Review for Laos Kitchen – 4.5/5

If you’re looking for authentic Thai food with bold, spicy flavors, [Restaurant Name] is a must-visit. The dishes here pack serious heat, so if you love spice, you won’t be disappointed! Their Drunken Noodles, spicy Boat Noodle soup, and spring rolls are bursting with flavor, and the chili sauces add an extra kick.

Service is friendly and efficient, and the food comes out fresh and fast. The only reason I’m giving 4/5 for atmosphere is that the decor is pretty basic—functional but not particularly inviting. It’s more of a casual spot, great for a quick meal but not necessarily for a long, lingering dinner.

Overall, if authentic Thai spice is what you crave, this place delivers! Just be ready for some serious heat.

We got the fresh rolls, cashew stir-fry with tofu and red curry soup. Food was amazing - deserves 7 out of 5 stars! Easy street parking. Attentive and friendly servers. Playlist was on point.

Diner Review №7

Amazing home style cooking, friendly service, and intimate seating for a date or out with friends.

Diner Review №8

Wish they did Uber eats would order every week for lunch

Diner Review №9

I did a take out last night and the food was absolutely delicious!! Whatever we ordered turned out to be good. The only thing was that spring rolls were fresh and not the fried version but it was very tasty. It is very hard to find good places. I do not know sitting at their restaurant and eating wood be the best experience but the quality of food is very good for take outs. I recommend them unreservedly.

Diner Review №10

Very tasty noodle dishes. Knowledgeable about gluten-free requirements. Great option on Monday when other restaurants are closed.

Diner Review №11

อาหารจานใหญ่มาก รสชาดอรีอย คุณภาพและปริมาณคุ้มคาคา

Diner Review №12

Stopped by en route to the airport and this place did not disappoint! Beef pho was delicious, not too sweet and not many spices that you’ll find at Vietnamese restaurants. The papaya salad was hand shredded, the original way and the seasoning was savory and spiced to your preference. Laab CH was delicious as well with generous herbs and roasted rice powder, just the way I like it! The sausage is good as well but would have been better with ginger and lemongrass ingredients too too. The bathroom looks like it was built for hobbits so watch your head
as you head down there. Service was good and prompt, which I needed for the tight timeline we had to catch our flight. All in all, I highly recommend this place for its authentic and delicious menu!

Diner Review №13

Dumplings and calamari were delicious. Rice dishes are amazing.

Diner Review №14

Amazing food. As a lover of thai food this place hits the spot for me. The basil fried rice with tofu is legit. Also very vegetarian friendly. You can substitute any meat with tofu. I have only ordered takeout from this place but wouldn't be opposed to dining in . It always seems crowded (which shows it must be very authentic food ). Highly recommend !! 5/5

Update : ordered takeout here after a LONG time . The food s still good except there's a new receptionist who's kinda rude 😕

Diner Review №15

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Diner Review №16

We stopped here for lunch on the way to Maine this summer, just found it randomly on Google. Several months later, and I still think about how amazing the laarb minced pork and herb plate was. Insanely flavorful, fragrant, spicy, fresh unique flavor, with sticky rice. I would hands down go back to Lowell, MA just to eat at this place. Service was great too! Bravo!

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №18

The shrimp pad Thai was delicious, with a huge portion that easily makes two meals. The service was efficient and friendly. The city of Lowell is also overall lovely to visit. Nothing to complain about, highly recommend!

Diner Review №20

The staff are so incredibly nice and the food is amazing.
I highly highly recommend!!!

Diner Review №21

The food was absolutely incredible. We had no wait to get a table. The staff was friendly and hard working but very slow waiting on us. It took nearly an hour from the time we came in to get our food. It was ultimately worth it for how good it was. Would definitely return.

Diner Review №22

Amazing beautiful food. So fresh. Friendly service. Definitely come again. Had the chicken laab and chicken drunken noodles. Absolutely perfect

Review 2 july 2024
Made another trip to Boston and had to go eat here again. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the world. Each dish is amazing. I ordered the beef laap and sister ordered the chicken laap. Hubby ordered the massaman curry. All portions are huge, service is as amazing as ever, and everything was delicious.
The chicken wings are a must. I make pretty good crispy wings but theirs were out of this world. Crunchy, juicy, lots of umami, and big ! The dipping sauce was great too. I highly recommend their mango sticky rice.
Take me backkkkk lol

Visiting from Toronto, i had to try this. my dish (beef laab with 3 stars aka 3 chilies) was one of the best things I have ever eaten in MY LIFE!! I cant describe it except that it was exceptional. The sticky rice itself was a bit hard but who cares. The portion sizes were massive. I am in love. I dream about this place.

