    Yelp's listing is incorrect; the restaurant is still very much in business, and serving one of the…read moremost fragrant and flavorful chow I have ever had. I became a huge fan of Laotian food when one of the Thai restaurants in Ithaca decided to shift their focus onto one of the most underrepresented cuisines in the US, and was sad when they closed - unexpectedly - a few years ago. Laos has its own, unique, cuisine, which unfortunately gets lumped with Thai (Laab/Larb, for instance, is Laotian national dish). During one of our late trips we have decided to take a detour and check out SoulLao'd. It was so good that, on the way back, we took another detour, just to dine there. Many people don't know that sticky rice is used as a tool (akin to spoon/fork) to scoop the food out. Again, that's understandable, considering how few Lao restaurants we have around. It may take a few minutes for novices to figure it out, but once that's over, it's all smooth sailing. I suggest that you go for the SouLao'd Specialty Dishes. I had the raw Laab Sein (Beef Salad), and - on the way back - Peeng Lein (Grilled Beef Tongue), both spiced the way it is meant to be, Chef's suggestion ("You want it the authentic way? You got it"). Hubby had Laab Kai (Chicken Salad) both times; I guess he loved the dish. Make sure you ask about Sai Oua; this incredible pork sausage is not a regular staple; being home-made it takes a lot of preparation. ***If you go to a Laotian restaurant, take advantage of how lucky you are to come across one, and do not go for the usual Thai food. If you do, you will miss quite an adventure. *** Service was enthusiastic, attentive and knowledgeable - it is a family-owned restaurant, and Chef's daughter pretty much runs the business. We can hardly wait till April, for our next trip up north. Another detour, just to dine at SoulLao'd? You bet!

    I was in the hospital where the food was truly bad so a friend brought me take out. We ordered…read morechicken satay, spicy lemongrass soup, and a noodle and chicken dish. The satay was dry and the accompanied sauce had no taste, unfortunately. The soup was low to medium spicy ,enough for me. Aside from the spice, I couldn't taste any lemongrass and the chicken in the soup was also extremely dry. The noodle were pretty good and not to sound like a broken record, but the chicken again was very dry. I wanted to like it.

    "We invite you to have a taste of Germany, no passport required"-Munich Haus…read more A truly authentic German restaurant with loads of events at the restaurant, banquet hall, & outdoor biergarten featuring live music. Big place that takes up a entire corner in downtown Chicopee, MA. Three parking lots behind the restaurant. Offering lunch & dinner Sun-Thu 11:30am-9pm, Fri & Sat 11:30am-10pm. We visited here on Saturday evening April 18. 2026. This place was highly recommended by our friends from the German-american Club of Albany (NY). Half our party had been here many previous times & for the other half, it was our first time. This day they were hosting their annual wild game feast in the banquet hall. 50+ people attended this event. Munich Haus has 20 or so special events per year. Our party of six was here for dinner. Our server was the spunky Maria who made this a memorable dinner. We were here for their famous schnitzels. A hearty meal excellently prepared and served eight ways. Comes with soup or salad and choice of two sides (i.e. spaetzle, potato pancakes, sauerkraut, red cabbage, or chef's vegetable). Also you can get a schnitzel sampler of 3 varieties. WOW! Also offered are sauerbraten, rouladen, chicken Reisling, braised lamb shanks, a variety of wursts (sausages) and delicious dessets. It's simply WUNDERBAR! Many thanks again to Maria & the rest of the Munich Haus staff for a tasty & memorable dinner road trip "for a taste of Germany, no passport required."

    I come here every few years because I love German food, when I am in the mood. I've always liked it…read more... this time it was so-so. The food was a 3 star affair, at the most. Staff was 5 star. Atmosphere, 4 stars. The menu here is almost exactly same as the famous Student Prince restaurant in Springfield. Parking is much easier but I prefer the Student Prince's old school 1940's decor. The prices are similar ... high. 3 p.m. dinner only menu. Seriously?? The prices are double vs. lunch. Who eats dinner at 3 p.m. Those 10 minutes in between 2:50 pm and 3:00 pm cost me about $25 extra. The worst part of my meal ... Apple Strudel dessert. This isn't apple strudel. It's a weird thin-skinned apple pie with a lot of almost creamy chopped apple filling. The filling seems to contain cream of some sort and tasted a bit sour/spoiled. There is no satisfying crispiness or crunch ... it's a sloppy mess. Definitely recommend not getting this. Jager Schnitzel ... The brown gravy sauce with mushrooms was fantastic. However, there wasn't enough of it and the pork was dry and pounded way too thin, so it felt a little like eating a piece of cardboard with panko breading. Spaetzel ... Great. On the small side but perfectly buttered and tasted great. Red cabbage was also very good. Salad ... Came with the meal but I was charged $3 more for Roquefort cheese dressing. Wasn't told about the upcharge ... but the other options for dressing weren't very exciting. The Roquefort is a few crumbles of cheese mixed into sweet Russian dressing. Probably would just go with a regular dressing. The staff was great and the waitress was so perky and helpful. The host was extremely nice and accommodating. Nothing bad to say about the staff here ... they are probably the only reason I am giving 4 vs. 3 stars. The prices seem very high ... $19 for 2 sausages ... $26 for Schnitzel ... $14 - $19 for appetizers. $13 pretzel. It's all high quality stuff for sure. But, after tip, my bill was $60 for Schnitzel, a beer and a so-called Struedel. I guess that's kind of everywhere these days though. If you like German food, which is hard to find, they've been doing it for a long time. It's good ... but nothing amazing. The restaurant is clean ... staff is nice ... and menu is unique and authentic. Beer list is good and though $9 each, it comes in a tall glass ... 22 ounces?
