Just had lunch with my family. The menu is small but very simple. Perfect for a quick grab and go. The chicken and sticky rice was the best of the menu. Soft chewy sticky rice that you can eat with your hands and have a drumstick in your other hand. The chicken was perfectly marinated, warm and juicy. Will be back again!

I tried their fried chicken. The quantity is plenty! The flavor is pleasantly unique with herbal spices (not 🌶️) but not so strong, so great for beginners to Laotian cuisines. I recommend!

I finally made it in today since Sam used to run the food truck. I hadn’t been to his new location yet, and I was really impressed. His new permanent restaurant is beautiful and very clean—he did a great job with the space. The food was delicious! I ordered the chicken lettuce wrap and the peachy orange fruit tea, and I was so happy with my order. Sam rang me up and even brought out my food himself. Great service and great food. I will definitely be back!

My first time trying mango sticky rice (it’s all over tik tok) 🤣 and was definitely not disappointed 😋😋😋 the Thai tea boba was also super yummy!! Sam was nice and friendly will definitely make it a stop for when I travel to ABQ.
