HIDDEN GEM ALERT!! Oh...my....god....this place is AWESOME. I'm almost nervous to leave this review…read morebecause I don't want it to become over busy and lose its authentic charm. It's located in a tiny market in a very unassuming party of town - but make no mistake - nestled between barber shops and low income housing is arguably the best Thai food I've had in DFW The flavor was so deep and rich. Melt in your mouth flavor for the pork ribs and sausage. The vermicelli curry was phenomenal and the Thai papaya salad was super fresh and delicious. Spring rolls on point and the service was so friendly. Beef larb was very authentic tasting. The guy who took our order was awesome. And to top it all off? Great prices and tons of ACTUAL Asian people eating there. That's how you know it's good!

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.

The vibe is what you'd expect from a classic Asian eatery, but the flavors here are anything but typical. Already counting down the days until my next visit! Oh...it's BYOB also!

I ordered this often via DoorDash as well as in person just depending on where I am at the time of creating my order. If I'm in the area, I will definitely stop by however for example, if I'm at work, I'll make sure it's getting delivered as I arrive home. The team is very nice. The flavors are very full. They don't serve wine, which is my only downside lol I wouldn't mind a little glass of Chardonnay is my order sometimes. Might go to order is Pad See Ew spicy level five with pork and you can't forget about their crispy eggrolls. Try them soon you won't regret it. Xoxo.

This place is legit, the real deal! I recommend stopping by if you are in the area because it is so worth it. They are located in a small shopping strip mall thing on the Haltom city / Fort Worth border. I have had their duck, the tum yum soup, a rice noodle dish, and an appetiser I can't remember. During my most recent visit, I had the green curry with beef at a level 2 spice and the drunken noodles level 4. I love that they make sure to ask what level of spice you want on every dish because i have been to a couple of places that just make them all the same level as your main dish. In the past, I have gotten their Tum Yum soup, and its delicious. I had their pad se ew with beef, amazing. I had their spring rolls, pork belly, and they are one favorite things on the menu. I always end up ordering more than what I can eat, so i usually order dinner here and then take my leftovers for lunch to work the next day. The service here is great; they have lots of space to host a big lunch rush. Highly recommend yall try them out.

I got the egg noodle soup with bbq pork (with shrimp & wontons!) that was clearly made fresh and served straight from the pot. It was flavorful with plenty of bok choy and reminded me of a grandma's homemade cooking. The gentleman who took my order casually chatted with me for a bit and was kind enough to bring the food over to the table I was sitting at. Some of the best homemade food is from the hole in the wall places - in this case a food court - so don't let it intimidate you. Just try it.

No one was present as soon I walked up, but as she came around the corner she acknowledged me right away as she was taking food to a table. She repeated my order to make sure we were on the same page and I noticed if the modification wasn't in the computer, it was written on the ticket. The ambiance - it is located inside Ben Thanh's food court. So it's an open cafeteria like the mall food court. I got my food to-go. However, I did see a couple ladies eating and everything was served as if it were a restaurant (they had a hot pot) I wasn't being nosey or anything, lol! I will return!

I was feeling under the weather and really wanted some soup but then ordered waaay too much food…read morefor me and my daughter. The food ordered: pad Thai, tom kha chicken soup, yum soon sen salad, egg rolls, crab Rangoon, a side of fried rice, and jeow som sauce. I ordered off their restaurant app which does include service fees. My total was $64.22. As a whole, the food is really good, nice proportions, and steaming hot. I asked for no spice on the pad Thai and mild spice in the soup and noodle salad. But the pad Thai got all the spice. AND I MEAN SPICY! My daughter was sad at first but powered through and enjoyed it and cleared her sinuses while she was at it LOL. Simple mistake, and lesson learned to make sure everything I order in the future is at the no spice level. The crab Rangoons are thin, delicate and crispy- the filling was slightly sweet and delicious. Very good with the sweet and sour sauce that comes with it. The egg rolls weren't our favorite but they were still tasty. Just not so crispy as we would have liked. The soup was exactly what my cold needed! It cleared my nose instantly. The show stopper was the yum woon sen salad. My daughter and I fought over leftovers. It's the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and sour. A new favorite for sure! We will definitely be back to try other dishes and support this local gem!
