“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.“
“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!“
“I went yesterday with a friend who's been there, it was my first time. I ordered coffee, and I was surprised when the waiter told me that the chef doesn't serve hot beverages. That seemed odd, but okay - I had iced tea. The food is served with the intention of sharing dishes. We ordered 7 different items - each one better than the last. We loved everything, and had plenty to bring home left overs. Such beautiful foods and flavors. I'll be going back as well as taking out. Highly recommend! Have coffee afterwards. Totally worth it!!!“
“Amazing food, super friendly staff - a must try! I ordered the O.G. wings, Naem Khao (Crispy Coconut Rice), Noakeo's Eggrolls, and Garlic noodles. My favorites were the wings and noodles. Both had a perfect balance of sweet and savory and even a little bit of spice. The rice was good, but crispy rice isn't my favorite thing. Delicious flavor and generous servings. We ate next door at wandering leaf which had lots of seating and I highly recommend digging in there. On Wednesdays, they have a deal where you can get 3 pieces of chicken wings instead of 5 and $2 off a beer for a reduced price. It was a little pricey, but I'd give it a try at least once.“
“The food is delicious and SUPER HOT. I had the shrimp green curry with red and green bell peppers. It was served in green curry sauce with rice on the side. I had two appetizers: spring rolls and pot stickers each with its own dipping sauce. The service was exceptional. The food came hot and ready to eat. I had green tea to top it off.“
“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“
“Love everything about this place! Our server was amazing, very knowledgeable, and had great suggestions - thank you, Tyler! Every dish we had was an explosion of flavor and textures. Everything balanced and complimented each, yet stood out on its own... So incredibly hard to accomplish ??. The atmosphere was beautiful and elevated but not stuffy. This was the perfect date night for anyone who loves bold flavors and something different. We'll be back, for sure.“
