The 14 best spots for soup in Vientiane

Great food. They cater very well to non-local visitors. Plenty of chilli to saviour.

Very clean and well kept premises where small lively groups meet. Food was nice and value-priced. Staff were polite. The menu is in Lao and an English version is provided. They are open late, till 11:30 pm.

The food and prices were good. The service was unfriendly though and the restaurant looked closed from the outside at first which was a bit confusing.

this is not the bor pen yang you’re looking for, it doesn’t exist anymore. however they had decent green curry

Nice food and friendly service. Enjoyed Fried pork with amazing sauce. Fried rice was good. Paid 5% extra service charge using onepay.

One of the best restaurants in Vientiane. Larb and pad thai were absolutely perfect. Staff is very friendly.

Nice place! Open late for the area and they have a decent selection of good quality Lao dishes. Been a couple of times and I will keep coming back and update as needed. Come there after sundown to enjoy the joyful boisterous nature of the locals for the best experience or drop by for a good lunch.

A delicious Khaopiyak restaurant. If you're nearby, be sure to visit.

Another local menu

Normal noodle shop. Many locals eat here. Reasonable price.

With nearly 40 years of history; the flavor remains the same as its name. "KhaoPiak Pa Bae" Start from 15,000 kips or $2 with choices from a bowl of Chicken to Slice pork Khaopiak. A traditional and yet a delicious day to day meal. Open from Mon to Fri @ 7:00 to 13:00

👍

10 score

Local minced meat dish with lot of mints and herb, known as "Larp". I love the spacious high ceiling, allow wind flow, and not hot at all.

It is a Noodle Soup Shop where you can order Lao Food Dishes.You can organize Dinner Party for 10 -20 Participants in a Air Conditionned Room.The Food and Service are Excellent.

Delicious food and they gave a lot, so be sure not to order too much. Spacious and good aeration.

Delicious but too much seasoning powders...

Great restaurant for Beef Laap and Pho

As the restaurant location I stay was just beside my hotel, 3 Merchant will be the best choice for my meal. Upon the recommendation in trip advisor, I straight away make a reservation directly at the website. As I reached the restaurant, I was greeted warmly at the counter, straight away they ushered to my seat which is a sofa with window view. Perfect for a solo diner like me. Before my official trip, I already make up my minds and straight away order their courses meal "The Nice" and a cocktail with no wine paring this time round. All the dishes was beautiful plated, with nice and clear presentation from Staff Yue. Every single dishes was explained clearly with every single ingredient on it. After every single dishes was complete, Yue will ask for feedback, how the tastes, is everything alright! Every single dishes make my expectations, mind blowing, especially the scallop, dumpling with coconut soup on below. My mind instantly went blank for a few seconds. Lastly my course ended with a sweet savory. Chef NIM personally came out do the final plating of the deserts. It really surprised me with a display of culinary skills! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality from the team of 3 Merchant!

This place is amazing! I love the decor of the restaurant that has a touch of the rustic look. The food is amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful especially Lynda who attended to us while we were there. She is attentive, friendly, polite and professional. The whole experience was excellent! It's located on the ground level of Crowned Plaza Vientiane. Highly recommend!

Absolutely the best spot in Vientiane for a fantastic meal! If you’re used to big-city prices, this will feel like a bargain for the quality you get. The service was excellent, and the food was full of flavor — every dish hit the mark. The setting is beautiful too, with tasteful decor and plenty of cozy seating. A special shoutout to Namfon, who provided outstanding service and great recommendations — and spoke excellent English! And I have to mention the butter wagon — yes, a butter wagon! Never seen that in any restaurant before. It’s both impressive and oddly charming — a brilliant touch that deserves its own round of applause. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Vientiane!

Quite hard to find. If you travel here to eat, this beautiful res is inside the Crowne Plaza and behind the reception desk. Best cuisine experience in Vientiane. The service and food quality were beyond my expectations. The price is also reasonable.

Came here for my birthday as a special vacation treat - and it did not disappoint. Great food and drinks, lovely atmosphere and very good service.

We had a delicious meal at 3 Merchants! The Khao Soi was the best! Must try. Best I’ve tasted. And the service was incredible. Miss Yuee was so attentive. We weren’t sure what to order and she explained everything to us in detail. She was so sweet, making sure throughout the meal that we were enjoying the food. Amazing service and delicious food. Must try this restaurant if you’re in Vientiane. It’s in the Crowne Plaza hotel so bonus if you’re staying there. Loved it!

A highlight of the New Year's celebrations was the incredible five-course dinner. Each dish was a work of art, both visually and flavor-wise. From the melt-in-your-mouth appetizer to the decadent dessert, it was a delicious journey. The expertly chosen wines perfectly complemented each course, and the service was warm and impeccable.

