"We submit this Lao chicken noodle soup as the official chicken soup for the soul, especially if your soul is a pit of cynicism and half-empty energy drinks. The soup’s rich, silky broth, squishy vermicelli noodles, and hard-boiled quail eggs are hardy, comforting, and aura-cleansing. Unlike Sao Lao’s other dishes (like the crunchy nam khao), it’s neither spicy nor funky, but it still packs a ton of flavor." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
