The 26 best noodle spots in Luang Prabang

Nice little shop, need to wait for lunch peak hour. Only one kind of noodle, with combination of pork and egg, then big/small size, very simple choice. Soup taste is pretty good though it looks not that clear; the noodle is soft, smooth. Spicy seasoning is pretty nice and the little lemon add a nice fresh to the noodle. Egg is very fresh, pork a bit too hard to bite. Worth to take a try for Lao's food.

Yummy noodles. The noodles are similar to the popular mouse-tail noodles but softer. The chilli paste is hot so add sparingly. Great price and the servings fill the stomach well.

It is fifty-fifty. The price is very cheap, but the quantity of noodles is small and a little salty. The restaurant is adjacent to the main road so it is easy to find. The menu is explained in several languages, making ordering easy. You can try khao bbiyak (Lao noodle) with a pork, beef and egg. Also there is khao khop (fried sticky rice).

Comfort food for Asians. Menu is simple, 3 choices. There are Japanese and Korean menus, too. This bowls was only 14k. Some local people were eating here when I came 12pm, no tourists.

Authentic, cheap and delicious. As with most good local food places in SE Asia, the menu is limited. Noodles with pork, egg, or pork and egg. Enough English is spoken there to get by, and the owners are very friendly. Cannot recommend enough.

A gem off the beaten path. Even with google, it took us quite a walk to find it, but it was worth it. We had the pork with egg for 14000 kip, and the broth was nice, enhanced by the fried garlic. The short noodles were chewy, and you are given taugeh shoots and lime to top off the dish. We were the only tourists there for lunch.

Delicious and cheap breakfast noodles, all freshly made on the day. Well worth stopping by early to get an authentic Laos breakfast. Help yourself to the free rice cakes.

Strolling around and try the sticky rice, bamboo shot local curry, mixed vegetables salad Luang Prabang recipe is amazing for me. Seeing way of folk life and chit chat to them is such a lovely.

If you want a real taste of local life in Luang Prabang, you’ve got to check out the Morning Market. We went super early—around 7am—and it was the perfect way to jump-start the day. You’ll see everything from fresh produce to surprises you definitely don’t see back home (we spotted some Sapa fish split wide open and even a skinned weasel…wild stuff!).It’s mostly for locals, so you get that authentic vibe—lots of sights, smells, and a few things that will totally throw you off in a good way. We picked up some coffee and wandered the stalls for a while, and honestly, it’s a must if you want to see the real rhythm of Luang Prabang. Just bring your curiosity (and maybe skip breakfast until you get here)!

Must see if you’ve never been to a wet market without the odors of a standard wet market. With cooked food, vegetables, fruit, to freshly caught fish/birds and larvae, this is a great way to see how the locals do their shopping. Oct 2024

Very local market. Interesting to see how the local people shop for food and necessities. It is open dairy. If you have a weak stomach, pass this by.

Loved it!! We went around 6am and it was mostly locals buying fruits and vegetables. There are some prepared foods, and the spring roll we got was SO delicious. Lots of raw meats and fresh produce. Some curries, fried foods, street meat, etc. Overall a big vibe, would recommend.

So may various foods and stuffs here. you can enjoyed with the local market.

Nice market to visit after the Alms ceremony. Fresh fish, meats, fruits, spices, teas and more. A nice walk, nice vibrant atmosphere and then we stopped at a coffee shop and enjoyed the view.

food was authentic and tasted very good, we took the bamboo soup and a set sharing menu for two of us, was all delicious. nice ambiance, and excellent service. We liked a lot the bamboo chips and the laolao rice whisky, we tried three flavors! The chilly one is great! Haha we like spicy. We preferred the table inside because there was not much to see and enjoy along the street. I definitely recommend this place. And we would come back to try also other dishes too.

We went for lunch, wanted to try a little bit of everything so went with a tasting menu - some of it really good, some not for my taste. Service was excellent and the tamarind drink was definitely interesting. We liked the mango sticky rice with black rice the best

We had a fantastic evening at Tamarind Restaurant, where we chose to try the vegan tasting menu. It was an excellent decision. The dishes were all incredibly fresh and vibrant, and it was clear that each one had been prepared with great care and attention to detail. The generous use of fresh, local herbs made every bite a delight. The entire experience was enhanced by the wonderful service. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each dish and its traditional Laotian context. This guidance added an authentic layer to the meal, showing us not just what to eat, but how to eat it. Tamarind offers a perfect blend of authentic Laotian cuisine, high-quality ingredients, and outstanding service. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable meal in Luang Prabang.

I like this restaurant and I came here 3 times during visiting Luang Prabang. The restaurant serve the traditional Laotian foods and very unique. Full of favourites and very tasty. We ordered Bamboo soup and Som moo sour pork and it was fantastic 😋 highly recommend. The only dish that I would avoided is Stir fried Basil leaf with Frog 🐸 if you don't eat a whole Frog. It was not just a Frog's legs but the whole body of Frog's with skin. The staff was so friendly and he said Laos people eat the whole Frog. We came again to try another dishes and the staff gave us a house dessert.

The best restaurant we visited in Luang Prabang! All the food and drink we tried (we ordered the vegan set) was absolutely delicious, an explosion of different flavours and really big portions. The service was super attentive, explained all the dishes and how to eat them. We got the impression that they really cared about bringing Laotian food culture to tourists. We also booked a cooking class with them which was a fantastic experience as well! Can only recommend❤️

If you truly want to experience authentic Lao foods and if you aren’t afraid of unusual flavors and ingredients and textures, try Tamarind. I love to experiment and explore all things new in every country I visit, so I sought out Tamarind. Be brave! Try it yourself.

