Laotian restaurant · Allendale

"Tucked into a residential neighborhood, Vientian Cafe has the kind of greatest hits menu that spans pho, pad Thai, and every other Southeast Asian standard in between. But it’s a Lao restaurant above all else, and to unlock the restaurant’s true greatness, diners should order exclusively off the separate menu of Lao specialties: nam kao, or crunchy rice ball salad; a best-in-class version of baked Lao sausages; catfish steamed inside banana leaves; and an assortment of delicious noodle soups. Many of the dishes are priced at less than $10. Call in or walk up to order." - Luke Tsai
