If you havent gone here already, this is your sign. We love having the kapoon here. Its so rich in coconut and curry flavors. You have a choice between a regular and large. The only thing that was missing for me was the quail eggs. That would have made this a 5 all the way. Were definitely going to be returning and trying other items on the menu.

The Kapoon and the Thai coffee are absolutely delicious. I reccomend adding ground pork and quail eggs to the kapoon, so yummy.

Very good, fresh and delicious. This place is somewhat hidden but it is so worth it. Now that I know about this place, I will be going back to try out more dishes.

I ordered take out; papaya salad and Kapoon. I used to enjoy coming here when it was new because of the papaya salad. It had the right amount of spice, sweet, sour and funk. Delicious then. I just happened to be in the area and ordered Papaya and kapoon, because of old memories. I don’t know what happened, but both papaya and kapoon were very sweet. The taste of the papaya and kapoon had overwhelming cane sugar and pale in flavors of fermented funky padek to the point that I couldn’t finish beyond several bites. Disgusting. I felt like I gained a few cavities afterward. I might as well as eaten a handful of candy corn because that’s exactly how sweet it was. I had my 9 yr old tried the kapoon and she adamantly rejected and said IT’S too Sweet. She didn’t want it. We threw it out. I kind of want my money back. But I don’t ever want to step foot in that establishment again. They have lost a customer. I will not recommend this this to anyone. Horrible food. Shouldn’t even call it Lao Restaurant at this point because Lao food is known for padek not overly sweet sauce or dish. They gave Lao restaurant a bad name. This isn’t Lao food! Maybe this family own restaurant isn’t actually run by a lao family, because this wouldnt have pass the Lao dish standards. I’m done.

Tried laab today, they dont do raw so only medium.It was 👎👎👎👎👎👎Tasted ok, but Beef was overcooked, hard, and super dry.. not worth $15 with tax = $17+I could get better laab from other places..Esp south area market, best laab in sac 😅Kasoy was good the first time cause noodle was thick.. the rest was super thin so it tasted different. So I stopped going. 😅

Had some lunch here for the first time on Sunday that we enjoyed. It was awesome to try those familiar flavors of food and heat we tried abroad in S.E asia. We had the papaya salad, kasoy soup, beef larb, vietnamese coffee and thai tea and enjoyed it all. The service was great, very fast, attentive and kind. We would come back.

This time around, I picked up the KaoSoy noodle soup and Klang Fen. The KaoSoy was good, but note to self...ask for lime/lemon & chili. I cant imagine folks can eat this without the extra condiments. As far as the Klang Fen is concerned, it was the first time me ordering it and will be the last. First things first: there was already water (perhaps tomato) in the Klang Fen? It was a little odd to me, so I poured it out and use the tomato water provided. The bean paste (Dopc zeic) was bland and I mean extremely bland. In any event, no more Klang Fen at The Spot.

I normally order from this place and they have absolutely the best kapoon and beef larb. i myself, usually get the beef larb spicy with a side of sweet sticky rice and i swear it’s the most flavorful thing ever. this is also the only place that satisfies my craving. i can literally eat it everyday and not get tired of it. however, please don’t order it spicy if you cannot handle it.this place is also super understanding! i recently got takeout and they messed up my order, so when i called, they were so kind and thoughtful. they offered to give me a refund or give me the items i missed as long as i brought my receipt. they even gave me extra food to compensate! this made me incredibly happy, especially after i had a bad day at work. thank you so much for making my day better and i will continue to be a regular here. for everyone still wondering if this restaurant is worth it, 100% a must try. i promise you they will provide great service!
