What is the story behind your business' name?

YAYA is a playful nickname my mom created from the last syllable of my name, Sarah. She took 'Rah,' changed it to 'Ya,' and then doubled it for fun.

About Yaya's

  • Women Owned
  • Minority Owned
  • Asian Owned (AAPI)
Yaya's is a pop-up based in Austin, TX, serving up fresh Lao-inspired dishes with heart, history, and a whole lot of flavor. Founded by a Rhode Island transplant craving the diverse food scene left behind, Yaya's first popped up in Austin circa 2022 with a menu that features eggrolls, sweet Lao kua mee, spring rolls, papaya salad, and savory beef skewers, each dish reflecting a deep connection to culture and community.

As demand grew, so did the vision. Yaya's has expanded beyond casual pop-ups into a catering business that brings authentic Lao flavors to weddings, birthdays, and company gatherings across the Austin area. Every dish is crafted with care, using family traditions and crowd favorites to build a menu that adapts to each unique event.

Known for its loyal following and word-of-mouth referrals, Yaya's continues to grow without losing its personal touch. From casual foodies to first-time tasters, this pop-up brings something different to the table and leaves a lasting impression with every bite.
