PHO LAO

This place was a pleasant surprise, and I'm glad my wife and I checked it out. We came on a Sunday around 12pm and we were seated promptly. It wasn't too busy, and there was ample seating.For starters, we got the Papaya Salad, which included carrots, tomatoes, fish sauce, lime, and peanuts with cabbage on the side. The flavors are very strong, but I liked it that way - the fish sauce comes through heavy but delicious.I tried the Pho Lao, which included beef, brisket, tripe, and meatballs - the portion size was very generous, the flavors were all great, and I finished my bowl satisfied.My wife tried the Pad See Eew with tofu, which was wide rice noodles with fried tofu, broccoli, carrots, eggs, snow peas, onions. It was also tasty and was a very generous portion.The service was very nice, quick, and helpful in explaining some of the questions we had. The pricing was very reasonable, especially for the portion size of our dishes. The space is well-kept.I plan to come back when I'm in this area to try out more dishes!

BEST LARP EVER.I am lao and my lao auntie makes the hour+ drive often to eat at this restaurant from the triad just for this larp. The owners are also lao and specialize in raw beef larp aka larp dip. It's the first place I've ever had this on the menu and it's fiiiiire. If you're feeling adventurous for something different, I'd encourage you to try it because they do it the best. My auntie knows the owner, who pridefully cooks the food herself, and told us she has the butcher specially deliver the specific meat to her restaurant for her larp. She knows what she's doing and how she wants to serve it up. Can't be more emphatic about how great it is.Otherwise, walking into the restaurant, the decorations just scream laotian influence. There are a lot of Thai places that have Lao owners but it's not often Lao folks front being a Lao restaurant. There are certainly more these days, but it's not common. It was nice being able to be intentionally represented and picking through very well executed Lao cuisine. We also ordered the Lao papaya salad, with the funk (badack aka fermented fish sauce), Lao sausage, gang (beef soup), and nam khao (lao fried rice) not pictured to go. This place is a go to for my fam especially when treating ourselves or visiting family members to the best. Can't wait to visit again. In the meantime, I've got the larp I've packed to go in the fridge to enjoy another day.

Awesome food, cool spot, great service! Friday and Saturday the purple sticky rice is amazing.

Food was awesome and the service was outstanding. Great atmosphere and clean. Price was very good and portions was very filling.

Food was amazing. Staff was very pleasant and friendly. Service was delivered in a timely manner. Would recommend for anyone that wants to try new food that they have not had before. Loved their tom yum soup, papaya salad and laadna are my go to order.

Delicious and authentic! Everything so fresh and flavorful! Absolutely love the purple sticky rice and lao sausage. Enjoyed with lao papaya salad (not pictured). Service was good considering the limited staff, just be nice and patient. The food is worth it! The ambiance was nice with music playing, not too loud. Everything looked clean and orderly. Can't wait to come back when I'm back in the area.

Pho lao is an amazing restaurant. It is clean on the inside, the atmosphere is great, the food is authentic and delicious, and the waiters are nice.I enjoyed this restaurant, and my grandchildren loved it.

My son and wife eat here at least once a week, if you like Pho this is your place. Fast and friendly service guaranteed

Friendly service great food ask for their shrimp sauce it is very good. They do not play on the spice levels though so watch out. Would highly recommend if you want Asian food

Service was very friendly and food came out at a reasonable time. We got several appetizers and ended up ordering some entrees. Very good! We over heard several people come in and ask for the usual. It was a peaceful environment and the waitress was so sweet.
