sets the precedent for laotian . . .. taking into consideration that this was my first time having laotian. the combination appetizer including the rice ball salad, the laotian sausages, and the mini spring rolls with mushrooms and rice noodles was great. the seafood curry was not bad, though a bit on the sweet side if memory serves me correctly. the lue's noodle soup, supposedly a trademark dish with fermented bean, pork, and hofun noodles was was pretty good as well. for dessert--we had a tapioca pudding with condensed milk--very sweet, very heavy, but very tasty. service was just fine in our books.
