Dali’s Lao Thai Café

My husband and I go to a lot of different Thai restaurants. This without a doubt was our favorite. Servings were large and delicious. Food came out quickly and atmosphere was so welcoming. Only regret is wishing we tried it sooner. Definitely going to become our new regular spot. I don't do reviews but it would be a disgrace finding a place this wonderful ( and family owned) and not encouraging others to come. You won't be disappointed

They do Thai/Laotian very well at this small local cafe. We had the crispy rice salad (Nam Khao) and the chicken salad (Laap Gai). We ordered the crumispy rice spicy and it made my lips tingle only a little bit, so I think I would get Thai hot next time. Our Laap Gai was Thai hot and it had the perfect heat to it. Both dishes were packed with flavor and the portion size was generous. The lettuce was cold and crispy and contrasted perfectly with the hot salads. There are no exchanges, so start with a spice level you feel comfortable with. It is a small shop and is not cheap, but I feel like the portion was enough to justify the price. It looks like they do a lot of takeout, but we dined inside and everything was very clean.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. The staff is so friendly and helpful when it comes to food allergies and safety. It is truly a pleasure to walk into an establishment and see that the Lord is the head and foundation. Have been here several times and never have any issues. The Papaya salad is full of flavor and very filling. And the summer rolls are some of the largest, freshest and tastiest ones around.

Amazing great quality food! I will definitely be coming here again and again, the staff are so friendly and helpful. Please support your local restaurants and not the big corporations! It’s always better quality and made with love. :)

This place is SO good. Total hidden gem in Sanford. I had the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew — both were amazing! Everything tasted super flavorful and authentic. The staff is super friendly and make you feel like family the moment you walk in. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. It’s easily one of my favorite local spots now. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Thai or Lao food done right!