Was recommended to try this place for Lao food. Food was for the most part very palatable and earthy - good use of local produce. Got the tasting platter, buffalo laap. Complimentary bamboo chips were very interesting.

The market is nice and clean. Nobody was forcing me to buy stuff from them. So even if i am just looking they are ok with that. Which is the best thing trust me. Mostly there are crafts and local things you can buy from here. A good place to spend your evenings. Lots of cafes and bars to enjoy dinner

Nice night market. Will take you around 10-15 minutes to get through it. There is a wide range of products in the market, at the end there's a food court with different types of food 🙂 Locals do not pressure you as much as other places to buy their products.

Certainly! The Luang Prabang Night Market is one of the highlights of any visit to this charming UNESCO town. Every evening, the main street transforms into a lively and colorful walking street filled with hundreds of stalls selling handcrafted goods, delicious local food, and unique souvenirs. What makes this market special is its laid-back atmosphere and strong focus on local culture. Many of the vendors are artisans from nearby villages, offering beautiful handwoven textiles, traditional wood carvings, and silver jewelry. It’s a great place to find authentic Lao crafts while supporting local communities. The food section is a real treat — tucked away in a side alley, you’ll find an array of affordable and tasty Lao dishes like grilled meats, noodle soups, fresh spring rolls, and tropical fruit smoothies. Everything is cooked fresh, and the variety is impressive. The market is well-organized, clean, and easy to walk through. It’s not overwhelming like some markets in Southeast Asia, which makes the experience more enjoyable. Prices are reasonable, and friendly bargaining is welcomed. Overall, the Luang Prabang Night Market is more than just a place to shop — it’s a vibrant cultural experience. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift, trying street food, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, this market captures the soul of Luang Prabang beautifully. Highly recommended for: ✔️ Cultural lovers ✔️ Foodies ✔️ Anyone who enjoys browsing local markets in a relaxed, friendly setting

Plenty of food options and lots of cute stalls to explore. Some items in the crafts market may feel a bit overpriced, but considering the craftsmanship and effort from local artisans, it feels fair and well worth supporting.

I liked the night market visually, nicely lit and quite long. I would have appreciated the food the most, because the products did not impress me much. T-shirts with elephant outfits and small wallets for documents. But overall a nice atmosphere. Anyone who visits this city should take a walk here

Very lively and there are plenty of stuff to see, buy and eat. The beautiful lighting of a temple. Friendly vendors and they were not pushy!

Great place to wander around. Lots of handicrafts, clothing, souvenirs made from bomb metal, and food options on side streets. Most sellers speak English and Chinese

The music and atmosphere was very nice and suited the vibe of the restaurant. The portion was large, and there was more food than we imagined. The food was delicious and affordable compared to the quality being offered.

Popolo Pizza is truly a must-visit in Luang Prabang! The pizzas are absolutely delicious — perfectly baked with a crispy crust and full of flavor. The ingredients taste fresh and high quality, and every bite feels authentic. Great Local beer in cheap price. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal even a bit hot and sweaty while a lunch. The staff are friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the best restaurants in town — highly recommended!

Pad Kaprao pizza was delicious. Should have asked for crispier crust but not sure if they could have accommodated because of the toppings. Place has a great vibe and good music. Lots of attentive staff.

Really good pizzas, loaded nachos and nice iced coffee and good value. Waitress spoke good English, receipt was in Lao Kip, USD, Euro and Thai Baht which was useful. Nice atmosphere too, I recommend it and will definitely go back again.

All the dishes we ordered were absolutely amazing. It was great to find high quality food and ingredients in Luang Prabang. Pizza was unique, pasta was amazing. Thanks for the great fun.

First time coming here, and the Honolulu pizza was the best I’ve ever tasted. However, the garlic bread which was kind of pricey compared to other places I’ve been to in the capital, was disappointing. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be this burnt or not, but it felt like eating straight charcoal. It’s really not at a level that should be served. Might visit again for the pizza, but definitely not for the bread.

Good food, great ambience, cool and interior and great location. The pizza as well worth trying if you’re sick of noodles.

Ate at this place many times, food was really good and cheap (came out pretty fast). Most dishes are 40.000 Crispy pork with steam rice Fried spaghetti with chicken Noodle soup with chicken/crispy pork There were many reviews about the "Khao Soy" but for me it had no taste.

1. This is a great spot for solo diners looking for a quick meal. They offer many single-serving meal options, and the few stir-fried dishes they have are essentially made from the side dishes of the set meals. So, don't expect much in terms of flavor. It's a solid, no-frills fast food restaurant. 2. As it's a fast food place, they prepare fried rice in large batches, which often results in it being a bit too wet. From a fried rice perspective, it doesn't quite meet the mark, but from a fast food standpoint, it's acceptable. On the plus side, I quite enjoy their braised pig’s feet—cooked just right, not too tough or greasy. The portions are small but reasonable for the price. 3. The restaurant is very popular with both locals and tourists, so service can be a bit chaotic. You may need to find a table yourself and get the staff’s attention, otherwise, you might end up waiting a while.

I read some good reviews from rednote so decided to give it a try. The restaurant was packed with people when we got there. We were lucky to get a table soon after. The menu is pretty standard with some basic noodles and dishes mainly in Chinese style. They do have stewed pig trotter I soya sauce as well. We decided to go for fried noodles and a mixed veggies rice with pork. All the dishes turned out to be pretty ordinary and nothing spectacular. In general, Laos food are pretty simple and nothing too inviting for me. However, the prices are pretty good. The size is decent as well. If you are just looking for some simple food, you may consider this place.

