" As a fan of Laotian cuisine, I had high hopes for Lao Lao Bar. I was not disappointed! The flavors were fantastic, and the tapioca dumplings were a highlight. The only downside was I felt the portion sizes were a bit on the smaller side, especially for the price point. Still, the vibrant atmosphere and friendly service made it a wonderful place for dinner. I'm looking forward to coming back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Lao Lao Bar last weekend for a special dinner, and it was a hit! Everyone loved the atmosphere and the decor was truly exquisite. From the first bite of the drunken noodles to the last dessert, everything was delicious. Prices were a bit on the higher side, and some dishes served smaller portions, but the quality made up for it. Will definitely make this our go-to for Laotian dining in the city!

It's such a neat place; the environment is casual yet elegant. Service was great; the staff helped us navigate the menu. I definitely want to try their dessert options next time. The only downside was the prices were slightly high, but the quality makes it worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Lao Lao Bar and it was simply amazing! The moment you step in, the atmosphere is so inviting, almost like a warm hug. The staff was really friendly and gave us highlights from the menu. We ordered the BBQ pork and the tapioca dumplings—the perfect duo! Only nagging thought for me was about the portion sizes. Loved everything else. I will definitely visit again and recommend this to anyone looking for good Laotian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Lao Lao Bar was a dream! The ambience feels like a world away, and the presentation of the food was impressive. The flavors were rich and authentic, reminding me of my time in Laos. The service was also top-notch, with our server being very attentive. I would say the portion sizes were a little modest, but considering the quality, I didn't mind. I would be back in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great spot with a comfortable atmosphere! This place really shines with its authenticity. I had the review-worthy drunken noodles, and they didn’t disappoint! A few dishes were on the spicier side for my taste, but that really is a part of Laotian cuisine. The service was friendly and knowledge. A little on the pricier side but well worth it for quality food. " (*Curated Review*)
