" From the moment I walked into Lao Laan Xang, I was greeted with a vibrant atmosphere filled with friendly chatter. I started with the crab rangoon and then moved on to the laap, and both were full of flavor—definitely the highlight of my night! The service was attentive, making sure glasses were filled and asking if we needed anything else. Although it was busy, we didn’t feel rushed, and I appreciated the time to savor our meal. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! I was hesitant to try Laotian cuisine, but I am so glad I did. The food was bursting with flavors and everything felt so fresh and homemade. I particularly enjoyed their mango curry and the crispy spring rolls. The service was incredibly prompt, and the atmosphere felt like a comforting blend of modern and traditional decor. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking to explore new flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visit this restaurant if you want to feel like you’ve been transported to a different country! The décor is beautiful, and the food is absolutely delicious! I recommend the special of the day, as they tend to really showcase local flavors! The service is friendly, but our waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. Regardless, a lovely place for dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing raving reviews, I finally paid a visit. The taste was good, but none of the dishes we ordered really stood out—they felt more Americanized than I anticipated. The atmosphere was lively, and service was reasonable, albeit a little slow during the dinner rush. If you’re looking for something truly authentic, you might want to keep searching. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Kang Gai soup was one of the best I’ve ever tasted! The broth was flavorful and fresh. I was pleasantly surprised by the lovely ambiance in the restaurant. I also found the service to be friendly and prompt. However, the prices felt a bit steep for the portion sizes. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend trying this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I had mixed feelings about my visit. The food was good, but I found the flavors a bit toned down compared to authentic Laotian food I've had elsewhere. The atmosphere had a nice ambiance, but the service was a little slow, and we had to wait quite a bit for our food. I think there’s potential for this place to shine with a bit more consistency in food quality and speed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had my first meal here and I can't express how happy I am! From the crab rangoons to the noodle dishes, everything was delicious! I appreciate how attentive the staff was to our needs, making us feel right at home. The ambiance was also very inviting. I will definitely return soon to explore more of the menu!
