Saap Saap Noodles, a Laotian and Thai noodle bowl concept, is the latest restaurant to open inside Lenexa Public Market. It’s taking over the third anchor position where Chilakillers, a Mexican chilaquiles restaurant, last operated.
Saap Saap translates to “good good” in Laotian. It will serve noodle dishes for lunch and dinner seven days a week. The dishes are based on Sichampanakhone’s own family favorites, including phad Thai and Lao-style pho, both of which come with your choice of protein (brisket, meatballs, steak, oxtail, tendon, short rib). Also on the menu are rib-eye ramen carbonara, red curry wonton soup, and crispy pork belly noodles. To drink, you’ll find Thai tea and coffee, sodas, beer, and cocktails. Desserts will feature Ice Cream BAE mango ice cream sticky rice, coconut, and taro-flavored ice cream.
Owner Adison Sichampanakhone and his wife, Jackie, also own the Ice Cream BAE locations in the Country Club Plaza and Park Place. They previously operated a Thai barbecue restaurant, Thaiger, at the Iron District in North Kansas City.
