Lao Restaurant & Bar

Great upscale chain of Laotian inspired dishes. The food was excellent and the service superb. Their speciality cocktails are also a winner. The barkeep Robert is an expert mixologist and spirits connoisseur. Fantastic experience and highly recommend to anyone seeking Southeast Asian inspired dishes in downtown Greensboro.

I wholeheartedly recommended. Excellent Southeast Asian food. The real treat is the bar that runs nearly the length of the restaurant and has the best bartender in town (David). Eat at the bar. You won't be disappointed.

Great experience! Quick seating and service. The chicken satay is a nice lite appetizer. The peanut butter sauce went great on everything. The other sauce was great for cleansing the palette. The wings came breaded with a Sriracha mayo on the side. The waitress mentioned the green chili sauce for more heat. The Kau Probang was very tasty. Rich savory beef skirt steak bites with green beans and green onions. I went with the sticky rice over the jasmine for a more authentic touch. They have a spice sampler plate if you enjoy heat.. it normally comes with the green chili sauce. Since I already had that with the wings the waitress added peanuts and cucumber slices as a palette cleanser. My date had the Kua Mee with pork belly. I had a taste and it was very good as well. The lome slices add a bright acidic note to the sweet and savory dish. She mentioned it being spicy to her. I didn't notice but I had already sampled other spices. We both had a beer at the start. She had a bright cider and I had a bourbon barrel aged amber. Both paired nicely with our meals. Not wanting another beer, I was driving that night, I got a traditional milk tea. It had smokey notes mixing and swirling in the creamy milk. It helped counter the spices.

This is my first time having Laosian food and this restaurant totally did not let me down. Every single dishes was very flavorful. This is much better than Chinese food. The ambiance of this place is small but definitely offer the BEST food in town. I highly recommend for everyone to check this place out. The Lao Sausage was amazing. The Roasted Duck was to die for. I prices on food are all quite reasonable. If you are in Greensboro, this is a MUST go to place.
