The two daughters took over the business from their parents who opened Vientiane in 2001. It's wonderful to see family owned businesses stay in the family! We even learned more about Laos culture with trivia :) We were offered wine, Lao beer, Thai tea, or iced coffee. I had a white wine and Thai tea. It was my first time to try Thai Tea and I loved it! It's sweet, but delicious. I enjoyed everything I tried! From the apps, I loved their spring roll with sweet chili sauce! Their tofu pad tai was to die for. I would order that for dinner any day! I chose chicken for my Pho and the flavor overall was delicious. For dessert, we got mango sticky rice which was so good! Overall, Vientiane is a great authentic local Laotian restaurant! When you walk in, you can just tell the food is going to be amazing. I will definitely go back soon with more friends and family.

I stopped at An Ox Cafe late at night with my son while traveling through Milwaukee and heading…read moreback to the hotel. From the outside, the place looked lively and entertaining, largely because there was an active cornhole tournament happening. I can honestly say I've never seen that many self-proclaimed cornhole enthusiasts gathered in one place before, so it definitely had a unique atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food experience was inconsistent at best. The cucumber salad was completely inedible. The sausage entrée had multiple hard bits throughout that felt like biting into popcorn kernels, which made it difficult to enjoy. The rice served on the side was noticeably dried out and tasted like it had been sitting for quite a while. To top things off, the restaurant automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill. If you're heavily into cornhole tournaments and the social scene that comes with them, this may be your kind of place. If you're going primarily for the food, expectations should probably be adjusted accordingly.

The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon, so the greeter gave us some menus and let us know we could order and he'd find a table for us ASAP. We got to the counter and the cashier told us it would be a 45 minute wait. We accepted this and ordered anyway. We picked a curry, a noodle dish, and a Thai beer each. The cashier was very friendly. The original greeter found us a table almost immediately after we paid and mentioned the beer is especially nice over ice, so we took his recommendation. Beers came quickly, but food did take at least a half hour, as the cashier mentioned. Table and dining room were clean and nicely decorated with warm lighting and relaxing music. Bathrooms were also clean. Food was very good and flavorful. The portions were decent. We were full, ate most of our dishes, and didn't take anything home. The original greeter came back and checked on us while we were eating. Service was fantastic throughout the experience. The food was pricey, but aligns with other Thai restaurant prices in the area. Dishes were around $20. The whole experience was worth it. We will be returning!

I got the 10/10 spice level and they delievered. I used to go to a place called Vientiane (now closed) in Madison frequently, maybe 10 years ago, and this is the only place that is almost as good as that place was.

Still on the hunt for the best drunken noodles in Wisconsin. Not here. Pho Cleared the plate. I love that they're staying traditional and didn't add sugar. So many pho places are adding sugar now and the broth is sweet. Here, it was good. But it wasn't the traditional Vietnamese pho, and there were no meat choices to be made - it just comes standard with beef and meatballs. I could do without the meatballs.

The minute we walked in, a man sitting next to the hostess--who appeared to be part of the restaurant, not a customer--just stared at us. No greeting, no smile... just staring. The hostess also seemed a bit confused when we walked in. She asked if we had reservations; we said no. Then she asked if a high-top table was fine, as if the restaurant were packed. We agreed, assuming there would be a long wait for a regular table. But as she led us over, there were plenty of regular tables available. So right off the bat, the vibe wasn't particularly welcoming. As for the service, the waitress did a great job with the welcome and checked on us at a perfect pace. We also liked the decor--plenty of cute design elements that would make for great photos and draw people in. The menu was well done too: not overwhelming, just the right amount of variety in each category. Honestly, this part is why I gave the place more stars than I probably should have. As for the food, it was just okay for us--though that may have been due to what we ordered. There were only two of us, and we got three dishes: shrimp fried rice, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. We thought that would give us a good variety. The food had good flavor, but all three dishes tasted very similar. If you try these same dishes elsewhere, the flavors are usually more distinct. I do wish we had tried more of the appetizers and drinks--maybe that would have changed our rating a bit.

I would have liked the curry more without it. If you want to dine-in, it's a buffet only, but it looked really good, and especially if you aren't sure that you'll like Thai, Vietnamese and Laotian foods. Regarding parking for those with that anxiety, it ca be tricky. It's on a corner, across from a very popular liquor store. I suggest, if possible, coming in North Ave, heading EAST, and parking across the street from it. There's always parking on the side of North Ave. There is also parking on North 60th, but expect to walk a block or two. Good neighborhood though! Go try to this family owned business!
