We've been going here or doing takeout from Vientiane for years now. Love their noodle dishes and have tried most things on their menu. They continue to impress with their consistency of flavors and service. The only drawbacks are they remain cash only and wait times for takeout can be long at peak times.

No joke one of the best restaurants in Philadelphia. Love this place. Cozy, comforting, and pretention-free. I usually get Tom yum and a curry but this time I went with Banh-Xeo (fried crepe with veggies) and the king soup (Lao style coconut curry broth over vermicelli). Those dishes and a pot of jasmine tea had me feeling like I'd taken a day at a spa. I'll leave room for dessert next time 😸

The food all LOOKED very good, but was really under-seasoned. I got a 3 out of 5 spice level on some pad thai and apparently should have asked for a 9, because it tasted like a 0. Everything just begged for the bold flavors Thai/Lao cuisine is known for. They need to bring in the padaek attack!

I was disappointed with the yellow curry. Didn't have much flavor - not enough curry paste. The vegetables were also undercooked. On the bright side, the service was great and the employees were friendly. Probably won't be going back though.
I looooove their ban xeo. It’s cash only but their food is fresh and great! I also loved their wonton soup. It was very flavorful.

Great family-owned spot, amazing vegan options!

No frills byob in west Philadelphia. Laotian food is very similar to Thai food and the menu reflects that. Cash only but there is an atm inside.

Visited on Nov 27 '24. Good atmosphere, fun to try Laotian, a less represented cuisine, and some distinct dishes - good dishes, but almost more fascinating than tasty (tasty! but not mind blowing tasty). I got the King's Soup with minced pork, and she got a mint chicken dish with sticky rice. I wish I would have ordered the Thai Ice Tea or Mango juice, as they would have been more unique than the Bigalow chamomile.

Really nice spot for dinner with many options between soups, noodles, and curries, including some I have never seen anywhere else. CASH ONLY
