The Papaya Salad was somewhat sour, served chilled, and was extremely spicy to my order (I asked for 10 out of 10). I liked the papaya salad, but it turned out to be too spicy for me (I would recommend about a 6 or 7 if you like it spicy, and lower numbers for less spicy).

Although the Seafood Soup serves two or more people, I was able to get a small order which I used as "insurance" in case I did not like the main dish. The soup turned out to be wonderful--it had a light broth spiced with lime, the seafood was delicious, and was the type of food you would expect in an authentic Asian restaurant.

Sticky Rice was served with it to complete the "Laotian" experience.

Some other interesting menu items include the beef jerky (which I understand is a Laotian item) and pad entrees (pad curry, pad grapow with basil, and pad cashew). There is a very interesting drink menu including thai tea, soy-bean, and salo with palm (whatever that is).

The food here was very high quality--just don't order the spicy stuff unless you can handle it, because they will make it "Asian spicy."

I undertand that since my visit the restaurant changed owners, but I went in to look at the new menu and it still serves Laotian food.
