" Came here with friends to explore new flavors and I was not disappointed. The staff provided a quick service and were very courteous. The curries were perfectly balanced in spices! However, I found the pricing a bit steep for the portion sizes. Overall, a pleasant place that I wouldn’t mind returning to. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m so glad I discovered Vientiane Bistro! Their phở is phenomenal, served steaming hot with fresh ingredients. The staff was very helpful in guiding us through the extensive menu. I will be back to try more! However, the only downside was the slight wait for seating during peak times, but it’s definitely worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was quite good but I must say that I expected more from the reviews about their authentic dishes. While the flavors were nice, I didn't find them to be as bold as I hoped. That said, the staff was exceptionally friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I tried their green curry and it was enjoyable, just not mind-blowing. I'll likely return to explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many Laotian and Thai places, but Vientiane Bistro really shines. The first thing that reached out to me was the vibrant decor that echoed the cuisine itself. I was happy to try their pho and it was spectacular! Soupy, rich, and authentic—it felt like a comforting bowl from an authentic roadside vendor. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys authentic Asian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently stumbled upon Vientiane Bistro and can confidently say it has become my favorite spot in the area! The dishes are incredibly fresh, and you can taste the authenticity in every bite. I tried the laab and saw a real contrast in flavor compared to other places I've been to. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. This will definitely be a regular place for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in years! The food was full of flavor, from the spices to the fresh ingredients; everything was well considered. I especially enjoyed their red curry with chicken, which left a lasting impression! The restaurant itself has a charming atmosphere and attentive staff. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Vientiane Bistro expecting great things based on the reputation it has built. I was pleased with the service and the warmth from the staff. They have a standout family-friendly environment, but a couple of meals were average at best. I enjoyed the ambiance, but overall it didn't live up to the hype for me. " (*Curated Review*)
