Lao & Thai Kitchen

This food truck has been my go-to for years, and it never fails to impress. The salt and pepper wings are a must-order with their perfectly breaded and seasoned goodness. The crunch of onions and jalapeños adds a delightful texture, and the spicy, flavorful sauce is simply amazing. Another favorite is the Nam Khao, a crispy rice salad with soured pork that's both crispy and bursting with flavor. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend this food truck to anyone seeking amazing food. It's a hidden gem that deserves to be explored and savored by all food enthusiasts.

The food here is mouth-watering!! I cannot get over the Lao papaya salad here. The beef jerky, both Lao and Thai, are very tasty, they can be chewy but that's jerky. The chicken wings are to crave for! I don't know of a cart around the area or in Portland that has comparable wings and papaya salad. I am very picky about my papaya salad and this place doesn't miss. This cart has great hours for lunch and they're even open late for dinner. Anytime they give you a time estimate they're right on time. I recommend this place for anyone looking for their next Lao/Thai food adventure. It's a must try.

I can't believe I have lived around the corner from this place for years and only now have tried it! We ate before I could get pictures, but there was so much food left over you can hardly tell. We love thai food, and this is now our new favorite spot. We got Tom yum, pad thai, basil fried rice, popcorn chicken and thai papaya salad. Everything was amazing. We can't wait to try some other items we were eyeing!

This place is our all time favorite, everything about this place is so special to me and brings back flavors from my childhood, their Jeow is my favorite!! I can't find this flavor anywhere else. The service is great! The nam khao with Lao sausage together wow just wow!!! The Thai papaya salad with the jerky is top tier I can't stop raving about this place and not to mention we do not live here, we come from Seattle, Washington just to eat here!!

All I can say is wow this place is a must go to! It's around all different food trucks with outside seating. We have been trying to find Lao style papaya salad and how they make it was spot on. We also got the pepper salted chicken and it was cooked to perfection; with a nice crunch and tender juicy meat.

THE BEST SALT AND PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS IN TOWN!!!! Formally Thai Dok Khem and they are back!!!! No one's salt and pepper wings can compare! Crunchy and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! Try it yourself to see the hype! I suggest calling ahead for the wings because they do sell out. The wings come with rice, onions, jalapeños and a side of spicy dipping sauce.

Food was pretty basic. Ordered Mongolian beef ($18) which came with 5 thinly sliced seasoned beef strips, steamed veggies and a cup of rice. It definitely lacked flavor and portion was extremely small for the price. Also, ordered popcorn chicken and it reminded me of something you could get from a Chinese food stall at the mall. The popcorn chicken ($15) does come loaded with plenty of rice but could have used a side veggie to complement it. Not impressed so far. Will probably give them one more try and come back to try their papaya salad and wings.

This place is awesome. So many food options, I haven't tried them all but I doubt any one of them would drop my rating. The dude and his wife are super friendly and you can taste the love and passion they put into their food with every bite you take. I've also seen them help out people in need with free meals, so not only are they a business but they are involved and invested in the community they serve. I must also mention that whatever they do to the rice they serve, it's always just as good the next day (the portions are so large I always have leftovers) which is something I've never experienced from a restaurant before. I hope they never leave this spot.

The serving sizes are the most generous of any Thai place I've ever been too. The Pad Thai is top notch, and worth going just for that. They charge extra for any protein (including tofu), so be prepared for a $1-$3 price bump to add meat. The red curry was WAY too salty, so much so that it was inedible, even after mixing it with all the rice that came with it. Prices are cheaper if you call or order in person rather than going through grub hub online. I'll be back again for the Pad Thai.

Friendly, hard-working couple that make the best lao-thai food I've had in SE. Heavy on fish sauce. Spicy and flavorful. Popcorn chicken, salt and pepper shrimp and nam khao are my favorites. Beats the heck out of some of the local thai places that do an okay job but taste on the bland side, almost "American" thai.I do think they ought to add a bit more seasoning on the pineapple fried rice. Not enough salt. Doesn't really taste like much unless you add some..
