JP LAO KITCHEN

JP Lao isn’t a fancy spot, but the food is so comforting and delicious that the ambiance will be the last thing on your mind. I first tried JP years ago when they were still a food truck, and their papaya salad and Lao sausage quickly became my go-to order. Last year, my partner and I moved back to the area, and you can imagine my excitement when I discovered they had opened a brick-and-mortar location. Since then, I’ve tried almost everything on their menu, and it’s all been packed with flavor. I’m especially a fan of their Tum (salad) options, while my partner swears by the brisket with sticky rice. It’s also fun to browse the display cases and fridge, you never know what you’ll come across. My new favorite, though, is their khao peik. It isn’t listed on the main menu, but if you spo

This place is amazing! The food is fresh, inexpensive, and had lots of options! We visited the kitchen which is next door to the market and ordered from the counter but there were also some dishes that were grab n go. We got the Lao sausage w lo mein and the chicken on a stick with sticky rice and a cucumber salad - the food came out quick, was made fresh to order, and the customer service was great! This restaurant is also located really close to the airport and right off the highway making it an easy stop to grab a great meal and avoid the usual fast food stops on the road. We will definitely be returning!!!

I found J.P Lao Kitchen on Google near my office. Came in for a quick bite as I've never had Lao food and wanted to try something new. I ordered the JP Khao Chee - Lao Sandwich. (Shredded steamed pork, pork fu, shredded BBQ pork, pickle veggies, pate and Lao mayo.) Although the bread was not fresh, the flavors were delicious. I also ordered one fried pork egg roll. It was ok. In addition, I had a Lychee iced fruity tea with Honey Poppin Boba. I'd order it again. The space was clean and the two young men working the shift were pleasant. I will come to JP Lao Kitchen again to try a hot dish like their noodles or curry.

OMG this is an authentic Laotian restaurant, a hidden gem. Everything (regular size) on the menu was less than $10. Order at the counter or grab the premade meals & snacks. We ordered the basil chicken fried rice dish & the lo mein with sweet sausage. Both were served piping hot to-go, although there were plenty of tables & chairs for dine in. The chicken rice plate was a killer - so tasty with some heat. We couldn’t stop eating it. The portions were large for 1 person. The lo mein was on point - salty sweet (from sweet sausage). The Thai ice tea was strong & sweet, perfect. We will definitely return when we’re in the area. 2 thumbs up.

This is a gem next to the CLT airport. I got the beef brisket medium rare with sticky rice and the jeow som chili paste. Amazing place, my first time trying Laotian food too 🇱🇦