Quiet in the day but a busy little place in the evening. I went twice as it was great. First time round I got the chicken pad thai, morning glory and spring rolls. All cooked well and tasty. Second time i got the crispy pork and rice which was excellent. Also very cheap at 40k kip a dish. Service was efficient and the atmosphere in the day is chilled with a nice little buzz about it when it gets busier and the woks are in full flow.

Probably the most disappointing meal we had on our trip to Laos. The service is extreme slow, food was either served cold or oily. The restaurant lacks cleanliness and is usually much crowded and noisier as compared to other restaurants at Luang Prabang. We had hainanese chicken fried rice which was okay but their fried pork spring rolls were served cold and was stinking of stale oil. The tables weren't clean and a group next table were openly spitting in the restaurant but were stopped after some time by staff intervention. Only good thing about this restaurant was the affordability as the prices were much lower than other places at Luang Prabang. Our experience was extremely sour but it could differ as it's highly rated but personally it was a major let down.

I don’t really get the hype, it’s basic stir fried stuff, just a random throw in a wok veggies and other ingredients before it’s served to you with a small broth cup. Not bad not good, not worth the hype. Good if you don’t know where to eat, but don’t come there if you’re not nearby. My veggies were watery, rice too cooked. I think they cook so fast to please the amount of people that it’s just not elaborate at all and not cooked enough. You also don’t know when the egg was cooked, it’s sitting in front waiting to be bought.

Great Laos food at an affordable price. Friendly service and ice cold beer. Most dishes are 40,000 kip. Wait staff speak English.

noodle made by sticky rice handmade, The good place of local people Laos

The crispy pork and broth is delicious. We brought our own chopsticks to save using the plastic wrapped ones. Some canned drinks like Pepsi also available, but say no to the plastic cup to help reduce single use plastic waste. Excellent value.

Really good value, and delicious.

Local, cheap & yummy Rice noodle soup for 30k kip They don't speak any English but you'll understand each other with a smile:]

(Translated by Google) Just a common taste. When I asked how much it was to eat Khao Soi, he rolled his eyes thinking about it and said 40,000 kip... The amount is small (Original) 그냥 흔한맛. 카오쏘이 먹었는대 얼마냐 물으니 눈알 돌아가며 생각하더니 4만킵 이라고... 양도 적음

(Translated by Google) It's a very delicious crispy pork pho restaurant. Driving past and stopping to eat Guaranteed you won't be disappointed. Delicious, one cup is not enough 😋 (Original) เป็นร้านเฝอหมูกรอบที่อร่อยมาก ขี่รถผ่านแวะกิน รับรองไม่ผิดหวัง อร่อยแบบถ้วยเดียวไม่พอ😋

Excellent

A real chilled bar overlooking the river. Great service. I had chicken snack, it’s quite pricey considering the amount and tasted average. I heard, a friend said pizza is good. The place is quite large with many areas to preferences like river terrace with lying pillow, bar counter, tables. Location wise, it’s quite deep in a small alley but not that difficult to find.

Quite good sunset experience in here. Very nice place located at the end of a dead end street. The setup of the bar is super nice and chill, you can easily relax and enjoy the view. There’s a happy hour on Lao cocktails, they were good and couldn’t feel the Lao Lao much but refreshing anyway. Recommend this place for sunset, the Freedom fries were good as well, you can be sure it is homemade.

The food was lush, the scenery was beautiful and overall a lovely experience. It’s chilled during the day and then like a bar at night. Many vegetarian and vegan options so me and my partner could both eat happy there. Plus it’s reasonably priced for travellers.

Chilled with a capital C! A great place to lounge around over looking the Nam Khan river. Many cushions, beanbags to relax on or tables and chairs if you want a meal. Nice selection on the menu, especially some exotic smoothie. We visited for lunch and think it must be really cool at night too. Not easy to stumble upon so follow the signs or Google maps!

It's tricky to get there. The location is very relaxed and well furnished directly to the river. We like their philosophy. The staff was friendly but quite slow and unattentive. Everything took much longer than in other places. Food was okay. The pulled pork sandwich was a bit boring from the taste, spices were missing. The chicken sate was a bit dry, but the sauce was excellent.

Great atmosphere and place to relax in a beautiful surrounding. The place is much larger than we expected with plenty of sitting areas, table, chairs, bean bags and even sleeping mats. They seem to encourage you to hangout and chill. We also enjoyed the cauliflower wings, spicy chicken tacos which were not spicy at all, as well as the cocktails and drinks. The prices are comparable to the many restaurants around but without the cool vibe.

5 stars for creating a cool Bohemian place with a great river view and super chill vibe. Hilariously challenging to find without Google Maps, but you will know when you have found "Utopia". Delicious, clean food, a deep, wide coctail menu -- with a Moscow Mule made with their own homemade ginger beer (not bad). Prices are reasonable. Recommend to go before sunset to lounge and enjoy the view. Plan to spend some time here! Don't regret overlooking this place. [Please "like" if you find this review helpful]

after spending the morning exploring the kuangsi waterfall and riding our scooter back to LPB, we were craving for a big meal, and decided to lunch here. We ordered basically the 3 dishes on the page of most popular Laos dish. Yes we were too hungry that no time for browsing. Ho mok was very delicious. Lab was good. They did adjust the spicy level to your request. We went with 1 chili level and it was pleasant for a summer lunch. Or lam was a bit disappointing, soup was bland. Each dish served with a portion of sticky rice, so the 2 of us were super full with these 3 dishes. The salted peanut for appetizer was offered and it was very interesting to have it mixed with lemongrass. You should try their mango smoothie, really worth the money for such a huge portion of good sweet mango. Restaurant was quite empty during lunch time, it was beginning of March. Indeed the restaurant was very pricey compared to many other options you could have for traditional Lao food, but it was still worth it for the attentive presentation and the setting.