That Luang Food Market is a must-visit spot for food lovers, offering a wide variety of Lao dishes and international flavors. The friendly vendors and affordable prices make it even more enjoyable. Come hungry because there’s so much to try! The market opens in the early evening and runs until late at night, making it a great place to explore local street food.

Amazing! This small market has various kinds of delicious food, snacks, drinks, homemade dishes, vegs, fruits. The price is unbelievable cheap. 25.000LAK for 1kg of litchi. A big fold delicious bread filled with different stuff is just 20.000 LAK. I like here more than the city centre night food market.

At night, my family visited the Night Market to eat various foods and fruits. It was so tasty and the price was also much cheaper than where I live. I had a chance to taste traditional food of Lao and it was awesome, a perfect food for a cool night.

Lao and local night food are here! With only one chanel shop style with two side stall that the chef are selling cooking / cooked food so it's easy for you to looking what you like to have for tonight dinner. Most of the menu are Lao food which seminary to Thai food and you could try most of the menu are tasty and consider cheapest a menu maybe starting from 5,000 LAK or 0.7$. Recommend nfor the grill pork and baby pig so yummy 👍 There's no public toilet but you may use the toilet at the Destiny coffee shop also parking inside is charged but if you lucky to have a space of parking side the road it's free 😁 #LetsGuide #LocalGuides #LocalGuidesConnect

Food market near That Luang offers good food

So many stalls, so many smells! We ordered from two different stalls, and bought pad Thai, seen savanh (Lao beef jerky), and sai oua (Lao sausage). The market is less geared toward tourist, so there are less english speakers, but the prices were very reasonable and the vendors were helpful despite the language barrier. There are very few places to sit so we took our food across the street into Nong Sa Phang Lenh park

Food along a narrow isle. Lots of food and people. Parking always crowded. Good place to see large crowds full of shapely people.

This is a well-known restaurant for pho - Vietnamese noodles. The restaurant is pretty big. You can choose to sit inside or outside. Compared to other local pho restaurants, the price is a bit high.

Good pho, so many local people drying the lunch time. Air-conditioned room and outdoor seating. Very fast service. Pho came in less than 2 minutes after ordered. Drink were too sweet, I should order for less sweet. This restaurant is more than 60 years old. Highly recommend here.

The restaurant is spacious so you are not eating in the crowded ply. The service is quick and kind. The staff doesn't speak English but they are willing to communicate and menu has English descriptions. Food is delicious and not overpriced.

Ive been in laos for a few days now so i dont know much. BUT what i do know is that the pho and the fried rice was gass 🔥🔥 the fried rice was so good that i had to order one more plate 😂😂. but the most shocking thing about this place for me was the price. 1.5$ for a plate of fried reice?!! crazy how the prices change depending on the location!!

Delicious and perfectly cooked noodles. Generous vegetable sides. Fruit shake drink is fruity and flavourful. Staffs are attentive and accomodating. Wide and clean atmosphere. Clean comfort rooms.

We were recommended this place by a tuk tuk driver and we're not disappointed. Traditional pho is sold here along with many other menu items. Very quick service and a table full of condiments arrived followed by bowls of steaming hot pho. Absolutely delicious and so cheap! I would definitely recommend a visit

Good Tasty good service and have a lot of them you can order small size 😊

Place is clean and service was fantastic. Set up cutlery and served water. As for taste wise, it was not fantastic but decent taste. Tourist spicy level, which is zero to low, may be requested in this restaurant.

Great options for Laotian food! It is a really fancy restaurant. Keep this in mind! Food definitely costs more than other places around but I loved it and thought it was worth every penny. Staff were super sweet

Good place to sample local food. All dishes we had were full of flavors and in great portions. We ate the Pork spring roll, the Red curry steamed rice and the Khong soup (a vegetable soup). I do recommend all the dishes we had. The prices were were good too.

Nice explanation about Lao Food on the menu. The price is a bit high for what you get, the "small" fried rice with chicken is 25.000 Kip, for that I get a pretty big plate somewhere else. I missed any kind of spice in my rice and didn't get any chili soy sauce like you usually do when ordering this dish. There were no sauce or spices on the table to add to my taste neither. The mango sticky rice was so-so, I wouldn't recommend it since the mango itself wasn't ripe and sour instead sweet. Staff was nice and fast. Place was clean and calm.

So many vegan options there! They serve brown rice, tofu and lots of veggies. Their dishes are usually made out of oyster sauce. I just asked them to use soy sauce instead and they were happy to do so. The prices are really cheap and you‘ll get a great meal for that. I‘ve already been there several times!

