Came here for dinner around 8pm. Service was fast and efficient, food was amazing! Loved both versions of the papaya salad; nuts and salted eggs made for a very interesting taste profile. The spicy minced pork was also delicious and to my surprise I handled it well despite not usually eating spicy f
The fermented sausage was tasty. All the dishes were flavourful, especially the mushroom curry. I chose the least spicy option but the papaya salad still seemed a bit too hot for my tastes. Overall reasonable for the number of dishes we had. No complaints!
Coming with friends on Friday evening with reservations, I have had a great experience. Most dishes were yummy 😋 , esp. for the grilled fish and papaya salad. It’s quite authentic style of the papaya salad, similar to northern Thai style
The service was also friendly and good 😊, I will come again!
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.

I never had Lao food before even I have had been living in Asia all my life. We came here on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch before we went to see our show at the KitKat club. The restaurant is not very far away from Monument station. The restaurant it’s very clean and stylish decor. There are bar t
We came for a quick dinner before a show and between the four of us, we shared the deep-fried chicken wings, the chargrilled pork skewers, fermented Lao sausages, tum Thai (papaya salad), prawn pad mee Lao (vermicelli noodles) and laab moo (minced pork). All the dishes packed a punch in flavour and
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
It was fine, was t a massive fan of the flavours in general but it was interesting. Especially the ants egg soup.
Service was good and price was reasonable.

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 v
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?
Great food, super flavourful, fresh and exciting. Go with friends and share a couple plates. We were three and had a papaya salad, a grilled meat, a dry salad, a hot pot, a noodle dish and a rice and we were happily full and spent 27£ each, so great value!
Service was initially slow, but once food s
