Lao and Thai Spicy Noodle

I wish I had known about this place sooner! I am Thai and am always looking for delicious Thai food. Lao and Thai Spicy Noodle did not disappoint. Family owned and very nice. They use fresh ingredients and the flavors were perfect. We got the Lao style papaya salad, ground pork stir fry w/basil and fried egg, and Nam Khao. This is my new favorite Thai restaurant. Can’t wait to try their other dishes

First time to visit this restaurant. The food was very fresh and came out fast even with the variety of food we ordered. We also ordered some extra dishes to bring home to share with friends.

Absolutely delicious. Bought a massive family meal here (carry out) with all sorts of things and everything was fantastic. We will definitely be back for carry out and to dine in.

Food was amazing! The best Lao food in Chicagoland. Service was great. The restaurant really has a cozy, homey feel. If you’re not sure what to order, or are new to Lao food, the staff is very friendly and can recommend something perfectly suited to your taste. I got the Nam Neung platter and had so much fun making my own wraps! The Lao beef jerky strips and sticky rice are bomb!

I had a really enjoyable meal. The place has a casual, welcoming vibe, and the menu offers a great variety of Thai and Lao favorites. We started with the spring rolls, which were fresh, crisp, and served with a tasty dipping sauce .The drunken noodles were a standout—packed with flavor, slightly spicy, and perfectly balanced with veggies and noodles cooked freshly. Another highlight was the papaya salad. It was refreshing, and tangy. Honestly, it was one of the best papaya salads I’ve had in a while. The Panang curry with tofu was creamy and aromatic, a comforting dish that paired beautifully with steamed rice. The tofu soaked up the curry flavors nicely, making every bite delicious. I ordered a cold Thai tea, which was sweet, smooth, and refreshing—perfect alongside the spicier dishes. Overall, the food was flavorful, portions were generous, and everything tasted freshly prepared. It’s definitely a spot worth visiting , with plenty of vegetarian-friendly options.

Absolutely loved this little gem! My sister and I stopped by for a weekday lunch, kind of on a whim since it’s close to her work. Small spot, seemed like it was run by just two people, but they really put their heart into it. We ordered the red curry with rice and spring rolls, plus the Pad Thai noodles with tofu. Everything was freshly cooked, and you could tell the chef took his time to make sure it was just right. The food came out piping hot, which was perfect on what felt like the coldest day in Chicago. The flavors were incredible—authentic, comforting, and exactly what we were craving. I’d 100% come back next time I’m in the area. It’s a cozy little place with great food and genuine care. Highly recommend!
