Khe-Yo

I visited on Sunday evening for dinner. It wasn't too crowded but the places filled up pretty quickly. However, I liked it because it was not too loud. Inside was also dark with very dim light. I also liked that it was not too loud even though the seats were right next to one another.
.
My favorite dish was the crunch coconut rice. It was like a rice ball that's crunch outside and soft inside with the sausage. Baby iceberg gave fresh taste to the dish. There were 4 balls in the dish.
.
I also liked the crispy pork belly wrap. Although it was very difficult to make a wrap out of what they gave us, everything combined taste amazing. A bit sweet and a bit spicy.
.
We also had salmon and spare ribs. The green curry in salmon was mildly spicy and salmon was cooked very well. It was very juicy inside. Spare ribs were good too, but it was a bit too salty for me.

We had the restaurant week menu. We especially enjoyed the steak curry, squash salad and the seared duck leg appetizer. However, I feel it is overpriced and seems more pan-Asian than Laotian, but I can't say for sure. I liked our waitress, she recommended a good cocktail. I would try it again but not immediately. Noise level was high and wasn't a full restaurant.

I love to eat at Kee-Yo when I’m in NY. I was born in Laos. Grew up in America. Their food is cooked just like my mom except with a twist ????. I love the Pork noddles soup, crunchy coconut rice is delicious. Ive also had Whole red snapper eat with sticky rice and papaya salad extra spicy is a-must to eat together. Three of us shares all this and have left over. Can’t wait to come back to eat again. Thank you for a great waiter and a great Laotian food. Don’t knock it until you try it.

Great authentic food. Don't be fooled by the American looking servers, the food has that distinct taste from abroad. Usually when you visit restaurants in the US they're Americanized for the locals, but I can tell you this place doesn't. I had the pho, the broth and sauce reminded me of when I get a abroad.

Excellent excellent excellent! Must try the crispy rice appetizer, it’s like nothing you’ve had before. It has such carefully textured notes of tamarind, palm sugar, dried bird eye chili and cilantro. It was definitely one of my highlight dishes of 2018. We ordered the salmon green curry from the mains but that was pretty average. It was much too sour and not adequately seasoned. But overall this place is a MUST TRY AND MUST LOVE.
