Lao Café does the real thing—authentic Lao food that doesn't apologize or water itself down for the room. James Beard and Eater both got it right.
Harry HungryHarry's headline verdict, 0–100. How good the place actually is, once the loud reviews and the timid critics have cancelled each other out.
Worth ItWorth-It Score, 0–100. Whether the bill is fair for what lands on the table. High means good value; low means you're paying for the postcode.