Diner Review №26

The shrimp summer rolls are absolutely AMAZING would definitely recommend. I didn’t love the papaya salad, though, but that’s probably just because it was a different style than what I usually have. Also, prices were quite expensive. I got just those two things, and after tax and no tip (since I got take-out), it came to $25, which, if you ask me is a bit expensive.

Diner Review №28

Visiting from Minnesota for a conference. I ordered the Green Curry and the Pad Thai. Amazing authentic food and stellar service! I highly recommend ❤️

Diner Review №29

I had an amazing experience at Laos Thai Kitchen! The food was absolutely delicious with each bite bursting with flavor. The ambiance was warm and inviting and the service was awesome. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend thus place to anyone looking for an outstanding dinning experience. The food was awesome! Good size portions, food was hot in temp. And right amount of spice. I think I will fly back all the way from Texas to dine here.

Diner Review №30

Highly recommend I enjoyed the appetizers especially the crab ragoon. First place i have dined in at in the Lowell area where the crab ragoons were amazing. Enjoy the ice coffee and the meals were seasoned to perfection.

Diner Review №31

Absolutely amazing. The depth of flavor, the balance of sweet and spicy; can't wait to go back and be more brave about the spice level 🌶️

Diner Review №32

Oh, Lowell. So many great Thai/Cambodian/Vietnamese/Lao restaurants and so little time. I'm here to say Laos Thai Kitchen is well worth your time and dollars. My only complaint here is that I didn't have enough room in my stomach to try more dishes. I tried the Nam Khao salad which was a taste sensation with spicy, crunchy, vegetal, sweet and tangy all mingling together in an extremely tasty package. I also tried the spicy wings -- addictive. Generous portions means you best believe I devoured a tasty treat for lunch today. I chatted with the owner who said the chicken feet and laab salad are musts -- take that under advisement. I'd also really like to try the morning glory and pork belly it looked amazing on the menu. I will be back!

Diner Review №33

A must try place, and probably the best Asian food in town. Very authentic and delicious, and owner is very kind.

Diner Review №34

Had the beef laab, crispy egg rolls, Lao fried rice among other dishes. Everything was delicious.

Diner Review №35

We were there for our wedding anniversary. Went based on the online reviews, and they weren’t wrong. The food was great. We started with the summer rolls and they were large and tasty. The sauce that came with them was a perfect match. (ate them too quickly - no picture) I had the drunken noodles Thai spicy with tofu, and it was exactly as advertised. The noodles were perfectly done and the spice had a kick. Our water was was friendly and attentive.

Diner Review №36

Update: changed my 1 star a year ago to 5 stars.

I haven't ordered to go since that last review but I have gone to eat there in person. Recommended for sure in person. Unsure if the phone orders have improved. But delicious 😋. Yumm!!! Oh, brought mymom here when she came to visit Mass. 5/5 in person dining and she said intestine soup was authentic.

A year ago: I love the food here and they're extremely busy all the time. Which is awesome for them. Hopefully they can find help and give better customer service. I recommend if you eat here to go in person, because phone orders probably will never happen.

I've tried on 4 different occasions to call for a pick up order. This is 4 different times within 3 months. First 3 attempts, no one picked up. Probably just busy and so I ordered somewhere else.

Today, I finally got a hold of someone but was placed on hold immediately, patiently waiting, 12 mins goes by and still no one gets back on the line. I assumed they had forgotten about me. After 13 mins, someone hangs up on me. I was irritated and obviously upset. I composed myself before I called back. I didn't want to yell and be a B to whomever is going to be on the other line. I know places get busy. I call back less than 5 mins later and immediately placed on hold again. Expressing I would rather not be on hold, but she did it anyways. Less than 2 mins later, waitress comes back on. I explained to her I had a complaint. Let her know my recent experience with the restaurant and I understand that a restaurant can be busy but literally got tired of it. I was going to place an order for 8 items but now I don't think I'll be giving them service. The anxiety of wondering if I'll be able to place an order over the phone is ridiculous.

