Specializing in the gravy-soaked Lao noodle dish lad nah, Ladna 88 makes a wonderful addition to the roster of Southeast Asian eateries.

The restaurant opened in 2023 in a new building on Bradyville Pike, just steps from the old International Grocery—once operated by the same family now running Ladna 88. The menu features pho, pad Thai, curries, chicken wings, papaya salad, pepper steak, pad ka pao, fried rice, and other Thai and Lao favorites, alongside its namesake noodle plates.

That lad nah [pictured, top]—with its wide, chewy noodles, Chinese broccoli, onion, and your choice of protein—comes drenched in a savory gravy and the whole dish exhibits a lovely smoky soy flavor, the unmistakable char from the wok.

“High heat,” says Ladna 88 owner Boun as he proudly displays the splash burns on his arms, nodding toward the kitchen. “That’s how we do it here. In the wok.”

That attention to detail and care and technique put into every order turns a good dish into a great one.

“Awesome pad Thai! Amazing depth of flavor,” said customer Brian Wah after a recent Ladna 88 experience.

The pho—a beloved Southeast Asian comfort staple—is also a local favorite at Ladna 88.

“This is the best place in Murfreesboro to get pho,” says Troy Simmons.
