The place is modern and has a great vibe. Our group was able to seat comfortably. The drunken noodles, pad thai, calamari, roti canai, tiger cry, and pork belly was delicious! So many of us ordered more food to take home to our loved ones. The beef had just enough pink, was super tender and lightly charred. The pork crunchy and sweet. The roti fluffy and chewy, the squid fresh and tasty, and the noodles were just the perfect amount of spice. It's definitely a place i will revisit.

Place is so nice and clean. I like that you can sit down and just scan the QR code to order and pay all from your phone. Even with the self ordering the employees were still attentive and interactive to make sure you get what you needed. Food was good and well priced too! ** steak tiger cry - 4.5/5 Steak was soooo good especially with the crack sauce. The steam rice was amazing with this and made well. (I judge places based off their jasmine rice as some taste cheap) I wished there was an option to choose sticky rice with this instead but maybe I could have asked. ** crispy chicken skins - 4/5 The crispy chicken skins were really good and came with the sticky rice which I think it’s best side with since you can grab a bit of rice and skin to dip in the sauce and nom. It was good but I’m not sure if i’d get it again unless I’m really craving for it but I think there’s better on their menu. ** papaya salad - 4.5/5 Love love love the papaya salad and all the veggies they chose with it. It’s all the veggies I mainly want in my papaya salad. The only thing I would like is that if they made it spicier. I did get the highest spice but it was not spicy enough for me. The papaya salad is a must for a side with the main dishes.

It's been a long time since I've been in Houston so I definitely wanted to check out the amazing food scene. This place did not disappoint! The servers and staff were all super friendly. Tom was one of my servers and he was super helpful when trying to choose what to eat and all of them were constantly checked in on each table. I wanted something a little more authentic and so I got the laab steak. Omg. When I say it was flavorful I am not even giving it justice. And honestly for 15.99 you got a hefty portion of food. It's a great deal. I am so full. Lol. I also loved the little things; Like the sticky rice option, the cool wall art and just the overall atmosphere. I highly recommend if your in the area.

Lovely spot for Lao food. We tried the pho, curry noodle dish, and kaopiak noodles, and everything was flavorful and satisfying. The staff were friendly and quick with service, making for a really pleasant dining experience.

the service was fast, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. prices were reasonable, and portion sizes were solid, making it a good value overall the roti was nicely layered with a satisfying char and was especially delicious when dipped into the red curry the crying tiger steak was easily the highlight of the meal. it was cooked to the perfect doneness, very tender, and had a great balance of lean and fatty pieces the drunken noodles had a great texture, not too hard or mushy, and weren't overly oily. there were plenty of vegetables mixed in, which we appreciated. however, it wasn't spicy at all :( the basil chicken was similar in that sense. the basil was very fragrant and aromatic, and there was a generous amount of meat, but again, it lacked any real spice the red curry leaned too sweet for our taste and was heavy on the coconut, which overpowered the curry flavor we were hoping for for dessert, the mango sticky rice had a strong coconut flavor and the mango itself was soft and sweet, but the sticky rice felt slightly undercooked the nam vaan was refreshing and packed with jelly and tropical fruits, making it fun to eat, but it was overwhelmingly sweet in all, the food was decent, but we were hoping for bolder flavors and more heat. the dishes could benefit from more depth, balance, and spice to really elevate the experience!
