Amazing food but the tiny shards of bone in the chicken was not fun. Otherwise, the chicken soup was incredible. The cucumber salad was also delicious & a generous portion. We also got fresh squeezed lemon juice which was large and refreshing. The woman who owns the shop called her French expat friend over to translate for us, since she spoke no English, which is very good customer service. Her daughters were very sweet too.

Excellent and tasty food. One of the best papaya salads we have had in laos. Super spicy which is what we asked for and got it. Highly recommend to go here for the food. And the tamarind sauce with the chicken was so tasty. We are still trying to work out what was in it. Thank you for a great lunch today

Best food of our trip so far (6 weeks in Thailand & Laos). Everything we tried was excellent - staff were lovely too. We liked it so much we went there 4 times! We also did a cookery course and then you see how much preparation goes into the dishes. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon and then we sat down and ate what we'd cooked

After reading the reviews I had high expectations. Maybe too high, and maybe I didn’t choose the right things from the menu, but my fried vegetables noodles were definitely too salty and the fried spring rolls too fluffy. My friend’s tom yam chicken soup and the salad were fine though. Setting was nice too and service was super, so absolutely worth a second try. It’s seems to be a popular place, so they obviously do something good.

If you come to Champasak and miss out on that gem you're a fool! After 8 weeks in Laos, always hunting for the best food, this is in the top 3 - and also the lovely owner couple with their children are a delight. don't miss the chance to take the cooking class and try out the Nem Khao - hands down one of the best dishes ever, with amazing flavors. Typing this review makes me hungry ;)

Can't really fault the slow service as they have no waiting staff, only the cook. Just gotta holler your order into the kitchen, I guess. I was very positively very surprised, at least my first dish was delicious and the beer was cold and cheap. Everything was nice. Cows walking about, kids playing, dogs trying to play the hanky panky with each other. If I'd really have to find fault, it would be that the toilet had no soap available at the time of my visit, that I could see. Also some of the utensils were dirty, but alas, the cook noticed it, not me, and started to replace them of his own initiative. Commendable. It must be uncommon, because the beer glasses were spotless. The lemongrass chicken went really well with the Lao IPA and a burmese cheroot.

We came here multiple times and every time the food was delicious! They serve fresh and homemade dishes for a very good price. We also loved the breakfast here, they have their own freshly baked bread. The owner is a very nice guy too!

My favourite restaurant for dinner in Champasak. Beautifully made food at a good price in an atmospheric street side restaurant.
Ingredients are mostly home made as the name suggests and taste so good. Recommended the noodle and soup dishes in particular.
They also offer cooking classes fairly regularly in the afternoons if you want to learn to cook some of these great dishes.

Totally agree with all the positive reviews! Food is great, the atmosphere is charming and the amount of attention to small details make it truly an enchanting experience! The owners are friendly, open-hearted and the husband speaks English very well, making the small talk easy if you're into conversation. Recommended if you're in Champassak!
