Very authentic Lao restaurant unexpectedly found in OKC of all places. Service was fast and the ambience was really cool. For two big eaters we got the sticky rice, crispy rice salad, fried spare ribs, papaya salad, chicken laab, and house made sausage. Definitely worth a try!

Authentic? Sure, but award winning? Kind of a head scratcher.

Phenomenal is the only word I can come up with. I’ve never tasted something with so much flavor in one bite. We had the crunchy rice salad, beef jerky, grilled beef, sausage, chicken wings and sticky rice. We tried the fried ribs as well.

If you want to try some authentic Laotian cuisine, this is a must visit place. The chef of this restsursnt has been a James beard finalist 2023 and semifinalist in previous years. This falls under America’s 50 best restuarant and has several awards to it’s name. After trying their food, I can safely say that they deserve all the accolades. We tried their crispy rice salad, pork ribs, jerky and some mocktails. We liked everything except their spicy girl mocktail. Their crispy rice salad is perfection. I can go there again and again just for that. If you like spicy food then make sure to get their chilli sauce as well. Definitely recommend this gem hidden quietly in OKC’s history district.

This place is small. We had to wait for our table. Glad we did. The food is out of the world. If you love spicy food, you come to the right place. There is non spicy food as well that my kids can eat. Can’t wait to come back to try other menu!

This was my first experience with Laos cuisine and I was pleasantly surprised! A little hesitant at first due to the amount of pork on the menu. My boyfriend convinced me to try the chicken wings (bone in). The flavor….WOW!!! The coconut soup is the icing on the cake! Great place.

One of the coolest restaurants in the city! From the beautiful aesthetic to the amazing food, this place is a delight. The best part was our amazing waitress Sam. She made us feel extremely welcome and made eating dinner an experience. 10/10 would recommend!!! I ordered the Crispy Rice salad with the pork on the side, the catfish dish and sticky rice. You absolutely should try this place and request Sam as your waitress, she also gave me a great recommendation for a nail salon! She really is the G.O.A.T. I’m convinced people come for the food and come back for Sam.
