Yelp.com Review - by L W.

4.0 of 5 stars. A solid, clean Lao-Thai BYOB just outside of University City on Baltimore Ave. Street parking was not a problem. Staff was friendly and service was good. I would've liked my Panang curry a bit...

4.0 of 5 stars. I love Vientiane and all that it manages to hook up food and atmosphere wise. But as much as I want to give it 5 stars, it always manages to have that one crucial snag in service that keeps it from...

5.0 of 5 stars. This is my favorite West Philly restaurant, hands down. I usually order the pad thai or the pad kee mao (both with tofu); the latter in particular is excellent. Sometimes, I order an appetizer, too;...

Yelp.com Review - by Clea M.

4.0 of 5 stars. This is probably the best Thai food I've had, ever. That might not be saying much, since I've only tried a handful of places, but from my two experiences dining here, there really isn't much I...

4.0 of 5 stars. I thought the food here was good, but not outstanding. The curry was barely spicy--perhaps we should have explicitly spelled it out. But beyond this, it was flavorful but not really amazing or...

3.0 of 5 stars. Vientiane is a cozy little place that's BYOB, with friendly service and a solid selection of Laotian-Thai staples--e.g. curries, pad thai, laab (or larb, depending on where you're from) etc. No more,...

4.0 of 5 stars. This is a very cozy and neigborhoody restaurant a little bit out of the way from where most Penn students live, but it's still a great place to get nicely prepared Laotian and Thai food. The...

Vientiane Cafe by Carole B. at InsiderPages

Note the spelling: It's spelled Vientiane, not Vientaine as automatically printed by Insider. Vientiane, a Laotian/Thai restaurant, began many years ago in the backyard of its owner and since has expanded into...
