Khop Chai Deu

We had lunch here 3 times during our stay in Vientiane. I had fried rice with vegetables which was served with a soup and a sauce although on the 3rd day, the waiter spilled the soup on the floor but did not serve a new one. Otherwise, the fried rice was very good. The spring rolls set was also very good and was the highlight of our meal. We love the ambiance.

We came in a group of 14 and we were all happy with our food, which came surprisingly quickly. I am a vegetarian and got the "Yellow Curry with Vegetable and tofu" and it was very good, good flavors and tasty. The dessert of a chocolate crepe was also good - the chocolate was especially thick and rich! I also had the Virgin Pina Colada Mocktail and it was NOT GOOD, it was like drinking water with a drop of lime and chili. Couldn't taste any coconut cream. Awful!

Good restaurant in the city centre. You have good options of vegetarian Laos food available. The fried rice, pad thai, salad, noodles were all good. The garlic potato wedges were really good. The cool coconut water was just refreshing. In the night there is a live band which creates a good atmosphere. The staff is friendly.

We stopped by Khop Chai Deu for a quick dinner and drinks. The place has a nice vibe and the service was smooth. I ordered the grilled chicken with a beer; the beer was great as always, but the grilled chicken was quite average and didn’t have much flavour (more dry and bland). My partner being vegetarian, tried the papaya salad, morning glory, and tofu laap. The papaya salad was fresh and tasted good, the morning glory was okay, and the tofu laap was decent. Overall, it’s an alright spot for drinks and a casual meal, but the food is a bit hit-or-miss. The atmosphere is nice though, especially if you’re just looking to relax with a Lao beer

Ample menu. Huge bar menu. Popular with foreigners. Takes credit at 3% surcharge if ya need. Food is … solid. Not great. Seafood salad too sweet and for the price, kinda stingy on the seafood? Papaya salad was legit. Massaman curry was hearty and tasty. Chicken larb was solid. No regrets, but we’ve had better food in the area for sure. Atmosphere is okay here .. but your outside table may get nailed with someone’s smoking as smoking is okay at this restaurant. Upstairs patio sounds nice but your view is of rather chaotic telephone wires and traffic …and you may get lower tables’ smoking wafting up. Inside seating is much nicer. Solid joint, great service, but we don’t feel drawn to return with so many other options. Was able to avoid gluten and dairy by making sure nothing we ordered had soy sauce, wheat flour, oyster sauce, and bouillon powder. Spouse communicated this in Lao to good effect. English is spoken here but have a translation app if you don’t speak Lao and have allergies.

Food was fine with small cute portions; Various entertainment options so quite quite noisy Not very neat so be honest Good to go and have a drink rather than enjoying a big dinner there. Still, love the fried mushrooms!

Draught lager was crisp and cold. Luang Prabang sausage was spot on, served with sauerkraut and chilli and lime dipping sauce. Green beans and minced pork was outstanding. Similar to Thai larb but less intense. So good. Plenty of inside and outside seating. Music not too loud at all. Pool table. Very decent.

Upscale Vientiane Laos cuisine. We ordered a few dishes here with high hopes but unfortunately they did not meet the expectations. We ordered a pitcher of Gin Fizz that came with martini glasses. Also ordered the pork spring roll set that was the highlight. Super good and comes with lettuce, green onions, bean sprouts, and a sauce. Wrap these all up in a lettuce leaf and you are in for a good time. These were 100k. Our main was the Champ platter that had mixed veggies, chicken soup, sticky rice, spicy tomato dip, fried fish, and mango sticky rice. The tomato dip wasn’t super spicy and went well with the fish. Fish was great. Chicken soup was ok. Chunks of ginger that felt a bit like chewing bark on a tree but the broth was good. The mango sticky rice was the highlight here. You’d expect more for a 325k price tag. Staff was really attentive and the location is good but you’d expect a bit more for the price.
