We had a great dinner here with friends. We tried about 75 percent of the items on their menu. We were pleased with the service and the food. Our favorite dishes were the crispy chicken wings, crispy fried rice, drunken noodles, tom yum soup, mango sticky rice, and basil beef. Medium spice was great for me. My friends found it a tad too spicy. So if you’re not used to spice, choose Mild. If you like a little heat then choose medium spice level.

Overall mid. Papaya salad was overseasoned and veggies too soft. Red curry had too much eggplant, but overall ok. The boat noodle with slow cooked beef was the best dish (and apparently also recognized by some outlets). Not very authentic flavors

Such a great spot! I really liked the green Thai tea—it was super refreshing. The Lao sausage was really good, and we got lucky because they had their last order of beef jerky left. It was so yummy and definitely worth getting. The soups - love the broth and the portion of it! The owner was so friendly, and it was nice being able to talk with her in our native language. She gave us some great recommendations, and everything she suggested was a hit. The place itself has a modern, cozy vibe. I loved the decor, and the playlist made the whole experience even better. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were all amazing. Can't wait to come back!

My brother and I wanted to stop and get some lunch and we just so happen to find this place only 15 minutes away from home. The service here is so personal you already feel like family from the minute you step in the doors. The food came out in literally under 10 minutes and the portions are HUGE! Flavor profile is insane. We got the Lao Chicken Wings which came with a homemade chili oil sauce to dip them in 100/10 and we also got the Thai Red Curry which was some of the BEST curry I’ve had in a dish in a while. 1000/10. The owner is so sweet and FUNNY!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 we will back back VERY soon!

Sao Lao is one of our absolute favorite local restaurants! Every dish we've tried has been amazing, and honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Our go-to favorites are the Pad Kee Mow, Beef Jerky, Pork Belly Basil, and Papaya Salad—each one packed with incredible flavor and always cooked perfectly. What makes this place even more special is that it's a small, locally owned business run by some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. The service is always warm and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the quality of their food. We're so lucky to have a restaurant like Sao Lao in the community. If you're looking for authentic, delicious food and want to support a wonderful local business, this is the place. Highly recommend!
