Sap Sap Lao Deli & Cafe

This White Center restaurant could trick you into thinking it’s just a sports bar. Because it basically is. There are plenty of TVs (both inside and out), a wall of beer taps, and a huge bar at the center of everything. But there's no bottom-of-the-fryer tots or stale nachos here—just excellent Lao food. During the week, it may be a tame place to slurp a recovery bowl of kao piak sen with chicken broth and chewy housemade rice noodles that will bring you back to life. But come here on a football Sunday, and prepare to party with Seahawks fans drinking Singha and snacking on spicy chili chicken wings and crispy golden pork belly.
