   I am so happy to have experienced the Laos pop-up with Phaeng & Phiu! Every dish brought me back to childhood cookouts, especially the clams with crack sauce!! And the energy of the event was perfect, it was like watching a reunion happen between family members. The drinks were creative, my favorite was the larb as it embodied the dish perfectly in the form of a drink. Left with my heart and stomach full!!

   Excellent - inventive and delicious food, creative and tasty drinks, and great service. We went there to celebrate a birthday, and it was a fabulous choice.

   The food unfortunately didn’t excite us. I don’t mind small menus but it was hard for us to choose from the options. The tempura shrimp are bomb though and so are the cocktails. The sister restaurant Mahaniyom is untouchable

   Would not recommend to my friends. The food was mediocre—I wouldn’t recommend the duck confit with fries. The dish was served cold, and the fat had completely soaked the fries, making them unappetizing. The salmon portion was disappointingly small, more like two pieces of nigiri, and it was drowned in a flavorless broth. That said, the service was excellent—fast and accommodating. The drinks were creative, but one was served in a glass that had been chipped and sanded down, making it feel like drinking from broken glass, which was off-putting.

   The food was fantastic, an interesting blend of Thai, Indian and American comfort food. The service was very attentive and the food was delivered quickly. It's restaurant itself loud and the seating intimate.
