Sao Lao Thai Café is a hidden treasure! I had the boat noodle soup and the red curry with chicken, both bursting with flavor. The cozy vibe and friendly staff make it perfect for families. Definitely planning on coming back to try the nam khao!

Sao Lao Thai Café in Houston is a gem! 🌟

I visited on New Year's Day and was impressed by the cozy atmosphere and attentive service. We shared the boat noodle soup, which was tangy and flavorful, and the Thai Pork Basil - the highlight of our meal! 🍜

The owner shared her inspiring story, adding a personal touch to our experience. Although they were out of nam khao when we visited, I can’t wait to return and try it. Overall, it's a must-try for authentic Laotian and Thai flavors! Highly recommend!
