"Lao’d does feel like it’s straight from a Laos night market — open-garage doors, floral tablecloths, live plants floating above the bar. The dishes aren’t afraid to be legitimately spicy. The beautiful coconut escolar ceviche is served in a halved coconut. The whole crispy chili prawns were a savory crunchy delight. Everything is served with whole chiles — a necessity for those seeking spicier flavors." - Nadia Chaudhury
