Terrible food. All around bad service. Overall they did the right thing. But when asking for questions about menu items the server we found her to be a little rude and treated me as if I have never had lao food before.
Original plan was to have Kha soi,(only place in las vegas i could find that serves it) drove over 40 mins to get here. When I ask her about kha soi she says they no longer use the proper noodle, and that they substitute it with a pho noodle. I was hesitant at first but ordered it any way. Few seconds later after thinking that I dont want a soggy noodle texture, and wanted a chewy texture I changed my order to the intestine soup instead. What arrived was not anything I have ever seen or tasted before. It was dark, watery and sweet. Just horrible. Had one sip and ate one piece of gizzard. Still have a nasty after taste in my mouth
The Nam Ka had hardly any nam or rice just tons of green onion and cilantro. With probably half a head of lettuce.
Pork belly was nicely fried however The "jeow" was terrible mince ginger mixed with typical egg roll sweet/sour. Was hoping for more of a garlic lemon grass chilli and fish sauce mix.
The ko piek was a joke it was simply a basic broth and a chewy round noodle. Not savory or flavorful but she was hungry and ate it anyway since it was what she wanted, but wasn't terrible either.
My wife of lao and thai decent was surprised they'd serve it like this and question why they are in business.
We asked the server to pick up the Nam ka and the intestine soup and we didn't want to pay for it either. She walks off angry and comes back with a 10% off our whole order including the non-edible food items. We told her that wasn't going to happen and if need be we would like to speak to the chef or owner. She made a call and we waited about 10 to 15 minutes while she swept and cleaned. A gentleman walks in comes to our table and asks us whats wrong. So we tell him and he says this time he will waive the food and will only charge us for pork belly sticky rice, ko piek.
Overall he did the right thing, however serving terrible food or taking shortcuts will not do them any favors in the long run. We won't be back and won't suggest this...

Read moreZERO STAR!!!!!!! The owner/server adjusted the tip on my credit card slip, Food portion was small, ordered Pork Larb and what we receive is 70% cilantro and barely any meat. The taste was whatever. I had better Laotian food elsewhere. Service is bad, how can you not refill water when the food is so spicy??? Common sense! It's so hard to flag a server too because they are hiding at the other side of the restaurant and didn't bother check on the customers.
Owner reached out to me when I posted a Yelp review and wanted me to take it down. When I refused, he went ahead and said it's his first time seeing a customer like me and don't ever come back to his restaurant blah blah. You're so funny, I am not even planning to come back to your restaurant!!
Good luck to your business. No wonder your restaurant is always empty because of how you guys have been mistreating your customers!!!
WARNING: Please remember to double check your bank statement after dining in here to make sure the charge is accurate!!
Good thing I checked my credit card statement and saw the tip adjustment and realized I was overcharged. It doesn't matter whether it's $1 or $10 or $50. If you adjust the tips more than what was written, that...