The French pastries are the best I had fora long time. Sandwich was ok. Coffee very good. And the meals are well presented and delicious. Friendly service. On all we went three times for both lunch and diner.

rare 5 star review. had a late lunch and it was excellent. the taste of the lemongrass-wrapped cooked pork was what I had been envisioning since wanting to visit Laos years ago. easily the best meal I had in the town. staff was friendly with good english. go for the Mekong seaweed and joebong (something like that; it’s #4 on the Loas food page of the menu). indoor and outdoor seating. clean bathroom. an absolute must when in “downtown” shopping/temple area. the highest of recommendations.

We had a meal at Bamboo Tree Namkhan Riverside Restaurant and tried two dishes: the tofu with curry and the chicken chili curry. Both dishes were well-prepared and flavorful, offering a good balance of spices. The riverside location provides a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, making it a nice spot for a meal. Overall, it was a good dining experience.

Stuffed Bamboo. D E L I S H. Based on this I assume their chef is really a masterclass one. Will definitely come tomorrow for another dish.

Great authentic Laos food. Wide selection of local dishes with amazing flavours. Staff were very welcoming and attentive and my wife and I hope to return to try some more dishes.

Good Lao Food in a nice ambiente, also works well for mid-sized groups. A little pricier than average for the city. We had a couple of dishes on the table as well as one of the menu. All were great but I recommend to order separately and did not feel like the menu choice was the best option. VERY IMPORTANT: Spiciness 3/5 is extremely spicy, only take this if you are confident in your own tolerance of spicy food

Khao soy tastes unique and more delicious than the noodle. Vegetables are fresh and well prepared and displayed on the dish.

Outstanding chicken and broth noodles with blood cubes - served with fresh bean sprout and lemon slices. Maybe the best I have had since my Javanese wandering days - I would return to the city for the noodles alone

Khao Soi is a must-try dish for anyone visiting the city. It’s a great way to experience local flavors that differ from the more commonly known Thai version of the dish. Whether you're a foodie on a mission to explore Lao cuisine or just a traveler looking for a tasty meal, Khao Soi in Luang Prabang is sure to leave a unique impression.

Great little noodle shop that serves pork khao soi noodles from early morning until they run out. The best part is the bowl of delicious vegetables and herbs that accompany the main dish itself. Mix with locals and visitors and make new friends.

The khao soi was excellent. It was a generous portion with a large side of vegetables. It’s quite different than the northern Thai equivalent but just as tasty. I also loved the road side setting. Highly reccomended!

Super good Khao Soy and Beef noodle soup. Tried the Khao Soy and it has a great depth of flavor. My kids had the beef noodle soup and we all want to eat it again for breakfast tomorrow.

This is the famous khao soi noodle in Luang Prabang. The menu is simple, just noodle soup and khao soi both at a whopping 20,000Kip per bowl. From that price you know that tourists had a role to play the prices. 20K is actually quite extravagant for a sidewalk Al fresco noodle shop. I ordered the Khao Soi (best place to sit is right in front of her) and I liked it. I didn't like the price but I felt it justified a quarter of what the dish satisfied in me. Pork broth with bolognese of fatty pork with flat rice noodles. A satisfying meal nonetheless and because every tourist blogs about it. They always almost sell out at 11am. So try to be there early. You can recognise the shop just further down from Scandinavian Bakery, and recognise them by the 3 black cauldrons smouldering in hot coals. Happy Travels.

I love this place. The food is incredibly tasty and plentiful(!), the drink specials are great, and the atmosphere is unlike any other--especially at night. The restaurant has a social-romantic vibe, and the servers are very kind. I hardly ever take the time to write reviews but this place absolutely deserves it

Only tried the cocktails there: sweet and unbalanced. Not to my taste. If you like alcopops this might be for you. At night the surrounding in the garden looks quite appealing, thought.

LaoLaoGarden is a totally atypical bar that bears its name because it gives you the feeling of immersing yourself in a garden at the entrance. Very nice, even the toilet! The atmosphere is sypathic with free tabe of pools. The employees and the boss are very smiling. The price of drinks is standard. I would definitely come here again.

Pleasant place in the evening, with good music. Restaurant with bar on the street side and nice garden in the back. There is a snooker table too.

Location has changed! It is just around the corner, but don't give up when it isn't where some of the maps still have it. This place is FANTASTIC! I definitely wouldn't call it a "gay" place, but the music was upbeat and fun, the drinks were inexpensive and, though of course not very strong, very tasty. Mostly permanent expats here from all over the world, but the bartenders are very friendly, drink with everyone, and become part of the fun rather than just staying coldly behind the bar serving drinks. A fun vibe with multiple outdoor and indoor areas. Besides the main bar area up front where most of the loud action and socializing happens, there was a pool table inside, a dance area, and tons of quieter outdoor seating with tables and beautiful decorative lighting. Clean bathrooms as well. The owner has really built this place by himself over many years. He has gone through a lot of struggle being one of the only "gay" establishments in the area and being forced to move locations. Keep this place open :)

The place is very average in regards to service and food and needs a deeps clean in places, 2 of the places we sat at had cobwebs where they would put a hotplate. The wait staff are friendly but some struggle to understand you which I appreciate since English isn't their native language. One of the things we ordered was forgotten and had to reordered. We also showed up the next day for drinks as its meant to be one of the only gay friendly bars and was turned away because they had decided to close over an hour early, it wasn't even 10.30 and two other customers were being turned away at the same time.

