Lao Ocean - Southeast Asian restaurant in Gulf Breeze - 368 Gulf Breeze Pkwy, USA

The most flavorful chicken fried rice I've ever had! I got level 1 spicy which added flavor and wasn't too hot because the heat builds throughout each bite. Very delicious, would eat here again 😍

Not the best boba, but the food was so good! I loved that we could choose our own level of spicy, and there was extra chili on the side if you want to add more

Food is decent. Could be spicier for my personal preference 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Service is quick. I’d come back to try other items on the menu.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Gulf Breeze and would highly recommend eating here if you’re just visiting. They have an assortment of various dishes and meals but I usually get the beef Phó. If you love adding spice to your food I would highly suggest asking for the “spicy fish sauce”. The restaurant makes their own in house spice mix of peppers and it’s absolutely amazing. I ordered the beef noodle soup and dressed it with hoisin sauce, crispy pepper oil, Asian hot sauce, and their spicy fish sauce. Included is the Thai bail, bean sprouts and extra jalapeños. The brisket is always so tender and juicy. Their staff is super friendly and accommodating and I eat here at least once a week.

The food was very good and the sushi was fresh. I got the Tom yum soup and tuna sashimi. The Tom yum soup is wonderfully flavored. Next time I want to try a Laotian dish.

I used to love this place when I first started coming over a year ago. I would be there sometime twice a week. I ALWAYS GET THE SAME dish. Eggplant stir fry and fried pork belly. So good! We stopped coming over the summer cuz the food started to taste different and could never get the spice level right, different cook I guess. Today we decided to give another chance. I order my eggplant stir fry and fried pork belly. I ordered 3 dollar Extra eggplant. What I got was less eggplant than what it would normally have. I usually get two fried chicken breast as my protein on the side. What I got was one chicken breast, if that ! 😤

Searched for Thai spot around town, found this little gem. Google pictures do not do them justice. Very authentic and delicious lao/ Thai cuisine. Ordered basil fried rice which was a new menu item, and curry noodle soup. Basil fried rice came out fresh and hot, with ton of ingredients such as Thai basil, yellow and orange peppers, carrots, and a choice of protein. Curry noodles soup with rice noodles, light curry broth which is flavorful and creamy, topped with a choice of protein and red onion slice, fresh lettuce, and crush peanut. On top of that, they had authentic homemade eggrolls which I was not planning to order until I saw someone else ordered them, they immediately caught my eye. Strongly recommend if you are looking for somewhere not just touristy, and seafood orientated that is crowded with people.

My Laotian buddy of mine took me here and said the quality was pretty good. It was my first time having Laos food and I was not disappointmented. I got the Red Curry, Tham Khem, and Shrimp Fried Rice. All were really good but the Shrimp Fried Rice was my favorite. I would definitely come back again.
