    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 eat Thai food in our home at least once a week and rice, at least 3 times. I was going through…read morerice and Thai food withdrawals while traveling in Switzerland and, in our search, for a place to eat, we stumbled into Prik Thai--and what a find. My husband speaks Thai so that was good but the server spoke some English. We ordered Pad Thai (we usually steer clear of it in the states because they make it too sweet in most Thai restaurants but the server convinced my husband), Massaman curry, chicken and vegetables stir fry, papaya salad, and drunken noodles. Everything was delicious and what we expected, except for the drunken noodles--they were completely different to what we were used to but still very good. I am very glad that the server convinced my husband to get the Pad Thai because it was amazing. My favorite, however, was the Massaman curry; combined with the rice, it was absolute heaven. I was happy. The food is great, prices are very good, and service is quick and friendly. Our family was in their very happy place and ready to explore more of Luzern.

    Yelp Review 2026 #44:…read more We came to Prik Thai because of multiple factors: it was close to our hotel, we wanted food with flavor, it's highly rated on all review websites, and it had been raining all day. I saw pictures of their Pad Thai and it looked the same as the Pad Thai I would eat in Bangkok. So, I knew what I was going to get even before getting here. We walked past this restaurant several times to/from the hotel and there's always a lot of people. It just has to be good. The restaurant is small with maybe 10 tables. To see the menu and place your order, scan the QR code. Our server brought us our drinks and she asked us if we placed our food order and we had to show her what we ordered. A few minutes later, our food arrived. But we didn't have plates. We asked for plates and the server seemed confused. We were too. Are we supposed to eat straight from the plate the food came in on?!? Chicken Pad Thai: Looked legit. Piping hot. I cut the egg-wrapped pad Thai in half to let the steam out. It had red onions which changed the flavor. This was a cross between pad see ew and pad Thai. It had a smokey/ barbecue-esque flavor to it. The portion was massive - it can be shared by 2 people. Did not finish. 2/5 Spring Rolls: It comes with 3 per order. Piping hot as well. Very oily. All I could taste was oil. Did not finish. 2/5 We waited over 30 minutes after we gave up eating to get our check so we could leave. But all the employees took their dinner break all at the same time. We had to walk to the counter so somebody could acknowledge us. Our server, who was still chewing, asked us if we wanted our leftovers to-go. It wasn't good when it was still hot and fresh. It certainly won't be good cold. My hair and my clothes smelled like cooking oil after.

    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!
