“ A small restaurant, we took soup and fried rice. The food was great, flavourful, and reasonably large portions. It was also served in beautiful ceramic tableware. Highly recommend. ”

“ I love this place. The food is great. Tasty and feel like eating at home. Its just a little different about yum Nam sod, it was too sweet. However, I will go back here to eat again. ”

“ This place is a delight. We were going to be passing by Lowell. Though I had never been to Lowell before, I had heard that there are a bunch of Southeast Asian immigrant communities living there, and equally a large variety of Southeast Asian cuisine restaurants in town. I was particularly craving Laotian cuisine. We stopped in to order to go. Once we walked in the door, we were greeted warmly I forgot to ask for the hostesss name. I said up front we wanted to order take out so she gave us a seat with menus and offered us two large glasses of ice water. After placing the order, I started to take in all of the decor. Its pretty sumptuous, and at times I might call it a little decadent, but Im guessing the goal is to make customers comfortable and feel like they are in a small palatial setting. There is a lot to look at in the large display cases, above and below the bar, in the corner with the ornate rosewood? table, chairs thrones?, and divan. Lots of beautiful, spiritual, and fun, carved statues. Our food was ready within 25 minutes, which was about the time we finished looking around from our seats at the heavy wooden tablechairs area. The food smelled fantastic as we dove home. The dishes did not disappoint in the least. We ordered C14. Nam Kao deep fried rice with pork sausage and peanuts, to be wrapped with lettuce leaves. C12. Pad Pak Boong water spinach. C7. Kra Pao Moo Krob stir fried pork belly with bell peppers and onion B6. Lao sausage Side of Jasmine rice Everything was wonderful and fresh with delightful flavors. We would order these dishes again without hesitation. And Im sure that there are many other things on the menu that deserve trying. That said, the star among our ordered dishes is the Nam Kao. That particularly was what I was craving and this is among the best that Ive had to be clear, Ive only eaten Laotian food in the US Ive never been to Laos. The textures and the flavors were perfect. The Lao sausage was also worth writing home about. Definitely give this place a try. Note that there are only a few tables to sit at in this tiny restaurant, so if its a busy night you may have to wait outside. I will add photos and label them too. ”

“ I had this restaurant recommended by a Lao friend who is in the restaurant business and it did not disappoint. If you want truly authentic Lao food that caters to the local Lao population this is a great option. You will get food cooked like they do at home not modified to an American palette that is more accustomed to Thai food. Small restaurant with limited seating, and lots of Lao decor. The staff was very friendly. There are 6 parking spots right in front or else street parking. The cooked larb beef was fantastic. Often if you can find this dish at a Thai restaurant it will be ground beef which isnt as good, but not here. Thinly sliced beef with lots of aromatics. Make sure to order a side of sticky rice which it is typically eaten with. There was enough food for 2 people if you ordered 2 sides or rice. Heat was on a scale of 110 and they gave me a medium. I like spicy food and boy was I sweating. I was also recommended the Kao Piek soup and absolutely loved it. It balanced out the heat from the larb since it is not spicy. It is similar to an American chicken noodle soup, but 10X better. Very thick broth with tons of garlic and very comforting. They hand make the noodles everyday. If you want it spicy, typically you add chili oil not sriracha which is a condiment at the table. Their chili oil is much spicier than other Asian restaurants Ive been to so taste it first. ”

“ Great food, great suggestion, quaint and cozy place. Kra Pao with beef or chicken are recommended. ”

“ Five stars all around. Everything weve ordered on two occasions now has been delicious and unique. We love the quiet, friendly, and attentive woman thats served us, and the homey atmosphere. Well be back again and again. Would love for them to take their wonderful chicken wings to a spicier level. Im a wingnut and if they did, theyd get my top prize for eastern MA. ”

“ Food was very good and very authentic. I enjoyed the Larb Gai and Khao Piak. Definitely recommend. ”

“ Color of the food looks scary but you dont have to go to Thailand to eat. Just come here the tast is real ... ”
