Lao Bistro

"Came back a week later with a GF for dinner on a Thursday at 5:00p.... Started with their oysters and was craving their Mok Pla (catfish with seasonings and herbs steamed in a banana leaf), so ordered that again along with the Nam Kao Tod (crispy fried rice tossed with pork, egg, dried coconut, red curry, peanuts in a spicy lime juice) that you spoon into lettuce, roll and devour. Food was consistently good, and service was excellent. I'm definitely a fan! ____________________ Stopped in on a Tuesday at 5:30p. I was the first person sat for dinner, and then more than half of the restaurant was occupied shortly thereafter. Was curious with their Laotion side of the menu, therefore ordered the... 1) Karee Puff (flaky golden pastry filled with veggies and taro) 2) Goong Gra Bok (fried shrimp in egg roll wrapper) 3) Mok Pla (catfish with seasonings and herbs steamed in a banana leaf) 4) Lychee Ice Tea Everything was delicious and flavorful...the fish was so amazing!! Service was great too!! I'll definitely be back to try more of their Lao dishes. Yummmmm!"

"Excellent food and service. We ordered the Goong Gra Bok, Nam Kao Tod, Kao Lao Pho and the Massaman Curry - very varied flavors. Everything was excellent. The Kao Lao Pho reminded me slightly of Bo Kho, with a star anise and large pieces of beef roast (maybe a chuck roast) - fantastic. The Nam Kao Tod (bright, crispy and fresh) and Massaman Curry (warm and hearty) were also equally delicious. Did not get to try the sushi. I love the variety in the flavors and textures. Definitely adding this spot to our favorites. We will be back for more!"

"There's a new restaurant on the island, and it's delicious! If you can't decide between Laotian food or sushi? Why not both right?!? If you never had Laotian food, you're missing out, but don't worry Laos & Sushi Bistro got you, along with some delicious sushi. If you like Thai food, then you will love Laotian food, bc it's very similar but Lao food tends to use more lime and lean on the saltier side. The Mok Pla (Steam catfish) was my favorite dish with sticky rice. The Larb Ped and Nam Kao Tod were so tasty and refreshing with the lettuce wrap. Don't forget to order their delicious sushi, especially the lobster rolls. All the dishes were beautifully plated. Great food and awesome customer service! Check them out when you're in Alameda."

"Food was more than expected. For the price it is worth it. The flavor of the Kao Soy Gai was excellent with strong curry and notes of cilantro and onion. The sushi was amazing as well. Service was on point and on key. Would go back for another try"