Not worth wasting my lunch break over. I do not recommended this restaurant if you want to order for pick-up.

Diner Review №37

I forgot to take a pic before eating but their grapow gai is very good! Already spicy so if you ask for extra heat be prepared. A bit of a hole in the wall but food's good.

Diner Review №38

Incredible food, one of the best low-key spots in Lowell, a hidden gem. I have tried a lot of the dishes and every one of them has been incredible. If you're in Lowell, don't overlook Laos Thai Kitchen!

Diner Review №39

Just had my favorite dish from this place. Grapow Gai with white rice. It's a bit too hot for me, but along with the white rice, it hits the spot. Very flavorful and big portion. My second favorite is the Crazy Noodles also very delicious. Thank you for making such a amazing food. Staff is also very nice. You won't be disappointed.

Diner Review №40

Wow!

Diner Review №41

Very good food and porcions!

Diner Review №42

Diner Review №43

The service is absolutely terrible at this restaurant. I waited an hour to get my food. Two other tables ended up leaving before getting their food after waiting an hour. Water wasn’t even served in the hour of waiting and then I had to ask for utensils and water. The food is overly spicy and service is terrible. Also the menu prices do not match the bill. Do not recommend to anyone.

Diner Review №44

Delicious!!

Diner Review №45

Delicious noodle soups

Diner Review №46

AMAZING Food, for what you pay the portions are huge. Very well seasoned food and the customer service is on point. Highly recommend Lao style Fried rice, Papaya Salad level 3, and The Calamari

Diner Review №47

My Lao parents moved down south so intricate dishes such as Nam Khao, Crispy Lad Nah, and Papaya salad are staples I must have regularly. Laos Thai Kitchen hits the nail on the head and really emulates the flavors and textures that reminds me of my familys cooking. Please keep it going! The food is very on par of what you would expect from your Lao grandmother and Lao mother. It’s is a piece of home I have and cannot say enough good things about this place!!

Diner Review №48

My mother and I visited for a nice lunch at a new (to us) restaurant, and that's exactly what we got! With enough for leftovers, we ordered calamari, spring rolls, pan-fried dumplings, pineapple fried rice, panang curry, and Thai iced tea. All dishes were freshly prepared and delicious. I forgot to take photos before we dug into our dishes. The service was very kind; she even provided towels when I spilled water on myself :) It is a nice casual restaurant that we will certainly visit again.

Diner Review №49

Good food, nice small restaurant.

Diner Review №50

I ordered take out will be ready 25 to 35minute. Got there 1 hour late. My foods still not ready. I was told to wait another 25 minutes. They're didn't even make my foods yet. And I only ordered 2 things. No communication or anything. Wasted my time and gas. Bad business and suck at customer service.

Diner Review №51

Delicious food!! Friendly staff!! Will def be returning

Diner Review №52

First time here with friends. Staff were friendly.
The food was a bit sweet for us. Please make sure when you order Thai food because we got a wrong one dish.

Diner Review №53

Amazing food! Great service! Great atmosphere & customer service!

Diner Review №54

The only thing that suck is the parking lot. LOL Food so satisfying!!! Wish we could finished it there but nope gotta save it for later.
Thank you

Diner Review №56

Amazing food, friendly staff. Very quiet usually.

Diner Review №57

Diner Review №58

The Pho was a little salty, but otherwise delicious. Very nice staff!

Diner Review №59

Small restaurant with only one not too patient server/receptionist. Ingredients were not fresh and cheap, boat noodle soup tasted terrible, coconut milk noodle soup was overly sweet. Not worthy for the quality, especially already charging almost $17 for a bowl of noodles.
As mentioned by another reviewer who left a review 2 months ago about their fake prices, they still not changing the price and not informing people before ordering besides their small hand writing cards on the wall.
I give benefit of doubts that they haven’t change every single paper menu, but there’s no excuse for not changing the special menu on the board, very sketchy.

Diner Review №60

Diner Review №61

Fake prices on both regular and special menus. Make sure you ask how much more they are charing for each dish before placing your order, almost every item is $3-$5 more after tax.
Taste is lightly worse than other similar restaurants.

