Hands down one of the best Thai/Lao food and service in the bay! While everything on the menu is delicious, I always order the Papaya salad platter with Angel wings, Lao Sausage and pork belly. Its perfect for busy nights to feed a family of 5. Kao Piek is also one of my favorite comfort foods. They know what their doing at Bhan Mae Vane!
Great place to get some real lao food. We ordered way to much food, but wanted to try a few dishes. The pork belly was very good. The papaya salad was also good. This seems to be one of those dishes that can be made such that certain flavors out stand the others and some people prefer certain flavors. I noticed that this did not have the crab flavor stand out so much, but it have a deep savory flavor that was yummy. The egg roll and lettuce wrap were also very good.Highly recommended.
This is my new hotspot for Laotian and Thai food! I've been here three times now in the past! Portions are generous, and service is great. They do get pretty packed though, so it's good to make a reservation ahead of time.

Well-lit restaurant, instantly welcomed by staff and seated immediately. We ordered the fried pork belly and the appetizer sampler that had egg rolls, shrimp egg rolls and fried tofu with sauces, and a papaya salad.Food came quickly and it was all delicious. We made friends with the couple next to us because they had a dish that looked interesting and appetizing.My dinner date asked me what was missing from the overall experience. We both thought that some music would complete the overall experience, either some Lao or Thai music would be perfect. Definitely will be back to try their other dishes.
In an area where Thai restaurants are a dime a dozen, this is a true gem. Strong flavors, real spices, generous portions and most importantly a smaller menu dotted with pretty unique dishes. Amazingly kind staff, and absurdly constrained prices.I'm writing this as I'm eating leftovers from yesterday and they are still perfect.Can't wait to go back.
Highly recommend! Everything we got here was incredible. Spicy wings were SUPER spicy (just a heads up). A friend and I split nearly everything we ordered. Order a fresh coconut to drink if you can!
Cute interior. Large portions. Super flavorful food. Loved the sakoo, pad thai, fried tofu, fried rice, tod mun... Thai green tea. Great service.

Genuine Lao amazing food and service. First time, won't be last!
Food was great! But, unfortunately we did not enjoy the taste of the Mok Gai. When letting our waitress know, and asked for a different dish, they said there was nothing wrong with this one, and that the description was on the menu. She let us know that since we tasted it we had to pay for it. That’s true, it was our first time, and we didn’t enjoy it (you have to try it to know if you like it!). Now before you say we are “entitled”, this has happened many times before and restaurant owners and staff are more than happy to replace a dish. We are very loyal to restaurants that we frequent. My wife and I were talking about how our food was so awesome, and that this would be a new weekly restaurant for us. We ended up speaking with the owner Mimi, who was pleasant and ended up reluctantly comping our dish. We weren’t pushy. She was very nice, but made it known that we should get more guidance before ordering our dishes. 3 stars instead of 5, because they made us feel like we were doing something wrong by asking for another dish. We will be back again and hopefully our experience will be better.
