I’m so glad we decided to give Pakaoma Thai-Lao Diner a try—what an absolute gem! We happened to arrive during their happy hour (such a pleasant surprise), and it set the tone for what turned out to be an incredible meal. We started with the papaya salad and Lao sausage, and both were spot-on. Perfect portions, super fresh, and absolutely bursting with flavor. Then came the Tom Yum, which hit that ideal balance—not too spicy, but just enough to give you that delightful little kick. The green curry was loaded with veggies and protein, rich and fragrant in the best way. And the spicy basil with pork belly? Simply wonderful. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and seasoned with so much intention. But the standout for me—my forever favorite—was the mango sticky rice. The rice was perfectly sweetened, the mango tangy and bright, and together they made the perfect ending to an already flavor-packed dinner. And I can’t forget the hot Milo served in a tin cup; it was a nostalgic, comforting touch that brought back all the sweetest childhood memories. Overall, everything was delicious, balanced, and full of personality. So happy we tried this place, and I honestly can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu. Highly recommend! 🍽️💛

The food is SO good! I highly recommend the specialty crispy spring roll plate, that was the highlight meal of our dinner. Really cozy restaurant, decent prices - I would definitely recommend for a chill date night or as a casual dine in spot for friends and family. 3 plates was plenty of food for the two of us :)

Food presentation was great! Sauce perfectly balanced. Thai salad on the side. With a sweet sauce for the chicken made with honey so delicious. Server was very pleasant friendly and nice inside environment. Small parking area but worth it