I ordered the fish cakes to start and the red curry for mains, both were good but just good. Maybe it was just my choices that didnt give the chef a chance to shine but what I ate was fairly average. Staff and setting were lovely.

A lot of tourists eat at here. Good Laos cuisine with affordable price. Taste great!

Anou Night Market is a great spot for street food lovers, offering a wide variety of Lao dishes, with grilled meats and papaya salad being the standout choices. The prices are very reasonable, making it an excellent option for a casual meal. This slightly hidden gem is highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Lao street food in a vibrant atmosphere.

Really small night market. Some food option, but not that many. We tried delicious sausage here though! Worth visiting if you have extra time.

Went there on a Friday night, not much to eat, mostly bbq skewers. A lot of smoke, full of locals some by foot some stopping by bike. If that’s the kind of food you like then go for it, it looks better than the other markets in town, but no prices are showed so you might get the tourist price …

Night market with plethora of options from basic noodles to seefood and insects to try. Highly recommend the backdoor atmosphere of this a little hidden market.

Just a small collection of stalls that sell generally the same local food. You are better off going to Vientiane night market (the food one) nearby.

Great price for clothes and other stuff. The best thing about this market is - you don't need to waste your time and efforts on bargaining. The prices are mostly fixed and are cheap. Made in China but are good. If you are a shopping girl you would love it.

This place is amazing! Here I ate best duck ever and I have been in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and now Laos. This duck was only 20.000kip (2.34$) and you get half of juicy, delicious, fingerlicious meat with crisp crunchy skin of duck. Skewers for 5.000kip (0.58$), sticky rice, sausages...they have everything. Lical food for čocal people. For me way better then Night Market next to Mekong river where typical tourists go. Btw. Ve sur to take some mosquito repelent, this is also their feeding area. If I could rate with 10, I would give 10!😍😋🇱🇦

Good local Laos food. Price also local. No ENG, no VIE. Foods: A little sweetened than normal but it’s okay. Much like southern Vietnamese foods. I also got the plate of rice with meat (don't really know the name) which is even more OK, but forgot to take the picture.

I found this noodle shop through TikTok - took a tuktuk from my hotel to the shop the next day to have khao piek for breakfast. Their main specialty is the pork khao piek ( with pork blood & knuckles ), which comes in 3 different sizes but I opted for the small one. It was delicious. The noodles were thick and chewy - which what I wanted, instead of the usual thinner noodles at other shops. I would consider this shop a “ hole in the wall “. It is a little bit further from Vientiane City Center ( 10 - 15 min) but I’m glad I tried it. Service was quick, fast, and friendly. Definitely recommend trying it!

Very nice local Lao thick noodle-like broth comes with generous servings of pork slices and pork blood. Every table comes with a big bowl of pork lard fried in fried chilli as garnishing. Come here for the food, not atmosphere.

Big bowl

Good flavour of Lao big rice noodles soup. If you are looking for a good local flavour, recommend to come here.

Great Cow piak! Broth is super nice

Cheaper & good

Clean, prices are fine. But rice and chicken were cold. With bones, fat and cold. Luckily I was hungry so I ate almost everything but it was damn cold as snow. There is no way to warm the food. The cashier (staff) said that they don’t have a microwave and they can’t warm it.

Hawker Chan, the Michelin-starred street food from Singapore, has opened its first branch in the Parkson shopping center. Due to its fame, it can get quite crowded at times. I found the food overall to be average and not quite to my taste—oily and overly sweet. The ribs seemed reheated and lacked freshness, while the BBQ pork was a bit too sweet for my liking. However, the standout dish was the spicy tofu with green apple, which was a delightful surprise.

A taste of SG in LA. Food tastes good and serving size adequate for its price. Ambiance typical of fastfood center. Missing is sterilizer for the utensils.

Love the manager here do friendly. Feels you met him 10 years ago. Food tasty specially char siu and soy chicken. Veggies are good too.

The owner is so friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and the portions are brilliant. 59k for a meal which is well worth it for the amount of delicious food you get!

Very delicious. 10/10 recommend

The food is not that good to be a Michelin star. The chicken portion is too little. Won’t try it again

Hidden diamond For the people to know what is khao soi By far the best khao soi soup I was try in Laos

This restaurant is run by Thai. The flavour is very good+authentic and approved by my Chiangmai friend.

Very good

Best place for northern Thai style Khao Soy in Vientiane. This place can be a little hard to find, but it's well worth the visit for people who are craving Thai style Khao Soy (Lao style Khao Soy is different, more like pho, whereas Thai-style is curried egg noodles.) Food is good, it's a nice simple noodle shop and a great stop for people who like these flavors. Will definitely eat here again.
