Laotian Restaurants near Alameda, CA

“Everything we’ve had here is so delicious!!! Our faves are the Tom Kha soup, BMV platter, Pad Kee Mao, Chicken Satay, and Mango sticky rice dessert…all so very yummy!!!“

“Great food and service. My earring came off during dinner and I didn’t discover that it was missing until I got home. I called the next day and they went out of their way to find my favorite Christmas earring.“

“We often bring out-of-towners here because it's hard to find Laotian food outside of the Bay and Vientian Cafe always delivers. The menu is super extensive and very reasonably priced, so you can try a bunch of new things each time. We always get the nam kao and the lao sausage (which you can also take home frozen). Angel wings are also super addictive.

Food also travels well if you're looking for takeout. One of our favorite spots in the east bay!“

“I was craving some pad see ew today and decided to try a new spot closer to the office, and I am so glad I found Rose Garden Uptown! It's only five minutes away, and the service was absolutely wonderful. My order was ready early, and the gentleman at the front was incredibly sweet.

Everything smelled so delightful on the way back, and the fried rice pork chop, sweet chicken, and beef pad see ew were all a perfect 10/10! I'm so thrilled to have found this wonderful gem, and it is definitely going to be my new go-to spot.

My only complaint is parking --parking sucks lol I had to drive around 3 times.“

“I order the pumpkin curry. It was delicious. I also ordered the Tom Ka chicken soup. It was too tart, the chicken over cooked. A disappointment for a soup I usually love“

“Excellent!!! I recently had lunch there, and we couldn't stop praising the service and food.“

“I eat Thai food once a week and this ranks among the best in the area...smaller, unassuming place but a very pleasant waitstaff and crazy good food...they also understood “mild” and adjusted all the dishes perfectly...we tried 5 items and all were good!“

“We were looking to try something new & hit the jackpot! The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere fun. We had the Lao appetizer platter which gives a nice sampling of nibbles. Also ordered the som tum goong & the shrimp avocado panang curry, both very yummy. We would definitely come again & absolutely have the som tum goong. We also tried their signature cocktails & highly recommend the Japanese old fashioned“

“It was a great place to get food! they have a long menu, and everything looks delicious. The poke bowl was bigger than I ever seem, and I like how many veggies I got (definitely a plus for me), and the seasoning is new. They didn't fully defrost the tuna, but I think it was okay, and the food was clean“

“5 stars for food, but giving 4 because historically their phone almost never rings properly, and their hostess told me last call was 9:45pm when I called earlier today but they actually close at 9 🤦🏻‍♀️ Their website also doesn’t work properly… so yeah amazing food but management could really use some work.

Favorites:
- Larp
- Pumpkin curry
- Pad ped pla cook (catfish)
- Rice ball salad

Everything, especially the vegetables, is literally cooked to perfection.“

“10/10 experience. The Pad-See Ew is phenomenal it is my go to order and just love it. Smacking even. Proportions for take out are so hearty it last me a lunch, dinner and another lunch. Combined with the peanut sauce it is heaven sent. Juicy and flavorful. Definitely earned a regular“

“This place is really good! I haven’t had Thai food in a while but, I’m very happy my partner brought me tonight! Thank you for your honesty on spice levels, popular items to choose from, and the fast service. Let me just say that the other people that attend this place don’t utilize the buttons around the tables! I over hear people making a big deal of lack of service but… that’s the point! Just click the button when YOU want service! They’re busy enough as it is just hit the button and stop complaining!“

“Excellent Thai cuisine. They have quick service and the curry dishes are full of flavor. It's a small restaurant so you can order to go if it's too crowded to find a seat. If you're game for dessert, try their mango sticky rice dessert.“
