Unfortunately it's hard to get a hold of Lao/Isaan food at restaurants in North America... best thing is to try to make it yourself or meet a Lao/Isaan person. I also recommend the cookbook Pok Pok by Andy Ricker, which has regional Thai recipes and is more or less quite authentic.

yum! Issan style Larp (aka tiger style)...love it
encourage you to try making it yourself using the freshest beef and chopping it fresh (not pre-ground)

Many prefer it raw, calling it goy dip or laap seua, meaning tiger laap. But in most restaurants you will be served cooked laap, unless otherwise specified.
