I've been wanting to try this place out since it opened and finally got the opportunity to come for a late weekday lunch. The restaurant is located in a strip mall, so parking is very convenient. The dining area was spacious with lots of natural light coming through.
Everything we ordered was delicious. For starters, we ordered the spring rolls and papaya salad (Laos style). The spring rolls were refreshing and the rice paper wrapper was not dry at all. It came with a sweet, dark dipping sauce. The papaya salad was very flavorful. A good balance between, acidity, sweetness, savory-ness, and spicy-ness. I ordered it with a medium spice level but it still packed a pretty big punch (still very good though).
As for our mains, we ordered a regular sized bowl of beef ball and thin sliced beef pho and pad kra pao (a.k.a. holy basil stir fry), with pork. The pho broth was savory and had a nice beefy umami to it. The pad kra pow was also very tasty, and well seasoned. I ordered this in a "medium" spice level as well. The fried egg that topped the dish was also cooked to perfection. Crispy outer egg white, with a runny, gooey egg yolk on the inside.
Service was casual, but very friendly. We will definitely be returning, and recommend checking them out. read more
