Lanxang Lao Thai Cuisine

I came across this place on Maps and immediately saw Pho and Samosas on their menu.
My S/O agreed that we needed to give this a shot! For 5pm on a Friday, there was only one other couple in the place when we got there; the spot is right beside the Dollar Tree plaza off Commercial and is actually deceptively large inside. Service was exceptional; the girl that helped us was polite, attentive and checked in the appropriate amount without making us feel smothered.
We ordered the Pho, Thai Samosas, Peanut Lover Sauce Chicken and a Thai Ice Tea.
The Pho came out the fastest at around 5 minutes, while the rest came out about 4 minutes later.
Less than 10 minute wait for an entire meal is exceptional in our eyes! The Thai Samosas went exceptionally well with the clear "sour" sauce they provided and was a really unique touch in something you'd otherwise consider Indian - definitely recommend them! The Pho was solid - not the best we've had by far - but definitely solid.
Hands down the sleeper of the Pho was the rice noodles.
We both agree that Lanxang have the best rice noodles we've EVER had, period.
My S/O couldn't stop devouring the noodles! The Peanut Sauce Lover was REALLY good though - exceptional sauce that tasted what it should be and didn't have an awkward sour aftertaste like most attempts at peanut sauce have.
The cabbage was fresh and crunchy, the broccoli and carrots were good - all around this was damn good for peanut sauce. Price to portion ratio too was really good - our entire meal cost $42.
All in all we would definitely recommend Lanxang as it's currently our best Thai restaurant in the area, and we plan to return to try some more of their cuisine. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very nice owners.
accommodating of different diets.
I'm vegan and got a Rad Nah.
It was delicious AND they brought me jalapeño vinegar for it.
Noodles were slightly burnt which caramelizes them and adds to the deliciousness.
Tasted very fresh too.
Coming back!

Very yummy food and good prices.
Service was super friendly and fast.
Some of the best Tom Kha and Thai Iced Coffee I've had yet! Parking lot is a bit tight, but the food is amazing and there are lots of vegetarian options.
Would highly recommend and will visit again when in Salem.
