Lao Ocean

Dinner here for the first time. Group of 6 and didn't have too much trouble getting everyone seated. No alcoholic beverages available. I had the Pad See Ew with crispy chicken level 3 hot. It was very good actually. Never ordered this dish before and I was pleasantly surprised. It sure did take a minute for our dishes to arrive and the waitress apologized and said that excessive take out orders was the reason. Waitress was excellent, atmosphere was fine. It's pretty basic setup. Not pictured was the fried pork belly we ordered for the table and it was okay. Bit burnt but fine. I live a good 30 minutes away so it's rare to be out here, but I wouldn't mind dining here again. I'd like to try other dishes on the menu.

So many good things to eat here and all of them are fabulous. Sushi, Thai, Lao, no matter what you choose it will be freshly made and with great flavors. They have excellent Boba and have mastered Southern Sweet Tea.

I ordered two poke bowls and a Thai tea for pickup and I was going to use two $25 gift cards, which I called beforehand to see if I could use and they said yes. Once I got there and was paying they told me that the system was down( yea right) and didn't accept my gift cards. Anyways it costed 48 dollars for two small poke bowls had very little tuna/salmon and they were extremely small with the portions of rice too and I was left very disappointed. Id recommend literally getting sushi or poke bowls from anywhere else, even Publix or fresh market, Bluefin Poke is better as it costs only like 13 dollars a bowl and they're generous with the portions. I AM NOT A MOUSE AND I DO NOT EAT 4 GRAINS OF RICE AND ONE CUBE OF SALMON FOR DINNER

Usually their food is great, but it took 40 minutes for me to get a pickup order today! The previous times it hasn’t been that bad of a wait, but always 20+ minutes for a single order. I think that’s a little much.

I was very pleased with my experience at Lao Ocean. I’m a picky eater so everytimg s/o and I get Thai (Laotian) food I get tom yum soup. Lao Ocean has the best tom yum I’ve ever had. I could cry just thinking about it. S/o got pineapple shrimp fried rice and it was delicious. There was enough for both of us to have leftovers. I can’t wait to go back and get the drunken noodles… and more tom yum. Not to mention, our service was wonderful. Our waitress was attentive and high spirited. Prices were extremely fair for the quantity and quality. This is my new favorite restaurant. Thank you Lao Ocean!