Diner Review №62

Food is fresh and flavorful. Reasonably priced. First time and will be back! Want to try more items.

Diner Review №63

This place is amazing.. The food is the most authentic and delicious I’ve been able to find here in New England. For context, I spent 4 months in Thailand and 1 month in Laos in the last year and this food brought me back across the world. Thank you to the friendly staff member today as well :)

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

Incredible food in a little, unassuming restaurant. No ambience but there are amazing noodle dishes

Diner Review №67

Double check your bill. All of my items were the wrong price and my drink was double the price of the menu listing! A $20 meal marked up to $30 and it wasn’t even good. Don’t eat here unless you want to get ripped off. Just go down the street.

Diner Review №68

Fake prices on their official website - expect $4 more each dish. We called to order something that’s marked $7.95, but they charged us $11.95 for it. There’s no way for us to know ahead of time. They didn’t mention it either when we called.

They said that the prices on their website are Pre-Covid, and they are working on it. It’s interesting to see that they haven’t yet got the time to update the online prices since then - intentionally or not?

Diner Review №69

Amazing flavors, great service despite a huge crowd.

Diner Review №70

Diner Review №71

The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious! Crispy rolls were flaky and crispy, Kanom Jeep (pork and shrimp dumpling) was flavorful and fresh! Chicken Satay was awesome, definitely homemade and big, not frozen, pre-made stuff. Definitely on my repeat list!

Diner Review №72

Always amazing been to Thailand and Vietnam and the food is authentic. Be careful with the spice level, because like I said this is the real deal. Tapioca balls, Pad See Ew, Pho and incredible green papaya salad. Can't go wrong. I almost hate to say this because I don't want crowds but it's that good. Service is friendly and helpful. Dinein and take out.

Diner Review №73

The Thai Boat Noodles was INCREDIBLE!!!! Honestly the best I've had in the US.

Diner Review №74

I was looking for a "late" dinner (around 8 pm) and this was one of the only Laotian/Thai restaurants that seemed to be opened later.

The food was amazing and very authentic - coming from someone who grew up in a Thai neighborhood. I had the boat noodles and my boyfriend had the morning glory and pork belly. Be warned, it is spicy but you can probably ask to have it less spicy. The Thai iced tea is freshly brewed everyday and not overly sweet like the Americanized version. We also got the stuffed tapioca balls, which was a very unique thing that I've never seen before, but a Def try since I doubt you can get it anywhere else.

I also happened to meet Donna, the owner and head chef, and she was such a sweetheart.

Diner Review №75

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Interesting flavours abound. I had the Larb Moo, furiously spicy just as I like it (we can skirt around how pork in this language is "Moo"), and variously around the table we had mango fried rice, Pad Thai, Boat Noodles and some chicken foot soup. It all got attacked with vigour although the Boat Noodles kind of got forgotten and showed up about as most of us were nearly done. Some portions were big and so there were plenty of leftovers to take too.

Had the sukiyaki which was new to the menu. Everything from the broth, to the meats and veggies inside meshed very well. Highly recommend this spot

Diner Review №83

Food is great, service and management is very bad.

Diner Review №84

Had an okay experience here. The service was a bit jumbled and slow but the food was overall pretty tasty. Not the best Thai food in the area.

Diner Review №85

Absolutely fantastic, so fresh and flavorful, cannot recommend enough

Diner Review №86

Beef Larb and papaya salad was delicious. It tasted just like how my mom use to make it.

Diner Review №87

Diner Review №88

Best Thai food in Lowell! Honesty, it's fantastic. My girlfriend and I go here nearly every Friday for lunch. The food is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. If you want good Thai food check them out.

Diner Review №89

My first time trying this place and I tell you this is the best Tom yum soup I’ve ever had and the chicken wings are amazing. The larp is spicy but so flavorful I can’t get enough.

Diner Review №90

After looking for authentic Thai Lao food with many good reviews, I chose to go here. Food is okay but not really satisfied with some order. Thai Basil comes with a bunch of scallions, bell peppers, and onions which is not authentic. I asked the waitress and she said they use scallions and top it in most of their food. Sweet taste is in all plates. Not impressive for first time.

