Korean restaurants in the US rarely serve dishes made with organ meats, but Lao restaurants offer many options. Lao cuisine surprisingly suits the Korean palate well. Thom Kureng Nai tastes even better with fresh cilantro, extra vegetables, and a sprinkle of chili flakes. It’s a bit salty, so ask for a little extra water. Long Review Korean restaurants in the US often avoid organ-based dishes due to customer preferences and ingredient sourcing, so you don’t see many soups like naejangtang. In contrast, Lao restaurants offer a wide variety of organ dishes. It’s interesting to see how many of them align well with Korean tastes, which made me rethink Lao food culture. Although organ soups can be unfamiliar to many Americans, once you develop a taste for them, they become quite addictive. Th

Ramono is one of the best servers I’ve met! Super polite, friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful. Imperial rolls were good, and don’t miss the Nam Kao - crispy fried rice with pork and mint, served with lettuce wrap - a really unique, tasty dish. The mango sticky rice is on the sweeter side. Would love to come back and try other dishes on the menu!

I tried this cute place for lunch and was very pleased ! Son was the waitperson and he was very friendly and helped me with the menu. I got the Kai poon which was tasty, filling (had enough to take home) lots of meat, not too spicy. The place was clean, quiet and welcoming. Will definitely go back!!!

We went Tuesday night, they weren't busy. The food was served quick, service was great. The restaurant is spacious and clean. Price was reasonable. It was around $60 for 2 of us for this amount of food Kua Mee (5/5) we both like the texture and flavor. It's not too dry like other reviews said, but not too soggy. We asked for spicy and the spice level was perfect. Beef lapp (4/5): it was ok in my opinion. The beef was tender, the flavor is a but salty, it would be perfect to eat with rice Kao Soy (4/5): it's also just salty flavor, but I think it is how it is since I tried it at other Laos restaurant and it is how it is Mango sticky rice (5/5) you will never go wrong with mango sticky rice. It wasn't too sweet and perfect texture even though it's not mango season Thai tea (4/5): too sweet f
