Reviews Lao Street Food

Besides home cooked Lao food that's made to our taste, this is the place we now call our homecooked Laotian place. We love the flavors here compared to the saltier Laotian place on PIB and 285. Cute little place a little outside of downtown Lawrenceville but super easy to get to situated inside of an unassuming dead looking shopping center/mutli ethnic converted churches? Yes sound weird but true. Can't have enough about the sampler platter, a must for the first timer to all the different bites. The chicken wings are marinated over night and fried to a nice crisp and not overly dry like typical wings. The beef jerky is definitely jerky and need some chewing but flavor is on point without being too salty and overbearing. I wasn't as impressed with the crispy pork since I can see getting too chewy if not eaten right away when brought to the table. The papaya salad at mild had a nice spice to it, I would of gone with medium or regular spice but that would killed the wife. She loved it so much that we bought another order to take home. On to the noodles. The Lao chicken noodle soup is all I want from now on when you mention chicken noodle soup. The homemade noodles had a nice chew and the thick broth was in deed chicken. The Lao lad na also has homemade flat rice noodle but the dish itself needed more noodles. Recommend adding some acid to it, hence the spicy vinegar that accompanied it. Dish was full of all the main components which were superb and reminded me of a Chinese dish but way better and lighter. I'm definitely eating this dish later on top of white rice. Sleeper dish was the crispy rice salad. My wife couldn't stop eating even when we still had the dessert sampler to try out. It's not a salad as you think, but crispy rice with ham, peanuts, coconut spices and others sitting on top of lettuce. Grab a piece of lettuce and stuff it with some of this rice and you can't go wrong. Dessert trip provided a great taste of all the dessert choices. Combining the savoring coconut puffs with the coconut gelato was out of this world. We tried more then 70% of the menu and will come back for more.

Great little spot to stop by and grab some yum yum! Plenty of parking but it's a little drive away from Atlanta but you'll want to get the combo plate and combo desert plate as well! It will be worth the drive plus if you're about that sapp life then it's all good! We ordered combo plate (Lao sausage, crispy pork belly, bun noodles, sticky rice, chicken wings, and cabbage), nam khao(crispy rice salad with fermented pork), lad nad (sticky stir fried flat rice noodle), and their famous yummy dessert combo (you'll have to go try it to know)! I'll be back next time I get a chance to go that way!

This place is a wonderful place to go of you want some delicious food! Everything is so flavorful and beautifully presented. The crispy rice salad is my absolute favorite. I could eat it every day if I could. It is crip, flavorful, and too easy too eat. I enjoy that you can request different levels of spice for the majority of the dishes. I highly recommend the Taste of Laos if you want to try a little of everything. The desserts are also so fresh and decadent. The mango sticky rice is to die for. Their sugar cane juice is super refreshing as well. I always to go some because it's such a great treat to have though the day. The vibe of the restaurant is nice and cozy. I have been here twice now, and my sever for both was Skyler. He is nice, courteous, attentive, and hosts such a welcoming energy! Highly recommend this place.

Very good! Basil fried rice was awesome...