The ambiance here is great. The garden in the back is super funky and has pretty lighting. The food is so-so but what was wicked were the mosquitos! Obviously the restaurant can’t help the fact that there are bugs, but there are no coils or candles and one bottle of spray for everyone. As much as I wanted to return i couldn’t handle getting eaten alive!

This is a pretty chill bar in Luang Prabang. The decorations are nicely done and give the place a cozy, laid-back vibe. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Prices are affordable, and the location is perfect—right on the same street as the night market, so it’s easy to find and convenient to stop by after exploring.

We are visiting Luang Prabang from Mexico, and I must say that the Ceviche is exactly what the other reviews describe: amazing, great, delicious, etc etc. Totally recommended. The rest of food in the menu is also delicious, prices very reasonable and the restaurant and location in one of the areas main streets. Last but not least, staff and owners provided a great service.

Perfect for people watching from the terrace. Full bar, friendly servers, and everything our group tried on the menu was enjoyed. The house specialty of ceviche was my favorite. Also the fish in the parchment paper. Very tasty.

I suffered from mild food poisoning here after eating a raw burger that I ordered to be cooked medium. This probably would have been fine if they used good quality beef but given my vomiting the morning after they used cheap beef mince for their burgers and also don’t cook it for long enough.

Good food, cold beer, friendly people, excellent staff, go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy yourself. Highly recommend !!!!!!!

Unbelievable restaurant!! One of the best meals I’ve had in Asia - I had the braised short rib. Such a cute vibe inside and outside and couldn’t recommend more.

This is a chill place to hang out and watch people go about their business on the main drag. We came here often during our visit to Luang Prabang when we wanted a coke and / or a cool beer. The staff are nice, the decor has a nice vibe, the prices are very reasonable and importantly (as a tourist) we were able to pay with relatively large notes!

Ate here several times and everytime when I eat the food it is consistently tastful. It’s a family restaurant and they are very welcoming. If I ever again visit Luang Prabang I would go here again. Would recomment it to anyone!

Bamboo Garden in Luang Prabang is a must-visit! This charming spot exceeded expectations with its huge portions and incredibly delicious food. I devoured the Pad Thai with chicken and the pork omelette, both bursting with flavor. Beyond the fantastic fare, the staff was exceptionally nice, making for a truly memorable dining experience. Don't miss this little gem!

Very nice staff, place is on a quiet lane off the main road. I am vegan and they made me a very good tofu lap. Very tasty and aromatic. My best vegan meal in Laos so far. If you are vegan, just ask them not to use oyster sauce and fish sauce they totally understand.

We ate here twice during our stay in Luang Prabang and really loved it both times. Both the food and the service are fantastic. We wanted to come back once more but stupidly hadn’t checked whether it was open on a Sunday. Would highly recommend if you are in Luang Prabang to visit here

Made with LOVE! everything here from the food to the generous hospitality reflects love. Real homemade cooking, authentic Lao cuisine variety. Very affordable. We did dine several times during our Luang Prabang stay. Highly recommend and not to miss ♥️

Visited here a few times as they were able to prepare my food gluten free as I am celiac. The food each time was very good, and good portion sizes too! The owner of the restaurant spoke very good English and understood celiac, as did his wife who was the chef. Not many gluten free finds in luang Prebang so definitely recommend!

Incredible dishes. We got the stir fried chicken with basil and the vegetable curry and added chicken. Both were fresh and delicious. Very Thai inspired. We also got the sausage as an appetizer and it came out after our main dishes. It was very mid. Don’t recommend. Their main dishes though are insane!

Their food is amazing. We had the bor bun noodle dish (pork and tofu) and it so was incredible, we came back the next day for it again! 10/10 and very good prices

just had to take a moment to rave about your incredible fried rice! It was an absolute delight from the first bite to the last. The flavours were perfectly balanced, savoury , aromatic, and with just the right hint of smokiness from the wok. Every grain was cooked to perfection, with that ideal texture that’s both fluffy and satisfyingly chewy. The fresh ingredients, from the tender veggies to the perfectly seasoned protein, made every spoonful a burst of joy. It’s clear that your team puts so much care and skill into this dish, and it truly elevates the dining experience. This is hands-down the best fried rice I’ve ever had, and I can’t wait to come back for more! Thank you for making my meal unforgettable.

Great Lao traditional foods, the price was reasonable and good vibes ❤️ Must try 👍

We ended up eating here 4 times during our stay in LP. The Bo Bun was my favorite as well as the spring rolls. Her peanut sauce is not to be missed. Everything is under 30k which is very reasonable for the area. Also had the soup when I was sick and it made me better. Great food and local vibe.

Veg pad lao had plenty of protein: soft tofu, omelette and peanuts. The flavour was nice and sweet, but overall a bit heavy with oil. Price 45k. The place was packed on a weeknight.

Great little cafe run by relaxed people. We are a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters and the menu worked well for us. As others have said the Vietnamese noodles are delicious. There are no windows/sides and lots of fans to get a breeze going which is nice. Simple and very good.

The staff told us the place was "full" and that we had to wait. But what we actually saw was completely unacceptable: • There were only 2 customers at the bar. • One four-seat table had just one person; another table was the same. It was obvious that shared seating was possible! Yet they made us wait a full thirty minutes-and even after the bar customers left, we were still left waiting outside! Then, during ordering, it got worse. We asked for no sugar and no cilantro, and the server flat-out refused. We tried explaining a second time, and again, they said no. Is this restaurant not catering to tourists? Are they incapable of making a simpl adiustment? How can they not even leave out cilantro?! And what infuriates me most is the total lack of service awareness-not a single word of apology.

