The food at this artfully decorated establishment – one of very few Laotian restaurants in the US – looks as gorgeous as the space itself. Enhanced with Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese flavors, it tastes wonderful too.
From pumpkin curry to lemongrass sausage or crispy pork-belly soup, everything’s bold and very satisfying. The little shot of Laos-style coffee is a nice touch, too.
