My family has had the privilege of going to this wonderful restaurant a couple of times a month (or more) since it opened. The food is exceptional--delicious, fresh, and creatively prepared and served in very large portions with a lot of protein. The owner is on top of things and makes sure the meals are perfect; he will cook whatever a guest wants from ingredients on hand. The staff are all attentive and kind. The cost is remarkably reasonable for meals of this extraordinary quality. The restaurant is spotless and the atmosphere is always very pleasant--Vientiane is definitely one of my favorite restaurants of all time and I am grateful it is in Torrington! read more

Haven't stopped here in a minute and I'm so happy we did Highly recommend shrimps in a blanket as an appetizer- I'd even get two orders because they're so good. I ordered chicken pad see ew. This restaurant makes THE best. The flavor is out of this world and the chicken is cooked to perfection My husband tried the Wonton Pad Thai special and really liked it; we weren't expecting tofu in it but my husband is notorious for not reading lol It was a great, quiet lunch and very enjoyable read more

Vientiane Thai Cuisine - Pad See Ew Wonton Pad Thai Special - Thai Near Me - Torrington, Connecticut

Initially our first time at this hole in the wall spot was great!! I loved the authentic flavors of the coconut soup I shared with my mom. My main was drunken noodles which were great and my dad got the special Pad Thai which had fried wontons- super yummy! What killed the experience was the food poisoning my mom and I had afterwards :( must have been the coconut soup (with seafood added) as my dad didn't not try that and he was fine. Chalking it up to bad luck because otherwise was good.... Still adverse to Thai food since then. read more

Vientiane Thai Cuisine - Drunken Noodles - Thai Near Me - Torrington, Connecticut

I've been here many, many times, and I can't believe I haven't written a review on them yet. All the workers there are so nice and sweet, I enjoy coming here, the place is always so clean and very well-kept. The ambiance is Thai without being in your face about it. The subtle Asian touches throughout the restaurant give it a nice classy feel when you enter. To me, this is the hidden Gem of Torrington. Being featured in a Litchfield Magazine has given this amazing place the notoriety it deserves. My date and I are always greeted very warmly and immediately without ever waiting and we get to pick which seats we'd like. The restaurant is BYOB, and there's a liquor store conveniently pretty much next door. They bring wine glasses, cups of ice, anything you could need, they'll have and all you have to do is just ask politely. The appetizers are all so very good, my favorites are the Fresh Spring Rolls, Fried Spring Rolls, Chicken Satay, and Crab Rangoons. Everything tastes so freshly homemade and just bursting with flavors. The Fresh Spring Rolls have pork and shrimp in them with the perfect ratio of rice noodles and lettuce inside giving the perfect textures of soft, chewy, the crispness of the veggies. The dipping sauce is like a sweet chili sauce and together they taste amazing. The Fried Spring Rolls are also delicious, fried to golden perfection, they come hot, and it is so hard to wait to eat them. I love these rolls because they are so crispy and crunchy, the filling is light and flavorful without being overwhelmed by cabbage like you would get from a Chinese restaurant. The Chicken Satay is just beautiful, They are grilled to perfection as you can see from the grill marks, I love that slight char, it gives it a more authentic Thai flavor for sure. They come with two dipping sauces and both are delicious and a must try of both. One is cucumber with a little bit of spice and sweetness and the other is a peanut butter-based sauce. The Crab Rangoons are so good here. I feel like they have more flavor here than anywhere else. They taste more cheesy with a burst of umami flavors. For my Entree, I almost always get the Pad See Eww Beef. I've had this dish from many places but this particular one stands out. The sauce they use gives it a deeper and richer flavor than anywhere else. And the noodles it's almost like they must make them there because they taste so fresh and have that perfect firm softness, with a slight chew that delights my tastebuds oh so very much. The Pho here is a must-try if you are a lover of Pho. The flavors in it are so much more pronounced than in other places that I have been. The broth has that sweet, salty, and savory umami flavor that marries together so well in this dish. The perfect amount of noodles to meat ratio. The serving is more than enough to make sure you leave with a very full belly if you can eat it all. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back for more! read more

Food was excellent! Three main dishes & two appetizers. Spicy eggplant and Laos Cornish hen. The seasoning was delicious!

