this place is a hidden gem in Merced. best papaya salad I’ve ever had and all the food & drinks are amazing. In the back of Mercado so don’t be intimidated 15/10 for food and some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet making it.

Every time we eat here it’s amazing! Today we got the spring bowl salad, chicken with rice, and tapioca drink. Great portions and prices with great taste! Also such welcoming and kind service! We will be eating here again 10/10

Food is delish.
Owners are nice.
Food comes out fast.
Obviously not a sit down place since it lives in a small market.

Best authentic Northeastern Thai/ Isan/ Laotian food. Very good price. Highly recommend the papaya salad and tapioca drink. The tapioca drink will make you forget about boba tea, it is another level of sweet delicacy very affordable price and friendly people

A real hole in the wall place! Food is great and the owners are really nice. It is inside of a Carnicería but worth it.

Want real Lao food?…then you must try this gem. It is Take-Out only, and I would affectionally call it a hole-in-the-wall great authentic place to buy Lao specialties. The owners are the cooks, so ice, and you can’t beat their “som tam” papaya salad.
My wife is Thai and I lived in Thailand so feel am a good judge of Isaan and in this case, real Lao food. Try it!
We are from Las Vegas and if passing through again will certainly make this a “Must” go to stop.

This is an excellent little takeout restaurant. It’s located in the back of a small butcher shop/mercado. The owners were so friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed our conversation and they even greeted another customer by name. It was such a pleasant experience in every way.
The extraordinary customer service was matched by some incredibly delicious food. The Lao fried chicken drumstick was crispy, flavorful, and fresh. It was still hot, even after the drive home. The red chicken curry was without a doubt the best curry I’ve ever had in Merced. Most of all, these dishes were less than 10 dollars, which is an incredible deal!
I strongly recommend this amazing restaurant. You should check it out if you’re in the area! I can’t wait to go back.

Best Nam Vanh I’ve ever had. I enjoy everything the Papaya Lady makes. She sure can cook! Been a loyal customer since 8 years old. Lol

The owners are very kind and welcoming. It’s a pleasure to talk to them every time I go here. The food is always so delicious, the flavors are always bright and vibrant. I’ve enjoyed everything that I have ordered here before: Khao Poon, Red Curry, Papaya Salad, Lao Salad, and Lao Fried Chicken with Sticky Rice. Their Nam Vanh is so tasty as well (I ask for 50% sweetness.) They are take out only, and located inside of a mini mart. Their kitchen and service area is very clean and tidy.
