Lao Garden Restaurant & Bar

We had a wonderful dining experience at Lao Garden and were truly impressed by the authenticity and quality of the food. For my husband, who is of Lao heritage, the flavors were especially meaningful and brought back a deep connection to his cultural roots. The care and tradition behind each dish were evident, making the meal both memorable and genuine. The owner’s warmth and hospitality made the experience even more special. Her personal touch and passion elevated our visit beyond just a great meal. We left feeling not only satisfied, but genuinely enriched, and we highly recommend Lao Garden to anyone seeking an authentic taste of Laos. We’re already looking forward to returning on our next trip to the Bay Area. Food pictured: Lao sausage, sticky rice, chicken wings, Thum Lao Lao (extr

The service was excellent. Even though it was very busy during lunchtime, the staff was incredibly attentive and helpful. Our server, Smile, truly lived up to her name — she was friendly, patient, and kept a warm smile the entire time while giving great recommendations. All of the food was delicious. My favorite dish was Tum Lao Lao — it was absolutely amazing, especially when eaten with sticky rice. To finish the meal, we had Lod Chong in coconut milk, a fragrant and creamy pandan dessert that was perfectly sweet and very refreshing. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but the amount of burnt pieces of egg rolls in the Vientiane Crispy Rolls really disappointed me. I spent half my childhood making egg rolls with my mom, we NEVER served the broken wrapped egg rolls to customers because when they break open in the hot oil, it quickly burns the thin/minced filling. Otherwise the Nam Khao was a 10/10 and the Laab Ped was a solid 8/10. The service was solid and the place was beautiful.

Good food. We were the first customers (11 people) arrived at 12nn on Sunday. The waitress was nice until she forgot to place my crab rice order. She even said “ you did not tell that to me..” we checked her paper and written there my CRAB RICE. my family had done eating, and my crab rice has not arrived still, i asked the other waitress to just cancel it, but she got pretty annoyed and guess what, we still waited for another 30mins. The 2 orders of mango sticky rice took another 20mins of waiting. To the owner, please train your servers to have the sense of urgency and common sense of how to split the bill with 2 families. Not mixing who ordered this and that. Overall the food are great.

One of the better Nam Khao (Crispy Rice Salad) I've had that's crispy and fragrant with generous amount of Lao sausage while not being greasy. The papaya salad was also a great balance of flavors and wasn't too salty or fishy with a nice spicy kick.
