Laos/Thai Foods

The quality of food is going down hill. We used to come here a lot and named the best papaya salad in town. Not anymore. The pork ribs are used to be good quality of meat but now are full of fatty part. The service though, the owner still nice and sweet. Ambiance is not so much since it is just in a food court.We are not going back, sorry.

This is great!Khun Ae (Mrs. Ae) is the nicest restauranteur ever. She brings the Land of Smiles to Arlington and that brings my family back for more. Everyone in fact was gracious and welcoming. The food is excellent, authentic, and made to order with your own level of heat ( 0-5 ).We ordered:1. Pad kee mao gai (drunken noodle chicken) 2. Larb bua (sliced beef salad) 3. Khao pad goong (fried rice shrimp) 4. Som tam Laos (Laos style papaya salad) 5. Boat noodles with beef What's also really cool about the drunken noodles and fried rice is that they fry in either lard or rendered bacon fat! It's an amazing addition of complexity to the already plentiful spices. My kids were shoveling it into their faces! The boat noodles were excellent and reminded me of the roadside... actually in-the-road beef noodle cart in Chiang Mai. It was nice to have culinary call-back -- but with a considerably cleaner venue and air conditioning! I even ordered a set to take home.The beef salad ("larb") is thin sliced beef (including some organs) boiled then mixed with various spices -- mint, cilantro, long pepper, culantro. It's an excellent experience to sit with some sticky rice and fix your own lettuce wraps!I didn't touch the papaya salad, but my wife reported it was worth coming back for. No complaints from me about this food. The only drawback is that the chair in the food court doesn't have plastic caps on the metal legs of the chairs -- so there's a fair amount of screeching from the tile floor and feet of the chairs.

Pros:- For the panang curry, the spice level is up to 5. I asked for 4 and it came out the way I like it. - the service is was good. They will provide you togo boxes if you don't finish your food.- my friend got pad thai and it came out freshly cooked. It tastes pretty good considering the location of this place. - I really like the lao sausages, goes well with rice! Cons:- the rice for my curry was unfortunately undercooked. I'm hoping it was just a bad batch.- food court style, so may have limited seats during busy hours.

HAVE SOME CASH * Food was great it definitely compensated for the prices. The service was good. The lady that took my order was very kind. Everything was great flavor wise. I absolutely LOVE the texture of the papaya salad. The flavor and the spice levels were really accurate. The chicken pad see eew really took me by surprise, I thought with how light it was that it wasn't gonna par with the flavors I'm used to at other restaurants. The sausage was awesome. I'm a crispy Lao sausage kinda girl... it wasn't crispy enough (for me) But it didn't even matter that's how good everything was.

We ordered food from this restaurant via Uber eats today and it was REALLY good. I had the red curry with medium spice. There was just a bit of heat and the sauce was very well balanced in flavor. I will definitely order from this place again!!

Located in the food court in Ben thanh shopping center. Food always full of flavor. Authentic. Taste like ya grandma just cooked it! Hands down one of my favorite Thai/Lao places. Pad kee Mao with beef level 4.. AMAZINGGGG. Can't complain. Only complaint is the Wait on food to go can sometimes take really long no matter what they tell you over the phone. Couple times I called ahead to place an order and they told me the food would be ready in 30 minutes. I get there.. and it seems like they wait til you arrive (to be sure you'll arrive to get/pay for ur food) before cooking so I would have to wait another 30-40mintues which is frustrating...

Authentic Laos food, my favorite place when I'm craving Laos food. If you are new and do not know what to order. Get an order of chicken wings, beef jerky, and sticky rice. They also have a papaya salad with their (spicy levels 1-5), I like my papaya salad medium spicy, therefore I choose a #3 in spicy. After a great meal, I finish of with their mango sticky rice dessert. My favorite:)

My friends and I were bored one night, and decided to travel down to one of Arlington's Asian malls. We were pretty hungry and decided to try some food here. Having heard good things about Thai coffee, I tried this place called Laos Thai Foods. The atmosphere was amazing, seemed fun with a ton of things to do. The staff was beyond friendly. Very welcoming. The first thing I got was the Thai Iced Coffee. It was amazing watching sugar cane being prepared and juiced right in front of us, then subsequently used in the things we've purchased. The Thai Iced Coffee was amazing, much more preferable to Boba in my opinion. I was also feeling a little hungry so I ordered the Beef skewers.I can't say these were super extraordinary or anything, but they were definitely good. It was marinated well in a sweet sauce and portioned off with each piece on the skewer instead of making it one continuous piece that would be annoying to eat. So it was easy to eat and tasted great. The only problem I had with it was how some of the cartilage was too hard to chew. Other than that though, everything was great. The Thai Iced Tea was definitely the star, though.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon around 1 pm. The place was empty, which makes me sad because their food was so good! They have stuff on their menu that no other Thai restaurants would have. I got the Thai boat noodles, and the flavors was amazing. I literally didn't add any other seasonings. My dad also had Thai boat noodles and ordered the larb pa ( koy pa) to go, sis in law for the red curry, and said it tasted very good and authentic compared to most places. My boyfriend got the khao piek sen and throughly enjoyed his soup. I saw so many things I wanted to eat so I would definitely be back again. The service was great and very fast! They are located inside a food court at Ben Thanh grocery store. Cash and Zelle payment only.

Amazing authentic food! I'm Thai so I can confirm that. The owner is very kind and greet us with a smile, we even had little chitchat. I got Ladna and Pad Kee Maw, delicious. Will make our way out to visit again.
