Chances are you’ve seen Olay’s tents and trucks at various farmers markets and street food rallies, but head to the Chinatown headquarters and you’re in for a treat. There are more than 80 dishes on the menu, served with an unrivaled backdrop of a shaded courtyard patio decked out with lanterns and neon signs. Restaurateurs Olay Somsanith and daughter Macy Khounkeo dedicate 20 of those dishes to their Laotian heritage in the form of street food and homestyle dishes.
