is frequented mostly by the local Asian community and as you might expect is quite busy for good reason. Don't miss this little hidden restaurant gem!!!

    Fried chicken feet - a lot!! Spicy, garlicky, and salty.

    Lao De Cafe closed down so I walked a little further from my hotel to come here based on the reviews and menu! I actually ended up coming here again because it was that good! Larb gai - I ordered it "hot" - oh my god I thought I was gonna die. It was addicting though, so I saved half and ate it another day! It only comes with a side of lettuce and some cucumber and happily I ordered some sticky rice in the event it was too hot. The gai also had chopped bits of liver I think- really delicious and different than the standard ground chicken. Great flavor, a bit on the salty side. Order some rice to soak up the sauce and spice! Boat noodles - I was really planning on ordering something else. The menu didn't make it sound very special and the reviews were very generic ("so good!"), but since I saw it was mentioned a few times, I decided to go for it. Wow, was I impressed! It is a rich spicy rice noodle soup - bun bo hue is the closest dish I can think of but still very different. The soup is very savory, rich, spicy, but also has a bit of tang. There were peppers, fried shallot, and garlic floating around in it. It also came with beef balls and sliced beef as well as bean sprouts, gai lan, and some herbs. It was perfect for a cold and windy day. On this day, I didn't specify heat at all. The normal still packs a ton of heat! My nose was running as I was eating! Fried chicken feet - I decided to go for it after seeing photos- it really is an addictive dish of fried chicken feet topped with garlic, shallots, jalapeño. The sauce is primarily fish sauce I think. This would be a great bar snack. For those who aren't familiar with chicken feet, there's not a lot of meat. In dim sum dishes it's braised so the bones fall off the bone, but when it's fried, it's still pretty tough. This is a crispy snack to gnaw on and spit out the bones. Delicious flavor- salty and garlicky. Not too spicy (didn't specify) but still had a little bit of heat. I wish I was local to Lowell so I could keep eating here!! While I was eating here, some gwei los ordered food but asked for no fish sauce! They were able to accommodate but please don't do this! Fish sauce is such an integral part of southeastern Asian cuisine and adds umami and flavor like nothing else. This is a wonderful authentic place - have faith and enjoy.

Every dish I've ever tried was flavorful, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. You can tell a lot of heart goes into the cooking here. On top of that, the staff is wonderful -- friendly and genuinely welcoming, which always makes us feel valued as guests. Unfortunately, I have to rate my current experience four out of five stars due to an issue that significantly impacted our meal. While we were eating, there were cockroaches crawling on the wall near us, which was extremely unsettling and completely tainted the experience. It made it very difficult to continue enjoying our food, despite how delicious it was. I say this with sincerity: if the restaurant can fully address the cleanliness concerns, including any cockroach or rodent issues, I truly believe this place can return to being a solid five-star restaurant. The food and the people are already there -- it just needs that final, crucial piece to match the quality of everything else.

Though they advertise they serve both Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, you won't find boat noodle soup or khao soi here for Thai food. For Vietnamese noodle soups, they do offer some of the other popular ones like bun bo hue, bun rieu, and bo kho. Here, they also have rice plates and vermicelli bowls too. I typically get their bun bo hue and it's good every time. Service is pretty quick and staff is always nice.

Normally, pad Thai is my litmus test at a new restaurant. Safe. Predictable. But not today. Khao Moo Grob was calling my name, and I never say no to crispy crackling pork. Ever. Good choice. This dish absolutely delivered. Deeply comforting, rich, and soulful--the kind of plate that feels like it came from a home kitchen, not a menu. You don't make food like this without some kind of Thai grandma quietly running the show in the back. I was also talked into the curry puff, which they only make in limited quantities daily. The filling? Not my favorite. But the puff pastry itself? Buttery, impossibly flaky, and executed to perfection. Honestly, they could've filled it with sand and I still would've finished it. And look--Billerica isn't exactly known as a culinary hotspot. But Bang Na Thai is doing something right. If I'm anywhere near the area again, I'm absolutely coming back

    The servers (and chef!) here go above and beyond, and the food here is delicious and plentiful; the…read more"free sample" of kimchi my dad somehow ended up with after talking to the chef about vegan food or something was not only the only kimchi that my had ever liked, it was also vegan, due to the lack of anchovies. It was also, apparently, less salty, presumably for the same reason. The amount of kimchi in the "sample" was so plentiful as to almost fill up the mini cup we used for takeout. They have a large selection of vegetarian and vegan food, as well as some gluten free items, though they lack the staff and kitchen size to accommodate celiacs, so it's really more of use for people on elimination diets or with poor digestive capabilities. The owner had prior training in Italian cuisine, which is the reason such food is on the menu, and while neither my father nor I had occasion to try it, it is apparently a passion of the chef's, and the shared discussion of their mutual interest in Italian cooking may be the reason my father was given a free "sample" of kimchi, which was larger than the paid order of kimchi at most other restaurants. The food portions, in general, are massive, with the leftovers of an order of wonton soup not fitting in a to-go canister, with other orders being similarly large. Their jasmine tea is unusual for its slight fruity flavor, and ability to "overbrew" without becoming bitter, instead maintaining its delicate flavor. Each table has condiments, which in addition to including the "normal" chili crisp, and fish sauce often found at Asian restaurants that provide table condiments, have the more western pepper grinder, as well as garlic salt. Curiously, there is no "normal" salt as often found at western restaurants, though bottles of sriracha are found at every table. Perhaps the garlic salt and sriracha are the restaurant's "unique twist"?

Still excellent, still sweet (though now more noticeably spicy too), and still important to remind that the dishes here are not necessarily attempting authentic cuisine of specific regions (even though specific dishes are named), but more of a freestyle approach. The wings have improved in recent visits. More plump, more crisp, more juice, more flavor. Still good value. Still a little weak on the service (more about being young, unfocused and lacking initiative than anything approaching rudeness). Still highly recommended.
