Their crunchy coconut rice and quail are standouts. The chili prawn was quite solid, spare ribs decent and a little salty.

Laotian food! Try the pork spring rolls and coconut rice balls. Spare ribs and chili shrimp both great too.

The space is a little cramped. But the food is great and well thought out. We dined here for restaurant week, delicious!

Great service, fun atmosphere, and good fun but pricy… then again, it is tribeca…

The house pride is sticky rice, a Laos staple. It’s tight-packed but not oily nor gluey. Served with a mild, chutney-like tomato dip and, much better, atom-splitting bang-bang sauce. Read more

Order the sticky rice app with Bang Bang sauce. Oh man, it's hot, but everything's better with Bang Bang.
Amanda RellaFebruary 24, 2018
Cool spot to go if you're looking to try something completely new. The chili prawns with the garlic scallion toast were unreal.
Jenna Odett LaskinJanuary 31, 2016
Skip the papaya salad. Sticky rice is a nice way to start the meal, don't miss the duck laap or pork curry noodles.
MaiFebruary 13, 2017
The crunchy coconut rice and whole quail small plates are excellent. I could eat the crunchy coconut rice all day.

Try a new food downtown like this ping-pa I tried w/ @MMB88 at @Khe_Yo restaurant in #NYC Great #food experience! http://t.co/rsC1s9kcW1 - surprising, warm atmosphere, perfect service.

The upscale takes on Laotian food here are too subtle for our tastes, but they can deliver some satisfying southeast Asian flavors.
Lori LuoMay 14, 2015
NYC's first Laotian restaurant seems to have missed the mark. Small portions yet hefty prices, and a less-than-spicy range of food leaves the diner wanting.

The menu is minimalistic, but at least all options are delicious.
Monica CullenJuly 1, 2016
Bar tenders will whip you up something special if you ask. Had a strawberry smoky Mezcal drink fit to my palate.
Agatha YuJuly 31, 2019
If your ultimate fantasy is sticky rice, this is the place. Get their laap salad and curry noodle 💖
Chris VolinskyMarch 1, 2019
Salmon and pork belly rice bowls were both fantastic. Brussels sprouts appy also recommended
jon ferrerAugust 23, 2014
My only experience with Laotian food. Spicy, great flavors, though I might skip the chili shrimp if I went back.

This city unfortunately does not have that many good, southeast asian restarurants. For better or worse, that just makes Khe-Yo that much more special. It's actually really great, great flavors here.
Andrew CerdaMarch 17, 2016
If you're looking for awesome catering, we had Khe Yo bowls [via ZeroCater], which were awesome awesome!
Keira AlexanderAugust 17, 2013
Whole bass is very yummy! Prawn entree low on prawns, but order extra sticky rice to soak up the superb sauce!
tracy paasoJuly 30, 2013
Rosé pairs nicely with all the food. Favorite dishes are coconut crunchy rice and pork belly/shrimp crispy rolls.
Village VoiceMarch 5, 2014
Village Voice is proud to welcome Khe-Yo to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. We'll take some of that crispy coconut rice, please.
Jonathan L.November 8, 2023
Doesn't feel authentic at all. Pricey as well. Pork Bahn mi is alright. The large pork belly chunks don't go well with the sandwich.
Charles DodsonAugust 25, 2013
Sticky rice with bang bang sauce is amazing. If you're feeling adventurous, try the pig face if it's on special.
Peter LeeOctober 21, 2017
Incredible lunch deals with impressively authentic flavors and without coma-inducing portions.
Canan GonensinJanuary 21, 2016
amazing food-ambiance-service! get the prawns, spare ribs and everything that has rice!
LeisurelyFebruary 28, 2018
The Must Orders: Pig Face; Bamboo Grilled Quail; Duck Laap; Crunchy Coconut Rice with Sausage
AditiSeptember 29, 2013
Crispy rice was great, the chili prawns were so flavorful; and that bang bang sauce is to die for!!
RyanAugust 26, 2016
If you don't get the Crunchy Coconut Rice, you're doing it wrong 😉
Jenny BPAugust 17, 2013
It's not on the menu, but the pig face is AMAZING...tender meat and crunchy crackling all in one. They only make a few each night!
Cheema's NYCMarch 17, 2014
When they say "spicy" they mean it! Make sure to ask for the specials, we didn't and missed out on half a roasted pig face :(
Val TJune 27, 2015
Perfect your spring roll-wrapping technique with pig face and/or black bass. FYI no true dessert menu yet
Jeffrey ZhaoNovember 18, 2015
this place is amazing. Make sure to get the chili prawns and pork curry noodles
Swen GrahamNovember 14, 2013
ProTip: They do one thing for lunch and they do it well. Bahn-Mi with a cup of Au Jus.
AlexFebruary 4, 2016
flavorful and wholesome food. the sticky rice is in point as is the sauce.
Justin MascioJanuary 27, 2016
Bangbang sauce on everything! Jerky small bites and sake will go a long way!

We suggest sitting at the bar and ordering food. It's not a very comfortable dining room.
LaurenNovember 11, 2022
Shrimp pad-see-ew. Yellowfin tuna special. Crispy rice.
SavorySweetLive MargaretSeptember 20, 2013
Love the grilled black bass, bamboo grilled ginger quail and the Duck salad!
AleFebruary 4, 2017
Great place! Crunchy coconut rice and quail are standouts
Barbara BoucicautJuly 24, 2014
Amazing food and service! The Spare Ribs and Sea Bass were delicious.
Travis RamseyOctober 8, 2015
Spicy. Bowls are good. Dinner is good.
Mark DurneyAugust 6, 2013
Get the mango lemongrass tequila drink. After a few of those and you'll be ready to put your paws in the sticky rice. Inhibitions to the wind!
Clare RosDecember 20, 2014
Everything is incredible especially the red snapper with artichokes!
Allan BeaufourOctober 6, 2015
If they have their Brussels sprouts special, get it.
Jess LauJune 17, 2014
Even better the second time around. Two words. PIG FACE. Do it.
MarcelaJuly 23, 2014
