Laotian Restaurants near Fridley, MN

“Easily the best Thai food we’ve had in the cities! My husband and I went to Thailand for our honeymoon and have been looking for a local spot that offers truly authentic Thai cuisine, and these dishes take us right back. We found out the women making the food used to work the street food markets in Thailand. ❤️ Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“This place is a dream come true! The food is incredible, from the huge modular entrees to the gigantic “mini-feast”, or the ribs which were the best I’ve ever had. What I am most excited about however is the brunch! I am planning on coming back every Sunday to try all of their brunch items.“

“This was where pho hits home back then because I have been coming to this lace ever since 2000/2001-2005 & their pho was so good. I love their pho here. My honey would always come here for pho because it's his favorite pho restaurant. The pho broth is consistent. The owners are usually on site availabile at the restaurant and will be ready to conversate with you anytime. The owners are very kind hearted people! Love their pho and also some sweet kapoon dish!!“

“Authentic? Absolutely! How can it not be? The chef is authentically Hmong, his experiences are Hmong, and thus his food is ? Hmong! Traditional? Not completely. I love it for what it is…an evolution of the Hmong food diaspora here in America! While visiting my beautiful niece and her little family, I had a strong hankering to eat Hmong food. She suggested this brilliant establishment. The wait was short and the portions abundant. While eating I was transported back to mom/dad’s kitchen, and the after school meals they would prepare for us! The sausage is excellent and had all the flavors of Hmong new year. Lemongrass, fat, herbs, salt…and crunch! The pork was perfectly cooked and we loved dipping it in hot sauce along with the sticky rice. I highly recommend this authentic Hmong dining experience and can not wait to dine at Vinai next time I visit. I just wish Seattle had something similar. Thank you Chef Yia for moving our food into the future while preserving our past! Cheers!“

“Less like a traditional restaurant, and more like your grandma decided to make a business out of her cooking. Very homely atmosphere, and incredibly relaxing.Food prices weren't cheap, but definitely fair for the portion size. The taste being a 10/10 made for incredible value.If you've never had an Asian homestyle meal before, this is the place to experience it: especially with friends and family.“

“Very happy to see Lao cuisine in Northtown! I had the Lao sausage fried rice and the fried rice was perfect, just the way I like it. As an odd Asian, I've never been a fan of spice in my food and their sausage only has a little kick to and tastes wonderful. For $18, the portion size is worth your money and owner at the front was extremely kind and not afraid to strike up a welcoming conversation. Would definitely come back to try more! :)“

“We have only gotten take out, so my review is specific to that.Amazing food! I love the egg rolls and my wife loves the spring rolls. Highly recommend both.General Tso's chicken has a great sauce that was significantly better than the seasoned paste you tend to get at other Chinese restaurants.“

“The food was phenomenal! It all tasted very well put together, and the spice of each dish was amazing. I'd say Little Asia is definitely a great place to authentic Hmong style cooking food. Service was a little iffy as in slow, but it was not too much of a big deal. I just hope it isn't as slow when they're super busy Pork Belly was crispy and juicy Beef brisket was the STAR Sticky rice, could've been better. Some of it was a little harder in texture like the outer layer RAW beef laab was good and herb-y Kapoon Kua Tshia- tasted well, but we expected more from it as in flavor and meat provided“
