Laos Market

I was in town visiting and had to stop by here for their papaya salad. I moved to California and can not find a place that serves papaya salad Lao’s style. It’s still delicious as I remember and cheap too. As I was waiting for them to freshly make the papaya salad, I saw some green sour mangos and purchased two so I can make my own mango salad at home. Workers there are super nice and friendly too. If you haven’t had Lao’s papaya salad you are missing out! It’s my favorite aside from mango salad.

Good food but be aware LOTS of MSG!!! We got so weak everything we ate their foods, that feeling wont go away unless we drink warm water or it just stays there for a while…

WOW! Fresh produce great variety. Must thank the person who pointed me in this direction!

I love going here for most of my food items that other stores don’t carry. The owner is so nice. The place is small but it has a lot of stuff. There’s a kitchen where you can order spring rolls, papaya salad, phở and many more. All of it is very good. I love their many sauces for dipping sticky rice into. I enjoy the going there and seeing what new things that got. I definitely love the premade spring rolls, beef jerky, sausage, and desserts. Good place, good service.

OMG this place saves my life sometimes. I am far from home without a doubt and the authentic prepared food here takes me straight there when I need it.
Mom is way too far to serve up some of her famous Laos cuisine and here at Laos Market I can grab my all time favorites and go.
Of coarse it’s not located in the best part of town but better then other markets and the staff is always so nice to me when I need some assistance when I am craving my ethnics food. Kop Jai lie lie for this place that is Laos for thank you very much for this place!!!

My family and I have been coming here since I was a kid. We get our rice, produce, and seasonings here. The staff is friendly and treat you like family.

This is the Asian market we used to frequent all the time when I lived in North Las Vegas. Unfortunately (actually, fortunately! :P), we moved from North Vegas back in 2012, so my visits since that time here have been few and far between.
Even from the other side of town, this place is pretty easy to get to since it is located just north of the 95 on Las Vegas Blvd. It’s easy to miss in a very nondescript little mini-​mall, but it’s a fantastic little gem! It is actually just a stone throw from the Neon Museum!
Even though it is on the other side of the planet for us, we don’t mind making the trek out here every so often. Why is that, you ask? Well, I’m so glad you asked! That is because they have a solid selection of meats, noodles, rice, and Asian snacks that you are probably looking for! Like every other Asian store I have ever stepped foot into during the course of my long life (I’m old: P), this place crams a ton of stuff into every nook and cranny of square footage they have! The prices here are fair, even if they aren’t necessarily «bargains».
The people here are nice and try to be as helpful as they can, even though there can sometimes be a language barrier.
I’ve been patronizing this place for many years and will continue to sing it’s praises. For what it is, it is a solid, reliable option!
4 stars.

Located relatively close to the Fremont street area before the neon sign museum in a run down shopping complex with many blacked out windows.
Lots of unique grocery items to make authentic Thai/​loas food. I picked up some brined cassia leaves in a glass jar, frozen yanang leaves and googled recipes for them while doing so. My parents used to make dishes from these ingredients and I’d like to try n recreate them at home.
A few pre made desserts and food items at the cash register. A solid array of stinky fermented fish and shrimp products line another wall.

Love this market.
lots of things to try.
salad, desert, appetizer
they have two table on the side and can help heat it up.
will be back again to try more things.

I barely leave the strip when i’m in vegas. But I have a couple of friends that live out in vegas and they recommended this place. Is like food mom cooks at home. It taste just like mom’s home cook lao food. I love spicy food especially non americanize lao food. There’s really not much to say about this place. I’ve only been here once. I rated this place a 5 star due to pricing and taste of food.

Me and my friends was starving. I decided to google and found out there was a Laos Market that sell and serve hot Lao Food. We had to make a stop. Reminded me of food at home. Everyone was really friendly. Warmed up some of the package food we bought for us so we can eat it with our food we ordered. We ordered Phở, Kaopiek, Kaopoon, papaya Salad, Sticky rice, lao sausage, nam, aom chicken, lao beef jerky and Sakoo. We were extremely full!

This has since been one of my go to places for thai/​lao spices and marinades. Finally out of marinades, I had to make the trip to this cozy convenient store yesterday evening.
Bought
–Oyster sauce
–Fish sauce
–Soy flavoring sauce
–Sautee sauce
–Chinese broccoli
–Nam snack stick (A must try)
Greeted and was helped up to purchase transaction. They have a variety of vegetables and asian seasoning. What I would like to see more of is fresh meats and seafoods. This would earn a 5 star rating from me considering the nearest seafood/​meat convenient store I like is Seafood City, another inconvenient 20 minute drive. Don’t get me wrong, they do have some frozen meats and fish here, but my preferences are more on the fresh side. Needless to say, this place has everything else you would need to make some of your asian favorites from soups like Tom Yum, Phở, Tom Khah, to curries like Panang, green and massaman.
Products always nicely shelved and organized. A huge variety of brand options. They also have some snacks like the Nam snack stick, fried banana, or that famous lao Som Tum, or papaya salad.
Curious about how or what you need to make your favorite thai/​lao dishes, stop by here. They’re always willing to help.

Awesome place. You can find a real Thai– Lao food and ingredient over there. Everybody is super nice, friendly and very helpful.

