" Laos Kitchen just became my favorite eatery in San Rafael! It was recommended by a friend and I can see why. The moment you walk in, you feel welcomed due to the friendly atmosphere and decor. I ordered the crispy fried chicken along with the papaya salad, and I couldn't believe the flavors! Each dish is massive and makes the price feel like a steal. Only thing to note is that it does get busy, so it's best to go at off-peak hours or be prepared for a wait. I can’t wait to try more dishes on the menu; I’m already planning my next visit!

The service was attentive and quick despite the crowd, which made for a delightful experience. I am also thrilled about the variety of gluten-free and dairy-free options, which made it easy for my dietary needs. I left not only satisfied but also excited to return! " (*Curated Review*)
