Banh Phonekeo's in San Diego is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Laotian cuisine! 🌟 I always go for the medium-spicy papaya salad, which you can customize to your taste - such a nice touch!
Their beef larp is a must, especially when paired with the Lao sausage that’s bursting with flavor. The casual atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly.
While the portion sizes felt smaller on my last visit, the food remains delicious and worth it for that homemade feel. Just remember, it's cash only, so come prepared! Will definitely return! 🍽️👍
