Cheap and really good restaurant

This restaurant is really (around 40k a dish), very good and has a very relaxing atmosphere. We tried the bo bun, which was delicious (with lots of herbs!), and the pad lao, for a total of 75k.
The only downside was that the pad lao came with chicken, even though I asked it vegetarian: make sure you insist when you order!

Pros: Inexpensive, Relaxing atmosphere, The bo bun

Cons: Wrong order

Leider nur die Frühlingsrollen gut

Auf die vielen guten Bewertungen hin sind wir zu dem Restaurant gegangen. Leider haben uns nur die frischen Frühlingsrollen überzeugt, die Hauptgerichte waren leider total unspektakulär. Haben nicht schlecht geschmeckt, aber dabei blieb es auch. Hatten auch ein Curry bestellt, was wir bekommen haben war aber nicht wirklich eins? Sehr seltsam. Für Veganer eher schwierig, da fast alle Gerichte mit Ei sind.

Pros: Günstig, Fresh Spring Rolls waren mega lecker

Cons: Hauptspeisen haben leider sehr Pfad geschmeckt, Curry hatte nicht wirklich was mit Curry zu tun?, Bei fast allem Ei drin, für Veganer schwierig

Good for an Omni restaurant

Had the vegetarian fried rice. Pretty basic but quite a few options on the menu if you’re eating with someone else who eats meat.

Pros: Cheap, Lots of tofu

Have the spring rolls!!!

We came for lunch and dinner on seperate days. A chill restaurant with quite many options. We had one veg coconut red curry and one noodle soup as well as the fresh spring rolls with a lovely dipping sauce.
Everything was tasty but especially the springrolls! We will go back tonight only for them

Well priced, delicious food

Well priced, nice tasting food! Try the fresh spring rolls to compliment your dish! Lovely service too, despite some pushy patrons this day.

Veganizeable!

Best food I had so far in Laos!
Very good bor boun, just ask for vegetarian and without egg (I don’t think there would be egg, but I just always say it)! Fresh spring rolls are also very delicious.

Pros: Veganizeable dishes , Fresh, delicious, cheap , Staff speaks English

Cons: Doesn’t say what is vegan/vegetarian on the menu

Nice little place close to Watxienthong temple

We had the spring rolls which were delicious and served with a big basket of lettuce/mint/coriander/dill so you could build your own veggie rolls. We also had the fried rice without meat and the vegetables.

Caution: specify vegan

Their fried spring rolls contain egg meaning that the Bo Bun is not vegan unless you specify fresh spring rolls. The taste and prices are great though!

Best spring rolls!!

If you go here PLEASE order the fried spring rolls - you roll them up with salad, fresh herbs and dipping sauce. The fresh spring rolls were the best I have had in quite some time! Cannot say much about the other items, would order the same every time!

Good food at very reasonable prices

We had the fresh spring rolls minus the pork, which were delicious. Their Bo Bun with tofu switched for meat options was also super tasty. Curry was decent. Would not recommend their vermicelli salad - which was basically rice noodles swimming in a pool of overly sweet chili sauce.

Great food!

Most of the items can be made vegan and substitute meat to tofu. We ordered Lao salad, Phad Thai, and the crispy river weed, which were all excellent! We also ordered the pre made spring rolls, which didn't have much in them but the sauce was good. For dessert we got chocolate milk shake with coconut milk that was refreshing.

Cheap prices (all this goodies for 92k)
Great value for the money!

Laos goes vegan

100% Lao flavours with majority of dishes able to be made vegan...all delicious and plentiful with great prices to match. Great central and peaceful location on peninsula. Lovely Lao owner understands vegan and is extremely accommodating

Pros: 80% veganizable! Open from brunch to dinner.

Cons: So popular you may have to wait for a table

Good, cheap food! Would recommend.

Me and a friend shared the fried eggplant and pad thai which was just 17k kip each which is very cheap, especially for a place in town. I also had a mango smoothie (ordered with coconut milk) which was amazing and served with a big metal straw.

Pros: Drinks served with metal straws , Cheap , Good location near the centre

Cons: Not loads of vegan options

Good cheap food

I had the fresh spring rolls and they were delicious. The portion size was large enough for lunch. Some of my friends tried other dishes and loved them. Kept going back to this cafe during my stay. It can get a bit busy during lunch. Staff understands vegetarianism. I would definitely recommend this place.

Pros: Tasty vegan food, Inexpensive , Good staff

Cons: Need to ask staff for vegan options

nice coffee, food okay

A nice place to sit for while and have a good cappuccino. Tried some vegan options. It was cheap and the staff was nice. The food didn't taste very special, you have to pay maybe a bit more for better food

Cheap and ok

Went here because it was close to our accomodation even though there weren't any reviews yet on Happy Cow. According to the waitress most of the food on the menu could be made vegetarian. We ordered the stir-fried vegetables and the stir-fried eggplant, both good and big portions, but nothing really special. Good prices.

Pros: Cheap, Most dishes on menu can be made vegetarian/vegan

Cons: Vegetarian/vegan options not marked on menu
