Seriously, so good! We grabbed food to go while we were hanging out at Wandering Leaf Brewery and were very impressed. The wings were crispy to perfection and so flavorful--even the cucumbers that come with the wings were delicious. You can't go wrong with the egg rolls; they were very good as well.The restaurant was small, but they do have a few tables if you want to eat there. The customer service was amazing, and we'll definitely be back to try more food.

Food: 3.5/5 stars Service: 5 starsAmbiance: 4/5 starsFriendly service was greeted right away at the door. Cashier asked if I had any questions about the menu to ask. Which everything on the menu was self explanatory except for the crab Rangoon where I didn't know that it was a dip. But nonetheless was delicious.

Go there!Amazing food, really something else!! A true hidden gem. Pretty much take out, but you can grab a beer or a drink at the Wandering Leaf Brewery and sit down and eat. We were headed for the brewery for trivia night and looking for some good, different local food close by. Yelp delivered :)This place is so cool and the food is really thoughtfully designed. It's different and much more flavorful than any other Thai or Lao food I've ever had.Also, the vibe of the staff is friendly and very accommodating.We had the OG wings, the Naem Khao Crispy Coconut Rice, and the Laab Seen - Charcoal Beef Salad. All were absolute winners. The Laab Seen was very spicy, even though we ordered it at the 'medium' spice level. Very tasty.I'd recommend ordering family style so you can share plates and all of the wonderful tastes.I'll definitely be back. Soon.

The Best Restaurant in St Paul award And they have a rotisserie belly plate . Is very delicious

I've visited them once a while back when they had the food truck. I finally made it to their actual restaurant. It's really cute, next to the Wandering Brewery. The guy was very helpful with the menu. I wanted to eat the pork belly and checked to see if anymore was available, he confirm there are. So we added an order of the sausages. both came with a small container of sticky rice and jeow tomato. Spicy tomato sauce for dipping. Once I picked up my order, they were out of the pork belly. He refunded the amount charged and gave me an order of chicken wings to accommodate. They were delicious. Sausage was really good too, full of herbs and flavors.

Went on a Wednesday and ran into their Wednesday Wing special, so I got some OG wings and papaya medium spicy/spicy, and it came with HEAT Service was great, the person in the front helped walked me through the menu downside, their most popular are usually sold out so fast

Amazing food, super friendly staff - a must try!I ordered the O.G. wings, Naem Khao (Crispy Coconut Rice), Noakeo's Eggrolls, and Garlic noodles. My favorites were the wings and noodles. Both had a perfect balance of sweet and savory and even a little bit of spice. The rice was good, but crispy rice isn't my favorite thing. Delicious flavor and generous servings. We ate next door at wandering leaf which had lots of seating and I highly recommend digging in there. On Wednesdays, they have a deal where you can get 3 pieces of chicken wings instead of 5 and $2 off a beer for a reduced price.It was a little pricey, but I'd give it a try at least once.

This is primarily a takeout place parking is pretty good since it is in a strip mall with a large parking lot. The ambiance for pick up was very good. The place is nicely decorated making it feel homey and clean. There were 2 tables so limited seating, but you can go next-door to the brewery if you want to sit and eat.Service was very good - online ordering was very easy and it was ready when I got there by the time and the food was still hot by the time I got home! The food: Egg rolls - a must get. Perfectly small compact portions that pack a nice flavorful bite. Chicken skewers - this was the best thing of all things that we tried. The chicken was perfectly spiced and was juicy and felt like a good deal for $14Crispy pork belly - this was very yummy and the green sauce was a little spicy, overall I did not feel like this was worth $23. Pork belly is very rich and fatty and really you should only have a few pieces. It was good and I'm not sure where else you would get this so it's worth a try. It comes with white sticky rice, which was also good but if you just have a bite with spicy sauce, one piece of pork belly and the rice, it feels a little bit dry and bland and spicy! Chicken noodle dish - oh man this was life-changing and if you're going to get an entrée get this great portioning for $20. I've never tasted anything quite like this. The flavors were very bold. Only complaint a little greasy but really amazing and would get this again.There is also a side of sticky rice pictured for $5 and I thought that it would go with the chicken skewers but overall I think you can just skip this.

Their wings were so delicious and I'm a weenie about eating food on bones and I still think about these wings. Also had the seafood salad - it was spicy, very good but I probably won't order again because the spice level was past my enjoyable point.

Holy crap! How have I not discovered this place earlier with all those 5-star reviews! I drive by this place all the time and it's kind of hidden between the Aldi and the brewery in the W. 7th strip mall. We initially came here to support the owners, who are parents of the same school that my kid goes to. We were blown away. It's takeout, but there are two small bartops where you can eat. The roasted, slow cooked pork belly was out of this world. The coconut fried rice / lettuce wrap was also amazing. Will definitely be back.
