Stood out so much among many choices that we ate there three nights out of seven. Offers all the standard Lao authentic dishes but puts a fusion twist on them. Flavors are plentiful and portions are generous. Service was fast even when busy and staff repeats your order and will help with choices.

1. Lao sausage and meatballs; totally different from Isan style with tons of seasoning and not spicy at all. Best sausage I’ve had in Asia. Served with delicious dipping sauces 2) pork stew; variation of Or Lam (staple dish from LP) 3)mango spring rolls; nothing better than spring rolls with awesome peanut sauce and Thai mangoes 4) Lap; staple dish of Lao that you have to try; served with greens and the tastiest purple sticky rice we had; excellent flavors 5) Nem Kho; not sure if crunchy rice is used in Lao but the dish is super tasty with bits of ham and all the Lao flavors 6) grilled fish; probably not authentic and definitely a yuppie version of grilled river fish but incredibly delicious 7) mango papaya salad; Lao style is more sour than Thai som tum but this version is much better than we had at the more famous Tamarind restaurant. 8) Kho Soy in Laos is quite different from northern Thailand and substitutes curry and yellow noodles with tamarind gravy and flat rice noodles. This version is delicious but not at all spicy which I believe is toned down for tourists 9) Riverweed is similar to Japanese dried seaweed but improves on it with peanuts, sesame seeds and delicious Jao (Laos dipping sauces)

Overall, our favorite restaurant in LP but make sure you eat more authentic versions of the dishes elsewhere as well and be sure to try Jhow which are also dipping sauces (they don’t use the word but have an appetizer with it). Five stars all around.
