Spicy Joi Banh Mi x Lao Street Food - Concord, California

Bé N. B.

Food: it was ok
We like the Crispy Pork Belly & Lao Sausages.

We also ordered
- BBQ Chicken Banh Mi, BBQ Pork Banh Mi - my kids says the only good thing was the bread🤣 - was okay
- Soy Sauce noodles and chicken fried rice - a bit plain

Food was a bit pricey as well.

I love the art wall. The place is nice, clean and spacious. The staff was nice and welcoming.

An authentic Lao and Thai restaurant. Food was on point. You just place your order and can dine in or take it to go. Pork belly was crispy and the kao soy was really hot that it burned my tongue. Make sure you let it cool down a little if you order that. Will have to try the papaya salad platter next time when we're in town. It was just too much for two people to eat it.

I had the Khao jee pâté or Banh Mi and it was really delicious. I’ve had both the pork and Laos sausage versions and both are fully of flavor, mix well with the veggies and had a perfectly crisp French roll. I highly recommend.

Ironically the last time we came here was during the pandemic, and we received better food and better service than our last visit. We were in the mood for some comfort food so made the trek here, but met with "meh" service, as if we were a bother, and the food was only okay. They supposedly close at 8:30pm but was already putting up chairs and sweeping at 7:45, making us feel a bit rushed to get out of there. Either way, no longer on list of places to go for comfort food.

Friendly service and food arrived pretty quickly after ordering.

Got the crispy pork belly and the khaosoi luangprabang/minced pork noodle soup. The pork belly came was plated on a lettuce bed, with side of steamed cabbage, sliced cucumbers and sticky rice. Sticky rice was drier than what I am used to. The jeow som was good!

The khaosoi luangprabang was large! Lots of pork (both sliced pork and fried pork belly). However, broth was bland.

I loved the Lao sausage Bahn Mi (add the egg)! Very good price, and very tasty.

Delicious Asian food, great if you like rice and are craving for the optional spicy taste. The self-service free lemon water is good. The pork dish had the right crunch to it. The chili was good. The side vegetables balanced the taste. Our soup had tofu in it, it was mild until you add the chili oil or the chili seeds. Restroom was wide and clean down the hall. Staff was attentive and approachable for requests like take away plastic, extra bowl, or spoon and fork. Besides the mural, they decorated for the season too, it was a nice touch.

It was our first time dining at the restaurant. Very nice interior with high ceilings and a beautiful mural painting of Thailand, Laos and surrounding countries. We were invited to place our order at the register and pay prior to taking our number stand to an avaliable table. Iced water was self-serve on the counter near the register. We ordered the kapoon, kasoy, and the pork belly combo with sticky rice and sauce. We added an extra order of sticky rice. The portions were quite large for the prices listed on the digital screens above the cash register. Each dish was packed with flavor and we found that they were very unique to this restaurant. The kasoy had a generous portion of crispy pork belly as one of the toppings. The sauce that came with the pork belly combo was a perfect blend of sweet and salty. The kapoon came with a cute little metal cup filled with mint and whole dried Chili Peppers. We will definitely come back again to try other items in the menu.