Diner Review №91

Great place nice workers

Diner Review №92

Ordered papaya salad, beef larb and boat noodle. Allll were soooo good. The boat noodle had plenty of meats and the broth was very delicious, unique and flavorful. Highly recommend to try if you're in the area

Diner Review №93

Small diner for a good taste and fair cost.

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №96

my absolute favorite asian restaurant in lowell!! i love trying new dishes everytime i come here and i’ve never had one i didn’t like. you definitely need to give this place a try!! owner is also super sweet!!

Diner Review №97

Why can you named your restaurant Laos & not including Thai named. Do you see Thai restaurant on this planet with Laos & Thai named together. I don't think so. I'm very disappointed.

Diner Review №98

Food is not worth the 45 min wait. Very sweet drunken noodles with no spice and swimming in oil. Pho broth and noodles were ok, but only a few bites of meat. The fried rice tasted burnt and we never actually received our Tom yum soup. Staff was uncommunicative and unapologetic until it was time to pay the bill (tip). No idea where the good reviews are coming from.

Diner Review №101

Excellent authentic taste

Diner Review №110

The food is excellent. Service is a bit slow, but worth the wait. I only find the attendant (owner?), the one with fake eyelashes, Very rude and condescending, from the way she throws the menu at you to the way she talks down on you. I"ve been there three times this week, and her ways are really despicable. They could probably make more business, or people like me just put up with it in exchange for the comfort food. I hope that her family back in the kitchen, take note of this. They are probably not aware or notice this since they are busy at the sizzling woks. Good luck.

Diner Review №111

Small place, decent service. Could get loud in there at times. Food is flavorful with good portion. Could see myself coming back.

Diner Review №112

Great service, great food, great people! Highly recommend. Have had the drunken noodles several times and pho is fantastic. Enjoy!

Diner Review №113

Best in Lowell

Soooo gooood!!! My absolute favorite Lowell restaurant!!

Diner Review №124

Phenomenal lunch. Two standout dishes: Larb gai - a minced chicken salad that was super tasty - nice fresh herbs, black pepper and spices - lemony dressing - one of the best I have ever had. Isan sausages which came with sticky rice - lean homemade pork sausages with a baked almost caramelized exterior. Again some of best sausages that I have had. Super homemade spicy tomato relish. Definitely will be back!!!

Diner Review №125

I am so glad we found this restaurant. It is family run by Donna and Lucy. They are very inviting and welcoming. Their food is absolutely amazing! We have been there many times and tried a variety of dishes. My favorites are the papaya salad which gives us that hit of sour and spicy which they can tailor to how much heat you can handle. The chicken Larb is also delicious, it is packed with flavor, like a party 🥳🎉 happening in your mouth. I tried their boat noodle but that broth was too rich for me, I prefer the pho with seafood or their off menu innards noodle soup. I would also recommend their fried chicken and mango sticky rice for dessert. You really can't go wrong with any of the dishes here.

Diner Review №126

Good food Good services love ❤️ we will come back Thank you for young Boy services

Diner Review №127

I just didn't enjoy the food.

Diner Review №133

This restaurant will serve you fresh, fulfilling, and flavorful food! My friend and I ordered the perfect amount of food and I can definitely say it will leave you feeling more than satisfied. First picture is the Sai Qua Thai sausages, nice balance of sweet and salty crispy on the outside but perfect on the inside. Second is Thum Mak Houng (papaya salad) the balance of shrimp paste, crab paste, snd much more … you will get flavor in every bite and we got 5/6 spice level and it was not as spicy! 😊 third picture is Crispy Lad Nar which was basically white noodles but this time it was crispy. I loved the texture in every bite it was much different than the usual that I order but I actually prefer it that way now 🤣 but the last picture are the Crab Rangoons …. I will say less because they’re always good!

Diner Review №134

I had the egg rolls and the basil chicken.
The food is extremely fresh and the egg rolls and sauce were really good. Service was good. My only complaint was the grapao gai. It was good but way too spicy that it masked the flavors, but the fried egg that comes with it was great, nice and crispy. I’ll have to ask to make it less spicy next time and try again, but maybe I’ll order a different item next time.

Other than that I recommend this place.

