"Wonderful place to try authentic Lao food! The house-made noodles are amazing, and the soup noodle flight is a must-try. I also really appreciated how clean the proteins were — both the chicken and beef were lean, not heavy or fatty at all. So many unique flavors you won’t find anywhere else in town! This is a great place for private events as well."

"We loved our soups. If you are feeling cold and hungry come here! The Pho was delicious and had all the ingredients I wanted, with no add-one needed. My wife had some amazing Kowpiak Sen, which is a great comfort food from her childhood. We are so lucky to have such fantastic Lao restaurants in this city, and Sern Sap is one that you need to visit!"

"Do NOT sleep on coming here! Sern Sapp has phenomenal food. My friend and I each ordered the soup flight (3 soups + salad) for brunch. I got the khao poon gati, khao soy, pho, and a thai iced tea. The thai iced tea is easily the best in Madison. I knocked off a star in the service portion because I received my friend's order (we both ordered khao poon gati and pho) instead of mine but everything was so delicious it didn't matter. The soups were bright, fresh, earthy, creamy, and delicious - layers and layers of flavor. I'll be coming back."

"I love this restaurant! Song the owner and his family are caring in the caring service, fresh ingredients, and delicious Laotian dishes he prepares! We tried the dumplings and crepes…tasty tender and delicious. For entrees we had curry and pho (although I can’t remember the proper names ) each dish had a great depth of flavors that tasted like a slow cook to develop the rich favors. It was amazing! After the entrees Song brought us a beautiful cooling summer soup made with coconut milk, fresh corn, and grass jello…it was sweet, cool, and refreshing… it was a delightful unexpected treat! Try the lemon grass tea too!…wonderful and soothing."

"Best Restaurant in Madison. Lunch started with complementary sea grass tea. I had Or Gati - a rich curry dish with a hint of turmeric powder, mixed with carrot, eggplant, onion, bamboo, and green beans served with a side of jasmine rice, fresh basil and either soup or salad. Protein choices were beef, chicken, pork, and tofu. I chose pork. This was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and organic. And the restaurant itself is clean."
