Definitely get the crab ragoons and the laj steak. Good sized portions & the owners were so nice. Everything was really yummy. They brought out some games for us to play while the food was being prepared. Even got a little magic with some cards.

I discovered a wonderful Hmong restaurant here in Colorado! The friendly, family-run staff and cozy, traditional decor made me feel right at home. The red curry noodle soup (Khaub Poob) was absolutely delicious, just like my mom’s. This is a must-try for anyone looking for authentic Southeast Asian food. I'll definitely be stopping by on my next trip to the mountains. Thank you Brenda and family!.. 💕

Cute little restaurant with huge portions & delicious, fresh Thai food! Stopped in before heading back home (Fraser) and we were pleasantly surprised! So fresh, so light - next time going to try one of the more authentic dishes (I did the Pad Thai with crispy tofu - amazing!)

★★★★★ 5.0 Sarah Priest · Dec 2024

This place was great! After traveling all day we wanted some really good food and this place delivered! The flavors were wonderful. Food was made fresh and the people working here were really nice. I didn’t get a picture of the lemongrass chicken because my husband dug in too fast but it was lovely.

★★★★★ 5.0 Phil Chen · Nov 2025

Stopped in for a quick lunch on our way back to Denver, this place is a total gem! Wonderfully friendly and one of the few places in Colorado to find Hmong food. Had the lemongrass chicken with coconut rice, as well as the Hmong sausage, we'll definitely be back!
