Lil' Laos

The food of Laos has not yet made it into the spotlight of the world stage. With only a handful of Lao restaurants in America, it is often compared or grouped with Thai and Vietnamese cuisines. You have heard of destination restaurants, Lil’ Laos brings the destination to you. Described as a rustic version of Thai food, Laotian cuisine is a blend of salty, sour, sweet, herbaceous, fermented, and most importantly SPICY — all in one. A highly crav-able food experience revolving around the staple sticky rice.

Lil’ Laos is a collaborative partnership between Sakhone Sayarath and Curtis Rhodes. Sakhone’s upbringing in Laos gives her a chance of telling a story through food and authenticity with Lil’ Laos. Miami’s first Laotian pop-up restaurant. Sharing the “simple & valuable” flavors of her country with dishes that conjure up. Born in Laos and raised in a refugee camp for 8 years, she brings the memories of her childhood and her mom’s homemade cooking to life, adding her own style while staying true to her roots.
