LASO / Authentic Nepalese Restaurant - American Canyon, California

Jorge G

AMAZING NEPALI FOOD. I would give Laso more stars if they were available. This place is truly a hidden gem. Dawa (the owner and server), and her family (all of whom work at the restaurant), made our experience a most memorable one. The food was spectacular. The menu is short enough that you could order almost everything if your party is hungry (and trust me, you should probably try everything). Every one of the dishes arrived promptly, was impeccably presented, and tasted amazing. Every dish was beautifully executed and the flavors were outstanding! The herbs are sourced from their own garden, and each dish had delicate flavors and wonderful textures. Everything (including the sauces) is made by hand, and the herbs are sourced from their garden. Nothing is frozen and everything was freshly made daily. I can’t say enough good things about the food.

In addition to the food, the service was outstanding. Dawa and her family were incredible hosts and treated us like family! She explained every dish (including how they make it). This restaurant is a labor of love and dedication, and it comes through from the moment you set foot at Laso.

The place immaculately clean. This too adds to the fabulous experience. Ahh, and the prices are exceptionally reasonable!

This is a family restaurant geared towards families. They are community oriented, and give back to the community. They even lowered the price of their burger, so families with children can enjoy a meal out without breaking the bank.

Do yourself a favor and RUN (don’t walk) to Laso. Your tastebuds will thank you!!! From the first bite, Laso turned into lovers if Nepali food.

This place is what's great about America. Family-run super authentic Nepali restaurant, the nicest proprietress. Revamped the menu to be lower cost, and is amazingly delicious. You can taste how fresh & homemade this is. Made me feel like I was eating a meal in their home, such a warm and cozy feeling. Tasty, healthy, authentic. A few steps walk from the Fairfield Inn and yet would have been worth a longer drive. Definitely should come!

I love this place!!! had never been to a Nepalese restaurant before today, now I will look for them on purpose. This place is so amazing! I had the beef momo, pan fried dumplings. Excellent flavor! I had no idea… the different sauces, all wonderful:) Ming was the coolest guy to talk to, made me want to visit Nepal for sure. I will absolutely come back here and recommend to everyone.
Next day update: I came back here for the second day in a row, and I almost never do that. I couldn’t wait to try other items on the menu:)

We dined here for the first time, even though we have wanted to check out LASO for awhile based on the glowing reviews we have read, and heard.

We were not disappointed! LASO lives up to all the glowing reviews. I can't pick a favorite dish because everything was so delicious & flavorful. We shared the samosa appetizer (the samosa dipping sauces are amazing), we each had what we agreed were one of the best cheeseburgers we have ever had, and for dessert we shared Ras Malai, a cheese based dessert. Ras Malai is made with a creamy cheese, similar to burrata, but even softer/creamier with more sweetness. The sauce with the Ras Malai has subtle flavors of pistachio and rose water. I also ordered the Mango Lassi a delicious, refreshing beverage that was perfect to drink following the spicy samosa appetizer.

The owners, Ming and Dawa, are friendly and gracious. We enjoyed the warm, cozy atmosphere that has an inviting coffee house vibe. Lastly, the prices at LASO are so reasonable, especially when you consider the high quality of the food they serve.

We definitely plan on being regular customers!

Food is a warm and welcoming taste to someone's culture. We really enjoyed our introduction to Nepalese cuisine and will be back for more!

SAMOSA: Deep-fried pastry filled with spiced potatoes and peas.

PAKODA: Deep-fried fritters, served with a tangy chutney sauce.

Beef Momo (Kothey).  Pan-fried beef dumplings.

RIKI KUR: Traditional Sherpa potato pancakes served with spicy a dipping sauce.
