Lao Cafe is an excellent introduction to Laos cuisine in London. I really love their spicy Papaya Salad, Grilled Pork Neck, and Spicy Sour Pork Ribs.If you like spicy and flavorful dishes (think a mix of Thai and Vietnamese cuisine) you will probably like the dishes at Lao Cafe as well.It helps that it’s in a central location and it’s also quite affordable.

Very good food! Staff is nice and polite, welcoming and warm feeling.There aren't many vegetarian options, I wish there would be more choice.The curry is delicious and something I have never tried in any other asian restaurant, so I was pleasantly surprised!

Ordered the Hot Pot and Sticky rice, which was decent. I sat in the back with a friend, and there was a strong fish sauce odor, which I disliked. The server was very friendly and has a Thai background. And I think the owner is Thai also?

Amazing food and professional service! All the staff here were very friendly and we had such a nice warm welcome! We was never disappointed. If you want a nice authentic Thai (north eastern) food I would highly recommend!

I wouldn’t come here if you’re very hungry.We left a bit disappointed as we were still hungry after spending over £70 on food (for 2 people). However the food was nice and the staff were lovely.Only complaint is that the bottom of one of our sticky rice was crispy so we could barely eat it.Due to the price and meal size unfortunately I won’t be returning as there are other Thai places that offer similar food for a more reasonable price.

I am obsessed with this place. This food blows your head off with fresh & exciting flavours! We had the crab papaya salad (they do not hold back with the spice), bamboo salad & pork neck laab. All are dishes which I would strongly recommend. The staff were so kind & helpful, and the restaurant was very vibey and atmospheric. We will be coming back!

Too expensive for what it is - 40 Pounds for 3 dishes, one sticky rice and a tap water. Perhaps.., the place is located at/closed to the prime area of London.The grill pork jaw is burn - way too burn. Maybe this is because it is needed a palm sugar or a kind to marinate before char grill. So the sugar make it burn easily.I am not sure but they might substitute the yard long beans with green bean, making it smell green.The spicy and sour soup is perfect.To be fair all dishes taste nice. But it is definitely not a much to try. Staffs here are professional and attentive though.
