This is probably my favourite "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant in Redding. The food is always delicious and unique -- it's a sort of modern fusion style combining Laos cuisine with elements of others -- try the Laos Sausage Tacos and you'll see what I mean! But if you've got a hunger like a bear, go for the sapprito -- I recommend opting for honey sriracha sauce for a sweet and spicy kick!

Because I've only ever had great steaks here. The Rustler Ribeye and Twice-baked potato are my go-to. Paired with a bottle of Freemark Abbey Cab Sav and you're in business.
