Overall very good experience. Very good service in general, but sometimes long lapses between check-ins due to a large party that was in the restaurant.

My fourth time brining my office offsite to Lao for our team dinner. Never disappointed! Every single person loved every dish even if they had no idea what it was. Presentation, service and ambiance are perfect! Thank you team LAO!

Exceptional service and food is tasty. Parking is easy with the garage just around the corner in a very reasonable price

food did not suit us and was pricey, we ordered the expensive platter which made a few of us go to the bathroom :(

The overall experience was just ok. The server was very helpful. The papaya salad was a little strange with the big hunks of cabbage. The duck curry was way over cooked.

I loved this place so much I went back twice during my week in SFO. Highlights were the papaya salad and the lamb massaman curry for me. The matcha lava cake is a DEFINITE do not miss - love all the fresh fruit and the matcha ganache bomb! It does get quite loud when it gets busy, so earlier (5:30pm was a bit better for ambience). I don't drink, and wish the mocktail selection was a bit more expansive. The alcoholic cocktails looked fun and had great presentation for my dining companions. Overall, this is going on my repeat list for future trips to SFO.

We loved the food. It just took a long time for the bill to come. I had to flag someone down to get the bill but other than that everything was great !

Cesar

Amazing food! We had the tuna tartare, pineapple fried rice, and short rib curry. Loved it!

This was my first meal at Lao Table. I chose Lao because I'm from the Midwest, in SF for a conference, and looking for ethnic cuisines that are hard to find back home. Several large parties arrived before me, so I was expecting a long wait for service -- but I was served quickly by a very attentive waiter. I ordered two dishes, and both were excellent. I will recommend Lao Table to friends and I hope to return sometime.

I came here for dinner and I knew prices would be expensive given the area, but I didn't realize it was THAT expensive. We got 6 pieces of chicken wings for $17. I ordered their Tom Yum soup and I sadly left feeling really hungry even though my total was ~$31.

Although the food was very pricey, I thought their wings had delicious fried garlic on them! The tom yum soup was good, but I wished it was more than just 16oz for $15.

I don't know the parking situation here since I took the bus, but it's downtown, so I'd imagine parking to be very difficult here. Service here was good, the server was very attentive and kept our waters full.

Full house, so noisy. Very hard to hear at our table for 3. Food was good but not memorable.

Literally no service. There was no water on the table for 10 minutes. Had to walk over to get the waiter’s attention to order. Two out of six oysters were not fresh and very fishy. Jim Julep had nothing to do with a mint julep

The receptionist who greeted us at the entrance was incredibly rude!!! I was looking at the place and he suddenly told me (with an attitude) right infront of my face and infront of my friends that I have to wait for him before I go inside and sit down, I answered him that I was just looking at the place and doesn’t have any plans on sitting down yet coz I know how it goes. Despite the positive experience with the food, the poor attitude from the receptionist left me with a terrible impression and I will not be returning. He was so rude! I got embarassed infront of my friends! This is so disappointing!

Our client lunch did the chefs selection that was recommended. This was great as it had several dishes we could all share and try.