Played pool here, playing is free but the sticks are questionable. Drink prices can vary a lot, so be careful when ordering. Some can be 100,000 for a shot and other times it’s 30,000 for two beers.

We like the bar, great atmosphere and music. The drinks were too strong for me, but the others will probably appreciate it. The service was nice and good English speaking. I give 4 stars, because when we paid we were included drinks, which we did not have. Overall, we were satisfied.

I’m a huge fan of the mango-pineapple smoothie! In fact I get one everyday ♥️ The bartender is super friendly & remembers me in spite of not having an alcoholic beverage! Very welcoming, highly recommend.

A very Good restaurant to have food and drink. Downside they have only glass of lao beer on Tap and nothing towers or Jugs available. Rest everything was great.

We had a great time here. Bar is well stocked. Staff are competent and friendly. Pizza was pretty good (not legendary, but just fine). I brought some chili peppers with me and they diced them up and put them on the pizza for me. Good music and lively atmosphere. A little bit pricey but not outrageous. Also, one of the few places I found in town with draft beer.

A great place to sit, refresh & watch the World go by; in Laos 🇱🇦 Time.

This place is a vibe! And they accept Credit Card! Server was so nice and understood my broken Laotian (mostly English, haha). They currently have it decorated for Halloween and when I ordered the mushroom soup as an appetizer, the kitchen made a little ghost from the cream! So cute! Music was also vibin'. Highly recommend. FYI: There will always be a 3% surcharge when using your CC anywhere you go in Laos.

This place is okay, we just wanted a couple of smoothie bowls and had been recommended to come here. The service wasn’t great for us, felt like we’d been forgotten about - the owner apologised as he thought we’d already ordered. Then I had to ask again for the water we ordered (not the end of the world!) The smoothie bowls were very nice and pretty filling which is what we needed, also presented nicely.

Pretty good experience here, the fruit bowl is very refreshing. However, I would say a little more fruit and less yogurt is better. Service is friendly and the staff speak good English. Understandable because this place is crowded with tourist, especially those from the West.

The vegan food was delicious, the staff was friendly and spoke a little bit of English. The prices were very reasonable! Really recommend it!

Cute veggie place but overpriced and the food was not super tasty or filling. I have eaten far better summer rolls, especially in Vietnam. These didn't have any fresh herbs and the peanut sauce was watery.. 🙃 Also, we ordered a pot of lemongrass and ginger tea expecting fresh ingredients. What we got was a single English branded teabag diluted in far too much water, so disappointing :(

The berry smoothie bowl never disappoints. Fresh fruit, yogurt, and berries, sweet, refreshing, and fresh in every bite. So good. Highly recommended.

Two Little Birds Caffe felt like it was run by a mad scientist who hates fruit. The drinks? Imagine if someone poured you a thimble of juice, buried it in an iceberg, and then drowned it with fizzy water. Voilà, disappointment in a glass. Calling it “refreshing” would be like calling a hangover “a spiritual awakening.” I just wanted actual juice, not a chemistry experiment. The bowls at least tried to save the day. They looked decent and tasted okay, but some of the promised ingredients clearly got lost on their way from the kitchen to the table. Menu says one thing, bowl says “nah.” It wasn’t bad, but it felt like someone photocopied a salad and gave me the grayscale version. Verdict: you won’t leave angry, but you also won’t leave inspired. 3/5.

Love this little restaurant! I went everyday when I stayed in Luang Prabang. All the food is fresh, tasty and fairly priced. Mostly vegan (just remove eggs if there are). Fast service, plenty of options.

I came to this restaurant and really liked the design it’s beautifully done. However, it was quite difficult to communicate with the waitress since she didn’t speak any English. I ordered the Curry Rock Rice with chicken and was very disappointed with the dish. The drink called “Breath Freshener” gave me unpleasant heartburn, but the watermelon and strawberry drink was actually very tasty. Overall, I didn’t enjoy my experience here.

A small authentic Thai restaurant tucked in a back street. So many options on the menu u it’s hard to choose. Food was amazing and service was very quick. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Luang Prabang.

Delicious food and friendly staff! Hands down the best Cashew Chicken I have ever eaten. We will be back again before we leave Luang Prabang. Oh, and my Beer Lao was the coldest I've had at a restaurant here.

We loved our meals (green curry chicken & chicken cashew). We didn’t have a problem communicating- we just pointed at what we wanted. (Google Translate is a great back-up if needed).

Eating at Phak Luck in Luang Prabang was an absolute delight. I didn’t realize how much I missed the taste of really good fried rice until that first bite. Full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and just what I needed – pure comfort on a plate. Every bite took me back to Thailand, and the blend of spices, texture, and warmth made it one of the best meals I’ve had in a while.

Fantastic food at even better prices. We had 3 dishes and drinks for under 300k kip. Beautiful interior and very friendly staff. We will be back!

The food here is good. Fried rice is delicious and the portion is very enough. However, the soup is too sweet for me so I didn't enjoy it.

Fair prices, much better than the little convenience stores around town. Well stocked, clean and well lit. The temperature inside is a little hot though. We tried the little ice cream bags from the freezers near the checkout and were really surprised at how good they were! I recommend the chocolate flavor.

visited on Aug 2025 many shops seem to be permanently closed down. mostly skirts shop and bike rental still open. traditional lao skirt are fairly priced though if you’re considering the effort they put to weave these patterns.

Place is empty and dusty. Got a feel of "about to be foreclosed". The only open stores are for textiles and some antiques. Those are the stores at the edge of the market. The inside ones are all closed.

