    Super nice counter person
    Rich R.

    Great find and worth the time. This has to be the best peanut sauce in town my wish is that the Massaman curry had cashews in it

    Green curry. Really good! Decent portion too. Also forgot to take a before picture.

    Food was great. I typically get pad gra pao at Thai restaurants as that dish should be hard to mess up. Many Thai restaurants add weird ingredients to it that you would not see in Thailand and so it's a good way to tell if a restaurant is authentic. They have it here but the menu shows it has broccoli in it, which is not typical in Thailand so I skipped on it. However, it is a Thai/Laos combo spot and I know nothing of Laos so I can't judge too much. The dishes we got were really good and fairly close to what you'd expect in Thailand. Delicious! The atmosphere was nice. The food came out SUPER quick. The service was great. I've not nothing bad to say. I would absolutely come back here.

    Very friendly staff, fast service. We stopped in for a quick bite for the first time today. We enjoyed both dishes - medium spiciness still packed a punch. We will be back

    We have wanted to check out this place after reading several reviews. We came on weekday and it was relatively quiet. They also seemed to be doing a lot of To Go Business. We ordered the Pad Thai and Basil Fried Rice. We got 1 level below the spiciest but the next time, we might try the Thai level spice. Both dishes were very tasty. The atmosphere is casual/hole in the wall. The service was fast but I have read some reviews of there being a wait when it gets busy. It is a relatively small place if you decide to eat there. Another reviewer mentioned having some cash on hand in case their internet connection goes down. The food was tasty and we will come again.

    Pad Thai and papaya salad.

    The food was good. I ordered papaya salad and pad thai chicken, both level 5 spicy. The pad thai was really good and spicy. They might have forgot the chilis for my papaya, it was all sweet. No sour or spicy either. I would eat here again though.

    This place is pretty good. The food is flavorful, the portions are good, and prices are reasonable. It's not the most amazing place I've ever been, but for being a local place with a decent lunch special, it's worth stopping at.

    Basil fried rice with shrimp
    Stefanie T.

    Delicious! Stopped here for the first time today and asked the server what he recommended. One of his recommendations was basil, fried rice, and I added shrimp as my protein. It was so fresh and a large portion. I even had some leftover for lunch the next day. Highly recommend give this place a try!

    Lina's has delicious and fresh tasting food in a laidback, cozy atmosphere…read more The service is quick and very friendly! We absolutely loved the food. I got the Pho Noodle Soup and my husband got the pineapple fried rice. Both were absolutely delicious with great flavors. Portions are generous too! The mango sticky rice is to die for. Trust me! I didn't think I'd like it and it was absolutely amazing. We are so glad to have this place so close!

    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!

    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.
