The food here was amazing! From the fruit water they spend hours making to the in house gluten free bread (you'd never know) and the in house made fermented mock meats this was such a good meal. We had the fish balls and two classic banh mi sandwiches.

Huge variety of flavorful Lao dishes. If you’re used to eating Thai food, these Lao flavors have more depth and spice! Their prices are great too. We ordered so many dishes including GF pad see ew, Kao soi(not GF) , lao steamed catfish , grilled chicken with jeo seom, sticky rice, Lao papaya salad, and sugar cane juice. They label their menu very well indicating vegan, gluten free, or peanut containing items. My bf is Celiac and we asked about a few items labeled GF. Some items are incorrectly labeled GF, the employee was aware of this as well and recommended against ordering any dishes with fried items. I would personally avoid ordering some noodle dishes just because she mentioned noodles are boiled in the same water (ie:. egg noodles / Chinese rice noodles, ho fun usually contains wheat starch) TLDR: AMAZING place to eat if you don’t have strict dietary restrictions, GF by choice and or vegan. Would def return and order To-Go myself. **If you are celiac and have a strict gluten allergy — be extremely cautious highly likely for CC. Will update if my bf has a reaction, fingers crossed🤞we would love to come back and try other items!
