Eat A Lao is now open

Eat A Lao, a new restaurant featuring Laotian, Vietnamese and Thai cuisine, is now open at 1327 Rockville Pike, Units I, J and K. It has taken over the space that recently housed the Sadaf Halal Restaurant, which closed at the beginning of 2024.

The menu includes cleverly named dishes such as “Lend Me an Ear” (cold pork ear), “Ribs in Peace” (grilled pork ribs), “No Guts No Glory” (chicken gizzard), “Have Some Neck” (grilled marinated pork shoulder) and ” Crying Out Lao” (lay steak) and more.

The restaurant says: “Driven by an unrelenting determination to share these cultural delights from a faraway land, We warmly invite you to explore our cuisine and our heritage. Directly across from the Tesla showroom on Rockville Pike, next to the Woodmont Country Club, our humble home is located in the back corner of the Sunshine Square Shopping Mall.

“Sabai dee” is spoken to welcome our guests and at the beginning of the story. A story with a cozy atmosphere and a menu full of exotic dishes. Eat A Lao Restaurant offers an iconic menu with diverse flavors, delicious and accessible to palates from all over the world. Come as you are and get to know Eat A Lao.”
