    Very authentic Lao food. Clean environment, cozy, nothing fancy. Just good cheap food!

    Noticed that in this town of Arkansas there are quite a few small businesses. This place was a…read morehidden gem. You're lucky to get a table in there because it's tiny. They have a variety on their menu! Back in Texas I've always wanted to try Papaya Salad luckily I got to try it here for the first time. My plate consisted of papaya salad, wings, and sticky rice. Wings cooked to perfection, great crunch simple no sauce mixed in. I dipped the wings in a chili not spicy whatsoever. The papaya salad you had the option to choose the Lao or Thai style: I went with the Lao style which had shrimp paste a little more pungent. Loved it, it was refreshing and spicy to my likings. I was able to choose how many peppers to add. Two peppers were enough for me, not crazy spicy just enough for me. Definitely worth for what you pay for because there portions were HUGE. Volcano chicken was great, not too spicy and had a sauce with different chilies. The Pad Kee Mao had so much flavor to it. I ordered a combination which had chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp. Loved the thick noodles, bunch of veggies to which is a great balance. Topped it off with some sriracha for some extra kick. Overall, I could tell this place made the food with love. Our waitress was super nice and helpful! In the future once I'm back in this area I'd love to try more off their menu.

    Three tables inside and a corresponding number of parking spots outside. Fortunately, most of the…read morebusiness is to go. You can probably snag a table if you are a little early or a little late, missing the 12 o'clock diners. As far as the parking, just try to squeeze in somewhere. You may have to park across the street. Don't be discouraged, you have to eat here. The food is fantastic! Starting with ...... The best egg drop soup I have ever had anywhere! Bright, freshly made, a noticeable egg yok flavor, smooth, filled with strands of egg white. Big crispy wonton strips on the side provide a satisfying crunch. Mouthwatering deliciousness! I got the Orange Chicken lunch special. A plate full of fried chicken breast chunks, bathed in sauce that was orange in color and very orange in flavor. Fried rice and a good egg roll. It was great. My wife got the winning meal; Ultimate Fried Rice. And Ultimate it was. Fried rice with big shrimp, chicken, beef and pork. I tasted of each of the meats. The beef and the pork were my favorites. My wife liked the shrimp. I thought the beef was delicious. Very nice lean cuts of beef, with a flavor like home made pot roast. The pork was of equal quality. The Ultimate Fried Rice is recommended. Ft Smith has many fine Asian restaurants. Asian Kitchen Express was recognized a few years ago as one of the top Asian carry out restaurants. Whether you eat in or grab food to go from this very small shop, it is one of the best in Ft Smith. Friendly service and great food.

    Hello, my name is Spike! Until today I had been clean, no Larb for 5 months…read more Thai Chicken Bowl operates in an old gas station in Charleston, AR. It is a bare bones mom and pop operation. The restaurant is barren of décor and a vacuum of ambiance. Order at the counter. The food is delivered to your table. Minimal but adequate service. For some reason, I don't know why I ordered the stinky beef Larb. I just don't know why. Too late now. I liked this Laotian version even with the smelly overtones of fish sauce. Am I hooked on Larb, or is it self-mortification? Neither, I think I have accepted the challenge to master my phobia of fish sauce. And frankly I have found that good Larb is well ....pretty good. The description on the menu "Spicy Beef" sucked me in. The meal was filled with thin sliced steak, noodles some type of greens, seasoned with chili pepper and a vinegary sauce. Not too bad. My wife had the Coconut Fried Rice with Chicken. A big plate of food, but not outstanding taste. The Egg Drop soup was fair. It could have been a little hotter (temp). The restaurant has a big varied menu. Chicken Fried Rice seems to be the restaurant's signature dish. Charleston is a small town. I'm thinking the locals appreciate having an Asian food option.

    The food was fantastic! The people who run the restaurant were wonderful. I had the best egg drop…read moresoup ever. Ambiance was okay for a nice lunch.
