Laan-Xang Cafe

We tried Laan-Xang's Laotian dishes here - the larb & Lao fish pocket. The dishes were beautifully presented, felt authentic, made with fresh ingredients and flavorful. Although we're not shy from fish sauce, sometimes Southeast Asian food can taste strong on the fish sauce & fermentation. We felt like this place nails it perfectly to show off native flavors in an approachable way for Westerners. Love seeing a diverse offering thrive in this small community! 🌠🌟✨️

Three of us had a quick lunch here on a weekend. The server was nice. This is a family operation and the quality shows. The food was fresh, good ingredients and nicely presented. We ate on the deck which has a really great view of the harbor.

My first time having Sai Ghock (sausage) -- amazing flavor and texture. The Lao fish pocket was also flavorful. There is no bathroom in the restaurant, but there is a public bathroom down the hill across the street.

This incredible place has authentic Thai and Lao food, outdoor seating (water view) and 2 cozy tables inside. Like many restaurants, cash or check is preferred. We used our credit card, and left a good tip. Really, really delicious food. Plenty of it! Very generous portions.

We stopped in for a quick snack, and we’ll DEFINITELY be back! The staff were super friendly and willing to accommodate a vegetarian/vegan diet. We tried the larb with tofu and no fish sauce, the summer roll, and a Thai sweet tea with coconut milk. I’m very excited for our next trip to Belfast so I can try more!

Unfortunately we won't be back. We've been coming for many years (not that often but about 8 - 10 visits) and while the server is absolutely lovely, we can't justify $60 for a lunch for two when the food has grown to be so ... uninspired. The Cornish game hen is served with some boiled? frozen vegetables that have no sauce and are absolutely tasteless. My pho with beef had 3 ingredients, broth, noodles and a couple pieces of beef. No vegetables at all, and this time not even any fresh sprouts on the side like I used to get. It was ridiculously simple, 3 ingredients and hardly any beef. Have always liked you but I think you've gotten tired of making the same food over and over. If we are going to spend $60 it has to be some tasty food and some generosity on the part of the owner.

Most authentic Thai and Lao food in Maine! The freshness and homemade sauces make on the dishes. Local humanly raised chicken and fresh fish featured on the menu! Try everything in the menu especially the Lao menu. Simply exquisite.

Awesome Thai food right in Belfast down by the water front. We've eaten here a number of times over the last 3 years and it's always delicious. This place is very busy in the summer, has limited seating both on the outdoor patio and inside. It's a small family run business and their food is great! All homemade so if you're looking for fast food try some place else. We had their crispy egg rolls, pad see ew with chicken and Lorb. Everything was fresh, hot and excellent. You won't be disappointed.
