    Absolutely amazing. We stayed a few days in Portland on a PNW trip. Looking to compare hybrid Lao/Thai restaurants, which are rarer in LA, we found this gem. I can honestly say the food is wonderful along with the service, including the owner who is there helping to ensure quality and customer service. I'd recommend the crying tiger steak, larb, stuffed chicken wings, and noodles, as those dishes were excellent. We did ask the owner if he thought about setting up in LA but he is happy to be serving the fabulous city of Portland. Will definitely visit again when we are in town.

    I had a really nice time here. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The food was great. How did they get that fried egg to be so fluffy and crispy?! Ambience was perfect. Fun, relaxed, and casual. Plenty of locals and regulars in this place to stop for a drink or bite before their next activity. Many gluten-free and vegan options!! Sorry I already took a bite before taking my food photo. Priorities... Am I right?

    I'm from Oklahoma and wanted to try something "Portland-ish". This place is probably the keenest vibe. The food, I was just winging it and well..... I loved the spice, I loved the additional cucumber to offset the seasoning and well the egg..... who doesn't like a fried egg. It all just works, not to mention the drinks Oh just try this place and chill, sing, eat and drink. Taylor and Tina are the best and go above and beyond to make sure your taken care of, oh man to be able to come back here I only want them!!

    Cute interior and no wait for 5 on a sunday. The food was good, surprisingly authentic on items like the lao papaya salad. The portions were also pretty big on the house menu. They could be shared if you aren't that hungry. Though the food was good, nothing really stood out to me as amazing. I would try it if in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way to do it.
