Everybody was talkin about Kathy's Deli...Kathy's Deli this...Kathy's Deli that. So, I said "What is this mysterious Kathy's Deli everyone speaks of" Well, it just turned out to be about the best Delicatessen in Chico! Don't get me wrong, it's not worthy of a two hour drive...but it is worthy of stopping at each and every time you're in Chico!

Great food! My partner and I came to Kathy's because his brother highly recommended it. I got veggie egg rolls, not pictured because I inhaled them, and pot stickers. My partner got sour, spicy chicken larb, and deep fried beef jerky. Everything was excellent! I can't recommend Kathy's enough! My partner loves spice and even Thai hot dishes usually aren't spicy enough for him, the spicy larb was enough to make him sweat and struggle! He loved it so much! Everything has great flavor. The mural on the wall was really cool, it is world themed, like their cuisine.

We ordered the combo 1 and the ka piak. The chicken and the beef were a bit dry and I wouldnt recommend it. Ka piak however was good. Ive had ka piak from other places, not many variations of this recipe so it was exactly what we imagined.

Ok I came here specifically for the Khao Piek Sen which is a Lao chicken noodle soup, and I was not disappointed. The noodles are made fresh. I asked for a wedge of lime, added fish sauce, chili oil, soy sauce and hoisin sauce and it was FIRE. Try it like that if you decide to go. The fried beef jerky is really good too it has a teriyaki ginger flavor to it and the crab ragoons were nice and crispy. They had mango sticky rice but I didn’t get the chance to try it so i’ll be back.