This place is located in a sketchy part of Las Vegas, but nevertheless, it’s really legit. Me and my family accidentally stumbled upon this place and come every chance we’re in the city.
They have delicious pre-​made foods like larb (ground beef salad), salty bamboo salad (yum nomai), nem kao (kind of like a fried rice), and all kinds of sauces like cheo bong (spicy sauce.) My favorite are the homemade pork beef jerky and the fresh sausages that they make. The best thing is that they sell sticky rice — hot — in little ziploc baggies.
They also sell fresh produce, snacks, drinks, frozen items, and canned/​jar items. It’s a mini grocery store that also sells really great food. They also have chairs and tables in the back where you can sit after asking them to warm the soups or food up for you.
Just be aware of how much you’re racking up, though. Although things are a reasonable $ ⁵⁄₆ that can last you about two meals, we usually spend over $ 100 there.
Definitely recommend going and giving them a try. They speak great english and, if you speak it, they speak laotian too! Most delicious food (other than momma’a cooking) there is out there. It’s like a taste of home, smack dab in the middle of downtown Las Vegas.

This is the only place I go when I’m craving papaya salad. I used to have neighbors who were Laos that always made it for me and ever since I moved, I’ve been on the search for authentic Laos papaya salad. After ordering it at many different restaurants and being disappointed, I was surprised that this market makes it perfectly! Since it’s only $ 4 a bag, I can’t help but get two orders. The owner also asks if I want sticky rice with it, but I prefer to eat it with fried chicken lol.
The owners are very friendly and always ask if I need help putting groceries in my car. The store is well stocked, they always have rice noodles for phở (which is hard to find in most Filipino stores.) They also sell phở, which is made to order, if you ever feel like having soup.
They charge 75 cents if you’re going to use your credit card, but thats no biggie.

I totally forgot all about this store!!! I used to come here when I lived here before. I was actually looking for a DIFFERENT Lao store but couldn’t find it and we had passed this one the other night on the way to Vegas StrEATS so I remembered it!
They make papaya salad there, you just have to tell the lady what you want and they have sticky rice! Plus other prepared food like larb gai and naam in the fridge! YESSS!!! I’m so glad we went by here and I remembered it! It’s closer than going to the East Side to the lao restaurant for my papaya salad needs! WOO HOO!

This place is awesome. I’m half Laotion and I can never find a good Laos Market where I live. I went to Vegas a few months ago and discovered this place on the first day. We kept coming here until we had to go home.
The owner is super nice and reminds me a lot of my grandma. Super sweet. They even have a little room where they served us some fresh tum mak hoong and kow piek (after we asked if they had it). Everything is well priced and pretty fresh.
The workers there are super nice and helpful and I will definitely be going back whenever I’m in Vegas again.

Great hidden gem. It’s places like this that I would never stumble upon if it weren’t for Unilocal.
I came here for one purpose — to have the Khao Piek, which is the Lao version of Phở Ga (Chicken Phở), but much much, much sexier with bolder flavors.
The noodles are made of tapioca and the broth is a little thicker than Chicken Phở, probably from the noodles. The broth has so much more flavor. Be sure to add the chili oil, fried garlic and onions.
When you walk in the store, it is really small and there are 2 small tables of 4 chairs all the way to your right. If you just walked in, you would have no clue that you can order anything. We asked the cashier and I had to pull up the previous Unilocal review to show the cashier since I couldn’t pronounce the name right.
After the Khao Piek, we shopped around a little and got some lime leaves (hard to find in most supermarkets — even spring mtn) to make Tom Yum. We also bought a huge thing of fried onions — Yum.
My knowledge of Laos cuisine is pretty limited so next time I’ll do my research and ask the cashier what else they can whip up.

Good spot if you’re in Vegas to pick up fast Laos food. They have a lot of food ready for you to choose from nam, larb, sauce (jel bong, jel maklen)… I always stop by here when I am in town to pick up their jerky, sausage and sticky rice. Its delicious. And I take a couple extra back home with me and sometimes store it in the freezer to eat later. I also get their saku-​ya-​sai, with the letttuce to wrap it. Also try their papaya salad too, they make it really good here especially if you request it spicy!!! You can also order ka piek sin or ka pun here and it’ll be ready in no time.
Its a little bit away from the strip (but well worth the drive), you have to take Las Vegas Blvd all the way down past the fremont area and past the 95fwy and it’ll be on your left hand side in the corner.

You’d never ever ever expect to find what you find behind these doors! Even as a volunteer at the Neon Museum down the street, I never heard a peep about this place, and even if I had noticed the sign, I’d probably have been hesitant to stop. This generally isn’t the direction you head when you’re gathering groceries.
So, what do you find behind these doors? A well-​kept, well-​stocked, friendly treasure trove of Asian delights. Opening the doors and walking in is a bit comparable to when the doors slide open on a Price Is Right Showcase and there sits a car. Granted, I did not do too much exploring, as I was on a mission and had limited time. However, there were several customers who appeared to be regulars, a good indication of a quality establishment.
Things I did have time to notice included a wonderful selection of chilled beverages. If you are in this part of town and need a refreshing drink, skip the 7-​Eleven and try something a bit more adventurous here. I was thrilled to find a no sugar added jasmine green tea for $ 1.50! This beats the pants off Snapple.
There were also a couple of refrigerators full of pre-​prepared meals and snacks that all looked fresh and made with love. I wanted to try something, so I grabbed a pack of Nom Tien Cake because it looked and sounded like sticky rice, always a solid option. I am familiar with the red bean variety, but these had mung bean. Nothing surpasses red bean, but I could tell these were quality little creations. I only wish I knew more about Laotian dishes, so I could have picked out a couple of more items.
On a side note: If you go, be sure to check out Leals Barber Shop next door. This place looks like it should be famous. I saw a hand-​painted sign advertising $ 7 haircuts along with a statue of Mary. Love it.
Take a trip and check out both.
