I love this place so much! Everything is perfectly cooked. Each grain of rice is perfect, and the banana spring roll dessert is heaven on a plate. You can't go wrong. Might be the best restaurant in town and I used to work at Susanna Foo!

caity colburn

they give the smallest portions, if you order pho it just tastes like it was made with store bought broth.
they don't give you parts of your order and then they say there is nothing they can do.
when you order direct from there they charge about 15 dollars for delivering even on orders over 50 dollars.
...then the delivery driver tries to scam you by saying he has no change.

This city has some mediocre Thai options but this is not one of them. Everything here is great. Easily a top 3 restaurant for me in the city.

If you're seeking an unforgettable dining experience, look no further than Vientiane Bistro! This gem offers an incredible array of Laos and Thai dishes, each bursting with flavor and crafted with care. The menu is a delightful journey through the rich culinary traditions of both countries, showcasing an impressive variety that caters to every palate.

The ambiance inside the bistro is nothing short of enchanting. With its beautifully designed interior, soft lighting, and tasteful decor, it creates a romantic atmosphere that's perfect for a special evening out or a cozy dinner date.

One dish that stands out for me is the steamed tilapia. It’s simply exquisite—tender tilapia delicately covered in a luscious red curry sauce, prepared with such artistry that it’s a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. The balance of flavors in this dish is remarkable, making each bite an absolute delight.

Overall, Vientiane Bistro is a culinary treasure that combines exceptional food with an inviting atmosphere, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in the vibrant flavors of Laos and Thailand. Vientiane Bistro is the bomb diggidy!!! Check it out!!!

Stopped in for some takeout. Ordered a papaya salad, pad thai with shrimp and a thai tea. Papaya salad was good, but the portion was very small for $14. The pad thai with shrimp was a bigger portion than the papaya salad. But, it had zero pad thai flavor! It was a bunch of stir fried shrimp, broccoli, carrot and noodles. It tasted more like a Chinese than Thai. The pad thai was extremely expensive at $24 and definitely did not taste authentic. Regular size thai tea (12 oz.) was pricey at $6. Total cost for LUNCH was a wallet buster at $48. It's too bad they're so overpriced. I really wanted to make this restaurant one of my go to spots for Thai but I cannot recommend this place due to their overpricing and lack of flavor.

I don’t like to dish out bad reviews, but this place was especially bad.
(1) bad service, gave me the wrong order
(2) food was badly prepared
(3) overly expensive

Would not return or recommend to anyone. The place was also completely empty.

Been here before love LOVE the food but this visit was a little disappointing. We made reservations was seated a large party comes in after us the waitress give the other party water not us then goes to take their order so I said excuse me we didn’t get no water like are you going to take our orders? We were the only Asian couple at the time all the other customers were white……. Maybe cause we were a smaller table? But unacceptable either way

Paneng Curry with sticky rice, spicy, Chicken and Extra Vegatables.
Ordered at 4:12 and order arrived at 4:35 :). Very fresh chicken without grizzle and nice thin slice. Vegetables were carrots cucumbers and beans maybe steamed lightly. Very esthetics and tasty. Sticky rice is popular there so I tried it. Fun to eat and went well with the peanut sauce. Uber eats delivered with no drama.
