Went here visiting Philly. The food was good and it seemed to be populated with regulars, a good sign. However, they only took cash and when presented with two twenties for a $26 tab, was given twelve dollars back in the form of a ten and two singles. They couldn't break the ten into two fives, so I wound up paying a twelve dollar tip on a $26 tab. The service wasn't that good! If your business is cash, then you should be able to make change.
The place looks small from outside but it's kinda of spacious when you enter. They have a very different menu. We ordered Banh-xeo(tofu). This is a first time I had tasted this dish and it was delicious and huge in portion. We also had fried tofu in tamarind sauce. I was disappointed that they didn't have chicken wings. We also had spicy yellow curry and king soup with prawns. The portions are generous and presentation was cute.
the tofu laab and banana tempura are very nice. green curry and aw lao were sweeter than I expected, but still good. the sticky rice served with savory dishes is not something I've had in SE Asian restaurants and was a lovely addition. wait staff were excellent and ambience is nice and unique. food is very pricey, so bring lots of cash (they are cash only).
Friendly staff and the food is always yummy. Cute little place if you choose to dine inside.
I love this place so much. If you’re a vegetarian in West Philly this is the best restaurant you could go to for a varied and delicious meal. And if you’re not veg, it’s also really great. My favorites: Naam Salad, Sticky Tamarind Tofu, bahn xeo (yummy crepe appetizer), kings soup, mook casserole, Aw Lao. We always leave really satisfied and have never had to wait too long for our food.
Great food and a large menu. Service was good and attentive, and the food came out quickly. The restaurant is more spacious than it appears from the street. I knocked one star off because they're cash only.
My friends and I visited Vientiane last night, and I really enjoyed it. Great vegan options and delicious food. Note that they are cash only and byob.
Always good. Service is great. Food is great.
I'm glad they've reopened! I love the yellow curry with tofu.
Nice establishment. Good food
