My new favorite! We ordered takeout and it came fresh, hot and DELICIOUS! Everything I ordered was hands down the best I had ever had. The flavor was incredible. The Pas See-Ew was perfect - juicy and flavorful. The crab rangoons were sweet. And the Lao Crispy Egg Rolls left me craving for more even though I couldn't stuff any more into my tummy. I highly recommend and will definitely return. read more

Tiny seating area when it's cold out (order takeout), but in warmer months there is an outdoor patio with more options. Food is consistently good. I like the curries as well as soups. They also have a stand at the local indoor farmers market that's totally worth stopping for lunch at. read more

Ordered take out, food was excellent & hot. Very well prepared, flavors were spot on!! Highly recommend.

I'd order taken out as the two 2-up high tops are all there is. Outdoor seating in good weather too though. Food is amazingly tasty and good size portions. Not expensive either. read more

Unfortunately we won't be back. We've been coming for many years (not that often but about 8 - 10 visits) and while the server is absolutely lovely, we can't justify $60 for a lunch for two when the food has grown to be so ... uninspired. The Cornish game hen is served with some boiled? frozen vegetables that have no sauce and are absolutely tasteless. My pho with beef had 3 ingredients, broth, noodles and a couple pieces of beef. No vegetables at all, and this time not even any fresh sprouts on the side like I used to get. It was ridiculously simple, 3 ingredients and hardly any beef. Have always liked you but I think you've gotten tired of making the same food over and over. If we are going to spend $60 it has to be some tasty food and some generosity on the part of the owner. read more

Ok so first of all, it was near closing time and in early fall when they still had their outside seating they let us order but when we asked if we could sit outside after they close and give us our food they said no. So we had to take our soup and stuff and suck it up over by the coffee shop. Food was bland and skimpy on the chicken. Noodles were like package style ramen so not very good. Worst was trying to eat wonton soup out on a bench! read more

I got the fish pocket for takeout, it was excellent! Lots of vegetables and a nice light curry sauce with just the right amount of heat. Will definitely re-order from this place! read more

Definitely a hot spot in the town. The owners are super nice but they are always busy. The food was pretty good but nothing phenomenal. On the other hand the view was phenomenal right overlooking the water. read more

Laan Xang Cafe - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Belfast, Maine

Review for dinner on 5/28/2021: This place does not have indoor seating, but offers a great view of the River in Belfast. We ordered Lao crispy egg roll, Lao Fish pocket (Mok Pla) with sticky rice, and the mongo sticky rice as desert. All food were delicious, with the fish being the highlight. The fish and veggies were wrapped in a steam bag that keeps the warmness and the curry flavor. The sticky rice was served in a separate bamboo container. read more

Laan Xang Cafe - Mok Pla - Vietnamese Near Me - Belfast, Maine

Really excellent. Had the tofu red curry. Generous portion, right amount of sauce, nicely spiced. Lots of veggies; eggplant, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, bamboo, peppers, carrot, green beans and fresh basil. All cooked just right, not mushy like in some places where they pre-cook all the veggies. Thai sweet tea was also well made. Deck sitting area has a nice view. Service was fast and attentive. read more

This is a small place with a little seating on a patio. So I am guessing it is mostly for a Togo type place for locals it if you want to walk down closer to the shore. I tried a Special Chicken Naam I think it was called and the peanut sauce was delicious. Glad I found this place. read more

Laan Xang Cafe - The view from the patio - Vietnamese Near Me - Belfast, Maine

My favorite restaurant in Belfast. Pad Se Ew is perfect and the fish steamed in a pocket is beyond perfect.

