Updated review for a lunch experience here at Ly's. Things…read morehave changed so much! There is still still an entire wall of refrigerated goods. But the dining flow is smoother and the dining room is larger and more comfortable. They have sacrificed considerable shelf shopping, an entire row - I didn't see my favorite pho packaged broth mix - but I certainly appreciated all the new tables and chairs. You still order and pay up front. There are photos for everything you might want to order, but there is something that cannot really be conveyed. I believe that the heat levels are hotter than most places. They will warn you. Believe them. So I believed it, it was still HOT, and I had to laugh. I still enjoyed it all. So my Husband got his wish and ordered the garlicky Pork Riblets. They are marinated in garlic, fried in garlic, and topped with garlic. So very very good. He also had the Chicken Wings also deep into the garlic flavor and very tender. He shared with me. Thank goodness. So I shared the always crunchy and tasty pork egg rolls. Heaven. They came with their own sauce, but there's a table up by the kitchen with the Hoisin, Sriracha, and other sauces and of course there is a spice tray. My husband had their wonderful green curry and I, the Pad Kee Mao, which was very spicy even at a (2). I wasn't keen on the noodle texture or lack of sauce. I've had many versions of Drunken Noodles and I wanted to like this this one. I love this grocery and restaurant combination. It's aromatic and fun! The locals are here and I love that big picture menu out front. Ly Foods is a special place.

But I recently had the best massaman curry from Laos Thai Foods and it was sooo delicious.

I've heard so many good things about this place and wanted to love it so badly, but the food was…read morevery mediocre. The papaya salad was lacking so much flavor...it was literally bland. The chicken wings were super crispy but also lacked seasoning. The sticky rice was cooked to perfection, and the Lao sausage had a great flavor profile. The beef larb was decent.

Anyway, the food is the most important Sach Ko Ang: It's deep fried which makes them dry and jerky like. Flavor was light and I was pretty sad about it Lort Cha: This was good enough. Not flavorful enough for me but the person eating with me has never had it and really enjoyed it so it's good that others can enjoy it. I really missed having this with some pickled Serrano peppers or something. Twa ko: This was also deep fried. The chew was a bit dense and dry but it wasn't too bad. To be honest it could have been fermented longer and had more seasoning inside the sausage. I missed the punch of galangal and the pungent flavor from fermentation. Overall I probably will never visit again but I enjoy that this place exists and some people can get introduced to Khmer cuisine.

I prefer the wife, rice noodle or Pad See-Ew, so that's what I ordered with beef. There are plenty of seats in the food court and in front of this Apsara stall.

Definitely, it's my new Pad See-Ew place to visit now.

Conveniently located just off Lemmon Avenue, this spot is tucked away at the end of a small…read moreshopping center. Since the center isn't very busy, it's easy to miss--but it's definitely worth finding. The food was served fresh and piping hot. I paid about $15 for an order of chicken skins and chicken potstickers, and both were freshly made and tasted great. They came with a flavorful dipping sauce that really complemented the dishes. This is primarily a takeout location, with limited seating--just a few bar-style seats inside. That said, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. The menu offers a wide variety of unique entrées you may not be familiar with, making it a fun place to try something new. I would highly recommend giving this place a try--you might end up liking it as much as I do.

Solid place for authentic Laos food. Highly recommend if you're missing the taste of Laos food…read more It's not your normal restaurant. They don't ask you about a drink. You just get it from their fridge. I liked their beef larb. Level 4 was pretty spicy. We got it cooked. The Laos sausage was good but tasted like the ones you can buy yourself and cook. Their nam Khao had very good flavor. My only critique is that it could be even crispier and it would be perfect. Their Khao poon is okay not bad. I like my mother in laws better. Khao piek had good hearty broth flavor. Overall would come back if in the area! Their ambiance is a restaurant combined with a market you can get some pantry or frozen foods.

My husband and I stopped at Luang Prabang Market before our flight home, and wow, this place is a…read moretrue hidden gem. It's tucked away and attached to a small Lao grocery store, which honestly made it feel even more authentic. The moment we walked in, it felt like we were about to get a home-cooked meal. We ordered the organ soup with sticky rice, beef lahp, and nam khao, and everything was absolutely delicious. The broth in the organ soup was rich, clean, and deeply flavorful, exactly how it's supposed to taste. The sticky rice came out warm and perfectly chewy. The beef lahp was bright and herbaceous with the right amount of spice and lime, super fresh, and tasted just like what we've had in Laos/at family gatherings. And the nam khao was crispy, tangy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they don't cut corners on ingredients here. What I appreciated most is the authenticity. A lot of other reviewers mentioned that this is one of the few places in Texas where the food tastes "just like home," and I completely agree. Multiple people also mentioned the friendly staff and how the market side carries essentials and hard-to-find Lao/Thai items. We felt the same way, everyone was kind, and the grocery section is a nice bonus for anyone looking for snacks or specialty ingredients. Portions were solid, prices were fair, and the quality was amazing. This is exactly the kind of spot you hope to find when traveling. If you want real Lao food, skip the trendy places and come here instead. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Texas. Highly, highly recommend.

Idk, but I do know I had a really good experience and and much better quality food than I was expecting. This place is a mini mini market / mini restaraunt. Not alot going on inside, I didnt even find a bathroom. Only came for a simple dinner, but due to the size of the place and cozy feel, my dinner turned into an intimate date. Also shout out to the servers for being so chill and just on top of things. We got service and even items brought to us legitimately as we were about to ask for it. Its like the guy was reading my mind... or he has eaten the dish before and knows how delicious they make it. Either way, id come back and I would recommend this place to others. Just not large parties unless its takeout for a large party.
