Absolutely love this family run restaurant with delicious Lao cuisine and Thai dishes made with care and fully yummy from "mama's kitchen " - always fresh made with tasty traditional ingredients and the service is always amazing and "comfy". I'm from out of town but when seeing my friends in the area I always ask if we can go here it's that good. It's a bit of a small place so you may have a little wait but is totally worth it as !

This place has hands down the best service , and some of the best food, in the Bay Area. I eat here all the time and everything is delicious. Some of my favs are: red seafood curry, LTK eggplant, and fried banana with ice cream. There have been many Mondays when I want to go here and am sad that it's closed. It's a small, family-owned place that does a lot of takeout business as well. Definitely check it out for yourself!

My husband and I came here for the first time last night and we had a wonderful experience! From the service to the food everything was excellent! Definitely a 10/10! We will be back!

Amazing food, great staff, and an intimate setting make this a go to in the neighborhood. The Lao sausages, pumpkin curry, eggplant are all super delicious. Highly recommend.

I love Thai food and I love Lao Thai. The woman who greets us at the door takes our order and serves us, is exceptional in her customer service skills. She always treats us like we are long-lost family members and we've just come home. I honestly feel bad that I don't know her name but next time I go there, I will ask her. The food is good and their knowledge of gluten free food is good, and their gluten free options are plenty. It's frustrating when I go to a restaurant and they don't have many gluten free options but here they do. They can make my favorite noodle dishes gluten free and they are so delicious. I don't like it when I go to a restaurant and their sense of gluten free means that they take all the flavor out. Here that is absolutely not the case. It's got a relaxed, homey feel and the waitress is phenomenal. Next time, I'll ask her, her name.

Amazing service and super flavorful food! I got the pad see ew, yellow curry, and of course a thai iced tea and everything was packed with flavor!

I enjoyed my dining experience quite a bit. Came on Saturday for lunch. I think it's the only day they are open for lunch. service is amazing. So friendly and informative. It seems like she really likes her job and the customers. Thai iced coffee was better than the Thai iced tea. Started off with a' Special' appetizer of salmon belly salad. I'm no salad fan but this was good. I like the dressing; forget the salmon belly. Then the wings appetizer... best dish of all of them. Crispy, sweet and just the right tang and spice. Pad see ew is my next favorite. Think stir fried noodles with veggies and beef. Yellow curry with chicken is the good old standby. You can't go wrong. The only dish I did not like was the eggplant and tofu. The eggplant was overbooked which made it fall apart, yet the outer sun was really tough. But I'll be back again to try other new dishes.

I have passed this spot a few times and knew I wanted to try it someday. That someday came when I was in the area for Formosa Chocolate's Popup and it was a nice stroll to this spot for lunch. It seems to be a popular local's spot as a few customers came in commenting that they were so happy they were back. A first timer myself wasn't sure what that meant only to discover afterwards that they sustained damages due to this year's atmospheric rivers. Can totally relate as my house also sustained some storm related damages as well. Every dish we had was so flavorful and they were so accommodating to dietary restrictions and spice levels. When you are made to feel like family, it is no wonder they have so many repeat customers who care about their well being as well. From the fish cakes (Tod Mun) to the extremely addictive Lao Special Nam Khao of seasoned pork, crispy rice, peanuts, dried red peppers , fresh mint, and cilantro and the Red Curry Salmon that had a perfect amount of kick without it being too spicy, I could not resist getting food to go for my parents as well.

I would like to start by expressing how kind and likable the restaurant owner is! We enjoyed all her recommendations on the menu and everything was so so so delicious, 10/10. This was my second time dining here and this time I invited my two sisters to join in on the most delicious Lao & Thai food in Albany! Most definitely, dining here whenever I'm in the area. Love their authentic traditional decorations! I think we came extra hungryyyy. We ordering the following items: 4 Thai ice teas (that's a must), thai spicy Level 1 papaya salad, Nam khao, Lao sausages, 2 jeow bong (chili paste), beef Pad Kee Mao, Pineapple Fried Rice, beef Pa Nang Curry, 2 sticky rice, and pork Khao Poon. Everything was phenomenal! Bon Appetite!
