I love Vientiane. Started eating here 6 years ago when I moved here. However, everything there has almost doubled in price. They used to be my everyday spot for lunch back when they had lunch specials for $7/8/9. Now everything is just as pricey as anywhere else, so I've kinda stopped going. I guess good for them if the price increases bring more money in, but it definitely meant for me that I stopped eating there mostly. No hate, just the reality for me. Seeing such drastic price increases and going from an affordable option for eating out to pricey makes it hard for me to frequent now. They used to be one of the few places with reasonably priced food. Not anymore. Oh well

I this restaurant might have changed owners. Pho was definitely not pho. Out of a lot items. Spring rolls were good.

Small clean cafe has the most authentic northern Thai/lao food
They were very busy and you wouldn't know it the service was absolutely top notch. The food was incredibly amazing. This is a very small restaurant. That I will absolutely be going back to often. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ everything was absolutely perfect.

Wow, this has been on my list for 2 years to come to and my only regret is that I didn't come sooner. The food is so good!like so good! I will be back at least once a month. I've been so tired of less than average for for premium prices. This place is so refreshing. Every dish is a flavor bomb, and for a reasonable price. Don't hesitate, RUN to Vientiane. You won't regret it. Sincerely, a new Fan.

I went to Vientiane with a group of my close friends as we saw a post on social media advertising the restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. I wanted to try the stuffed chicken wings, and they were sold out. I will definitely make a trip back to West Sacramento to try the stuffed wings. The service was not that good as the restaurant was packed and there were only two servers. The staff did not anticipate the number of people coming to the restaurant since the post on social media. We got the food tower, fresh fish, and several other items. Check it out, but I recommend that you go early.

First time having dinner here at this place. It’s a small place that have about 7 tables. The food here is good. My favorite one is the Laos sausage and the fried tilapia with the tomato paste sauce. The kao soy was ok, not too flavor. The red curry was good and a little sweet, which I love it. The papaya was a bit on the sour side, so if you don’t like sour like me, you gotta let them know. The laab was ok, wish I could of ordered it cook. Raw make the meat a bit sticky and gooey. But overall, yes I would come back. The price for these food is decent. All of these for about $90 bucks.

I'll go in to into my gripes first. With the unexpected exposure, the restaurant is understaffed and out of some key items. I can't hold that against them too much. Service was slow (there was only 1 person on the floor). No stuffed chicken wings or mango sticky rice. No blue bath tubs. Now for the good! The ambiance here is great. The food was great. The drinks were good. The lychee sangria is the perfect amount of wine and lychee- not too sweet either. We ordered the tower, drunken noodles, the steak, fried tilapia, chicken satay, and something else I can't remember lol. All very good. The meatballs have a weird texture-i wasn't a fan. The papaya salad is hella good. Garlic pork- amazing! Chicken satay was a little salty. All in all- I'd go back.
Had one of the three soups...it will now be a once a month event. Delicious.

So cute. And the food was delicious. Had the Thai style green papaya salad, the beef noodle soup, and the green curry. Everything was so good and spiced just right. Will eat here again hands down!

I was charged for tofu for a fried rice. However, there was no any tofu in it. I was also charged for “Clover ATM processing fee”. The curry for togo order is only half of the typical size of what I usually get in other Thai restaurants.
