    Pho & eggroll
    Taylor S.

    Kind of tucked away in a side street and we almost passed by it. But it was raining and my family wanted a more affordable option for dinner so we luckily came across this place. It is a small place with limited seating, so takeaway may be your best bet. You order at the counter first, and if dining in, then seat yourself and pay after. It was near closing time and many items were low in the counter. The restaurant was packed when we came and we had to wait for some space to open up. But it was worth it! The menu is mostly Thai food but we all got pho. It came with meatballs and steak. The broth was unlike any other pho I've had before. I am used to more plain, simple beef broth but this one was much more flavorful. It was clear that they added roasted garlic and cilantro, among other things. They also already include the sides (like beansprouts) in the soup. The pho was different but I enjoyed it very much. The fried eggrolls were also good. They were giant and had beef inside. Also a warning: the chili oil is very spicy! Overall, I was pretty satisfied.

    Vegetarian pad thai - it came with firm tofu, egg, and various veggies like bok choy and cauliflower. Pretty good!

    We were in Luzern looking for a relatively affordable dinner, and found Khoua Vientiane through TripAdvisor. Glad we did! My partner and I ordered a pad Thai with tofu and a Penang curry with tofu. Both were pretty good - not the best Thai food I've ever had, but decent, and a nice change from the cheese-and-bread heavy meals we'd been eating in Switzerland the few days previously. If you're vegetarian, this is definitely a good spot to check out. For reference, our meal was 35 chf. A few more notes: this restaurant is tucked away on a quiet back street behind a hotel. When you enter, if you want to eat there, grab one of the menus from the counter and order directly there. The owners and servers speak good English. We also saw lots of people ordering the pre-made food - it looked like you could get a plate with rice and maybe two scoops of whatever they had available that day (various curries, sautéed meat/veggies, etc). You could eat that plate there or get it to go, and I assume it was cheaper than ordering off the main menu.

    Surprised at how reasonably priced and delicious this place was. Definitely a hole in the wall gem! I definitely will be back.

    We decided to give Song Pi Nong a try after reading the good reviews on our first night here at…read moreLuzern and Switzerland. The restaurant itself is quite small and at dinner time only one single staff at the front. We had a wait a bit before she was able to clear the table. It also took her a bit of time before they were able to take our orders as there were couple other tables in front of us that just sat down. Despite the initial slow service once our food got here everything was good. The portion size was quite nice the white rice was definitely bigger bowl than I expected. The quality of the food was quite nice about what I had expected very comparable to good Thai restaurants here in NYC. The price was definitely a shock at first as with most restaurants here in Switzerland however compare to other places it's quite modest at around 20-30 CHF for main entrees. Definitely a good choice if you looking for Thai food here at Luzern. Better to ask ahead if you're a larger group however as the place is rather small probably only sits 5-6 tables total.

    I'm not sure why their rating isn't very high. We ate lunch here today and the food was wonderful!…read moreEach dish was beautifully presented and flavorful. So, if you find yourself in this high traffic tourist spot, don't be afraid to try Song Pi Nong! If your experience is as good as ours you'll have a great one!

After seeing bun rieu (crab noodle soup) on the menu, I was excited as it's one of my favorite noodle soups! Being in the middle of Europe, I went in with low expectations. The toppings and accompanied veggies and herbs were lacking, but I'd expected it. What I was not expecting was how authentic the flavors were! The broth had that crab and shrimp paste flavors and they even had the authentic soft and creamy crab paste which not too many restaurants get it right. My husband had the bun bo hue, the same dish he had at the other restaurant, Saigon, from 2 nights earlier. He preferred the other restaurant's BBH over at SG. I liked the flavor of the broth at Pho Mai better, but the toppings were better at SG's. Instead of beef shank, Pho Mai used rare beef steak (typically used for rare stead pho). Overall the flavors for both dishes were well done. If they'd just put a little more effort in putting in more toppings (especially for the BBH as it always come with multiple proteins aside from beef slices) it would take this restaurant to another level. But I can understand why they'd cut corners as their menu is quite extensive with many dishes and it seems they're also short-staffed.
