The food at Champa Garden is always fresh and delicious - taking me back to Thailand and Laos where I lived at one point. Very authentic dishes and consistent high quality. I like eating in the casual atmosphere in the restaurant, similar to one I'd...More
This simple unassuming neighborhood restaurant serves Lao, Vietnamese, and Thai dishes. We had two kinds of noodle dishes: Tom Jood Wonseen with shrimp was unflavorful — sort of like watered down chicken broth with transparent noodles. The other noodle dish we had was better. Service...More
My family have been to this restaurant few times, and first time for me. Small place but very busy. In the evening always long line. I enjoyed the food there, taste authentic. Reasonable price, good portion. We had Champa's Fried Rice, Avocado Rolls, Tom Ka,...More

Yes, the neighborhood is iffy at night. Street parking is difficult. The restaurant is very casual (think, formica tables and naugahyde chairs). However, service was quick and gracious. The food was sublime. The Champa sampler appetizer was a meal for two in itself, with some...More
I've heard about this place for a couple years and finally went there for a weekday lunch. The duck curry was to die for. I can't wait to try another dish at lunch again - dinner, I know, is usually crowded. Service is efficient, and...More
