Reviews of interest
- John Talbott (2011) “We ordered and ate “family style” of course, most unFrench, having (from top to bottom) a shrimp and cuttlefish salad, spicy salad with pork bits and pho-like wraps of lettuce, mint and cilantro, fried tripes with a zippy sauce, quail parts and eggs and a huge chicken leg with cukes and regular rice…”
- Le Figaro (2009) “…les files d’attente sont souvent longues sur le trottoir, au moins autant pour le décor ethnique et épuré (du bois brut, de l’ardoise…) que pour les bonnes spécialités, essentiellement laotiennes.”

Just don’t go to this bobo trap anymore, I mean it. It’s not only a matter of taste but of safety also. Went there for lunch today and the food was stale. Like smelly stale. There are hundreds of better places in Chinatown.
Whoa! Strong words, Sophie. Does Mr. Talbott know you feel this way about his beloved LLX2?
The only thing I’m hoping for is that he reads this soon enough before he thinks of going there again.
And the staff is perfectly aware. They did not say a word when they picked up my nearly untouched plate of rotten fried quail.
“Whoa! Strong words, Sophie. Does Mr. Talbott know you feel this way about his beloved LLX2?”
Actually Mr/Dr T., as you both know all too well, went to Lao Thai not LLX2 during the holidays.
And Dr. T. did well, for Lao Thai serves fresh food and the fried quail with garlic and pepper are the best in Paris.
