Laos Thai Kitchen - Lowell

Amazing eating. as a lover of Thai food, this place meets the place for me. the basilikum fried rice with tofu is legit. also very vegetarian friendly. they can replace any meat with tofu. I just ordered the delivery from this place, but would not be against eating in. it always seems crowded (which shows that it must be very authentic eating. highly recommended! 5/5

I wanted to love this place based on the high reviews but unfortunately it fell short based on our preferences with more misses than hits. We got the following items to try so maybe other dishes are better. Crab Rangoon (3/5) it was good definitely a bit different than the typical and XTRA crispy. Pineapple Fried Rice (3.5/5) it was good curry flavor and a bit peppery we enjoyed this dish. Papaya Salad (2/5) we asked for level 4 spicy and asked if they could do it without the fermented shrimp paste but they Chef could not accommodate. We tried it anyways and although it wasn't as pungent/fishy as we expected, it was WAY too salty for our taste. No sour, no sweetness, just salty/spicy. Crying Tiger (0/5) we saw this on the menu and unfortunately this was NOT what we had expected at all. We asked for the steak to be medium rare, it came out well done and the steak was chewier than leather. We took a few bites and called it quits. Grapow Gai (4/5) this dish was the only one that I would probably reorder and recommend. The flavors were good, came with a fried egg on top over rice.

This food is phenomenal!! Truly flavorful, homemade to order, crisp greens, colorful veg, the tapioca balls you wrap in crisp lettuce and bright herbs is a carnival for your mouth! The sausages have the perfect caramelized sear. The duck buns are tasty. We have tried tons of the menu and have loved every bite. Really. Complaints are that service seems stressed and stretched and take-out time is alllways underestimated because they focus on in store diners..

Ordered last min for 3 party trays and the restaurant was able to accommodate. The Beef Larb, Seafood Noodles and Papaya Salad were delicious. Thank you!

I found this place several weeks ago and liked it so much so I went back many times. However, during my most recent visit, the hostess was just horrible. Her attitude was like I owed her thousands dollars. Or I should not show up to ruin her video chat with someone. My friend and I were shocked. The people waited us were always nice and friendly but just not the most recent encounter we had. We almost stood up and left but we stayed. Now I'm unsure if I want to go back there again. Their homemade taro chip is good. But again, when there are many great restaurants in Lowell, I have second thought to put this one as my first choice anymore.
