Reviews for Vientiane Café in Philadelphia, PA
Great food, great service, options for all dietary restrictions. Minus one star because it?s pricey, even on my NYC income, but... sometimes it?s worth splurging. Wish they?d bring back their outdoor seating! Read more
Great tasting, interesting dishes. Our favourite: Naam salad with sour pork ($12+$3) - you make your own crispy rice wrap in a... salad leaf. Crispy spring rolls and fishcakes as you'd expect (pretty boring). Sticky Tofu in Tamarind was good. Inside notterribly atmospheric. Kitchen/service relatively slow but it was pretty busy (Thursday, end August). Read more
I had Pad Thai. It was very good, a generous amount of shrimps and crunchy vegetables with the noodles, well seasoned. It was a... pleasure to eat. Highly recommended. Read more
The place looks small from outside but it's kinda of spacious when you enter. They have a very different menu. We ordered... Banh-xeo(tofu). This is a first time I had tasted this dish and it was delicious and huge in portion. We also had fried tofu intamarind sauce. I was disappointed that they didn't have chicken wings. We also had spicy yellow curry and king soup withprawns. The portions are generous and presentation was cute. Read more
Great food and a large menu. Service was good and attentive, and the food came out quickly. The restaurant is more spacious than... it appears from the street. I knocked one star off because they're cash only. Read more
This restaurant is small and have a personal, intimate feel to it. The food is a amazing! Every dish we tried except for the... Beef Jerky was very tasteful???? I highly recommend you try the fish. If you're squeamish about having the head on the fish asmy Friend was, just remove it and cover.... The sauce the fish was served with was absolutely delicious...we dip all thevegetables in it, very flavorful. I will definitely return!!! Read more
The customer service, ambiance, and food are phenomenal. I felt all the happy joy joy feelings.. danced while I was eating, all... that jazz. Had the 'Angel shrimps' and 'Crispy duck spring rolls' as appetizers. The Pad Su Ew (wide noodles/shrimp) and PadThai (chicken/no carrots) for entrees. Warm rice pudding and banana tempura for dessert. Every.single.item. was delicious. Theygot packed around 1830-1900 on a Saturday night--the wait would've been worth it, though. Read more
Racist and disgraceful service. I dined here with my mom, and both of us are Black and out of all customers (all of which were... white) where were given our check the earliest and never asked if we wanted dessert, unlike the table with two white womensitting behind us. This is why I left a $10 tip on an $80 bill. Never again would I come here. Read more
