I had no idea that this wonderful restaurant had new digs but now we know! Everything was just as wonderful as our past visits. We ordered the small beef pho which was huge and the Lao mein chicken along with shrimp spring rolls and the Lao sausage. I was pretty impressed by the sausage. It had a nice herby taste and wasn't too strong. Laura served us this time and she was awesome! We will definitely return!

Same great food and staff, but now has a more traditional setting since moving into a shopping center. Still one of the best---if not _the_ best---Asian restaurants in the Waco area.

Sweet baby Jesus, this is some tasty Laos food. And having traveled a few weeks in Laos, the eats are pretty authentic, too. Kids enjoyed the soup while wife and I enjoyed the chicken, rice, and salad. Love the spiciness of the red sauce. The traditional Laos salad was delicious! Nice to find authentic Laos food in small town Texas.

Must try! I visited their new location, which is now opened, very spacious locale. I ordered the chicken fried rice, orange chicken, and pork dumplings. Everything arrived at once, promptly, and at the perfect temperature. The pork dumplings were fried and served with sweet chili sauce. Both the chicken fried rice and orange chicken were generous, fresh, and savory. The orange chicken was a hit with my kids, now a new favorite! I'm looking forward to coming back to try the pho and other dishes on the menu.

I'm an Asian food snob. I ordered two entrees with Grub Hub because I didn't like the idea of driving so far to be disappointed. The food is excellent! Finally a good Asian restaurant in the Waco area. Only reason for 4 of 5 stars is because the food was delivered and I didn't experience the dish straight from the kitchen.

The food was amazing. Service was great and the atmosphere was pretty cool! It is inside a gas station, but don't let that stop you from getting a great meal. I saw the reviews and pictures and had to give this place a try a I was impressed! It gets pretty packed as well from people getting their food to go and sitting down to eat! Try try try!!!

Oh my LORD, so good! Proving all the best food in Texas is found in gas stations! Best fried rice ever. Pork belly is amazing. If you like extreme heat, YES, get the spicy noodles!

Just newly opened quaint eatery about 9 months ago and is located adjacent to a Chevron Gas Station's food mart. Stellar service by the staff who took our orders. I ordered the fried pork belly with fried rice. Loved this dish but wished the portion serving had more for the price. Perfect bite cuts of the pork belly.
