"One of the first East Bay restaurants to really popularize Lao food for a mainstream audience, Champa Garden is probably best known for its sampler platter, which features a trio of classics: crispy rice ball salad, fermented Lao sausages, and fried egg rolls. On a chilly night, the funky Lue-style noodle soup will warm you up. You can get all of the Thai takeout standards here as well. Call in for pickup or order delivery via Grubhub or Seamless. Champa’s SF location, out by Ocean Avenue, is also open." - Luke Tsai