Diner Review №135

Cute restaurant, friendly employees who are kind and quick. Reasonable prices for amazing, quickly made food. Will definitely be coming back!

Came in for dinner on a whim and wow, were we impressed. We started with the crispy roll which had a ton a flavor. We could’ve eaten 2 more orders of these… so good! My partner had the Drunken Noodle which had tons of fresh vegetables and was just delicious. I had the Pho with chicken. The broth was so fresh and tasty and it came with a generous side of bean sprouts, fresh Thai basil, and more to mix in. We cannot wait to come back to try more dishes! Service was very good, too!

When one door closes and another door opens… We stumbled upon this spot for our family dinner and boy was it delicious. 5 huge stars!!

We have eaten a lot of Thai food all around the world and this was one of are favorites by far! Every dish was put together perfectly with the right amount of heat, sweet, and depth of flavor.

The owner and Chef, Donna, came out to say hi and thank us for coming out to support her restaurant. This place has only been open for a little over a year now and will now be our new family lunch/dinner spot for Thai food. Thank you Chef!! See you soon :)

Everything's good and the servers are super nice (it can be slow but it's because they're making everything right there- just plan ahead). I've had the thum lao and khao piak sen, both great, esp with the option to sprinkle on all the condiments ( no idea what some are, one is a spiced peanut and another is chili in oil… all are delicious)

Absolutely amazingly awesome. REAL authenticity thru and through. Wonderful service. The food was the best I've ever had.

Diner Review №162

Dishonest pricing at this place

Their coconut juice is listed as $2 on the menu. They billed me for $4. I said the menu says $2. They said it's out of date, and still wanted me to pay $4.

DOUBLE the price is not out of date. These are dishonest people. Just put stickers over the price with the updated price like every other restaurant.

Diner Review №169

Hands down, one of the best restaurants in Lowell. Authentic flavors, great dish decor and aroma. They really know their spices! Make sure you ask for mild spiciness if you cant handle spice. Family owned and the owners are the nicest people you’ll ever meet! (They had to refilled my water 8 times cause i couldn’t handle my spice) Every single dishes here are so has the perfect combination of savory, spicy, sweet and well presented. Definitely our go-to place for Laos Thai Foods!

Diner Review №170

This a great restaurant. The food is very good. The people who work here are wonderful. House fried rice is amazing. Love the pan seared dumplings. Original wings are good. Clean place with plenty of metered parking on the street. This is great take out too.

Everyone has different dinning experience. On April 10th, 2021, we went to eat there, there was no customer, only 2 of us when we arrived. We sat at the table around 2 minutes, the waitress came and took our orders. She didn't write it down, she put in her head. All of sudden more customers arrived and the waitress started to confuse. Half hour later, she came to us and asked what did we order, we told her again. The customers sat next to us got their food about 30 minutes, they arrived after us. We waited more than an hour, we still didn't get our food. We figured out, the waitress had never placed an order of our food. She never admitted nor apologized her mistake. We desired to leave the place. Wasting our time. Be sure she writes it down your order.

The owner and her daughter is super nice. The food was really good and tasty. If you not really good with a spicy food I recommend to tell them to make 1 star spicy or less. I’m so happy to found this place.

Friendly service, decent food, average prices.

Just make sure you check the lid on the container as they didn't do a good job sealing the container and sauce leaked out of the bag onto my pants and shoes. (Perhaps they should switch to plastic bags.)

food is acceptable but a bit sweet.

Authentic Lao food. My favorites are Pak Boung Fi Dang(stir-fried Morning glory veg) and Papaya Salad.
Yummy boat noodles, but be careful of the peppers. The broth comes spicy.
The chicken feet seasoning is perfect with beer or wine. You can bring your own wine at the moment but ask first.
My husband's favorite is the vegggie pad thai w/ no eggs.
Location is good, plenty of street parking.
Small family own with great service.

A buddy of mines recommended that I try their boat noodles and it didn’t disappoint me at all if anyone is looking for authentic Laos cuisine this is the place for you

Diner Review №192

The food is delicious! I ordered a drunken noodle, assuming it was mekathung lol, but it wasn’t. Definitely would go back for that dish, and don’t forget to get their Thai tea! So creamy and rich in the tea flavor! The girl working the front was very welcoming and sweet