Awesome Thai food right in Belfast down by the water front. We've eaten here a number of times over the last 3 years and it's always delicious. This place is very busy in the summer, has limited seating both on the outdoor patio and inside. It's a small family run business and their food is great! All homemade so if you're looking for fast food try some place else. We had their crispy egg rolls, pad see ew with chicken and Lorb. Everything was fresh, hot and excellent. You won't be disappointed. read more

Ok I really want to support this business because their food is really quite good, however the last two time I've shown up at least 30 minutes before they close wanting a to go order I'm told it's too late and are too busy to make my food, I find this unacceptable . I hope they get a lot less busy soon , I'm unsure if I will go back I'm a little salty about it , the counter girl was a bit too happy to deny service to me read more

Great flavors, great service, large portions, takeout is packed thoughtfully. There's a newer Thai restaurant in town just up the road, but they're catering to those with smaller appetites and larger wallets. I only wish this place had indoor seating and/or resumed outdoor seating in the summer! read more

It's a small cute place for Thai and Liao food. Very tasty and unique. Highly recommend! read more

Laan Xang Cafe - Taro spring rolls, chive cakes, pad Thai and a Liao chicken dish - Vietnamese Near Me - Belfast, Maine

Chive dumplings are amazing!! Very friendly service. Edamame is also great. Highly recommend.

We stopped by for a quick lunch on travel from Acadia national park to NJ. Very happy with the decision to have lunch here. The vegetables in the dish is super super fresh, the sauce is delicious. It is rare to find a place serve the food in this high quality. The owner is from Lao and the food is authentic. We will mark this restaurant for our future trips to and from Acadia. read more

Consistently good experience very. First visit I had Tom Yum soup. Cleared up my sinuses pronto, highly recommended for that alone and the taste was in point! I have tried numerous dishes and am never disappointed. read more

The Tom Yum soup was very tasty. The broth is spicy were it will leave your lips tingling. Light veggies and a few pieces of chicken. Delicious I had the Asian Salad. Love simple meals that the flavor is allowed to shine by not adding too many sauces. The combination of cilantro, rice noodles and dried onions is just fabulous. The portion is huge. Very good. It's family owned and we were served by their friendly daughter. The view was spectacular overlooking the harbor. Wish we lived closer. read more

The food was delicious! Recommend the chive dumplings-doughy on the inside crisp on the outside. Our main dishes were also delicious (Thai basil and house special coconut red curry) which were very flavorful and just the right amount of spicy. The ambiance is very cute and family orientated (drawings from the owner's daughters on the wall add an adorable touch). The outdoor porch has a great view of the waterfront. While we would definitely return just for the food, the service is what really made the experience wonderful. The owner and her family were so sweet. We stayed and talked with them for quite a bit-they were so nice!! We learned that a number of their veggies come from their own farm. We will definitely return (most likely after the winter hehe). Would most certainly recommend ! read more

Whether you've been to Asia or just looking for great authentic food...this is the closest you'll get without actually being abroad. Laitian, Thai & Vietnamese cuisine right here in Belfast. If your not in a rush this would be a recommended stop, reason I say no in a rush because it is a small venue and they cook by order, so with the busy crowd you can expect a wait but I ensure you it will be well worth your time. I've only been here twice but both times have gotten the chive dumplings as an app, so rich in flavor and well cooked. Today for the entree I gambled and got the Sai-Ghock which is homemade sausages stuffed with ground pork, herbs and lime leafs. So glad I ordered this dish because you could tell the prep work that went into the Sai-Ghock took a lot of passion. Very well seasoned, and cooked enough to melt in your mouth with an amazing flavor bomb. Also came with steamed vegi's, definitely will come back here next time I'm in the area. Always a well earned treat read more

Great food, wonderful family and staff, fair prices. Don't expect fancy cutlery or a lot of tables and chairs. Do expect food made with care, with great flavors and decent portions, served cheerfully by people who care. read more

Super unique find in Maine! Love having sticky rice as an option for some entrees! The chive dumplings were delicious, although it may be a little too oily for some. There's no outdoor dining here during COVID but there were some nearby tables and seats my friends and I were able to find in some public areas to eat our food. read more

I went to Maine maybe around 6 years ago and when I went with my family to eat here for the first time it was super delicious. The fried rice was incredibly the best and I recommend ordering that if you're a first timer and don't really know anything about Thai or Viet food. The owners were super nice and great friends with my parents. I like how you can see the view of Belfast when you eat outdoors and get the nice breeze while you're eating but they also have seating indoors as well. I don't really like Maine that much but I'll definitely come back just for this restaurant. would def recommend if you're craving Thai food or just want to spice up your eating choice;)) read more

