Downtown Minneapolis Lao, chef Ann Ahmed

Gai Noi

Chef Ann Ahmed’s Lao restaurant in Loring Park, the one that made the New York Times best-restaurants list and refuses to dial down the heat for a Minnesota palate. The larb, the sticky rice, the jeow: cooked the way they should be. Walk-in only, lunch and dinner, seven days.

Saves land in your shortlist; been-heres fill your Passport. Both shape the Best of MPLS. Anonymous, never sold.
