Been coming here for over 20 years, just found out the old owner sold the place. Used to have the best papaya salad in Texas! Now. It's NO where as good. Had to throw it away it the trash. Was really really bad. I wish they new owners the best of luck. Really nice people. Plus too much up saleing. Felt I was at a used car lot. But I'm never coming back here again. So sad they sold the place. Guess nothing last for ever.

I tried to check in at the new location that just opened up next to Nguyen Loi, but it wasn't listed on Yelp yet. This review is for that location. I've never actually been to this Beach St. location, but I'm assuming it's the same owner? Anyways, I enjoyed my experience and would give it 3.5 stars if I could. I'll just round it up to 4!Staff- Very friendly and welcoming- Provided excellent serviceCleanliness- Tables and the restaurant itself were clean- Provided sanitizer at the counter Food/Price- Portions are small for the price they charge- Very authentic Lao dishes and everything was delicious- Love the available sauces and authentic Lao comfort food they have for sale in the refrigeratorWe ordered Kow Piak (Lao chicken noodle soup - $9), Papaya Salad (Lao style - $7), Lao Sausage (2 pieces at $2 a piece), Jeow Mak Len (Lao salsa - $3) from the prepackaged food offerings in the refrigerator, and sticky rice (small order for $3). The broth for the Kow Piak was on point. A little on the saltier side (you can taste the MSG), but we enjoyed it. The noodles had the perfect consistency. The sausages were OK. It could use more lemongrass and spices. The papaya salad was solid. Authentic flavors that represented the Lao style (that extra funk!). I just wished they hand shredded their papaya instead. The jeow mak len was fireeeeee! Overall, I'd come back and order some to go food and skip dining in.

I wasn't a huge fan of the pho here. There is only one option and it comes with everything in it so I was unaware of all the meat that is in there. The beef was a little overcooked and wasn't that tender anymore. The broth lacked a little more seasoning and flavor. The sausages for appetizers tasted okay but were a little cold and had a rough texture. The restaurant itself isn't the cleanest of places, but the staff is pretty quick and your food comes out extremely quickly. The place is never crowded and there is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant.

If you like Lao/Thai food then this is the very best place to get fresh papaya salad either mild or hot, I prefer hot and it is located in a nondescript shopping center on North Beach Street. Prices haven't changed much in the past 20 years it is consistently the best time and time again! Trust your boy on this one foodie fam and go and see for yourself and you will not be disappointed, that's a promise!

I love HongThong. We have been coming here for years. You can find traditional Lao snacks and food. From papaya salad to lard Na to pad Thai. But of course my favorite is the pho. This is Lao pho so good. The broth is different than Vietnamese broth but I love it! I love a good Vietnamese pho broth but sometimes I crave the Lao broth as well. This broth has a slight garlic and sweet taste. Perfect for a warm or cold day. Lao comfort food.

I got a sample of HongThong Kitchen's Ground Roasted Chili Peppers from my mom. It's so spicy that I barely need much in my cooking. I wanted more, but there's no way I can go back to Texas during this quarantine to get some since I live out in the boondocks of Colorado. So I decided to send an email just to enquire if they would be so kind to ship me some. They didn't have an online store, so I wasn't expecting much. But I am completely blown away by the customer service at HongThong! Not only did they respond to me promptly, they worked with me to find a way to get all the sauces to me since mail service where I live is a bit tricky. I love to support small businesses with excellent customer care, so I decided to get some sauces for my cousin as well for her birthday. I asked them if they could write a little note in her package, and they went above and beyond. (Spoiler: she loved her sauces and note.) Not only that, they misquoted me for shipping prices and ended up paying the differences themselves, even when I insisted to pay. HongThong Kitchen, I have never been in your restaurant, but I'm definitely a huge fan. I am coming in to eat whenever I get a chance to go back to Haltom City, Texas. But for now, I hope many people get to experience your amazing services and your delicious sauces!!!

Found this gem of a place on yelp and did not regret the experience. I've tried 3 things from here: the pho, kow boun, and kow piat. The food looked and smelled so good as soon as I got it so I never got a chance to take a picture of the first two dishes. But take my word for it because this place is amazing. The food is so delicious and homey that I came here twice in a week. If you're looking for real authentic Laos food in all of DFW, this is the place. My favorite was definitely the kow piat.

Okay so once in awhile I crave laos food. There's not that many laos restaurant because Americans can't take the strong taste. By strong, I mean really fishy or really spicy. But I can, because I'm Vietnamese and this Vietnamese girl can eat some REALLY spicy food. A friend suggested I go here for some papaya salad because its cheap and good. So I did, I got one papaya salad to go! SUPER SPICY PLEASE! They make it after you order so they dont have anything pre made lying around ready to be pack. It's so fresh! I've never been here before so I wasnt sure what to expect. There's a sign that says oriental market but when you walk in...there's just a bunch of dvds and a tiny restaurant. It's obviously family own and that means it has to be good!
