We’ve tried too many crispy rices that aren’t actually all that crispy—but this is not a problem you’ll encounter with the nam tod khao here. There are chunks of rice in this dish that produce an audible crunch. But there’s also tons of flavor too, thanks to the lime juice Lao spam, dried chilies, and peanuts you’ll find in just about every bite.

Crispy Rice (Nam Tod Khao)

These are hands-down some of the best chicken wings in town. They have an airy breading that’s somehow both puffy and crispy all at once. And the sticky tamarind-honey-garlic glaze coats every craggy millimeter of the chicken wing.

There is no sausage in Miami as complex and tasty as Lil’ Laos’ sai krog muu. The little meat tube consists of a housemade blend of pork belly and pork shoulder, in addition to a small army of herbs, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, and sweet rice that works its way into each bite. We love to pair this with a side of their sticky rice.

Sausage (Sai Krog Muu)

While we’re on the topic of crispy deliciousness, let’s discuss this mushroom fritter. The delicate tempura batter creates a thin shell that really seals in the flavor of the tender mushrooms. It’d be great all on its own, but when you throw it atop a lovely red curry sauce (like Lil’ Laos does) it becomes one of the best mushroom dishes in the whole city.