Dara Market small stalls were great. But I did go there purposely to buy a pillow at the big supermarket with no success lol. They had many shelves full of pillows but no price on them apparently so I was told I could not buy one...decoration only?? I was sad Lol

Good. Most can't speak English. But can manage. Cheap. Not crowded. I can recommend.

Horrible place. I needed only 2 items, but woe betide you if ahead of you is a local is trying to pack away a 100+ items. The clerk will slowly take her own sweet time to compile the bill and after a quarter of an hour when your own turn comes, will demand only cash, no cards or any other form of payment.

A random collection of shops most which were closed. A range of items not necessarily blending in one space. The actual situation did not meet expectations or the hype.

Delicious food and friendly service for a reasonable price, particularly for the area. The curry with tofu (40k kip) was a highlight with delicious flavour. Also good portion size. Highly recommend to all! They also offer a minivan service to Kuang Si waterfall - 100k kip 11.30am - 16.00pm. Didn’t use this so cannot comment on the service.

True hidden gem in Luang Prabang! The food felt so authentic and carried that comforting, home-made touch you can rarely find when traveling. Every dish was prepared with care, full of rich flavors that brought out the essence of Lao cuisine. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it feel like you were being hosted by family rather than dining in a restaurant. If you’re looking for a genuine taste of local food with heart and authenticity, Ajam Mora is an absolute must-visit.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Luang Prabang. That kind of local restaurant where the food is good, made by locals and cheap. I ate here everyday when I was in Luang Prabang. The food is really good! Definitely recommend to backpackers and travellers that like the experience of a good local restaurant. Prices are super affordable and the old lady who serves you is so nice and kind. Highly recommend!

For me this is the best value restaurant in the city. Dont expect a great atmosphere or nothing fancy, its just a local shop run by an old sweet lady that has super good food for super cheap prices, and the best for me is that they cater for vegetarians too. This is a must try if you are visiting. Authentic flavours and the best bang for your buck

This is exactly the kind of restaurant I like to visit when I travel. Don't expect any luxury, we were served by an old lady and she was very nice. I have a great advantage that I travel with my girlfriend from Laos, so ordering food is easier. The food was very tasty and for me the price was really very affordable for everyone. Atmosphere very quiet at lunchtime, in the evening it can be a little noisy, there are food stands from the night market. My only regret is that I discovered this restaurant on my last day, otherwise I would come back to this place.

Very simple but authentic place. Good food, the lowest prices in Luang Prabang. Very friendly service. Additionally they are offering transport services to The airport, railway station and waterfalls.

My favourite place for lao food in Luang Prabang. Many options are vegan with tofu, recommend the drunken noodles and the curry tofu. Very reasonable

I personally love this small street night food market. You can try all varieties local tasty food in this place. If you like Somtum, try at this shop.

While the large night market is good for food, sometimes it is worth it to explore the smaller laneways where people are serving freshly cooked food at very cheap prices. Some food has been sitting there a while, so only go for the stuff that is freshly cooked.

It's a great experience to see this street and grab a street food. Prices are cheaper than on the night market, quality a good one for street food. Great juices selection and super tasty coconut mini-pancakes! We had as well a tom yum soup - definitelly recommended

A small alley full of food stalls, where you get a lot of Laotian dishes. Settled for an avocado shake and khao soi (very different from Thai version but definitely recommend, with that chilli oil!)

Most of it, if not all, are interesting and the cheapest in town. Only about a fifty-meter strip, it’s an array of legit Laotian food. Some are freshly cooked, some looked stale. Be prudent in choosing the right stall

Best food in Luang Prabang can be found here, they might look simple but very flavorful, our Dutch and Chinese bellies didn’t got upset for once after eating here for a week. Conclusion, friendly chefs, good taste, affordable prices. Definitely recommend it!

There are coconut pancake, rice skewers and fruit shakes stores at the front before heading in. The walkway can be a tad narrow when crowded. Local cuisines to try with prices being around 15-25k kip depending on what dishes you will be getting. Sticky rice at a standard 5k, fruit shake 10-15k kip and rice skewers/coconut pancakes at 5k. Bonus - a 20k kip vegetarian, one plate one price "buffet", where you load up on whatever you want and pay only 20k kip.

Traditional taste of food taste familiar with Thai food. Spicy sweet and salty. Love the way they served all dishes with a small blow of soup. Price is reasonable. For me was cheap! Got newest photo of menus for you all!

During our staying in Luang Prabang we ate in this place at least 6 times! There are many different dishes and the prices are good! Eat here was a pleasure everytime!

The pad si eiw is to die for! The cooking is perfect. All dishes we ordered were good. The price is very cheap for what you get. Portions are generous. Would give it 6 stars if i could. The location on the map seems to be slightly wrong.

You can enjoy local food at a reasonable price. The restaurant is small and there is no air conditioning so it could be hot. The chef prepares food cleanly.

Good food at a great value. We got two rices dishes and one noodle soup for 45k. The dishes we ordered were able to be made vegetarian. Def recommend for budget eating 👍🏽

The food tastes delicious and the prices are really low. It's a homely restaurant with a small kitchen, run by very nice elderly people, in the evenings all the seats are often taken so the waiting time for food can get much longer. If you expect to be served to European standards for $2-3 and get your meal after 10 minutes this is simply not the place for you.

Everything here is excellent. Ate here several times during my stay in Luang Prabang. Today I had drunken noodles and then ordered the spicy coconut curry on chef's recommendation. Your food may take a while if its busy but that just means you know its all freshly prepared. Great spot to eat.

