About Us

Fresh flavors from our vibrant street food kitchen.

At Lao’d and Toasted, we bring the bold, vibrant spirit of Southeast Asian street food to every bite. Our menu is inspired by the flavors of Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and beyond — crafted with intention, tradition, and a whole lot of love. Family owned and Operated!

We specialize in bánh mì, rice dishes, summer rolls, bánh bao, house-made desserts, and refreshing Thai and coffee drinks. Every item reflects our commitment to freshness, authenticity, and the handcrafted techniques that define true street food culture.

Crafted Fresh, Every Day

Our baguettes are baked fresh daily, giving our bánh mì the perfect balance of crisp, airy, and warm. All of our meats are marinated in-house using our own recipes, then grilled, baked, or steamed to bring out deep, aromatic flavors.

Flavors That Feel Like Home

Our bánh mì are layered, vibrant, and packed with flavor.

Our rice dishes feature our house-made Lao sausage and fermented mustard greens, bringing a comforting, homestyle depth to every bowl.

Our bánh bao are made in small batches from scratch, including our popular char siu filling, steamed soft and fluffy in small batches.

Every ingredient is chosen with care. Every component is made in-house. Every dish is prepared to honor the food traditions we grew up with — and to share them with our community.

Food That Brings People Together

Lao’d and Toasted is more than a food concept — it’s a celebration of culture, craft, and connection. Whether you’re grabbing a bánh mì on the go, enjoying a rice bowl at the market, or cooling off with a Thai iced tea, we’re here to serve fresh, soulful food that makes you feel good.