Absolutely wonderful Thai food, the best we've eaten in Maine! Great service, super friendly staff! I had the Drunken noodles with super fat noodle and it was fantastic. Husband had the red curry that was spicy and flavorful with fresh veggies! Overall just great! read more

Laan Xang Cafe - Drunken Noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Belfast, Maine

Not impressed at all!The food had no taste &anything that did have taste it was A greasy taste!It was so bad I actually called &complained.Now I understand why they have been in the same place for I think he told me 9 yrs&I had Neva heard of them! I just hope someone who has never experienced Thai doesn't start there BC they will think Thai food is gross! read more

Verrry good food. I recommend the mossoman yellow curry or spring rolls which are sooo good. Sometimes when I'm walking through town with a friend I will pop in and grab some spring rolls for a quick bite to eat, that's how good they are. read more

Wow. We drove an hour to eat some Asian food and we were rewarded justly! The outside dining is perfect. The server as busy as she could be and friendly and efficient! We ordered the spring rolls. Crisp hot with a bit of a creamy texture. Fabulous! Next came the drunken noodles and a red curry. Both had beautiful fresh vegetables and were cooked to perfection. The curry had the perfect kick without killing your tastebuds and the drunken noodles cooked just right. We will be back to roam this beautiful town and have another great meal here. read more

I loved finding this great Thai food in the heart of lobster country. Sitting outside in the evening having drunken noodles. Bliss.

I first started going here for the basil fried rice then I got my son addicted and my daughter followed as well! I LOVE the pineapple sauce with their egg rolls, favorite! The owners are warm and inviting. The atmosphere is awesome. I recommend Laan Xang to everyone! read more

I have thoroughly enjoyed many lunches and dinners in the lovely restaurant. It is ideal in the summer, when there is a patio with a fabulous view of the bay. The interior seating is quite limited, so it is generally better to get food to go in colder weather. They grow many of their own vegetables and have a nice selection of Thai and Laotian foods to choose from. read more

Just finished delicious pad see ew and wild boar basil. Absolutely my favorite restaurant in Belfast. I've been to Thailand a number of times and love Thai food. I'm so thankful this place is in Belfast. There are a few Thai places here and all are good, but this is our favorite. The patio overlooking the harbor, Laotian choices and authentic flavors make it the best. Pad Thai is on point, but don't limit yourself to the old standby. Everything we've tried is great. On a chilly day enjoy a pot of tea. I already want to go back! read more

Amazing views, food, and service! Our waitress was also great about checking in on us, extremely friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu - she gave us great recommendations based on some of the dietary restrictions in our party. I hope to visit again soon! read more

Wow what a great place to eat lunch on the deck..The food is fresh and crisp and amazing. The flavors where perfect in the drunken noodles. Fried rice could not have been better and the waitress was working her butt off, was all alone on a busy Friday buy was a true pro. read more

Delicious. Quality food. Small menu. 12 bucks for many different dishes. Fast and friendly service. Will definitely come here again. First visit was so good now I want to try everything else they serve. read more

We were visiting Belfast and decided to order enough food for our big extended family. The chicken and sirachi fried rice were great, the pad Thai was excellent and the kai ka prow was absolutely outstanding!They even threw in a free order of goyza. Wonderful food; we'll be back! read more

Ate here last week with my brother and niece. Sitting outside was very pleasant under the partial canopy. My brother and I loved the unique dishes and their delicious flavor. I got a mild chicken and peanut sauce, and he got a spicier pork dish. My niece isn't a big fan of Thai food, but she often orders Pad Thai. She didn't care much for the more pronounced fish sauce flavor of this particular Pad Thai, but I tried it and liked it pretty well. It is different, though. Overall, everything tasted very fresh and delicious. read more

Visiting Belfast and just got to-go from here. We were blown away. I don't usually write reviews, but the Sai-Ghock sausage absolutely blew my mind. Flavorful, comforting, with a perfectly crispy grilled skin. 100% will I eat here again. read more

Everything we had here was so good and authentic. The summer rolls were fresh and had the best dipping sauce. We had the Tom-Yum and the Chicken Raam...outstanding! Owners are friendly and welcoming. This will be a stop every time we are in Maine. read more
