Dallas-Fort Worth | Lao-Thai Spot with INSANE Raw Shrimp

Haven’t had raw marinated shrimp this good in ages—absolutely mind-blowing. 🦐 Goong Sair Nam Pa – Raw shrimp ceviche. It’s not printed on the menu; just show the staff these words and they’ll know. Flavor profile: Thai-style = tangy, spicy, garlicky lime bath. The shrimp are silky-smooth, almost jelly-like—zero fishy taste, even for first-timers. My personal ranking: Thai > Teochew > Korean raw shrimp, and this one tops the chart. 🍲 Khaopoon – The bright-red coconut curry noodle soup. Mild heat by default, loaded with blood cubes, chicken feet, herbs. Add chili oil if you want more kick. 🥓 Crispy Pork Belly – Shatter-crisp skin, served with a house-made spicy-lime dipping sauce that cuts the richness perfectly. 🍛 Yellow Curry – Spice level is customizable; fragrant with coconut milk, served with steamed rice. 🥗 They dedicate an entire page to papaya salads—including a raw blue-crab version (Thum Crab). Too full today; that’s my next mission. 📍 Asiannights Lao Thai Cuisine & Bar #DallasEats #FortWorthFood #DFWFinds
