"Laotian restaurant Snackboxe Bistro will close its Doraville location but keep the Duluth restaurant running. Chef Thip Athakhanh opened the Doraville Snackboxe Bistro in 2018 to much acclaim, serving fare like chargrilled lemongrass ribs and shrimp ceviche with spicy chili lime fish sauce." - Erin Perkins
"Every meal at Snackboxe Bistro should really begin with the crispy, bite-sized vegetable egg rolls filled with carrots, onions, and scallions. The egg rolls at Snackboxe pair particularly well with the lemongrass spare ribs, Lao sausage, and tofu laap platter." - Beth McKibben
"The Laotian restaurant’s nam khao is one of metro Atlanta’s most vibrant salads. Crispy coconut rice is combined with fermented pork (or tofu) and served as a lettuce wrap. Chopped peanuts give it an extra layer of crunch. Each bite strikes the balance between salty, sweet, and spicy." - Lia Picard, Sarra Sedghi
"Located in the Super H Mart plaza in Doraville, the menu here is a mix of traditional Laotian dishes and street foods, including the khao piak, a comforting chicken rice noodle soup, and laap (meat salad). Try the pork belly or the minced tofu laap. Both are tossed in toasted rice powder, chili pepper, fish sauce, lime juice, kaffir, and fresh herbs." - Beth McKibben, Eater Staff
"Chef/owner Thip Athakhanh may have moved to the United States as a toddler, but her roots in western Laos come shining through at Snackboxe Bistro. The broad menu also overlaps with Thai and Vietnamese cuisine for a likeable selection of dishes that come piled so high you'll have leftovers for days (hint: bring a friend or three). Plates to not miss include wings coated in a funky-sweet jeow bong sauce with just a hint of spice, and nam khao, a classic crispy rice salad, that is a riot of flavors and textures. Made with fermented pork sausage, herbs, onions and peanuts with fish sauce, lime, rice vinegar and sugar, it's positively delicious. End on a sweet note with a slice of coconut cake or fried donuts with condensed milk." - Michelin Inspector
