    Nice and inviting owner. Papaya was good but on the sweet side if you like sweet papaya definitely recommend portion size was good.

    If it's possible to give a restaurant more than 5 stars, I would. Everything was fantastic, from…read morethe service, to the coziness of this restaurant. I wish I took pictures of the interior, as it felt so intimate and the seats were comfortable. The food of course, are the stars of the show, and I've never been blown away from how good everything was. The Pad See Ew had a yummy smoky, wok hei flavor that not a lot of places incorporate. The ribeye is cooked perfectly, green curry has a nice coconut sweetness to it. And the laotian sausage, paired with their sauce and sticky rice hits the spot. This place was indeed comforting and my only regret is not trying more items. If you're craving southeast asian cuisine in an intimate atmosphere, I can't recommend this place enough.

    The flavor tho…read more.. Came here for dinner, and it is a super cute spot. We ordered a few things, and everything was so flavorful. Some of our favorites were the lamb larb and yellow curry. Both packed a good amount of heat at the spicy level, which we loved. The Lao sausage was also super flavorful, but as soon as you cut it, the inside does fall apart a bit. It's a personal preference to have a denser sausage. Service was also ok. We found ourselves needing to call over the waitress a couple times, since we were just sitting waiting to order or get a box and check at the end. Flavors are worth coming back for tho.

My favorites are the papaya salad, stuffed chicken thighs, Nam Khao, and the sausage. I order the same dishes every visit, and I always get two orders of the papaya salad. That's how much I love it! Everything is packed with flavor, and I keep coming back because the quality never disappoints.

Service was excellent. The waitress was so attentive and kind and the food came out quickly. The restaurant is bigger than I remember, with lots of seating. Now on to the food part. I ordered a Lao style papaya salad, with a hot level of spicy. It definitely had a kick. My mouth wasn't on fire but I was definitely sweating. The spice level was perfect and the salad had just the right amount of savory and salty; one of the better papaya salads that I've had in the Sac area. I also ordered kaopiek, which is my favorite type of noodles. I tend to like my kaopiek's broth a bit more thick and gooey, while this one was a bit more runny. Nevertheless, the kaopiek was really good. The broth had a really good chicken flavor; All I added was a bit of fish sauce, lime, chili oil and fried garlic. The broth was fresh and flavorful and the noodles were perfect! I am definitely choosing Laos Kitchen over other SEA spots in the area.

I didn't like the pad see ew at all (flavor or ingredients - where's the broccoli or egg?) and the kaopoon needed a lot more coconut milk. I also prefer thicker noodles for my kaopoon. The ones they used were like angel hair thickness compared to the spaghetti sized ones i like. The Thai tea tasted fresh, but I've had better. My bf got the yellow curry and said it was good. I don't like curry so it was a no for me. Prices were fair and much better than most places. Service was also good. Order at the window. Seat yourself and the lady walks around to the front to bring the food to you. You grab napkins, utensils, and sauces yourself. Cute outdoor vibes, but not great in winter or extreme weather. It was windy and cold when we went, so not ideal but it wasn't horrible. Parking was easy. We parked on the street across from Smart & Final. There are some parking spaces right across the alley, but I'm not sure if it's ok to park there.. there weren't signs saying it was only for residents or a specific business, but the street parking wasn't much further so we didn't bother moving our car. Overall, I wanted to love it, but it just wasn't my personal taste preference. For reference, my favorite Thai place right now is Tuk Tuk. But, I would still recommend that people try it. Others seem to really love it, so I guess it just depends on how you like your Thai food. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

Nothing fancy, nothing upscale. Hole in the wall, you order your food through a written menu in a makeshift kitchen window to order and have a seat until your food is ready. As for the food, it is everything authentic and delicious as you'd expect! As for a lack thereof, the flavors and spices and textures you get from any dish would make you miss home as they make each plate so cozy and comforting. It's a home away from home style. The staff were so heartwarming and nice, they treated each guest as family. The noodles in the soup were made to order. The broth in each was thick and flavorful. Kao poon was rich and creamy while the kao piek was aromatic and herbaceous. You know you're getting great food when this place is giving you PURPLE STICKY RICE and home made JEOW!

I always order the Laos sausage or the jumbo fried wings, both with extra tomato dipping sauce. You have to get a side of sticky rice to eat as well. Customer service is still good. Despite it being late and at times crowded, we are always taken care of and our food comes out in a timely manner. The restaurant itself is pretty clean. The tables, chairs, and restroom aren't usually clean when we are here late at night. I took away one star since the jumbo wings almost always has feathers. So I pick them off before eating. Overall, still a staple for dinner.

Few things why it gets 2 stars 1. Our table when seated were not wipes clean, still had grease marks and had a bug on the table. While we killed the bug with a napkin and were wiping the table, the waitress came and clearly saw us doing so, she didn't even bother to offer to clean it with a sanitized towel. She just carried on with giving us a menu. 2. I ordered large beef pho, the broth was bland and tastes watered down, the portion was decent however the 3 beef meatballs they added tasted bad like it's been sitting out in room temp all day. I ended up spitting it out. 3. My wife ordered papaya salad and a order of wings. The 4 deep fried wings took 20 minutes to come out and unfortunately it also tasted slimy upon biting in and she ended not eating it. Place gets 2 stars because bathroom was clean and although it was not the best pho, it was decent and I finished my pho bowl.

It was served with a sweet and spicy sauce which provided a tasty contrast. I ordered the vegetarian Tom Kha and it was served with a lot of different vegetables. The flavor of the soup was good, but not as strong as I would have preferred. It was served in a dish with a heating element in the center so it stayed very hot during our meal. The basil fried rice with chicken did not contain much basil or chicken. The flavor was good, however it was lacking ingredients such as vegetables and meat. The green curry was tasty and contained a decent amount of veggies and chicken. The eggplant and chicken were tender and my favorite part of the dish. There is a mandatory 18% gratuity charged for 5 people or more. There are no booster seats for children. There is an extra 4% charge for credit card payments. Service was good as the worker was friendly.