Little outdoor restaurant with a few tables and a small menu with great soups. They even made a child friendly version for our toddler and she loved it. Price was excellent for the quality of food and friendly staff!

Amazing noodles and quick service. Very reasonable (50000kip per bowl), and comes with a huge basket of fresh herbs, lime, chilli etc to garnish. Seemed to be popular with locals as well as tourists.

Local, big bowl, good portion veggies, delicious, and cheap. Aromatic and tasty soup. So much condiments to eat with. Nice friendly staffs. Clean and tidy. Chilies can be very spicy, beware of putting.

Great pho! Love the noodles here had the pork knuckle one as well really nice small place to have a meal there’s a bunch of condiments at the table for you to use to pair with the noodles, would definitely recommend!

Great noodles and service. They have crushed ginger and fresh herbs too and offer iced tea. Reasonably priced. Ai speaks very good English too. I go often!

One of the best Pho I ever try, and service either. Soup, noodles, meat and ambient are great! Lot of veggies 🥦 and seasonings 🧂 you can choose.

Great noodles with pork of beef, broth was very flavourful!

Dec 24 We ordered rice noodle soup and noodle soup with minced pork sauce. The noodle soup with minced pork sauce came with flat rice noodle. It didn’t feel like there was meat inside except for some minced pork. The soup was tasty. The price for each bowl was 40.000 kip. The price in another review of this shop was 30.000 kip a year ago. That was a big price jump for a year. That’s the price to be in tourist area I guess. Still worth a try.

Tried the vegetarian soup. Asked for no meat, only vegetables. The soup was good, but ok. For the price of 50k it was a bit too expensive.

It was very good! I tried the veggie one and it was delicious. And it only costed me 40kip which is like 2 euros

If you are looking very carefully you will find a stand - hidden vegan gems of Luang Prabang! Amazing vegan soup, where you can choose all the ingredients. Mushrooms are highly recommended!

It’s not bad although overpriced for sure at 20000. You can find other restaurants and cafes that’ll sell for 12-15000 next street over for the same quality n quantity.

Cheap and tasty pho and kao soi, with fresh veggies and noodles. I paid 30,000 Kip for a bowl which seemed reasonable for a tourist price. Nothing out of this world, but tasty and filling and the people serving are friendly. Surrounding night market gives it a nice atmosphere. Note that kao soi in Laos isn’t spicy and not like Thai kao soi with the crispy noodles

The shop is around the night market along the main street. I had their Khao Soy noodle which is a spicy noodle soup and it was delicious. Throw in basil, lettuce and some lime juice for extra flavour. They also have chilli on the side if you want it hotter. The cost is at 20,000kip (around usd2.50). Cheap good street food.

20,000 kip for excellent bowl of pork khao soi. Pork is thick, crispy skinned roast pork. Amazing. Beef noodles also delicious.

The best CAO SOI EVER! Been travelling trough out the entire country and this is by far the best ever! AMAZING One if not my favourite noodle soup ever Highly recommend

Great Khao piak. A bit spicy but meat of high quality nice roasted pork. Noodles have a smooth consistency. It is a nice shop full of locals. It can get quite busy.

Best noodle. Way better than the western food here and only cost 1/10.

Good place that's popular with the locals. The restaurant's official name is Nang To's Pho and Khao Soi Restaurant (ຮ້ານ ເຝີ - ເຂົ້າຊອຍ ນາງ ໂຕ້). Good Khao Piak, Khao Soi, and they also have big pork marrow bones that you can use a chopstick to scrape out the delicious marrow with. They usually sell out by 1PM, so get there early.

The best noodle soup I’ve had in Laos. I ordered Khao Soi and was given mince rather than crispy pork but it was delicious and the peanut sauce that comes with it is to die for

Good Khao soy ! Big portions local price and the owner is friendly.

We came here at about 2am after we’d been bowling as it was the only food place open near our hostel. After about 10 minutes of trying to order food (lots of dishes out of stock & language barrier), we each got a bowl of pork noodle soup. Tasted unbelievable!! Highly recommend coming here, the broth was unreal. So affordable too - we payed 35,000lak each and it was a good portion size!

Yum yum yum. Came here two nights in a row. Love the crispy pork noodle soup

Delicious noodle soup. Cheap, clean place (couple of wash basins, they have NZ hygiene course certificate hanging), nice staff.

Amazing duck noodle soup. Cute family owned restaurant

I got food poisoning after eating the crispy pork. The worst night of my life.

A pork rice dish cost me 65000 Lao Kip, which is double the price of other places, rubbish restaurant

Tasty soup even though we got pork instead of chicken. Friendly staff, limited English

Test is good and they give so much and not expensive Recommendation to try

Pa Dock's place is a small locally breakfast, she serves Khao Soy a typical Luang Pra Bang noodle soup, Khao Poon Nam PA a rice vermicelli noodle with caramelize fish sauce and beef soup. The taste is just awesome. I dropped by every times I came to Luangprabang

The soup (Kao Soi) was fantastic in its simplicity. I also enjoyed the fresh herbs. I‘ll definitely come again.

Good location, pleasant stuff and, first of all, very tasty meals for an affordable price.

It seems to be a soup made with octopus and shrimp. The flavor is similar to Bun Mam from Vietnam, yet distinctly different.

Their Khao Poon was delicious, quick, cost-effective, and awesome!

(Translated by Google) It's insanely delicious with flat rice flour noodles, spicy soup, meat miso, Chinese cabbage, and green onions. You can drink all the soup! (Original) 米粉の平打ち麺にピリ辛のスープ、肉味噌に空しん菜白菜ネギが入ってめちゃくちゃうまいです。スープ全部飲み干せます！
