Lao'd District

the service was fast, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. prices were reasonable, and portion sizes were solid, making it a good value overall the roti was nicely layered with a satisfying char and was especially delicious when dipped into the red curry the crying tiger steak was easily the highlight of the meal. it was cooked to the perfect doneness, very tender, and had a great balance of lean and fatty pieces the drunken noodles had a great texture, not too hard or mushy, and weren't overly oily. there were plenty of vegetables mixed in, which we appreciated. however, it wasn't spicy at all :( the basil chicken was similar in that sense. the basil was very fragrant and aromatic, and there was a generous amount of meat, but again, it lacked any real spice the red curry lea

A great place on bellaire food street. You go in, get a table and scan a qr code to order and pay. The staff is energetic and outgoing. I've had several dishes and they were good, but the laab steak is on a whole other level. The combination of the seared steak flavor and the lime based sauce explodes with a flavor intesity you don't often find. The sauce is so good i eat everything it touches. I could go on and on about it as its now one of my favorite dishes anywhere. We'll worth the price.

The food was EXCELLENT! Never had Nam Khao before but was pleasantly surprised by the portions and textures/tastes. The Papaya salad tasted fermented but whatever spices in that was wonderful as well. The biggest star today though, was the service: Originally I pulled in because my original restaurant plans fell through, my car had issues, and I was on a TIGHT deadline for lunch. The waiter (hate not saying his name but this was a blur so sorry for not remembering) once he knew I was in a rush did everything possible to accommodate me. I wish I could've tipped more because in such an unforgiving world having staff overall this welcoming is such a bright spot in a dim world right now.

First time here and I can’t wait to try more things! They have a really interesting and delicious menu. I ordered the lunch box special and chose the crack belly (so good!). I ordered it crispy and it came out perfect. The papaya salad was really tasty as well. I want to try the steak tiger cry, drunken noodles, khao poon and “Curria” tacos. Decisions decisions..

I come here specifically for the crack belly. But, the atmosphere and friendly staff keeps me coming in instead of door-dashing. The crack belly is to die for. The spicy is perfect for those that like a nice kick. However, if you’re a spice fanatic you can request for it to be extra spicy and it makes you sweat. If you are not a spicy connoisseur they do have mild and medium levels. I prefer medium when I’m not adventurous. The crispy cheese rolls are delicious but for appetizers you have to try their Lao’d Jerky. Be warned that sauce has a good kick and will make your eyes water. Without the sauce it tastes like teriyaki jerky and is delicious. I come here consistently and plan to bring all of my friends and family.
