Lao-thai Kitchen - Albany

This was my first visit and I will definitely be back. I had a taste for calamari. I found it on a Google search “Calamari near me”. First I was impressed by how friendly Bau was. The decor was very pleasant and it was clean. Bau was very nice explaining the difference between the Thai and the Lao style Papaya salads, and the spice level. My food was delivered in timely manner and it was DELICIOUS. I read the menu while eating so I could see what to try on my next visit. When I arrived I was the only dine in patron. There were several pick ups and everyone I saw appeared to be regulars. By the time I left the place was half full. I was very happy with my meal the atmosphere and the service. Next time I will try the Pad Thai and the fried bananas for dessert.

LTK Eggplant and Larb Salmon Belly are both super good. I've eaten here a few times, it's exceptionally good. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I enjoyed my dining experience quite a bit. Came on Saturday for lunch. I think it’s the only day they are open for lunch. service is amazing. So friendly and informative. It seems like she really likes her job and the customers. Thai iced coffee was better than the Thai iced tea. Started off with a’ Special’ appetizer of salmon belly salad. I’m no salad fan but this was good. I like the dressing; forget the salmon belly. Then the wings appetizer best dish of all of them. Crispy, sweet and just the right tang and spice. Pad see ew is my next favorite. Think stir fried noodles with veggies and beef. Yellow curry with chicken is the good old standby. You can’t go wrong. The only dish I did not like was the eggplant and tofu. The eggplant was overbooked which made it fall apart, yet the outer sun was really tough. But I’ll be back again to try other new dishes.
