The restaurant was nice, clean and air conditioned. Service was fantastic. Very attentive and kind staff. We ordered Pad Thai, KaoPoon, Spring Rolls, Nam Khao and Lao Sausage and everything was delicious. The Pad Thai was a little saucier than most places but I didnt mind. Thanks for the great meal!