MY favorite Thai Place in the state! Great food,great service! Do yourself a favor and stop in!!

The service was HORRENDOUS!! I walk in and there was no one to greet me. I walked around the restaurant and to no avail. So I walked myself to the restroom. When I came out, I went by the entrance to wait to be greeted. Still nothing!! I actually had to walk up to the register to grab someone's attention! We were a party of 4. With good customer service, everyone's main dish should all come out together. Everyone in my group received their main dish but me. My party was almost done with their main dishes and my main dish still did not come out!! While I am annoyingly waiting for my main course, a server comes to our table to bring me soup. I did not order soup!! A server finally comes to me just to bring me something I did not order! By the time my main dish came out, my entire table was done with their meals! And NOT ONCE did anyone ever come back to our table to check how we were doing or if we needed anything else. Then we get our bill. With good customer service, a server should come back to our table to collect the payment. We were waiting so darn long, I got up and walked to the register yet AGAIN, and handed them the bill. I should NOT have to do that! Maybe that entire staff was having a bad day but I shall NEVER return to this God awful establishment!! I left a less than a desirable tip and also left a message on my bill. I tip based on service and I WAS NOT satisfied with the service here hence the insulting tip I left! read more

Outstanding! Thai is my favorite cuisine and they do a great job. I need to try the drunken noodles next time. They look amazing. The Tom Yum Gai had the expected mushrooms, scallions, and coriander and the broth was perfect. They loaded it with local vegetables. Tomato, onion, sweet pepper strips, even carrots (?) not authentic but I liked the additions. Their homemade thai sausage was excellent. It came with broccoli and more local peppers and carrots. Their hot chili sauce was good. I love sticky rice and theirs did not disappoint. I will definitely return. Highly recommended. read more

HORRIBLE PLACE. Ordered takeout and waited inside the restaurant for over an hour with a hungry three year old while we were told every 10 minutes that they were wrapping up my food. I told them I wanted a refund and they told me to contact grubhub then told grubhub that they wouldn't refund me. I watched four other people come and go with orders placed after mine. This place should be shut down. read more

Wowwwww the food is delicious! We stumbled upon this Thai/Lao restaurant on our way to the Berkshires from NYC. It is at par to authentic restaurants in the city. The portion is good and is well balanced with meat and vegetables! There is a grocery shop in this plaza which makes this a great stop for road trip. Will definitely come back! read more

Vienthiane has been consistently great for as long as I can remember. I've loved many things on the many but I seriously think the Panang Duck is the best meal I've eaten in Torrington. The staff are super friendly and will accommodate your needs depending on spice tolerance, etc. read more

Cute place with great service. If you're looking for authentic Thai food, it is not. We came for lunch and had the fried pork spring rolls, pad Thai and drunken noodles. Both noodle dishes were pretty salty and each were very saucy. Pad Thai and drunken noodles in Thailand do not have sauce. read more

For our mail meals 2 of us got the Asian salad & 1 got fried jasmine rice with chicken. The salads were large and delicious. The dressing was so tasty, perfect with the contents of the salad.

This place is a hidden gem! Clean, fast service, and excellent food. Very generous servings of the most delicious, aromatic, richly seasoned Thai food with such a wide variety of choices.

The Thai iced tea is huge and refreshing with soft bubbles. The Laotian Cornish hen is delicately grilled and softly curried. The tamarind duck is crispy, sweet, and juicy. The mango coconut sticky rice is such an incredible delicacy. We will definitely be returning as there were so many more dishes we wanted to try! You MUST try this place! read more

We came to Torrington to see the Nutcracker ballet at The Warner Theater. I asked a foodie friend who lives in Torrington for lunch suggestions and Vientiane was at the top of her list. They offer several flavors of bubble tea, which I had never tried before. I ordered the coconut bubble tea and I loved it. We had the shrimp in a blanket for an app, and they were great. My fiancé had the wonton pad Thai and it was delicious. I had Massamun curry with shrimp and sticky rice. Delicious. Attentive service. Highly recommend! read more

#droolclub SO delicious, food is phenomenal and consistent. Loved the curry puffs, house salad, pad tai, chicken satay, and curry fried rice. Would be a 5 star if the estimated time for pick up was accurate. It usually isn't ready when we arrive and we have to wait but the food is so good, we don't care. #worthit read more
