“ 11182022 and 12242022 Hubby and I have visited twice. We enjoyed it so much the first time that we went back to try more of their awesome dishes. First of all, the service is outstanding. Our server was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. She answered our questions and provided us with good recommendations. Unlike other restaurants, she was good about clearing empty plates, giving us the table space needed for additional dishes. Visiting this restaurant was the first time Ive had Laotian food. It is very similar to other Asian cuisine, but it has their own twist. On the first visit, we were with my sister so we decided to share a variety of dishes deep fried salmon belly, homemade Laotian sausage, homemade chicharron, green papaya salad, mango sticky rice, and Sunkaya. What a treat! Everything was fresh and full of flavor. On our second visit, it was just me and hubby, but we decided to share again. We started with the Som Moo sour pork, which was a loaf of pork with seasoning that had a slight sour taste. It was delicious! We also had the long bean salad, gaeng aum, mee kawtee pan fried noodles, and eggplant jaew. The salad was refreshing with the blanched beans seasoned with fish sauce and spice. The gaeng aum is a traditional beef stew with a thick white soup and loaded with veggies Thai eggplant, Asian greens, and long beans. The eggplant jaew is a wonderful accompaniment and goes well with the steamed rice. Again, this meal was outstanding! We left eager to return to try more. If youve never had Laotian food, give Lao, Der! a try. Its a great cultural experience. ”

“ The food is really surprisingly tasty. Ordered tuna salad and I was surprise how good it was. It tastes clean and fresh. Perfect combination of spices. ”

“ The food is always so good and the service is amazing. The servers go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. The atmosphere is great, they are always playing good music. My favorite place in Stockton. ”

“ First time here and I will definitely be back whenever Im back in Stockton. Place is beautiful and food is the bomb. My favorite was the spicy Lao sausage and eggplant jeow! Definitely recommend. ”

“ We went Tuesday night, they werent busy. The food was served quick, service was great. The restaurant is spacious and clean. Price was reasonable. It was around 60 for 2 of us for this amount of food Kua Mee 55 we both like the texture and flavor. Its not too dry like other reviews said, but not too soggy. We asked for spicy and the spice level was perfect. Beef lapp 45 it was ok in my opinion. The beef was tender, the flavor is a but salty, it would be perfect to eat with rice Kao Soy 45 its also just salty flavor, but I think it is how it is since I tried it at other Laos restaurant and it is how it is Mango sticky rice 55 you will never go wrong with mango sticky rice. It wasnt too sweet and perfect texture even though its not mango season Thai tea 45 too sweet for me. I wish they were able to adjust the sweetness, but even extra cream still makes it too sweet. ”
