First time ordering, and what a great experience! I ordered directly through the website, and the…read moreprocess was easy. My order was accurate, the estimated preparation and delivery times were right on point, and I even earned points for ordering directly through the restaurant. I was especially impressed by the freshness and variety of the vegetables, the vegan option, and how beautifully everything was presented and packaged. And the flavor of the broth? Oh my goodness! I'm not a big soup person, but I may have been converted. Definitely looking forward to ordering again!

Great little place. We stumbled upon this place while walking towards Italian Market…read more They have good broth for Phó. The specials are a nice touch to go outside the norm. Very creative. The service was nice and friendly. The place is clean.

It comes with a soft shelled crab. The crab was crunchy and had just the right amount of seasoning. The rice was seasoned very well. I asked for the spicy chili sauce on the side, but I really didn't need it. The crab meat was cooked throughout, and I could taste it with every fork full. It's some of the best fried rice I've had. You definitely should try it. 5/5. Til we eat again.....

The floors were really sticky for some reason. The food was fine, nothing stood out to us but nothing was bad.

I got the Hakka chicken noodles (medium spice) and a mango lassi to go. I was the only one in there…read moreand it still took about 15 mins to get the noodles, but when my order was ready, I was handed a very full container of noodles. The lassi was delicious, and the noodles were perfectly spiced. I don't have a lot of experience with Nepalese food, but I would be willing to go back to try the momos! This is definitely a to-go spot, very casual. I don't think the owners were expecting many people in the restaurant so the tables weren't service ready until multiple parties walked in. This is probably just the result of a new restaurant gaining its legs so I wouldn't hold it against them!

Maybe I should have ordered what this restaurant specializes in…read more I stopped in with 3 of my co-workers around lunchtime after I heard it recently opened. I fully understand a 15-25 minute wait especially on a weekday, but we waited much longer than that. There was one person on the register and one in the back cooking. There's seating available for those that wish to dine in. Some cooking/beverage products were in the corners. I believe those items should have been stored away from the customer's view. I placed an order for the Honey Gobi Garlic, which is fried cauliflower in a sweet garlic sauce and French fries. Halfway through my wait, I was told that the fries could not be made because their machine was broken. That didn't bother me and I took it as a sign that I didn't need the fries. Instead, I asked for a refund and the gentleman refunded me. Unfortunately, the Honey Gobi Garlic left much to be desired. The cauliflower was chewy and at the bottom of the container it tasted like hallow pieces of breading with sauce. I chose this appetizer because I'm not a fan of spice. It wasn't spicy, but the cauliflower was not prominent enough. Some small kinks to be ironed out for sure. Service needs improvement and they may need to hire more staff to keep up with the demand.

Vientiane Bistro is one of my top spots for Lao cuisine - I've been coming here for years…read more Their papaya salad[1] is a must. A lovely rendition, it's fresh, with a punchy fish sauce. At two peppers, it'll burn your taste buds off! If you must, ask to reduce the pepper level. Or, just get a Thai green iced tea - it's refreshing and will offset that spice kick. Budget conscious? Get their curry rice special, only $12 (as of now) and comes with a sizable crunchy chicken haunch, yellow curry rice, and steamed veggies, with a ginger habanero sauce that's more savory than spicy. While you're there, grab a bottle of Sunny's homemade chili oil. It comes in spicy and EXTRA spicy. Goes on anything: I sprinkle it on nacho chips and salads as a replacement for dressing. Credit accepted. Street parking. Convenient to the SEPTA L Huntingdon stop. Plenty of seating, so bring friends and family. Call ahead if you have a particularly large party. [1] My first choice for papaya salad in Philly? Usually the papaya salad lady at FDR Park - but Vientiane saves me from making that trip! Yum.

Stopped by for dinner. Very cozy little spot with friendly service…read more We ordered the papaya salad, summer rolls, drunken noodle, and khaopoon soup. The papaya salad was probably the best I've ever had. For real. Very well balanced- fresh, savoring, spicy, sour. The level 3 spice had us both sweating lol Summer rolls were fresh although slightly under filled. The sauces it came with were delicious. This is the first time I've ever had homemade Thai chili sauce! Drunken noodle was yummy with a good ratio of noodle to vegetable. Noodles were cooked well. I'm used to this dish coming spicy but this one wasn't. Khaopoon soup: this was our first time having this dish. It was very delicious- flavors of coconut, curry, lime, savoryness. This soup is perfect for a cold day. My only criticism is that the rice noodles were slightly over cooked and mushy. I see the vision tho We will definitely be coming back!

I really enjoy seeing all the little plates of side dishes before dumping it all into my soup. My fave soup based to get are the classic and the golden sour with beef! Be careful of the hot bowl! There are lots of warnings around but they're quite worn out so you may miss it.

This is my third or fourth time-- always a good meal, especially during these winter months…read more First off: restaurant is fairly small, and pretty popular during peak dining times (ex. weekend dinners), so be prepared to wait, especially with a larger group. Luckily on a Monday evening, things were pretty sparse and our large group was able to be fully seated on a rolling basis as people arrived. Food was delicious! I've only ever gotten the classics, but this time I got the Szechuan Pepper Fish. Really good, and I'd recommend, especially if you're into the numbing spice! The servers are friendly and offer help to any newcomers (or people that seem like they are newcomers) on how to properly combine the ingredients provided. I ordered some appetizers, but honestly next time I'd just get the soup on its own. It's good enough as is, and you'll be filled up.

It was lacking flavors, so nothing really stood out. It did its job of filling up our stomachs. The fish maw soup is good though if you are looking for something light.

Here's the situation: i lived close to this cafe for a few years and consistently ordered their…read morevegetable spring rolls for takeout. They are the best spring rolls ever. I haven't had the chance to go in person until just recently. I'm so happy I did. Vegetable spring rolls: Comes with two, if you order takeout, they are whole. If you dine in, they are cut into four. Comes with a little sauce that's very good. No mushrooms in the spring rolls which I prefer. Very crispy. I am a big spring roll person and order them everywhere and I am confident these are the best. I used to order two orders and just have those as my dinner. Panang Curry: I don't eat meat so I just got veggies in it. Perfect spice level, good amount of veggies. I loved it. Instead of getting the side of rice that it comes with I swapped the rice for the side of steamed noodles which was great. Loved the pineapple. Peanut Sauce: Sweet, would be very good at a higher spice level. Great amount of veggies and fun little peanut toppings as garnish. Lovely Duck Creamy Special: my dad ordered this, he loved it. Even mentioned that it's a shame he got that the first time because now he won't want to try anything else knowing how good that is. I tried the sauce, I think it's a red curry sauce, it's very good and I would probably get that sauce curry next time. it's a little saltier than the panang which I liked. He can handle spice very well and he got a three to start, but will probably get a 5 next time. Smile Calamari (appetizer): My dad ordered this, he said it was good but didn't have any tentacles and prefers those on calamari apparently. He will probably try another appetizer next time. Inside is small but very cute and clean. The lady who served us was very helpful and kind. Food also came out very quick for three people, start to finish took 50 minutes and we weren't rushed or shoved out. Just efficient service. Everything we ordered came out to $90 before tip for three people, but note that me and my sister are vegetarian, and we find that makes things cheaper. Thai iced tea is a must. I'm looking forward to trying their vegetable soup, vegetable dumplings, and one of their fried rices.
