Lao Kitchen - Flamingo Heights

I was at Lao kitchen 12/26/2023, ordered just 3 dishes, I really wasn't hungry but I needed to try since I don't come to Vegas that much.1)far from strip/main area of Vegas2)unique dining set up, nothing fancy at all.3)food took a while to come out.4)slow services due to ONLY one person who wore crocks serving us, not very polite, just straight forward and not friendly.5)overall great quality food, yet most of all, expensive forbade small portions of beef jerky and sausages. Even the papaya salad laobstyle was good but not enough for two people to relish.

We were so impressed with the flavors and portion sizes! We ordered the Nam Khao crispy rice and the Hainanese chicken. Both were addictively good and we had some to take home to enjoy later. We'll be back!

This is our GO TO SPOT for AUTHENTIC LAO FOOD!! Never have been disappointed each time we come here. Food is great Service is great and the location is in a good area away from the Vegas strip!! My mouth is watering from writing up this post!! lol

We aren't from around here, but didn't have a hard time finding it at all. They are located in a small plaza, but we didn't have a problem getting parking. We were seated right away when we got in. The food here is pretty authentic. It was pretty packed when we came during lunch hours. Their papaya salad was really good. The spice level was really there so if you can't tolerate much spice, I would get a lower spice level than usual. We also tried their beef lab and soup. We got it bitter and it was the perfect amount of bitter. I loved it. Their sticky rice was also cooked perfectly. The customer service was pretty good here. We will definitely be back next time we are in Vegas. Would love to try other dishes on their menu. A lot of the dishes they have on their menu, you can't find at just any restaurant. They're dishes you would get at home so I can't wait to try some more of their dishes.

Saw a lot of reviews about this place and especially about it being authentic. Everything we got was pretty good and definitely authentic. Their portions are huge so be prepared to share. We got the thum kao piak, mee gatee, pho Lao, sticky rice, fried chicken wings, and thum papaya.The mee gatee was for me it was really good but omg I couldn't finish it. I really liked their thum papaya it had a good kick and umami. I didn't try the chicken wings or pho Lao but they were murked so must have been good. Only thing about the thum kao piak was I was expecting just noodles but it had a lot of fillers such as cabbage and morning glory.Long story short, come to find out the taste was so good and authentic and familiar is because the cook is from Ban Lao and she happened to bring out a dish for another table and stopped to chat with us. Hi euy Noy! Lol.
