JP Lao Kitchen

JP Lao isnt a fancy spot, but the food is so comforting and delicious that the ambiance will be the last thing on your mind. I first tried JP years ago when they were still a food truck, and their papaya salad and Lao sausage quickly became my go-to order. Last year, my partner and I moved back to the area, and you can imagine my excitement when I discovered they had opened a brick-and-mortar location. Since then, Ive tried almost everything on their menu, and its all been packed with flavor. Im especially a fan of their Tum (salad) options, while my partner swears by the brisket with sticky rice. Its also fun to browse the display cases and fridge, you never know what youll come across. My new favorite, though, is their khao peik. It isnt listed on the main menu, but if you spot it handwritten on a piece of paper (or see their pho available), dont pass it up. They're served in large bowls when you dine in with sauces to dress it up as much as you'd like, and the perfect dish for colder weather.

This is a gem next to the CLT airport. I got the beef brisket medium rare with sticky rice and the jeow som chili paste. Amazing place, my first time trying Laotian food too

First time ever having Lao food...10 out of 10 would recommend!! I got the Lao sausage with veggie fried rice and pork jerky with sticky rice and chili sauce. My wife got 3 fried wings with sticky rice and chili sauce and the spicy papaya salad and a bag of chicharrones. We got a Lao coffee and Thai tea to drink respectively. All the food was great. The spicy papaya salad was indeed very spicy, but was by far my wife's absolute favorite. I quite enjoyed the pork jerky and sausage. The pricing is very fair as well! Will be back again in the future.

This was different! I've never had Laotian food so I was pleased to see the options were not too unfamiliar from other Asian dishes I've had before. The chicken on a stick was fried, which was fine, but I expected it to be grilled for some reason. I got one rib too, which was seasoned well and just ok. Sticky rice was ok, served in plastic wrap and the green spicy chili was tasty. The star was the Mango Milk Tea. Definitely will return to get that, and other flavors in the future. Easy on the wallet, too. Pay cash to get a small discount.

Authentic Laotian food in a fast food setting. Menu could be confusing but the staff behind the counter was helpful explaining things for us. They also sell a variety of Laotian theme handicrafts.
