South-ahan

Always good food, good service , big portions, you will always want to come back. We tried different menu this time, Shrimp fried rice, papaya salad, we also ordered regular menu which the crabs puff and phon.

I have waited over a year to write a review for South-Ahan. Food was phenomenal when they did a soft opening in 2023. The taste, the vibes, and the Jeow Bong they put aside with wings and sticky rice was the only menu that made me come back every week in 2023. It reminded of home and it tasted authentic to me. Then, they were out of Jeow Bong at some point. I went and asked every week over couple months. They said they were busy and shorted staff. They didn't have time to make more. I stopped going there. My husband still ordered carry out here and there for himself in this past year. I went back to dine in couple days ago. They changed the menu and Jeow Bong is no longer a part of wings menu, same as sticky rice. It is a completely different menu called "Sticky wings" served with white rice. Does it taste good? Yes! But it is very Americanized Asian food. I totally understand that the restaurant has to survive and adapt to the area. They can't stay authentic or the community would be like "What kind of food is that? It doesn't taste like other American-Asian restaurants that I have had before." I am sad but completely understand. South-Ahan is still the best asian restaurant in Columbia though. The tables are clean and the service is still great. I am happy that people in Columbia love South-Ahan. They were very busy when I was in the restaurant. Ps. The bright side, they have Jeow Bong in a jar for sale now! Whoop whoop! It tastes exactly the same as last year and it is still the best Jeow Bong version that I like the most. If you can't eat spicy food, please don't even try it. Your mouth will feel like it is on fire and it burns for minutes! That burn is lingering. I have warned you!

We had drunken noodles (with chicken and shrimp), summer rolls, king noodles, pho, and Vietnamese iced coffee. Everything was delicious. So much so that we went the next night to get takeout. Service is efficient. You grab table, order at the counter, they deliver the food to you when they are ready. The staff is friendly and nice. The place is clean and spacious.

Excellent Southeast Asian family-run restaurant. We eat there several times a month.

This place was great I'll definitely be back. From the decor the staff and the food it all was amazing.

Excellent Laos restaurant in Columbia. Great food. Nice ambiance. The food is flavorful and consistently good. Made with care it seems. Good menu too.The Pho is excellent! Ramen is good.

Great food, clean, modern and well run. We moved here from the Bay Area, and missed the Thai food. We were happy to find this restaurant and very impressed with the staff and restaurant.

Food was ok needed more spice I had the pad Thai chicken just was just ok Need to have a better online order

Tasty and fresh. There's a line right at opening for a reason. Everything we've tried is good. No complaints and will return

Best Asian cuisine in Middle TN. I was introduced to the restaurant by a coworker and wasn't disappointed. I live about an hour away but let me tell you that it's worth the tri.
