The place is beautiful, the first taste of the food was delicious lots of flavours however the food was extremely salty to the point that I couldn’t eat most of it. I ordered 4 different dishes, each had its unique taste but the amount of salt spoiled the experience. Once we got the food the waitress never came back to ask how we were, so we didn’t get a chance to tell her about it. We ordered 4 meals 1 was not salty, the second one was salty but we were able to eat it because of the mixture of the vegetables but the other 2 none of us could eat.

This is our go-to place in PSC for a nice terrasse with good food. We had some of their salads (papaya and mango) as it was a hot hot day and it was refreshing. The skewers are to die for and a must! Their spring rolls were also delicious and very generous in portions. Definitely recommend for a summer eat with a quiet terrasse at the back. It is also bring your own wine!

Such a great little gem of a restaurant with a gorgeous terrasse and BYOW. Food was great, service was great, and so well priced. Can’t wait to go back!

I was really excited to try Sep Lai for my first taste of Laotian food—and while the food itself was delicious, the overall experience left a lot to be desired.
We waited over an hour to place our order, even after telling the waitress multiple times that we were ready. When the food finally started arriving, it came in waves—so people at our table were eating at totally different times. Some were still waiting while others had already finished, which made things pretty awkward.
I had the dried meat with a super tasty sauce, the chicken spring roll, and the soup. All of it was genuinely delicious, and I was very happily surprised.
The biggest downside: we were seated on the back terrace, right next to a pile of garbage that smelled strongly of dead fish and cat litter. It was disgusting. We had to step away several times because the stench was unbearable. That really ruined the vibe.
Food was great—but bad service and a gross setting made it hard to enjoy.

Excellent experience at Sep Lai. We were 3 and ordered 4 dishes and they were good potion. All of them were very good and nicely presented. The waitress was nice and friendly and we loved the terrace. It is really great to be able to bring our own wine or beer. I will go back.

Great neighborhood treasure ...creative, delicious Laotian cuisine. Dinner last night was so good I thanked the chef. Everything she prepared was delicious and fresh, with great combinations of flavors. The tapioca and taro pudding with coconut cream and black sesame seeds is one of the best desserts I've ever had. Charming terrace out back in the summer.

Great food, veeeeeeery slow service. Expect at least an hour to get food.
They have a very cute yard. We didn't sit in the yard because it was supposed to rain but we checked it out after. It was really cute. The food was good. I liked the soup with meat and noodle better (the non creamy one). The beef skewer was good too. Not a big fan of the steam sticky rice tho. Overall we had a good time there!

The food was delicious and the service was prompt and helpful, the decor was great, my only gripe is that the prices for the appetizers on the printed menu were not the same as what was written online, they were $1 more.
