What can I say that hasn’t already been said? It’s all delicious and I can’t help but order too much every time. So many vegan & vegetarian options! The takeout portions are good sizes, though some dishes don’t hold up as well and really need to be eaten in person, like the catfish is 10/10 but I wouldn’t recommend it to go. I love dining in here with 3-4 people and sharing family style.

As good as ever. Service has improved over the years. Champa sampler, rice noodle soup and the house special all hit.

came here on a saturday night at 6:30pm without a reservation with a large party (7) and was seated after ~30 minutes, i lost track of how long it actually took. it was pretty cozy and the tables are not huge so a party of 7 was almost pushing it. from the get-go, it was really popular by the looks of all of their takeout orders! there were 5-6 people waiting on takeout orders while there were probably 6 bags already waiting. the food is remarkably affordable, we ordered two appetizer samplers, 6 entrees, and 2 mango sticky rices. we were stuffed and had leftovers! all for about $25 per person WITH tip! a steal!! food is delicious and fresh, my favorites were the sampler, duck curry, and champa fried rice. the dessert was also delicious! only complaint was the crispy pork belly was most chinese broccoli with some slices of pork belly. otherwise, would definitely order from here again, takeout or dine in!

This nondescript Laotian corner eatery is clearly doing something right. Stepped in on a Sunday at 5:30pm, with every table taken and a list of neighborhood regulars waiting to get their fill. Friendly and attentive service.

I love eating at Champa Garden. By no means have I tried everything, but I’ve never been disappointed with anything I’ve tried. I recommend the sampler; I love variety. The last time I went, we also got the catfish curry (pla panang), which was good. I’ve also enjoyed the eggplant with basil, all of the different fried rice dishes, the noodle dishes (pad thai, pad see ewe, etc.) I’ve been eating here soon after they’ve opened and I recommend them so they can continue to stay in business. Btw, it can get busy, so expect that.

The Champa Sampler is the best thing if eaten in SF!! It’s a bit pricey but easily can feed 2-3 as an app. The Lao Sausage was spicy, flavorful, and had chunky texture-very different. The crispy rice salad was my favorite, it was packed with flavor and texture. All wrapped in a lettuce wrap with herbs and fish sauce. Amazing!

Hidden gem of Oakland. It’s intimate, homey and incredibly delicious. The glittering string lights out front clued me in to the magic waiting inside. There can be a wait, but it’s worth it. Food is authentic and interesting—get the angel wings for an explosion of gluttony—but stay for everything else. It’s very reasonably priced too, especially given that I usually leave with lots of leftovers.
